I don't know what French schools are like, but based on the poor excuse for education in this country......we are out of here. I have two children 11 and 13 years. The younger is still in Primary and is doing ok this year. Last year she had 6 different teachers because the school didn't have enough staff. This year she has, by far, the best teacher in the school and we consider ourselves very lucky. My son is dyslexic. He gets no help from school at all. They tell him that he is stupid. His English teacher told him he had no chance of climbing to the next English set because he is stupid. It is a big school and they only have time for the better students. Why? So that they can meet the governments targets etc etc. It's a shambles. My fear is that our move is delayed even longer and my daughter ends up being dragged down by this establishment. This is one of the best schools in Surrey! Last term my son's tutor called and told me that it was probably my fault that he is the way he is because I work full time! I know it's not ideal, but you know trainers at GBP60 a pair, mobile phones...all wants but not gots....cost money, along with the 'everyday requirements'. I really hope that we will soon be able to leave this materialistic rat race and start living a life. From this I hope that the children will get a more rounded view of life and not have to rely solely on these Government Robots!
