    Thank you very much for the presentation and the resource information. The presentation was evident and complete. Unfortunately, the implementation will not be easy. Booth teaching methods, as well as understanding the materials, are not easy to master. There is a chance that by the time we master it, the children will have already graduated.

    Paul, Can you please interview someone from the geography field regarding the magnetic pole reversal. I studied geology for a year during uni (before I switched to economics) and was always fascinated by this. At the time I was not really practicing religion but now I truly think the end times revelations regarding the ‘sun rising from the west’ is connected to the magnetic north reversal approx every 1 million years. The last reversal happened 780,000 years ago. What is interesting is the atmospheric changes incl volcanic eruptions & other changes….

    Geomagnetic reversal concerns the reversal of the magnetic north and south orientations not the geographic poles. So it has nothing to do with the sun rising from the west. It's not the planet that gets turned on its head, just the magnetic orientation, and it happens once in half a million years on average. This is on wikipedia, so it's not hard to figure out.

    Homeschooling is not for most people, I would say. A lot of the time, if not most of the time, both parents have to work to make ends meet, in the West at least. There are many single parents who don't even have a choice. Some are illiterate, and many are simply not educated enough. Many lack the disposition to be good eduactors. (How many have not given up teaching their kids how to drive...) Instead, we should fight for schools being as ''neutral a ground'' as possible. This is absolutely our right as citizens. Reading, writing etc. Values, beyond basic human rights, should be left for the parents.

One of the schools had her 14 year old daughter who was just there as a volunteer teach classes. At another school, a teacher hit her child. I'm sure there are great Islamic schools out there but I've heard so many negative things, possibly because private schools have a more limited budget due to lack of government funding (despite being expensive for parents).

    I appreciate your views but this should not happen in my country the UK. We are trying to build an inclusive society and population, where everyone feels welcome and to achieve this you need a wide range of topics discussed on the school curriculum. Home schooling takes education out of the hands of the state and into the hands of the individual. This means that crucial learning could potentially be missed. How are Muslim children going to be educated about other families? About LGBT? About what to do in the event that they feel that they are gay or transgender and need guidance on the best way to go about transitioning? There is a school in Birmingham that has introduced the ‘No Outsiders’ programme for exactly this reason. Homeschooling should not be advised if we want a world where secularism and liberal values are promoted. Everyone is entitled to an inclusive form of education.
