... today a group of school kids, dressed in the uniform of a local school, the Priory, stuffed an abandoned car just up the road from us full of paper and set light to it - trying to set fire to the sub station that it was next to.
Charming.
Did they learn this anti-social behaviour in school? At home? Whose "fault" is this?
All I know is that, by being home educated, my kids are surrounded by other kids who do not see such behaviour as cool, clever, a way to get attention, or a good way to stop feeling bored.

There must be some reason these kids do this and I would agree my children don't feel the need to join in with their peers if it doesn't feel rigt to them
Quite!
re: anti-social school children...it's hard not to strive to simply keep out their way and as a rule we are lucky enough to be able to do this.
The closest we have come to this sort of problem recently - in London on the buses...something that has been reported as a problem on the Beeb this am.
We only travelled on the buses a couple of times on our most recent visit to London, but both our journeys coincided with the school leaving time. The bus was packed with school children - no seats available for anyone else, not even a very elderly person or a mum with a babe in arms.
There was a constant flow of unpleasant and threatening language, albeit directed at each other, but I still resented the fact that my children had to listen to it.
Worse by far, the school pupils made it completely impossible for a mum with 3 young children, one in arms and the other 2 under 5, to get off the bus. She missed her stop and had to walk a long way back, having been terrified that she would lose her balance, hurt her own kids, lose her possessions.
And we are supposed to want to use use public transport!
Hi, I drop into your blog from time to time and always enjoy reading it (I was home educated myself, but am now out in the wonderful world of work...) thought I would leave a comment to let you know that I've added a link to your page on mine, if that's not ok let me know and I'll take it down.
I know .... similar sort of thing happens here.
Home ed is definitely the way to go!
