'Have your say'

I have been SO impressed with the quality of the debate and comments in response to our 'Have our say' campaign – please have a look at some of them on our website.

My thanks also to Ross Mountney who has been 'having her say',and educating me re. the fact that many ‘home educators’ support more practical learning:

"Our children, both home educated in order to try and avoid the academic cloning going on in schools, have gone onto do BTECs at college to avoid the boring GCSE, A level route. But still, although these courses are heralded as practical, they are loaded with subversive academics that unless achieved mean that your overall results are poor. To my mind this completely devalues them as 'practical'!"
