I want to apologise to those who got pretty upset with me for my thread about funding for home education- in particular Mammasez and Julienoshoes. I think I was suffering from having a foot in both camps having been a teacher recently and also still having a child at the primary school I withdrew two of my children from. I went to said childs leaving assembly today - she is in Year Six and off to High School and as I listened to the assembly and looked around I realised what a freedom I have now with my home ed children and I can see now that it isn't possible to have funding without strings and in truth not possible to find strings which some can accept without jeopardising the freedoms of the many.
I want to assure you that I am no lone crusader - I wouldn't have gone ahead and campaigned on anyones behalf without a huge amount of support. I suppose I would describe myself more as a lonely home edder- very new to the arena and wanting to make links and seek safety in numbers - I was looking at things from the wrong perspective .
