Im all for Home Education as someone who did it herself. I had personal issues that meant i missed my gcse schooling time. As a studious person even at 16 i made the decision to take GCSE at age 17 and then alevels at 18 to make sure i have the opportunity to go to university which is nothing like a school environment. its mostly self study anyways so as a home educated person i thrived in that university environment. There depriving their kids of the choice to have a future and there lies the problem.

My issue with chris and sarah is that their experience of the 'rat race' would be highly different to their childrens if they provided them with the education and opportunity to explore high paid jobs such as a psychaitrist or doctor. Their experience lies in with the minimum paid jobs which are character building and provide finances. Its highly different being in a job you love and enjoy.

Im currently in the 'rat race' as a consultant at a hospital but my 'rat race' has just provided me with an opportunity to move to the USA which we will be doing his coming september. Im now going to be earning over 400k a year as a specialist at a north carolina hospital. SO give me this 'rat race' any day of the week. Im also in a finacial position where if i chose to retire tommorow at 32 i would be able to live comfortubly but unlike some i love my job and the ability to help people/provide people with emergency treatment.

so i think chris and sarah many of us on this platform prefer our own lives in this 'rat race' than yours.

If my twins were to be home educated in the future i would allow it but i would also make sure like most home educators the opportunites for their futures no matter what they chose whether it be a a english teacher, doctor or chef ect. I would always provide them with the tools to achieve this. Thats where your issue is. Your not providing them with the ability to reach there dreams because that impacts your and thats where your selfish deicisons lie.

Why does Isabelle remind me of Edward Scissorhands in that Trafford centre picture 😂
She just needs to get Mummy’s pizza hair cutting scissors for her hands!

I know a degree isn’t everything but I can only say what I was taught and that was to get an education when you have no responsibilities and if you decide to change course then go for it because you only have one life but at least you can finance your dream when you have a good job until your plan b is established and supporting you and in the event of it going tits up you have something to fall back on.

Not sure why lady said there’s only 2 years between Esmé and isla. There’s 2 years 10 months so that’s pretty much 3 years. And it’s 3 school years difference.
Also she said Esmé might take GCSEs if she wants but how can she if she isn’t following the specification of a particular exam board?

Oh dear, she doesn’t have a grasp on socialisation and effectively working with and alongside others.

If Sarah was teaching her four children from prep to A-Level, that would be her full time job. There’s no getting around that.

The older three are “enrolled in an online thing”. What? Distance ed? If so, I’d say that is absolutely the right thing to do for her children.

Nothing wrong with Isabelle being a homebody as long as she’s happy. Having next to no outside interaction does not strike me as healthy or leading to a happy and content person. It screams lack of confidence and possible depression.

That wasn’t really a helpful vlog on home educating, she gave little by way of how or what she is teaching or how the older kids are learning.

If they are doing distance ed, as far as I’m aware, they would have to follow lessons and submit work electronically by a given date, usually weekly.

Where are the learning activities? If being home educated, these kids should be having daily outings, meeting up with others, doing different age appropriate activities both with and without siblings. There’s no culture being taught.

Chris made a comment the other day about their viewing figures going down when they are on van trips, as it's not everyone's cup of tea. So not only does travelling in the van cost more money than staying at home, but they earn less too. Chris and Sarah are probably hoping that with them staying in a villa/house and flying that their views won't drop and will actually go up and pull in more money, so basically an investment. We will see!
I was astonished by this news. Who doesn’t want to watch a feral family with massive safeguarding issues survive in a metal box, travelling Europe to sit in car parks.

They can be smug as they want but how hot under the collar must they get in the arrivals queue wondering if they'll get past passport control without a tap on the shoulder. It wouldn't be that hard for someone to tip off immigration in say USA, Dubai, Oz, Turkey etc and them place a flag on their computer systems and they know it.

Sarah did explain the foundations of HE very well, I'll give her that. Might have taken her a while, but she has been reading through the FB groups to learn whatever she needed to for the vlog.

But any real home edder would first of all not use the term home schooling. And they'd mention their local HE community and all the weekly groups and meet ups. Talk about trips parents arrange to museums, parks, farms. Talk about one of the most popular online tuition hub that offers lessons you don't see in the curriculum. But she hasn't experienced any of them. Just picked up a few maths English and geography books from WHSmiths

Let's also not forget Jane used to take the girls to school as Lazy was never ready in time. They live in the middle of nowhere now, and not a chance lazy is going to get up and ready to take them to school. What an inconvenience that would be

Lots of groups... That none of the children attend.

