No? Well I think our chances of survival on the Titanic might well be higher than at the hands of the newly-revealed Home Education Review panel.

Rather weighted towards Childrens Services and Ofsted it would seem and not looking at all favourable for us home educators. Strange how a review panel on home education managed to have no-one from the home education community on it...
Ok, so even the optimistic part of me is thinking now that we're b******d.

I'm sure I've read that James Conroy used to home educate?
tbh, I think the make up of this panel might be in our favour in that we can fairly point out that it is biased against us by virtue of having no one with any experience/ knowledge of EHE particulary autonomous education. That's what I keep telling myself.
