On the 8th of December more than 70 MP's took part in a mass presentation of the parliamentary petition asking the government to think again about the proposed bill implementing the recommendations of the Badman review into home education.
The previous record for petitions presented on the same day was 44 and we had over 120. It was also quite something to have so many MP's turn up at the same time. 70 doesn't sound like a lot but it's more than 10% of the members of parliament.
Many thanks to Graham Stuart for organising it.
While this was happening about 70 home educators were holding a candle lit vigil outside.
I managed to collect signatures for 4 different constituencies and met with my MP to discuss home education, the review and the petition.
