Agree. Also I don’t know if this is gospel at all as I’m talking about a sample size of one school, but we viewed a prep school recently and I really don’t get the impression that the quality of teaching is any better at private and especially don’t think they can deal with neurodiverse kids either.
The one we went to kept saying how their curriculum (as in its too advanced lol?) isn’t for all children and how if your child struggles they will have an honest conversation with you about how x may not be the school for you. I thought hold on a bleeping second - you’ve got the easiest sample of children to teach - hugely privileged with engaged parents and very unlikely to have any adverse childhood experiences/trauma, plus a huge budget and tiny class sizes and you’re telling me you can’t get every child up to speed? Do you realise what a shocking reflection on your teaching this is?!
I’d be interested to know if any prep / public school alumni have had actual lived experience of this? As I could imagine a child being left at the wayside because of a dyslexia diagnosis hence why she feels she can’t do anything in adulthood…?
I actually feel sorry for her with regards to this tbh.
Also - ick at him wearing Nike trainers in the pic where they're dressed up smartly. Still, much less of an ick than Harry, not that that's difficult!
