Stacey Solomon was furious after appearing on Loose Women this morning

We don’t blame her!

Loose Women presenter Christine Lampard was joined by the lovely Stacey Solomon, Janet Street-Porter and Gloria Hunniford this morning.

And things got a bit heated…

The episode started with a discussion about children and the idea of home schooling.

Stacey spoke about her own experiences, saying that she made the choice to have her sons home schooled because normal school “wasn’t working for her”.

Fair enough.

Janet, however, had a different view, insisting that homeschooled kids live in a “pampered and enclosed world”.

She went on, saying:”Taking your child outside of school is an economic choice that only some people can afford. People might find that their children are at failing schools but they can’t afford to home educate them.”

“What I feel about home education is that it creates a two-tier system and obviously there are some children with special needs whose parents have every good intention about educating them at home because they are not being offered correct schooling under the state system.”

Stacey had her say, too.

The expectant mum said: “They’re not being sheltered from the world – to have one single education for every child can be seen to be sheltering.””What I feel about home education is that it creates a two-tier system and obviously there are some children with special needs whose parents have every good intention about educating them at home because they are not being offered correct schooling under the state system.”What do you reckon?
