Having listenend to how worried parents are regarding the pandemic and education, l began to wonder as to why there has been no coverage regarding the many people who now home  educate their children. Surley this is an opportunity for  all those concerned with children's  education to get togeather and engage with ideas of how to assists parents and children who have to work from home.

The government website has information regarding home education ;www.gov.uk/government/publications/elective-home-education.  This has information which may assist many families at this present time, with regard to legislation etc, ( it's a bit of an eye opener !)

 This could be such a good opportunity to think how we can alleviate some of the stresses of this pandemic on families  and the teaching profession by cooperating with all groups, which should include those that home educate, they could be a very valuable resource to help parents that feel overwhelmed. Why not use this  opportunity to  pull resources and ideas  togeather, to construct a workable structure for all . What an example it would be  of  actually  working togeather and a being able to to assit famillies in  enhancing  well- being.

 Lets instill confidence and not fear !
