A good example of homeschooling ; two weeks ago i was out with my granddaughter (I teach her on fridays) We were out & about and passed Cardington Camp where the new airships are being developed & one was outside.
So we stopped & filmed it & on our return she spent a couple of hours researching airships .She now has an understanding of airships ,their history & possible future.

If your not allowed to drive your kids to school then it should be down to the school to pick the kids up.

Why should they?  What's wrong with kids walking, cycling or using the bus?  This whole "school run"  business is just another example of over indulging our kids and taking away their chance to learn independence and self-reliance.  Why do you think we have a generation of entitled snowflakes demanding safe spaces and trigger warnings to protect their feelings?

Why not I want my kids to have a much easier life than what I had and I had a pretty easy life really.

The next thing they will be telling you what food you can feed them or what clothes they have to wear (do they already do that). And by the way theirs nothing wrong with walking or cycling or sending them on a bus if you want to but there is something wrong when your told you have to.

You don't make life easy for kids by making them dependent on others. You make it easier by teaching them self-reliance.

No-one is forcing you to take your kids to school.  Teach them to get there by themselves.

To be fair I think I set the bar really high, where I come from both those things were very high risk to the kids. I'm really glad I trusted no one, protecting my kids was my highest priority.