Also playing with children at the park or on holiday is nice when your child is 3 /4. But it's in no way comparable to the strong friendship children build with their school friends. The experiences they share together, like school trips, games in the playground, birthday parties school plays and so on, help to form long lasting friendships, and also allow them to deal with a world away from their immediate family (parents / siblings etc)

She said that chuldrun are 'made' to read out loud at school, she didn't like it and neither did Esme. My children have never been made to read aloud and neither was I when I went to school, I remember the teachers asking for a volunteer but they wouldn't have time to 'make' 30+ children read aloud during every lesson.

She says you shouldn't send your children to school for the social side because "90% of the time you're told to shut up and sit in silence", which again didn't happen to me at school nor my children. School obviously isn't a social club but Lazy and Creepy isolate their children so they have no way of socialising anywhere as they only go shopping, run away on holiday or stay imprisoned at home.

She's been reading here by talking about children being individuals and not being put into boxes at school and being expected to do certain things at certain ages. She doesn't treat her children as individuals, all six of them are not going to be better off out of school, some will some won't.

Isabelle isn't boring just because she doesn't go to parties, she's boring because she does absolutely nothing, has no opinion on anything and is treated as one of the children. She's an adult and can do nothing for herself, has to be taken to get a tattoo, hair and brows done and can't just take herself for food, shopping or anything really.

Very few parents regret home education, but a lot of their children do.

I know a lot of children who loved home education when they were primary aged, but the older they got the more they began to resent thier parents for the choice to keep them out school. Being different from your peers is hard, and it's not easy to enter a school system when you've never been a part of it before.

A degree, unless it's in an industry specific field like medicine, law, engineering or Pharmacy is no longer a guarantee of success in the job market.
One of my mates has a PhD in Literature & she's currently working at Tesco. She started on the tills but now they've got her training as a supervisor. There is simply no work in teaching or at least no work which makes it worth doing when she can go in to Tescos, do her job well, get paid, go home and attend to her own writing.

Plenty of people make wonderful lives for themselves wirthout university. Hairdressers, brickies, chippies, sparkies. There are shop assistants and cleaners and lorry drivers with rewarding lives who take pride and satisfaction in their work. In fact I know a fella myself who was a nurse but the grinding down of defunding and overcrowding got to him. He trained to drive lorries when they were crying out there weren't enough after the lockdowns & in the wake of Brexit.

He's clearing £1,000 a week (not £10k a day like Creepy but then his is real money, not monopoly money) He's happy and has far fewer frustrations in his work day. He's adopted a fox at Southport Docks. The little fella knows my mate's truck & runs out to meet him when he's pulled in to unload. His wife & daughter now include treats in his lunchbox specifically for the fox.

The point is the Ingham kids are not being taught anything. They're barely literate those elder 3 and the young ones? God help them. And they are certainly not being shown how to develop a work ethic. They have no peer groups to learn social skills from. It's human bondage is what it is. Monetised - with merch!

The point about the Ingham kids is they're being raised by two ignorant lazy arseholes to be ignorant lazy arseholes.

But if you ask me the only one of their older kids ever had the potential to go on in education was Isla and look what they've done to her.

No it definitely does work like that. I was out nearly all day yesterday so I didn’t pay the mortgage for the hours I wasn’t in 😂

I simply won’t have you slagging off Michael. I’ll have you know that we love him here in his hometown 😂😂😂 Do we duck!! My son was in that club the night he was dancing aboot like a big fanny and he said he was getting pelters of abuse for being a Tory boy but didn’t care one jot how he has wrecked the country.
:ROFLMAO:
He's so slimey. I always feel an urge to throw salt on him.

Plus she would lose her babysitting crew and also she would be home all day with creepy that’s when he is home or not cleaning 🧹
The teens are her friends and only source of company and support.
Also Jace suffers socially he still can't share at age 5 and he thinks everything is for him and he still doesn’t know personal boundaries even those of a baby eg ear pulling.

My son doesn’t drink or go to parties.

he does go to the gym, plays football, has a part time job, on track for high grades, has tickets for a music festival etc.

Theres a few steps between ‘doesn’t party and likes being home’ and ‘unpaid serf to parents‘

Excellent demonstration of 'children are individuals' with creative Esme who doesn't like reading studying the core subjects plus geography and history just like her big sister (who also said that she didn't want to do those options when she was choosing her GCSEs at school).

I skimmed. Was there any mention at all of how they access art, drama, sport, D&T, practical science, etc.? Or is it a wonderful coincidence that she has four children who all don't give a tit about any of that stuff?
