Following on from another thread, www.mumsnet.com/Talk/special_needs/1139648-Ooops-made-the-TA-cry, I would be prepared to be Headteacher of a Free School with a curriculum loosely based on the following
"If I ran a school, it'd be full of happy kids who could tie their own ties and shoe laces, budget for and cook for a family of four for a week, change a lightbulb and put up shelves, do martial arts in PE, and sew on buttons/mend rips in clothes. Times tables would be taught for 10 minutes a week, and handwriting would be based on legibility not what some cartoon book says, and geography would involve maps. Science would cover the best way to get your house and clothes clean; IT would be how to not get groomed on facebook; and RE would be replaced with "how to be a good friend and human being"
The government would shut me down in hours."
I already have enough parents who want to send their kids, but need people with the necessary skills to do set up, source funding etc.
Anybody up for a challenge??
