I don’t have children but if I did I’d do everything to make sure I could keep them with me. The attitude to schooling has gotten quite sinister in my view. Too political. In the UK parents are fined for their children missing school. And they have allowances for sick days that are stricter than any employer I’ve ever worked for. It’s too much of a young persons life, too many hours. I don’t even think the socialisation of hundreds of children forced into the same building together all day is natural. I’m not surprised its popularity is growing here.
Exactly the reasons I don’t want my children in school it has become such a horrible place rather than what it should be. I’d more rather have my children at home and know they are learning in a loving and caring environment suited to their needs and catered to them.
