Blog for victory! or Your fellow home edders need you but it doesn't have quite the same ring to it! - What are we doing tomorrow?

Blog For Victory!! is a new blogroll intended to celebrate the diversity in home education in the UK and the passion we share for defending it.



If you haven't already done so, please consider signing the petition to the Prime Minister to uphold that parents have the primary responsibility for the upbringing and development of their child. If you are outside the UK there is also a Global Petition to support home educators (homeschoolers) in England.
