I don't know anyone who is home schooled, it is pratically impossible to do in England as you need to have the council say its ok, and check on ur progress. Some of my friends were homeschooled if they were too ill, but they all had tuitors that the council hired for them. Everyone goes to school weather its right for them or not. I am glad i went to a state school, cause my parents couldn't have got me this far in my education alone. Plus all 7, 11 and 16 year olds in the UK have to do national exams, so you can't really work from home. Also you need A level grades to get into university (2 exams ages 17 and 18), which you definatly couldnt learn how to do without a qualified teacher. The are VERY hard, and it takes a real knack to learn how to answer the questions. So people who want to go into further education can not be home schooled.
