1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
Transgender care saves lives.

That is a great question. Circle. I think mine is a circle.
We often teach about the Crusades as conflict, but how we teach about peacemaking and coexistence in the Levant?

Pick up the nearest object and your child's whole education can come from that. A rock, Lego brick or tattered teddy, each one can inspire learning. How was it made, from what, where did the parts come from, what is it like there....rabbit holes galore! Home education works.
#EducationOtherwise
Every child deserves unconditional support; never take away their firsts, no matter how long ago we experienced them ourselves as each one is part of wonder.
Home education putting children at the centre, the future is heirs.

Home education; learning with your child. Grandson's subjects of choice are very different to mine but I find myself increasingly able to answer questions about complex scientific points which he has learnt but I never did. That is how home education can work. #EducationOtherwise

Home educating children is often about learning things yourself. it does not require genius to educate, it requires love, commitment and enthusiasm. Any adult who can read (or listen to) and assimilate information can educate. I know. I am that woman.

Please sign this petition. If you believe home education is a problem, ask _why_ children are being home educated. Campaign for better, accessible schools, better SEND provision in an education system shaped by individual need. Make our schools fit for purpose.
