Here comes the horse
but having just had our feet run over by the cart I suspect that a lot of home educators will NOT feel like taking part in any research commissioned by the DCSF.
DCSF intends to commission a study to investigate the.feasibility of embarking on a longitudinal project investigating the provision of teaching and learning for, and the attainment of, home-educated children.
The overarching aim of the feasibility study will be to:
A small-scale investigation at LA-level to assess numbers of home-educated children known to them;
Research with voluntary organisations to establish number and type of children known to them; and
Research with families who home educate.
It is anticipated that the project will start in April 2010.
(the above was a direct copy/paste and all typos and grammatical errors are the business of the DCSF)
It’s a lovely little touch that this research falls under the DfES Objective “Close the gap in educational achievement for children from disadvantaged backgrounds”.

Lets hope NO home educated parents or children take part! but you always seem to get one that will like Simon webb?
I wonder why they doing this what the real reason is?
