Number of children taught at home in UK soars


THE number of children taught at home has almost doubled in the past five years, a trend that experts say reflects a crisis of confidence in the state school system.
Government figures show the number of five to 16-year-olds educated at home jumped from 12,000 in 1999 to 21,000 last year. The increasing number of parents opting out of the school system reflects a similar trend in the United States, where one in 20 children is now taught at home.


Though children have to be educated, there is no legal requirement in Britain for them to attend school. The progress of children at home may be monitored at intervals by the local education authority.


Home teaching groups claim the number taught at home could soar to 150,000 by 2015, equivalent to one child in 30.


Mike Fortune-Wood, of Home Education UK, a website that provides advice on home schooling, said there was a “quiet revolution” going on. “People find that at home they can provide their children with an education far better suited to their individual needs,” he said.

How do you get Whites to vacate the schools?
Bring in niggers.

How do you get Whites to abandon neighborhoods?
Bring in niggers.

How do you get Whites to flee the cities?
Bring in niggers.

How do you destroy a White country?
Bring in niggers.

Does anyone see a pattern here?

The homeschooled White children will be better educated, despite the lack of access to the educational infrastructure that they paid for with their taxes, than the niggers who were permitted to appropriate these benefits.

The quality of the hominid is more important than the quality of the environment. Cue E. Dee.

I like how they refer to it as a crisis. It's only a crisis from the perspective of the illegitimate tyrant commie state.
