'Dressed like convicts and graded like eggs'

My ambition 50 years ago was to have a varied career in education, and I'm certainly having one.

As a young teacher, I quickly saw the harm that comes from putting youngsters in uniform and subjecting them to constant testing. There was one child in particular who taught me a lot.

(See The Story of Steven.)

I handed in my stick of chalk, gained a senior lectureship in classroom practice and started writing my numerous books.

Nowadays I'm a keen supporter of home education (a proven success with my resident grandchildren). Workwise, I focus on authorship and private tutoring, helping schooled and home educated pupils alike.

Why not see my qualifications and the books I've written or visit my home education, authorship and tutoring pages?

School and home ed suit different kids, like the two in this photo. They're both full of confidence,

but it's only outside school that either girl can come fully alive.
