Couldn’t agree more and, as a not-yet parent, this leaves me feeling a bit helpless! What’s the alternative? My sense is that, like most things, the education of our children needs to be the responsibility of local community (ie parents/friends/family), not outsourced to strangers/systems at the mercy of politics and standardisation. And this would require that parents don’t have to work the hours they currently do to support their families… tricky!
