As we pulled into our drive today Davies suddenly said ‘did Granny and Grandad have a sticker in their car with children in a not broken triangle when you were a little girl to show you and Uncle Frazer went to school then?’
I explained that no, they didn’t. He then wanted to know why not and I explained that it was not a regulation that you had a sticker in your car stating the education choice for any contained children within and that ours was an EO sticker advertising Home Education because it is something different to normal. He insisted that it was not and reeled off a list of names of other childen he knows who are Home Educated saying ‘loads of our friends are Home Educated’. I explained that he was the only child at Badgers, Beavers and Swimming lessons that didn’t go to school and it was more than a happy coincidence that everyone at NicCamp, Kessingland and Magical Mondays happened not to go to school. Given the whole Danny and Sandy thing from earlier I think we might just have hit the magical age of worrying about what everyone else is doing…
