Is Father Tim Finnigan aware that home schooling is on occasion used as an excuse for not educating children? I know of such a case.
I know someone who is adamant that you shouldn't try to sell your house until you've painted over any green paintwork, because some people are superstitious about the colour green. "Some people" being one of his aunts!

There may well be a handful of cases of homeschooling parents not bothering, but even in those cases, I doubt the children would be any better off school-schooled.

How can a barely educated parent give a child an education of sufficiently high standard to fultil their potential?


I don't think barely educated parents try it.

Do home schooling parents have to notify the authorities they are educating their own child?


As far as I know, the authorities only need to know if the child has been withdrawn from an actual school.

That'll probably change.
