Hi :-) Im thinking about keeping my daughter at home to educate her (shes only 22 months old at moment though) because I feel that the state system teaches to the lowest common denominator and that in Britain, govenrment interference has caused education to become more like indoctrination. I know teachers do an exceptional job, so its not them Im worried about (my mother in law is a teacher and my sister is in teacher training) its the system...
What are other people's opinions? My family think I'm mad because I'm 23 and they think I don't know what Im talking about but I really don't believe in a system where teachers don't like to praise a child for doing well academically in case it upsets a less able child (Unfortunately, several different teachers told me that...)
