    I really resent the fact we have to a home visit from Fern's teacher before she starts school. Nanny state at its worst.

        @bazzacollins media calls professionals to account when children are neglected or abused. Where exactly should that line be drawn?

        @Sweder I take your point but I've been allowed to have children without supervision for the past five years. Why now?

        @bazzacollins @Sweder It's just the school ensuring it can do what it can to ensure she's comfortable in her new environment.

        @Gingeraction @Sweder I'm absolutely fine with meeting teachers, with or without Fern. The home visit makes me feel like I'm being vetted.

        @bazzacollins @Sweder Maybe there is an element of that but maybe they have a better idea of the kids seeing them in their home environment

        @Gingeraction @Sweder I can see both sides. My partner, who's a teacher, is v much in favour. It still feels like an intrusion to me.

        @bazzacollins @Gingeraction Mrs H is a community nursery nurse, visits many kids/ parents at home. She sees both sides.

        @bazzacollins We turned the home visit down last Sep., feeling it was invasive. They were fine with it.

        @bazzacollins On public evidence you're a good parent. Sadly many are not. Where does society take an interest?
