In this episode, Djamila le Pair interviews South African-born Heidi Botha and her daughter Ilene, who live in the beautiful countryside of West-Berkshire, United Kingdom, where the two mothers met almost two decades ago. While still living in South Africa, Heidi already intended to home educate her two children, but when the young family moved to the U.K. and a new social network needed to be built, she decided to send her son Rowan to school, after all, so that he, at least, would meet playmates. Several months went by during which Heidi watched Rowan becoming increasingly unhappy and frustrated. She took him out and after several months of free play and fun activities, Heidi started home educating her two children through the rest of their school years. Ilene, studying to be a dental nurse, now looks back on many happy years in which she learned to question things, find answers herself and apply acquired knowledge instantly to everyday life. Learning many practical skills from their father, Leslie, too, Rowan and Ilene were involved in changing tires, sailing and building sheds, for example. Everything around them provided a learning experience and still does. For the Botha family, life is a journey of continuous, applied learning, nurturing resilience, self-esteem and resourcefulness. One’s own curiosity should never be stifled! on Potkaars: https://potkaars.nl/blog/2023/4/4/you-want-to-have-confident-children-who-arent-afraid-home-schooling-pt-3-heidi-and-ilene-botha

Jurist Jeroen Pols van Viruswaarheid legt aan Rico Brouwer van Potkaars uit wat er in het vonnis staat van het kort geding dat hij met Willem Engel had aangespannen tegen de Staat. De rechter heeft Pols cs. in het ongelijk gesteld, maar hoe kan dat nou als de PCR test volgens de bijsluiter niet gebruikt mag worden als diagnostisch instrument? Aan de hand van citaten uit het vonnis reageert Pols op de argumentatie van de rechter in dit vonnis en vertelt hij wat vervolgstappen zijn.
