Did Steve say Chloe has scratches on her face and Lacey said “from the dog”??? That’s really concerning they’ve let one of the dogs scratch her FACE. I have a dog who can get terroritial but worst he’s done is scratch our arm I’d never let my dog near an adult let alone a child in a wound up state especially let them scratch someone’s FACE. I’m actually quite shocked about it.

He's started to 'clap back' in the comments recently but him sarcastically calling himself 'lazy' and 'sorry for not being perfect' doesn't work when he is lazy and is failing his children and dogs. There's a difference between maybe not walking the dog on a day where its thundering and raining and just not walking the dogs at all because you haven't trained them to know how to act in public. There is a difference between giving your child a more relaxed activity on a friday afternoon and giving her games and basic worksheets everyday because its easier to pretend she's thick rather than teaching her properly like you agreed to do when you took her out of mainsteam school.

👏👏👏👏👏👏 this post says it all really
 
It’s an absolute Joke what he calls “education” these days. Lacey completed that puzzle in around 2 hours or less it seems, yet he didn’t expect her to even complete it in one day?! It’s insulting to Lacey that he thinks she’s so incapable. The reality is, I don’t think she’s incapable at all, Steve’s just out of his depth at home educating her so it’s easier to say she “doesn’t understand”, “she struggles to learn” etc and keep her at a ridiculously low level of drawing pictures and making crispy cakes.

There’s plenty examples that Lacey can learn. She’s learned to read, write, communicate, aware of dangers, can take care of herself in terms of washing/dressing. She may be autistic but she’s clearly high functioning. It’s hard to say too much on it without sounding like saying high functioning isn’t that bad - I know that’s not the case at all. Autism is autism no matter what level, but they need to focus on what she can do and prepare her for a life of independence. She’s not so severely autistic she can’t do anything for herself. She gets left home without adult supervision and can go to the shops without an adult (I wouldn’t class Sophie as an adult, I know Lacey wouldn’t do these things alone, but that seems more about anxiety/having company). They need to stop making out she’s worse than she is.

The reason she’s probably not learning at the moment is because nobody is teaching her anything. Everyday is just worksheets and essentially like doing a quiz every day. What a wasted opportunity. Home Ed is fun and she’s stuck sitting at a desk on her own answering times tables questions every day. He needs to join some groups and get some ideas.

Couldn't agree more with everything you've said.
The trouble with Steve is that I don't think he's bright enough to take this on by himself, but he can't see it. It's not a nice thing to say and I'm not proud of pointing it out. I don't say it to be mean but it's really not within his remit.
 
Does Steve not remember the complex big lego kits they were buying Lacey which she seemed to complete at the click of the fingers? But apparently he’s implying she wouldn’t be bright enough to complete a little puzzle in a day? He’s trying to keep her uneducated because like we can all see, he doesn’t have the capability or intelligence to help her learn anything more because he doesn’t know it himself. He gives her a work sheet and then sunbathes. That’s his level of capability.
 
She could've been thriving at the specialist school as we speak but they'd never get her out the front door now that they've given her a taste of home 'school'. Taking her out of school altogether should've been the step they took after giving the new school a go but a few extra minutes in the car was too much for the stay at home dad who doesn't have any kids at home anymore to look after.

Exactly the older kids are able to walk to school. He needs to not be so precious some kids younger than them are getting trains and buses to school. Lacey has taken 100 steps back . Maybe her anxiety is better for now as they dont leave the house. That’s great if all she wants is a life without friends and a job. How they have failed her .
 
Hey guys, i’m new to this forum and i like to say hello, i’ve been watching Steve’s videos for the past few weeks, and what concerns me the most is Laceys eduction.
I can understand that she has anxiety and autism, but the homeschooling is definitely not helping her and i think Steve has a lack of knowledge when it comes to homeschooling.
In the recent video from today, she is doing times tables and tomorrow she’s supposed to be doing a spelling test, for me this is pretty much something you would of in primary school and not secondary school.
She can’t just be learning just maths and english when there’s other lessons like: Geography, history and ICT etc, and going to the shop on wednesday is pretty much like a day off, but apparently steve says it benefits her maths, even though this is very basic and she would have already done that many times.
For me, Lacey should go to a special education school, since she will not only get a better education but will help socialise herself with other people with special needs.
But for me i think it’s a lazy attempt from Steve just to stay at home and homeschool her, and i’ve seen most posts on here about her being homeschooled and i pretty much agree with them.
