Just that really. I’ve heard so many bad things about state. If you are totally honest, is there violence, disruption etc? What do your kids say about their days? I’m worried about Dd starting school as have no understanding of the state sector (not from the uk) and have read some bleak things about it!

Primary or secondary?

It all depends where you live. I’m in a rural area with amazing schools. I can’t say there’s zero issues at secondary but they are very good here. If you go 30 miles to the city though it’s a different story and I wouldn’t touch those schools with a bargepole.
