More details from petition creator

Throughout the world, independent research bodies have praised homeschooling as one of the best schooling methods, as reflected in the academic and general success of homeschooled pupils. Graham Badman's proposals restrict parents' freedom of choice regarding education and prevent home educators from selecting the teaching methods and curricula that help students learn best.
