017: UK lobbyist on parental authority and education policy
Manage episode 462353379 series 3599665
In the latest episode of the Seatton Education podcast, host Victoria sits down with a veteran campaigner for families’ educational rights to discuss the growing trend of home education in the UK.
This insightful conversation challenges the misconceptions surrounding homeschooling, emphasizing that it’s not just about online lessons or hiring tutors. Instead, the focus is on family-based learning—an approach that often takes place beyond the home, fostering real-world skills and stronger family connections.
The episode also dives into the external pressures facing modern families, including fiscal policies pushing both parents into the workforce and increasing state control over children’s education and upbringing. Many families are turning to home education due to concerns about bullying, dissatisfaction with the school system, and the desire to support their children’s mental health and well-being.
Victoria and Randall explore how home education empowers parents to take back control, prioritise family time, and nurture their children in a more personalized way.
