A year ago I did a round up of posts about home education and why ppl chose it. I didn’t call it a carnival, don’t know why. One year on, and we aren’t fighting against Badman any more, we have a new government who are broadly supportive of parental choice and therefore home education and it doesn’t feel like we are quite so set about as we have been.
So this year, the notbacktoschool picnics may be more of a celebration than a rallying call, which is how I’d like them to be 
I’m hoping that we’ll have another picnic maybe at the beach and blow bubbles, but in the meantime, I’d like to invite any and all to join in a notbacktoschool carnival. Tell us why, tell us how, show us your bubble pics, give us laughter, make us cry, whatever, but let’s celebrate home education.
Edited to change deadline.
Deadline for submission 6th September and I’ll publish on 8th September extended to 10th September, publication hopefully on 12th.
Either leave links in the comments here, or send them to me through the contact form Look forward to seeing what you’ve all got to say.
must remember to buy bubble mix and take pics this year!
Thanks Jax for encouraging me to write it up! I’m going to try to post some of my “potions classes. You are a true gem! Thanks for making me feel as if I have something to bring to the conversation.

Will have a go Jax, our local picnic was cancelled but can blow our own bubbles/trumpet : )
Might need a little longer than above deadline!

well, it’s not a bubble blowing picnic but I did report on our first day “not back at school” – there was too much weather for any outdoorsy activity!
This one, perhaps? http://whoteacheswhom.blogspot.com/2010/09/not-back-to-school.html
