Wanted to slot this in between blog posts about the Open Eye conference as it is so relevant to bringing up children in this day and age. From the campaign against the commercialisation of childhood. You can find the other six parts of this excellent film on You Tube.

One response to this post.

More About Me

My name is Frances Laing. I'm a writer, blogger and journalist. I'm also the mother of one child now aged six. This blog started with an analysis of the English Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum. The (EYFS) is a compulsory curriculum for children from birth to five. The compulsory nature of the EYFS means it's the first time the government has imposed such an extensive compulsory legal framework on early years settings. We were the first parents in the U.K. to our knowledge to have requested a parental exemption from the EYFS statutory Learning and Development Requirements on "moral, educational, religious, philosophical,ethical and political" grounds in a state-funded school. It was refused. The process, together with much of the paperwork has been published on this blog. You can find it by selecting the 'documenting the exemption process' category in the archive. Under the Data Protection Act - parents have the right to view their child's records at school or nursery. This blog charts our progress and provides information about how and why the Early Years Foundation framework exists and the wider context: the government's increasingly devastating bureaucratic stranglehold on our children's futures. Join in the debate. Look for the 'leave your comments' link in bold which you will find at the beginning of each post.
