My worry with home schooling is that the kids miss out on a lot of the curriculum due to lack of knowledge in some subjects and facilities; your average home lacks science labs. When they're competing in the jobs market against children with 9 GCSEs & 4 A levels they could well be at a disadvantage.
Moreover, I worry for their English skills, could you enlighten the board as to what a "Doktor of Musik" and a "curriculem" are please.

Nice one Andy.We are the poorest members of our church and among the poorest in Delbole.Its how you spend the small income that comes in.We dont have a 4 X 4,Someone brought us a second hand Vauxhaul Zafira as we couldnt all fit in our last car.However we would still make do with that if we hadnt been brought a new car.Also I cycle to work everyday.Keeps me fit and saves a lot of money.We buy second hand clothes and get hand me downs from others who have children and offer us the clothes.We have taken only one holiday at Butlins in the past 5 years,that was only because it was a cheap offer and someone offered to pay half the money.But you are of course right
COMPARED TO THOSE STARVING,HOMELESS,IN SITUATIONS OF WAR,SICK, DYING, UNCARED FOR BY ANYONE,YES WE ARE VERY RICH.Thats why we try to support those who have lost their babies at no cost to anyone but us.We also have supported a priest in India who runs an orphange for hindu children since 1976.When I earned good money I gave at least half of it away to thos in need.And yes I have had to live in absolute poverty and understand deprivation and hunger.It was only for 6 months but it was a real eye -opener.
Thank Andy for judging me and my family without even knowing us.We go without to educate our children.You cant have it both ways.Chris condemms the UNEDUCATED whilst YOU CONDEMM US FOR EDUCATING OUR CHILDRENWe put our money where our mouth is.Bout time that the Labour government did the same instead of driving teachers from the proffesion with all sorts of new rules and regulations.Classroom assistants seem to be taking over from teachers with the current government who care so much about education!

Doktor of Music is of course the Deutsch way to spell Doctor-although I am sure you are aware of this>Are we all in for Deutsch bashing?We get a lot of it from others in our village.You dont have to be coloured to find discrimination and bigotry.If the war hadnt ended 60 years ago it would perhaps be understandable,the hate that many of this country have for Germans so long after the war is amazing.

Why not? Although, I'd prefer it if we could do the Belgians first.
I did a Maitrise de biologie cellulaire et physiologie, option génétique; but I wouldn't expect anyone in Britain to know what that means.

Well Andy, you can be rude as well!
The point is the children DO NOT HAVE TO BE FAT-IT CAN BE PREVENTED.Unless of course one has a medical condition.
With child benefit,Working and child tax credits,who really cant afford to feed their children properly?We are not living in the slums of India.We are living in the UK.How many parents smoke,drink,gamble, attend a football match,buy all the latest brand products-but when it comes to buying healthy food,they havent got a clue.One only has to read labels to see sgar,fat and salt content.If my wife can find time to do it for our children then so can other families.Also if you cut down on sweets & crisps then you can afford some fruit in place of it.Sorry Andy,there really is no excuse for being overweight.My wife lost 25 kilo,which included two bouts of breastfeeding and a pregnancy in it.She came down from size 18/20 to size 8/10.She had to have discipline and self control and to keep that weight she must contnue to watch what she eats.Exercise is also another great way to loose weight.How many children come home from school and sit in front a tv or computer till bedtime?

Kind of 
I did some courses from the Maitrise and worked in a lab for 9 months as part of the 3rd year of my 4 year degree. There'd have been no point in the doing the whole Maitrise as it was the same level as the final year of a British degree. My actual degree is in Molecular Biology & Genetics.

I think you'll find thin and healthy parents buy the best brands in food, smoke, drink and go to sporting events aswell rosenthal. It's not all just overweight people who do these things, sounds like you have real issues with overweight people.

I've been overweight all my life, I've tried upteen diets now I eat well and exercise daily. according to my doctor I'm fit, so there. I'm changing my mind about Rosenthal, the fact that he accepts a car and holidays is not a good example to his children. having 5 children when you can't afford it is also a bad move. I still think educating your children at home is worthy, but you are coming across as judgemental. being a Christian I try hard not to be. Perhaps you should try to get a well paid job, then you would'nt have cry poor all the time. I had many hand me down and second hand clothes growing up in the 50s, I hated it, and so may your children. Do they ever get something brand new?

I am not crying poor.Only answering the questions and accusations some members of this board have made against me.I dont ask anyone to give us anything.If they offer then I have the humility to accept.
I do work and what I do is within the law.We actually save the Government £5000 a year for EACH child we educate at home.
Of course our children get new clothes as well.But it doesnt harm to have second hand clothes that someone has only warn once and cost origionally £20 and I buy for 50p.I have a friend who does car boot sales and she has a friend who really does do that with many of her childrens clothes.So we have had some excellent clothes for cheap which were brought at a fraction of there true cost.
We didnt ask the person to give us the car.I was quite happy to have the old car and cycle as I do.But it does show that God does work in mysterious ways,and I thank Him for the car and the person who gave us it in His name.
Of course it is not always easy to REALLY KNOW the person by message boards.I am sure many of those who attack me are really very nice and I would get on with them well.They may even find that I am not the oga they make me out to be.But that is how message oards are.We only talk a few specialist subjects and do NOT SE THE WHOLE OF THE PERSON.
have a good day all of you.
