*used to convey meaning on a public forum rather than any form of disrespect, I consider myself to have some of these elements in certain aspects of my life
OK, we are unsure of what to do with our child's (now 2 1/2) education from next year.
The options are as above, but if the latter option to move him to that private school prior to 11+, as we have good selective state schools here. Obviously I understand all children are different, not all private schools are good etc. etc.
Is the education at reception really education, or just fun playtime which could be done equally well at the 'hippy' school? Will moving schools be problematic (I moved school aged 7 and it didn't affect me at all).
i.e. is it worth spending lots of money for a prolonged playtime, or does structured stuff give long term benefits?
I'm happy to name schools if allowed and no threat of retaliation etc.
Many thanks for any advice.
