In answer to the question "if you are after schooling because the school isn't doing the job why not just homes hook (paraphrased)". The answer is money. I am a single mother who doesn't earn much and am unable to change that due to health and day are issues. If I don't work there is no income (well there is benefit but I would be expected to have the kids in school and look for work full time). My income does not stretch to care now subsidised pre school care has ended and I have no-one who will care for them for free/cheap. The kids go to school so I can work. When they are 14 and allowed to be left by themselves things may be different but that is 7 years away.
