As opposed to taught by a no mark, straight out of school with no life skills but has read a book. Triffic.

That is the reality of the standard of some teachers.

Any chance you could confine your weird teacher hatred to just the one thread?

It takes up a lot of space that I then have to skim through, you see.

I need evidence that some teachers are straight from college with no other life skills? Are you for real.

as it happens it is nothing to do with that. If it is ok to create some view of "muvver in her PJ's" to ridicule home Ed then it is only fair to paint the equivalent of some teachers.

I personally want my children teaching by teachers who have experiences of things other than teaching as well as being qualified teachers. I think that makes a better teacher.
The straight out of college teacher, is a weakness of the current system and it is only fair to point this out in response to the thing said about home ed.

It seems to be a hatred of authority per se. They are all over the social services/health visitor thread too.

All they do is repeat similar opinions, over and over. It's very bizarre.

JohnnyL - i feel you should be entitled at next parents evening to request your childs teachers CV and an explanation of "life experiences"

Seriously this has gone way off topic the OP was hiding from Social Services and had a young baby so it came to light she couldnt be bothered taking 3 year old to nursery and had all the interaction for her child from friends and neighbours, large family etc but now it has jumped to home education, personally i want rid of kids for 7 hours a day for sanity i get to go home have a snooze watch jezza, sweeney etc

yes its very bizzare not being a sheep blindly plodding along. You are politicians dream, you receive and inwardly digest any old !!!! that is thrown at you. Nanny knows best etc....some of us are intelligent enough to challenge things like this.

Do all parents in truth not home educate to a certain extent? Homework/projects, that type of thing?

I have a four year old son who has been totally fluent in numbers up to the hundreds since he was two. He can add and subtract up to double figures no problem, but definitely not triple. He can "read" as in he recognises letter groups but not the actual letters themselves and has been able to do so for a good while now.

I however rely heavily on his nursery for direction with his learning as I do not want my ineptitude at teaching to be the cause of my son distancing himself from learning. My concern is that when home educating where do you get the perspective from to determine this until it is too late?

I remain open minded about HE. I can see very big advantages but also disadvantages. I can also see how it might suit some families but not others. Just like nursery - there's pros & cons. If a child came from an environment with poor stimulation, minimal interaction etc etc then a nursery would be advantageous. However I've also seen nurseries in which a child would be less stimulated than in their loving and stimulating home.

I've got a fairly bright DD in mainstream school. Top of her year group & working at least 1, if not 2 years above her age group. She's in a normal school but I do feel that she's being held back although she's given supposed special work. Just this morning she told me she'd asked if she could read the teachers textbook as they'd been discussing something & DD was keen to know more. She wanted to read up about it at home & been told no because the teacher didn't want her to get ahead if the others in her group (thats the top sub-group of the top class - if you know what I mean). It's little things like this that annoy me & frustrate DD. if she was HE'd we'd go at her pace which may well be GCSEs at 13 or 14. I don't HE due to family circumstances, but I certainly wouldn't rule it out if circumstances changed or I became deeply unhappy with the state provision.
