Schools in the uk are having a bit of a bad press at the moment.
Send your children to nursery and they run the risk of suffering abuse from staff and having pictures of the atrocity posted on the internet.
Allow your teenager to follow an art course and run the risk that a novice teacher will not see the danger as your child plunges their hands into a bucket of plaster of paris in order to make a mould.
Unbelievably both these horror stories have been in the news this week. The nursery abuse has only recently come to light, but the art class incident happened three years ago - the school has just been ordered to pay a fine, equivalent to 2,000 Euros for each of the eight fingers the student lost when her hands were burned almost beyond repair when the plaster heated up as it set.
The biggest drawback people usually cite against home educating is that your children will not have the opportunity to mix with others in their age group.
Suddenly this doesn't seem so much of a price to pay.
