Should home schooling be more closely monitored?
Are you teaching your children at home?An attempt to find out how many children are educated at home found that the number in England could range between 7,400 and 34,400.
The results, from a study commissioned by the Department of Education and Skills, are inconclusive partly because there is no obligation for families to tell their local authorities that they are home educating.đ
Parents said bullying and inadequate local education kept their children away from school.đ
What are your experiences of home schooling and reasons for doing so? Are you worried about the lack of information on children's education?đ
