Last week, it was 500 failing secondary schools; now the ptb in the Commons Public Accounts Committee are saying that 1,557 schools are doing badly "despite £837m spent on raising achievement." That apparently translates into nearly one million children who attend poorly performing schools.
"Committee chairman, Conservative MP Edward Leigh, said: "To waste so much human potential in this way is a tragedy. "
Yup, but with some of our local private schools now charging £25,000 per annum, and even then not necessarily suiting one's child, the only answer seems to be to home educate if you possibly can.

sounds like a lovely day! Would make an interesting contrast to hear what one of your day's was like at your son's and daughter's age...
