It is about taking away their choices.<br /><br />Grit I am hoping that the select committee have chosen certain people to give them a good grilling, they must be planning to do this with Bad Man. And thank you for your blog,it is one of the few things at the moment which consistently leaves a smile on my face. No I and I hope we will not be quietened.<br /><br />Kelly thanks again for your support, I will try and get together a list of Newspapers with addresses/emails to write to soon.Mairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00516412983740136098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697346330292757999.post-58944719591288340212009-10-08T16:40:05.999+01:002009-10-08T16:40:05.999+01:00I also sent a letter to the select committee yeste...I also sent a letter to the select committee yesterday, making many of your points, but you did it so much better, Maire. Trying to figure out what I can encourage Canadians and Americans to do to support you. Is there a central government place that one can make complaints to? If we were to send letters to the editor, which papers would you recommend? Is there anything else you can think of that we could do from here?Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10655355287500833547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697346330292757999.post-1429717086288328952009-10-08T12:30:33.773+01:002009-10-08T12:30:33.773+01:00catching up with all of this is hard work but atm ...catching up with all of this is hard work but atm i can truly say i am deeply saddened. i would have wished for a more representative round of speakers. i cannot see it at the committee choice of witnesses, and i wonder what support there exists for the position stated by simon webb. but thank you for your sustained direction over the last few months; i'm sure you won't be quietened by this next turn of events.Grithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14022216340604423686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697346330292757999.post-8348933495022406162009-10-08T10:15:07.405+01:002009-10-08T10:15:07.405+01:00I have emailed the committee to express my concern...I have emailed the committee to express my concerns over their choice of 'Home Educator' witnesses (and included the quote about children with SENs you posted -- not seen that one before). I don't think they could have made a worse choice!<br /><br />I'm not currently home educating -- or, rather, my daughter is nowhere near compulsory age, but I want to have the option of Home Education when she is.Bazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10409599462521095445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697346330292757999.post-90300025705187832382009-10-08T00:48:12.440+01:002009-10-08T00:48:12.440+01:00Glad you like it, I share your distress Tech. emm...Glad you like it, I share your distress Tech. emma you spurred me on and Bruce corrected my typos.Mairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00516412983740136098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697346330292757999.post-28109285554726333722009-10-07T22:47:29.308+01:002009-10-07T22:47:29.308+01:00THank you Maire.
