hi wayne
hope all well
would appreciate your thoughts and insights

at the beginning of spring we took gwilym our son ages 9 out of school inorder to home educate

the National Education Welfare Board NEWB was contacted by his former school and we were given the how to, on registration to home ed in a letter

we sent notice number one
claiming our rights

they replied thanking us for the letter, quoting acts and informing us on the how to register

we sent notice number2
correcting their mistake ie not a letter but a notice. (very similar to your car notice) and once again claiming our rights

they replied informing us our notice did not meet the needs of welfare education act bla bla

we sent notice number3
they replied teling us the matter would have to be refered to our local ed. welfare officer

we sent notice number4 to the person we had been dealing with all along also to the said local education welfare officer

the latter has returned by registered post our notice
i have not opened it
she has also sent a letter wanting to discuss my concerns (i dont have any that are her business anyway regarding home educating gwilym)

the returned notice!! whats that about


any ideas as to where to go from here

peace
mishel and tim from tang

Hi Wayne, I publish a blog on the developments of the project, started in March, got solar power, gravity fed irrigation and was doing ok till i got wiped out in the Portuguese wild fires of the last few weeks. A tribute to working Zone 1 around the house and buildings I lost nothing of real importance becuase of swales, and good irrigation, the fire just zipped on through and cleared my land but left the infrastructure. I could really do with a few awake and aware people that fancy a couple of months in Portugal learning and doing permaculture. My farm is beautiful but thats in the eye of the beholder at the moment as its black and charred but come september and the rains it will be back. If you meet any like minded, conscious, awake and aware peole at the course send them to my blog. http://permaculturesendaverde.blogspot.com/ Good luck with your course, and maybe ill see you out here one day, Best Fraser

Hey Wayne

I''m in Kinsale too...saw some of your comments and I did the course with Rob Hopkins when he started. You are making an excellent choice and no doubt enjoy the various communities integrating (some not) in and around the town.

Hope you can make Solidarity Bookshop get together when it's organised, possibly this coming weekend...tune in to find out!!

All the best
