I have a very dry cough. I phoned my sons school this morning to say im keeping him at home and they moaning at me and said they are marking it down as Unautherised Absence. When are schools going to take this seriously??? Instead of pressuring parents to send kids to school and punishing parents if they keep kids at home.

@hellonearth9347 Dont worry my son is at home. Im a single dad so im used to being classed as an inferior parent by the school. I'm always treated as if im not capable of caring for my son correctly (by the school) because i'm only a man. Equal rights go out the window when its the other way around.

@Stephen Morris Its perfectly legal to home educate your kids. Then they cant touch you. Iv done it before, with my daughter.

Dans Smith Thank you, that's a very kind offer. Yes i agree there are plenty of stubbling blocks the eduction authority uses to make home schooling harder. They tried every trick in the book when i home schooled my daughter for almost 4 years. My number one tip to anyone home schooling is to have all meeting away from the family home. There is no need for them to enter your family home and they dont have any legal right to do so. No matter what tall stories or excuses or blatant lies they tell you, in an attempt to enter your family home. (that opens the door that allows them to criticise your childrens home life) These people have meeting room for any assessments they wish to carry out. Keep records of everything, including recording all assessments. They have a tendancy to add or remove details in there official reports. Without a recording of every meeting, parents dont have a leg to stand on. If you make the assessors aware you are recording all meetings. They are more likely to play by the rules, instead of them making them up as they go along. Question everythig they say. Sign nothing. Agree to nothing. But most importantly enjoy spending time with your children and educate them well. My daughter went on to do 3 years at collage doing computer programming and passed all three years with distinctions. She is in the top 1% three years in a row. So much so, the college lectures stopped other kids sitting too close to her in class. In there words "If you sit there it's like giving you the answer sheet every day"
