THREAD:
Just some reminders of how #GIRFEC grifters have long been abusing children's rights, the rot having started in Highland

THREAD: So much wrong with this pre-paywall it's not worth reading. Cheryl doesn't #homeschool & doesn't mis-term #homeeducation #homeed (which is not 'excusing' from school, it's the default).
thetimes.co.uk/article/lockdo… Last month we polled our most recently-joined members on their school vs. #homeed intentions post-lockdown. School lost the popular vote by a wide margin with only 8% definitely returning thier children.

THREAD: We are beginning a #factchecking audit of websites that claim to offer info and advice on #homeed in Scotland. There are only two sites we would recommend that are accurate and up to date: our own scothomed.co.uk (of course!) & @HomeEdScotland We've contacted @scotgov's mygov.scot repeatedly to correct errors/update #homeed content but no response. They can't even get terminology right & link to inactive/discredited orgs mygov.scot/home-schooling/ We expect better of govt sites than to mislead the public 👎
