I was listening to something the other day, that was questioning following the father who brutally beat and killed his child - it centred around whether schools should monitor all children, so children who are taught at home, have report to a school let's say for sake at least once a month.
The reply was, though that could work with children who were part and part taught, school and home, they didn't think it should apply to home teaching only children and it would cause uproar if that was applied. Uproar, so fooking what, all kids have to abide by teaching, so why not stick another rule in there that anyone taught solely from home has to report into a school every so often.
It's no different for adults that work from home, they have to maybe report into work physically at least once a week or month. They need to stop making excuses and get the points pushed through in law.
You know, in some parts of Europe (dunno about Finland) they do that.
I know people who were taken from parents and I know cases in which the local authorities informed a foreign couple that the food their child is eating is simply appalling, not good enough and they don't care if it's cultural. Improve it or they will take the child. It's super strict. That was a Hindu couple btw.
The UK has always had a problem with this, I remember being in school and seeing kids who were clearly neglected and the teachers didn't give a flying ****. Only cared about GCSE scores.
Was it baby P? Who was beaten to death and social services ignored it. Called out multiple times, did nothing.
