Reasons Why We Home Educate

17 September 2004 by Tim

I am considering simply publishing the BBC Education RSS newsfeed and captioning it: “Reasons Why We Home Educate”

Here are some of my current favourite articles:-

  1. Gangs who fail exams on purpose Gang culture in the north east of England means teenagers deliberately fail exams to "stay cool", researchers say.
  2. Rise in teenage truancy figures More secondary school pupils in England have been absent from school, despite an official clampdown.
  3. School puts Big Macs on the menu A secondary school buys Big Macs from McDonald's for school dinners because of canteen staff shortages.
  4. Research reveals more 'ladettes' More schoolgirls are drinking, smoking and being rowdy, according to research carried out at Lancaster University.
