Please feel free to alter this letter - this is just a very basic, rough idea that I hope we will refine.

 

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

We read with interest today the Prime Minister's comments reaffirming all parents' absolute right to "make choices about their children's education which are best suited to their children's needs irrespective of who their parents are or what job they do".

 

As home educators we agree with the Prime Minister on this. Indeed, we have been making this point for decades.

 

In light of such unequivocal support from the Prime Minister, we suggest and expect that the proposed consultation on monitoring of Elective Home Education will be scrapped. The money saved should be spent getting all Local Authorities to act within the perfectly adequate laws that already exist, and in making it known that Home Education is as valid an option as school for ALL parents and children, "regardless of who they are or what job they do".

 

 

"Secondly the Prime Minister supported absolutely the right of parents to make choices about their children's' education which are best suited to those children's' needs, irrespective of who their parents were and what job they did."
