    So the UK, like many societies, is struggling post-pandemic to convince a new generation of parents that the state is best qualified to raise and educate their children.

      If I’ve learned anything from COVID it’s that a sizable portion of society are absolute morons. I have zero confidence in their ability to teach anyone anything, esp. abstract concepts.

      The State sucks, but home school is a joke

      Thank you captain obvious.

      Imo, we need to decentralize education. More homeschooling, charter schools, private schools, stuff like that.

        Situated in one of the most deprived areas of Telford, Lantern Academy was known as Queenswood Primary when it was run by the local authority, and rated as “Requires Improvement” by Ofsted. It was renamed to give it a fresh start when it joined a local multi-academy trust, the Learning Community Trust, two years ago
