Ooh, went a whole day yesterday without posting!

Then again, didn’t do anything overtly educational! Dd had a pleasant day – we shopped yesterday afternoon for birthday party things and then popped to a friends house to drop off some stuff and had tea there. Had a debate about home ed – it is so difficult to be positive about home ed without being negative about schools and teachers, and I don’t want to be. I feel that schools cannot possibly suit all children, and also that the education system in this country wasn’t actually set up to educate as such (too much John Holt and Gatto methinks!) and I don’t want my young children in school. If dd does seriously want to go later then we’ll consider it again then. She’s talking about it now, but I don’t think she realised that not everyone goes to school – I’m hoping that MP camp will help to open her eyes a bit!
