Personally, I think it's just a way of voicing their emotions online and using slightly hysterical language to 'break the ice' with other home-edders.<br /><br />What I find far more worrying are the people who come on to the various groups and post something like,<br />"I've just deregistered little Juliet from school and now I really need to know how to get started, what to do, what curriculum to follow, etc. etc."<br /><br />It rather worries me that someone would go so far as to actually deregister without having given any thought to what they would do afterwards. <br />It's something that seems to happen a hell of a lot.James Gunternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881402584568285627.post-61761857242202726552015-07-05T17:15:16.239-07:002015-07-05T17:15:16.239-07:00Hello, women have often express emotions.

This happens routinely when a new school is being investigated, for example. No matter how much effort a parent has gone to to get the right school for their child though, and many go to the most extraordinary lengths to see that the child gets into a particular place, I have never heard of one sleeping for six weeks or crying for two after getting little Johnny into the correct school. This sort of mad and hysterical behaviour is limited to home educators.It is that which I find odd, not making an effort to ensure that your child's education is secured in the best way possible.Simon Webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10865289865412656573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881402584568285627.post-76780436601212598742015-06-27T12:03:41.934-07:002015-06-27T12:03:41.934-07:00 I have seen you complain before Simon that famili... I have seen you complain before Simon that families start home educating without considering the implications; surely you would welcome someone having some reservations about their choice?Julienoreply@blogger.com
