@hiddendepths I agree with you Chris. This report is appalling and based on a very selective literature and none of the vast home ed research. They talked to only 10 local authority people and as a result promote myths that have no basis in any credible evidence. Shocking!

If a child lives in England but attends a school in Wales (because they are close to the border) they will be taught the Welsh National Curriculum. Not the English National Curriculum. Will the parents be prosecuted by their Council for not providing a 'suitable education'?

Brilliant piece on Tourette's on The Conversation. Shows another example of how schools fail young people who have serious conditions. We know that small learning communities can provide the support and understanding that schools can't.

@FlourishingHE Hi Fabienne. At our College we talk of our role as helping young people to be able to lead a good life. And it's not for the state to define 'good' - it's for the young person. Research shows that school contributes very little to helping people lead a good life so it should go.

Looks great.

Tony Blair's knighthood is an insult to all those who died or were injured in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Send a peace message to the Prime Minister: Tony Blair to have his "Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter" rescinded - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/kbFrDwYrvD

@MarcusRashford Hi Marcus. I wrote a piece about you for the Royal Society for the Arts. Please check their Comment section on their web. Hope you like it.

@FairHearing4HE @HumanistsUK There is not an illegal schools problem. Since Ofsted created its hit squad (I think in 2015) there have been 4 prosecutions ie there are not thousands of children in illegal schools - it is factually incorrect.

@iamdavidbudd @BBCSangita @foodjournalist @RobHouben @BBCRadio4 @agoraroermond @anarchy Re scale, yes you need small. From Dunbar's work you need less than 150 for a working community. I reality less than 100 is sensible. The world's oldest civilizations (hunter-gatherer bands) have been less than 100 in order to live ecologically.
