Yes, this is exactly what they're saying. If they can't control it, they want to, regardless of evidence (and the only evidence they trust is the evidence they control) Education Committee #FairHearing4HomeEd #HomeEducationInquiry

Out of 8 witnesses so far in the two hearings, only two with any experience home educating, and no current or former home educated children. Disgraceful Education Committee #FairHearing4HomeEd

We would love one, and we have put in a lot of work trying to build it! But the 2019 guidance actively sabotages relationships, and so does the choice to allocate contact with home educators to the same team that deals with school attendance. Education Committee #FairHearing4HomeEd

BTW, not allocating this responsibility to attendance teams was one of the recommendations of the 2012 report of the Education Committee - and it was never implemented #FairHearing4HomeEd

And yet @halfon4harlowMP thinks home educated children are missing out on an "opportunity". Standardised tests are a poor replacement for detailed observation, only used in schools because of issues of scale and a lack of creativity. Imposing them on home ed kids is ridiculous

JCQ’s ‘worked examples’ to help exam centres grade kids this summer is out. Guess how home-educated kids are graded... 2 kids: same marks, proof of same ability, different grades = discrimination. #FairHearing4HomeEd ⁦Sir Gavin Williamson CBE MP⁩ ⁦Department for Education⁩ ⁦Tes magazine
