RE: Home Schooling UK government inspection, Heres how it went....
I'm a homeschooler too. Nice to meet you!
I'm very, very fortunate here in BC, Canada because I think that we have the best choices for home learning in the world ... you can do as I do and be a "registered" homeschooler with zero government involvement ... or you can "enroll" as a home learner with a school, and get a teacher's oversight usually involving weekly reporting along with some government funds to pay for curriculum and activities.
I used to "enroll" to get the money, but now I "register" as the money just isn't worth the headache in my opinion.
Here's a post I did a while back if you feel like reading it ...

Hi there, nice to meet you also, i just looked at the article and enjoyed it and tried to reply but i couldn't it was about 3 months old. Still i gave it an upvote and thanks for the comment on this one too. In the UK we have been quite relaxed about the homeschooling as it wasn't really done in sufficient strength but i am finding more and more parents are really getting upset with the way they are treated by the schools and have started home schooling as well. I think the government is concerned that they will lose control of portions of community who don't participate and heaven forbid we should think differently about things. And this whole fundamentalist issue has encouraged a watchful eye on those who are taking their kids out. I will have to jump through hoops for a long time yet unfortunately, just not as many as sending them to school......yet.
Even with the hoops, I agree that it would be much better than sitting in a desk at a school for many hours a day.
