That's year 5 or 6. Not shocked since he sounds confused & dumb most of the time. But how do you drop out of school when you're from a stable family and didn't get kicked out?

- -I hear'd he was hatched wif U in the same nest.

What's up wif that?

hardly any travellers finish school, pressure to get out there and bring in some cash, robbin or legit many dont care

i can imagine trying to teach a class full of teen travellers, oh the joy of it, the drama would be off the charts

Naw. It's perfectly legal to educate your kids at home, the law simply requires that they have an education.. There's considerable pressure on parents to enroll their kids in the school system and some very good reasons to do so in terms of socialisation and obtaining formal qualifications, but it ain't a requirement at all. Been looking into it at quite seriously due to the ever increasing commercialisation and focus on metrics in England. Got a few friends in teaching given up in disgust or moved abroad to teach.

What do you mean "naw"? everything you said is just the law...... the law is not applied across the entire populace equally.

Travellers 30-20 years ago were not prosecuted if their kids never went to school, and they still are not, many do not even have birth certificates or are registered, most live off the system.

What are you arguing? against the facts I am spewing? come at me with travellers and their attendance in public schools, and if they are prosecuted for lack of attendance........ if you can't provide that, take the massive L and accept I am talking facts.

The socialisation argument is maybe the strongest argument there is to sending kids to school IMO even if you're capable of teaching 'em the academic stuff yourself. It's vital for 'em to learn how to operate within groups of their peers, make friendships, have their first flings with the opposite sex, so on. In some ways even more important than the academic stuff.

Could be there's a little less need for than in traveller society though, if enough of the kids are staying off school then you can still get the socialisation anyway, but it doesn't help to promote integration with broader society. Probably the opposite in fact, which is maybe how the traditionalists prefer it.

Exactly.

Those school grounds develop children 'There are many things happening inside of a school, that WILL happen in the real world but more intensely. You will encounter people who like you, dislike you, you will form relationships 'And maybe even have disputes, THAT you have to deal with' It may not be easy, but in my opinion it is necessary.

In some ways being exposed to that type of environment forges you as a person 'But kids these days are under more and more restriction, especially even if they go to school' locks on classroom doors, and unable to venture outside at dinner time etc

Naw as in 'No its not compulsary for your kids to go to school' as you stated. I was merely correcting you on that very specific point of fact. Wind it in buddy, I've even provided the link to the government website at least twice on this thread.
Parents can be prosecuted if they've agreed to send their kids to school then don't, or if they've chosen to educate em at home but then are deemed to be failing to do so, but not for simply choosing to educate em at home.

You need to provide proof that your kids are being educated to avoid that law....... make no mistake though, you will be prosecuted if you do not prove your kids are being home-educated or they are truanting school.

Obviously, I pointed to the law and then I also highlighted how it is applied..... a law does not mean **** if it is not applied, which it is not in most cases.

If he did or didn't, it makes not much difference as common sense often out weighs education. he's forged a good path for himself. Quite impressive really !

Well no doubt, and the stringency with which the local authorities apply the rules will vary both from area to area and depending on such factors as parental income and ethnicity.. So yeah, a traveller kid who's living in a caravan is far more likely to get investigated closely than say a kid living in a wealthy Cambridge suburb who's also being home schooled by precious parents worried about the other kids being mean to em. Fact I could even say that the education system has become a social tool to try to enforce integration to an extent - Ive got numerous friends in the new age travelling community who are going through this kinda ish too.

Still aint compulsory to send em to school though, that was my only point.

"a traveller kid who's living in a caravan is far more likely to get investigated closely than say a kid living in a wealthy Cambridge suburb"

That is the opposite of what I am saying..... the law is not applied to traveller sites, they just leae them be...... someone living in a rich suburb will likely put them in a school, and then the school and govt fine them if the go truant.
