DH and I were talking about our DC's school the other day and came to the conclusion that it is at best mediocre and at worst, damaging.
We have one DC who is pretty bright, very sociable and happy who we thought would just love school. She is doing fine but the spark seems to be fading already.
We have another who has dyslexia and still can't read or write independently at 7. His self esteem is low and he is really struggling. Some days he goes off to school without protest but other days we feel really bad about sending him.
The NC topics seems pretty boring (food - health and safety, music - high notes low notes) and the teachers weary.
The school is well regarded and is in an affluent middle class town.
We just hoped it would be so much better than this for them but I don't know whether we are unlucky or expecting too much.
