The parents whose seven home-schooled children have TATTOOS, play with axes, choose their own bedtime and don't sit GCSEs because they're 'just a memory test'

Gemma and Lewis Rawnsley (pictured, with their family), from Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, allow their children to set their own boundaries and 'make their own decisions'. Skye, 13, Finlay, 12, Phoenix, nine, Pearl, eight, Hunter, five, Zephyr, three, and one-year-old Woolf are raised in a household where there are few rules. None of the children go to school, Skye and Finlay were pulled out when they were seven and six, but are taught reading and writing by their parents. Phoenix did not want to learn to read, but eventually decided to because he wanted to send messages to his friends on XBox. Mrs Rawnsley, 35, said: 'We just wing it and go with the flow. If the weather is good we sack it off and go out for the day, if it's raining then it's a good day to stay in and do stuff. There are no boundaries so the kids get on with life and do what they want.'
