hi...hello people, and thank you for your comments.<br /><br />hi toni, your thoughts and dialogue are welcomed. i guess the proper place to address the issues you raise is in a blog post, so i'll do that in time. thanks again.Grithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14022216340604423686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-85273381145776571542010-10-01T15:19:38.924-07:002010-10-01T15:19:38.924-07:00Grit, I agree with you that the Met's document...Grit, I agree with you that the Met's document should not have been reproduced in this context, and that the baldly expressed views that home educators are suspect (IN RED!!!) are offensive to those who have made an often agonising choice, are putting in the hard yards and are far more committed to their children's welfare than many other parents.<br /><br />But at no time have you or your readers acknowledged the difficult job police and social welfare have in determining which child is being abused, and how. Nor have you admitted that SOME child abusers may hide behind home schooling so their crimes aren't detected. Instead of whining about how you're all so misunderstood, why not get angry enough about it so there's a bit (just a bit, mind you) of regulation over what you do. Perhaps a GP or social work visit mandated every school "term"? On a random date? I am neither a home educator nor a teacher but if there is a way to REMOVE this tag from the Met's checklist isn't that better than moaning about being on it in the first place?<br /><br />I appreciate what you do. Don't stuff it up by being weak where you can be strong.Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13052573910584530451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-22163378524880508312010-09-27T18:16:55.105-07:002010-09-27T18:16:55.105-07:00Dang, so that's where I went wrong, huh?

I have no desire to get on board. I don't mind at all that other people are on board. But I have to acknowledge that it makes the water round about a bit choppy, and it spoils the view a little. I agree with you, though, that if you look hard, there are lots of little bobbing rowing boats around still.Iota https://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-10716953572378983112010-09-27T06:28:01.347-07:002010-09-27T06:28:01.347-07:00I think you're just fine Grit!
