    Agreed. There was quite a lot of pushback, the moment you're considering giving a child a drug they don't need and which could harm them alarms bells need to be ringing. It hasn't gone ahead but it isn't off the table.

    There are a lot of drugs which aren't licensed for use in children but which are not uncommonly used. The main issue being that you can't really test the drugs on children so you can't pass the licensing gateways and it ends up in the hands of clinicians (with the guidance of the BNF) to decide whether to give the unlicensed drugs, eventually it just becomes accepted practice but it does seem odd and you can guarantee that if there's a problem the drug companies will highlight they never said it could be used with children.

    I think - and someone here may know this much better than myself - they do allow more testing on children in America (they basically use the proles who can't afford medical insurance as guinea pigs for new drugs) and it's why we often hear about drugs used to treat children in America which we can't use over here - because we're horrible and less willing to test on the expendable kids.

    This story is old but still accurate to my knowledge. They're scare-mongering in it but the alternative is testing on children and they'd be scaremongering about that too!

    Individual item limit is £5000. So get your mate in antiques to invoice you for two chairs at £5000 each.

    BTW this £10,000 budget is in addition to the £26,000 office budget they already have.

    Depends very much on why people are home-schooling and who they are with. We get a mixed-bag but overall I'd say the average literacy and numeracy is lower than if they'd been in school. For every well-meaning parent(s) who are at home with their kids and spending time with them in a way that a teacher simply cannot there's two or three kids who get left to their own devices far more or who have a very patchy education to say the least. Most people teach what they're most comfortable with and try to imagine the rest does't really exist. The most extreme i had was a girl who joined in year 10 (she was actually 16 but has entered the year below) and early on in the first lesson I taught her i asked her to divide 40 by 10. When she didn't know i asked her to just count up in 10's and she said "I'm not so good on my 10's"... I'd put that down as child-abuse personally.

    yeah depends on the parents totally>>>>>>>most of the dysfunctional parents have been products of the education system in the first place and would have no intention of home schooling......the educated parents like the ones i know who have home schooled thy children are way above the state schools.

    fk knows what its like in cities but where i live it works they are also less likely 2 go down the drink drug route...........that from my own experience and cannot speak for anyone else`s views which could also be correct but polar opposite at the same time.

    myself i fking hated school and all the ****s in there bored the living death out of me/i did enjoy history mind for some reason........so my education started when i left.........early <laugh>

    ... a unique, if somewhat maverick, interplay of tenses ... tell me, were you perchance home schooled? ... if so, I may have identified a flaw in your assertion <laugh>

    Academic performance is mostly linked to social background and if people are home schooling because they are well off and can afford to spend the time doing it properly then they'll do well but I'd suggest they'd have done well in school too as that describes most of our best pupils. Those who "home school" because they had a bad time at school themselves and tell their kids it's not worth it (whilst usually getting their kids to look after their other kids in my experience) tend to end up with adults who aren't in a fit state to do much productive at the end of it.

    There's also an important side issue. Education is changing quite a bit, anyone who wanted to home school now would have to make sure they weren't just teaching their kids what they learned in school as the skill-set needed in the work place in 10 years time is very different to what was needed 15 years ago. Whether schools have adapted well enough to accommodate for that themselves is pretty debatable too though in fairness.

    ps. Nothing wrong with leaving school early, I think there's too much stigma on it in this country. Some jobs you'd be better off getting into in your teens rather than being stuck in a room. Some jobs are pretty important to not be learning on the job though and need longer in education; just horses for courses.

    As I said before, i disagree with most of what the guy says but free speech, so long as it isn't hate speech, I'll always back.

    Only he’s not been banned from various platforms of late to deny his free speech. He’s been chatting bobbins on YouTube for years untouched. He’s been banned for spreading baseless and dangerous misinformation about COVID-19, something that all the major platforms said they’d not allow during this pandemic.
