First Life

I am thinking of signing up for this, but I am really not convinced it will catch on.

Broken Society

I just watched Andrew Marr’s interview with Webcameron for Sunday AM. View online.

I think DC’s is right about the Broken Society, but I don’t think that what he proposes represents more than just tinkering at the edges. It is all very well to say that we need a new spirit of civic responsibility, but I think that to achieve that we need to think a lot more fundamentally about how we reconnect people with the places they sleep.

Five Live

Gill mentioned a Five Live debate about HE today, featuring Janey Lee Grace. Managed to hear the back end of it, seemed like the discussion was a bit more useful than most of these things. Did sound like the needle is still stuck on socialisa… click…socialisa… click…socialisa…click… socialisa… click… and the advantages of being bullied though.

    Wow, that First Life thing looks great! 😆
    Broken society: hmmm. Make education optional? I reckon that’d help fix things 😉
    House prices: yes, it’s a job for the National Guesswork Authority really, innit? 🙄

    Well the article is drivel, but I do like the idea of a National Guesswork Authority.

    Can’t cope with that first life thing – you can’t click on any links on the page… 😉

How I Can Help

After 20+ years of home educating my four children (two now adults), I’ve gathered a wealth of experience that I’m passionate about sharing. Beyond blogging and guest writing, I offer several services designed to support families on their home education journey.

Resources to Support Your Home Ed Journey

I’ve put together a collection of resources that I’ve genuinely found useful over the years—things that have actually made a difference in our home education. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to freshen things up, there’s something here to help. These are the tools, guides, and materials I’d recommend to a friend, because they work.
