My hopes for the Home Educating Rights petition are rather deflated. I found <a href="http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/juggle/" rel="nofollow">this joke</a> - which has three times the number of signatories! Oh, dear.

I always took the "stupid" bit as referring to the not letting women vote, rather than any more general comment - might be a reasonable explanation anyway if needed!

I like your book/food analogies- have you got one for fish and chips? I just quietly cringed through the rainbow magic phase, deciding that any reading was good, plenty of time to develop better taste in books! I just see it as the same as wanting to wear pink frilly stuff, but it's all practice. We're onto horsey stuff now- basically anything that involves horses will do, so at least that leaves more scope ;-) Joy often reads books about fairies and other, (probably) awful stuff by Enid Blighton! And also Jacqeline Wilson, which is a bit gritty realism, but I am just so glad that she actually wants to read anything. I dont think they do *any* book reading at her school! LOL!
