another brick in the wall (Badman review)- C.L.F.

A protest song and video by the Childrens Liberation Front against Graham Badman's report and the prospect of enforced schooling

these are the lyrics (for the hard of hearing)

We don't need your registration
We don't need your yearly goals
No right of entry to our houses
Badman leave home ed alone
Hey Badman leave us kids alone
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another pawn for Ed Balls

Excellent! I hope to see more things like this. People don't seem to see this is against all parental rights, not just home schooling. And since when is the government a benevolent, kindly person only after your best interest? NEVER! Your kids deserve the superior education they are are receiving!

[rhyfelwrDuw]

Schools rule - NOT!! Thanks for producing this video - I home educate because my children matter!

[ohretyah]

Marvellous video! If the morons responsible for 'education' cannot see where they are going wrong, they should not be in the job. Yes, EVERY child matters. You don't have to be middle class, or brown-bread-and-sandals to HE. You don't have to rich. Just give your children a better life. Don't be bullied by the bullying types employed by the 'government'. (Don't remove stupid comments posted here - leave them in. Let people judge for themselves ! We're not daft).

jason

it can't be all that bad when you think there is 40,000+ children in the uk being home educated

most of the home ed kids are very intelagent bright and mix very well.

where school children are bullied not including they drinking smoking and going clubbing or hanging out in the streets, getting in trouble with the law and many even have asbos

school children dont follow there dream job even with gcse and your saying school is best! i doubt it

try educating yourself on home education

[nananeenaw]

Jason, most people who you would probably judge as not being a benefit to society, probably went to state schools. No offence but you are misinformed.

[Ebericana]

JasonChalifoux...more than 1 in 6 children leave school unable to read and write. So much for yearly goals and registering.

[JasonChalifoux]

You home educators should be registered and have yearly goals.

The rest of society and the government is going to be responsible for the person that you eventually produce, so we as a society should be able to make sure that that person is going to be a benefit to society when they come to working age.

If you don't like it, vote with your feet and leave this country.

very nice work. well done everyone involved.

[1madmum]

Brilliant, it all goes together well. My children loved it and can still be heard singing it. They'll probably think the Pink Floyd words are wrong when they hear the original! Thankyou for doing this to raise the profile of our choice to home educate
