Dozens of MPs lined up in the Commons to deliver petitions from constituents urging the Government not to go ahead with proposals to shake up home education.
Tory Graham Stuart said people from more than 120 constituencies officially opposed the compulsory registration of home educating families in England. The previous record of petitions presented in one day was 44 in 2006, he said.
In June, the Government accepted the findings of a review by Graham Badman which said home educating families should register annually.
The mandatory registration scheme will be administered by councils who will visit parents at home.
Mr Stuart (Beverley and Holderness) told MPs: "If enacted, the Government's proposals will for the first time in our history tear away from parents and give to the state the responsibility for a child's education.
"I'd like to thank the thousands of people who have signed the petitions, the coordinators and organisers and those outside in a candlelight vigil earlier this evening."
He delivered a petition on behalf of his constituents and then other MPs from across the House read out the number of their own constituents who backed the same petition.
Mr Stuart said his constituents were concerned with the report's recommendations, which suggested "closer monitoring of home educators including a compulsory annual registration scheme and right of access to people's homes from local authority officials".
The review had been "extremely rushed, failed to give due consideration of the evidence and failed to ensure that the data it collected was sufficiently robust".
The petition urged Children's Secretary Ed Balls not to enact the proposals and instead ensure that existing home education guidelines to local authorities were properly implemented.
