Govt fears homeschooling parents are ‘poisoning’ kids
The Education Secretary has ordered officials to review home education in England over fears that parents could be ‘poisoning’ their children’s minds.
According to senior Government sources, home schooling is now “on the radar”, and they want to discover exactly how many children are taught at home, beyond the reach of inspectors.
But concerns have been raised that regulation of home education greatly undermines the role of parents.
