Nope, none at all. Sorry

[mammatube]

Well done All of you! Make your voices heard!!!

[Lucyinthewoods]

Awesome. You really showed the DCSF up - it's incredible that they had the gall to pull out of meeting you like this. It really proves a point about how interested they genuinely are in "listening to children". Keep up your good work until they have no choice! You're all fantastic. :-) Imogen

any follow up coming?

[RichardRoy2]

Such poor scheduling makes me ask, were the administrators products of home, or public education? You're fighting a worthy cause. Good luck.

[RichardRoy2]

Funny that they should try to use such an accusation to justify the discontinuation of home schooling. Does this mean that the existence of one instance of such crimes in families of publicly schooled children justifies the disbanding of public schools?

DCSF grrr rage!!! Devious Child Stealing ... you can guess the F

Why are they trying to make up a problem in the first place? A lot of this report is just incorrect statistics. And I can't believe that they sent in a security guard, what were you going to do, steal their mobiles? They obviously have no understanding of home education at all. If they do want to change the way people home educate, then they should actually know what home education is in the first place!

Hi guys would love an update on your latest meeting. Thanks from all home educators in Britain. :-)

Thank you all for doing this... I just saw this whilst writing to my MP Dawn Primarolo regarding all this... and your composed and mature presentation has made me rein in my slightly ranting email...

Thanks for representing our views... my children thank you... good luck... don't let them grind you down...
