This is a talk from ResearchEd National in 2023 - an intro to the world of home education, what we do know, and what - in my view - would be interesting to find out. If you are like me and prefer to read (and skim if need be!), here you go: learnwhatyoulive.substack.com/p/home-educa...

Imo the main reason #edutwitter hasn't moved here is because the DfE, Ofsted and other government departments don't see it as a useful form of communication with people who work in public services. It's a blank spot in their ability to understand the situation and personally I think it's a shame.

When I first got into research-informed practice, I was starry-eyed at its potential. Now, it's just a complete mess of egos and dogma. Completely disillusioned by the general atmosphere if it.

What a cesspool of a society we have made for ourselves. And now we have to watch the worst of humanity stir that cesspool, allowing the most rancid of faecal humanity to rise to the top. What have we done?
