The horrendous case of Sara Sharif rightly raised concerns about the regulation of home schooling in the UK (Judge in Sara Sharif case warns of ‘dangers’ of automatic right to home school children, 17 December). As a 12-year-old home-schooled child, I agree with some of the concerns in Tony Mooney’s letter (25 December) on stricter regulation.
I am fortunate that my home-schooling education has offered me a huge variety of opportunities and permitted me to explore different educational pursuits, which would never have been available at school. However, I realise that in the absence of a good inspection regime, a wide range of practices may occur under the guise of home schooling.
