Education is about raising the next generation - the difference between what Christians and the secularised state regard as success in this respect is a gaping chasm, which can only become wider in the coming years.

As parents, teachers and educators we all need to reflect on the gifts that each of our children has been given and help them to have a fire in their belly as they develop those gifts and talents in the coming years.

Home education demonstrates that parents and children do not need schools, they do not need trained teachers and they do not need the state.
