The subject of home education brings out incredibly strong reactions in people, dividing them down fiery lines of opinion. After all it is their children’s lives they are debating. Those against it think home educators are putting their child at risk and damaging their future prospects. They are preoccupied with the lack of socialisation, believing it leaves the child unprepared for the real world. Those who are advocates can be almost religious in their passion and devotion to it as a way of learning, believing any parent who does not chose to home educate is being neglectful of their parental responsibilities.
