My School Story
**Trigger Warning**
My school experience negatively affected my confidence and choice of relationships until I found a great church at aged 40.
I suffered sexual abuse at first school by a boy the same age, witnessed by playground staff and laughed at by everyone.
Too ashamed to tell my parents meant the head teacher kept me silenced by isolating me to shout at me in the staff room.
I loved to learn so when I was safe at home I’d spend a minimum of 3 hours learning stuff myself every night.
I had no friends throughout my school life, further bullied by pupils and staff for wearing hearing aids.
My school experience meant I suffered abusive relationships into my adult life until I found a beautiful husband, who had overcome his school induced trauma, which was far worse than mine.
Of course, we have agreed to home educate our children without state interference! It is the biggest joy and we spread this joy to others around us.
So grateful that England is at least the best place worldwide for home education.
If this changes, we wouldn’t hesitate to move. We are not to blame for the government not listening.
Are you listening now.

My Home Ed Story
Sadly I wasn’t deregistered as I didn’t know about home Ed. I went to uni and was equally lost there because of my experiences
How I think schools could be better.
Bible, worship, faith in Jesus Christ
It can be a happy place but without God? It’s clearly not working.
No accountability not even for the government or social services or teachers as per my experience
I mean, why can’t it be taught again how to be a good citizen and integrate into society??
