“I was quite happy with the idea that kids went to school and that what you had to do was pick the best school, then you questioned whether they had to go to school at all, and now I question every bloody thing”
Paused while I was typing, and he added “and none of it stands up to examination. Which is the real problem.”
Dunno whether that’s a laugh or cry moment really.
I’m off to bed. Camp blog tomorrow.
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.

laugh and cry, maybe. Kwym though, plenty of things that had never been questioned before came under scrutiny after we’d questioned education. It can only be a good thing, though, can’t it? I hope! Looking forward to your camp blog 🙂
Welcome back hun!
Hooray you’re back!
Yes, it’s a pain in the proverbial isn’t it, once you start questioning things.
Teach a man to think and who knows what might happen. 😉
I feel like that often. Plenty of kids are actually quite happy at school and sometimes I wish I hadn’t looked beyond the surface. But it’s too late; the box is open.
Look forward to your camp round-up 🙂
Hi Jax
Glad you’re back – hope it was fun. Can you un-hibernate (de-hibernate??) us please.
Ta!
Oops – I see you have already done that! Thanks.
