ID cards doomed, say officials – Sunday Times – Times Online
Slow news day today is it? Can’t help feeling this really ought to have been a headline, haven’t seen a sniff of it on bbc news though, or in the guardian for that matter. Only found it when following a link from Butterflies and wheels to something else entirely.
So there you go, looks like ID cards are falling by the wayside. Wonder if there’s anything we can do to help (what’s the emoticon for an evil grin?)
Click the links below and scroll through my collection of ideas, workshops, excursions, and more to discover practical everyday activities you can do together in and around your home classroom.
Need support for your home ed journey? Looking for tutoring for your young person? Have an idea for a collaboration? I’d love to hear from you!
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.
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.

Bwa ha haa!
You can see why MPs like kicking civil servants, when they go and spoil good policies with irrelevant details like reality. I wonder how much money will be sunk into this before they realise it won’t work? I should tone down the cynicism and be grateful that at least there’s hope now.
The Register, as ever, has a bit of analysis and opinion.
…we can only hope
Only wish it would take the Children’s Database down with it!
I would imagine it is only a matter of time Carlotta 🙂
Further analysis from The Register, reading the political signals and finding encouraging things.
The Children’s Database? Isn’t that the Tesco Clubcard baby & toddler club thing? Funny how government has a hard time implementing Big Brother, but Big Business does it with worrying efficiency.
