Any other comments

 

Worst experience l have ever had.  A home educators nightmare. Was pursued relentlessly, as if l were a criminal. Sent in a lot of school work. Which they 'marked' and gave school type ' comments' when they sent it back. Prior, to issuing the LA with any evidence of physical home ed. work, the LA said my child was truanting, even as l tried to explain home education, to their home ed worker. My details were then transferred to a welfare officer. Thankfully, we had linear evidence. The LA victimized and harassed us. Which only stopped when l became a prolific letter writer. Incidentally, not one of my letters was replied to.
