At a time when education and school choices are under increasing
scrutiny, this topical book considers education more broadly than
ever before. The author, an experienced teacher and researcher,
highlights what happens when parents discover that an alternative
to school education exists and is legal. This under-researched
topic highlights the lack of governmental interest in alternative
education and also considers the human rights issues, conflation
with safeguarding, the relationship of the state to education and
parental education choice. Focusing on the discovery of elective
home education (EHE) in England as a case study for new and
necessary arguments, the ideas discussed are also relevant
internationally. The book considers the global fact of education as
not just mainstream schooling, but how the dominance of schooling
has affected our ability to conceive of education as diverse and
different. This thought-provoking book will appeal to academic,
teaching and policy-making audiences.
