International Freedom in Education Day 15 Sep 2009
Posted: Mon Sep 14, 2009 2:19 pm
As some of you know, I've Home Educated my youngest 3 sons for the past 5 years.
Although one of them has started at a Further Education college today, I intend to continue to Home Educate my youngest 2 until, they, too, are old enough to (and, of course, only if they want to!) attend a Further Education college. My 14YO is autistic and has severe learning difficulties, with little communication, so will doubtless stay Home Educated indefinitely.
Anyway, that was just by way of a preamble. The main reason for this post is to let you all know that tomorrow, Tuesday, 15th September 2009 is the third annual International Freedom in Education Day, which is mainly, but not exclusively, regarding promoting the rights of parents to Home Educate their children:

There are a number of 'Not Back To School' Picnics happening over the next few days, partly to publicise Home Ed, and for other reasons explained in the link below:

As I'm organising the St. Albans one , I probably won't surface to answer any questions on this till Wednesday at the earliest!
Most of the picnics are intending handing out leaflets and are welcoming outsiders to talk about Home Education.
