EDUCATION OTHERWISE

EO runs two email lists with Yahoo Groups. One is for general discussion about home education and would normally be the first port of call for someone seeking advice and peer support. It is open to anyone who has an interest in home education and is not restricted. Education Otherwise supports parents and carers whatever style of home education they adopt provided it is within the law. Home vs school debates are discouraged.

The second list is the same as the general list but is for single parents who, although having many of the same problems as two parent families, often have additional and unique problems relevant to their situations.

There is a Members Area with discussion forums for members of Education Otherwise. Details for accessing the Members Area can be found in the newsletter or by emailing

To join the EO general discussion list, please use this box; open to all after a brief introduction sent to list owners.

Insert your email address to join the EO Single Parent list. This list is open to non-members of Education Otherwise as well as members.
