Talk about saying whatever suits your narrative - this is taken verbatim from Chris and Sarah regarding Esme and schooling...
April 28, during a Q&A re a private school question:
"Esme is absolutely thriving, sheβs like a different child, sheβs got masses amounts of confidence, she loves school and sheβs right where she needs to be with her grades and in most things sheβs excelling as well. It is DEFINITELY the best money Iβve ever spent in my entire life."
9 September, during their extended holiday of Europe whilst trying to justify home-schooling:
"The absolute biggest thing for me was Esme. I feel like she struggles in certain areas and I know she got easily distracted in class and found it hard to concentrate. I know that in areas she found a little bit difficult she wouldnβt face that and she was embarrassed to ask for help and so because of that she wasnβt learning at her full potential. She was trying really hard to be at the same level as her peers and because she was doing that she wasnβt taking anything in she was just rushing through everything. So taking the peer pressure out of it... we could go back to basics and not worry about what anyone else thought, she was comfortable in her own home and she wasn't embarrassed if she didn't know an answer or if she got something wrong..."
So from 28 April until now, when Esme has been in lockdown so NOTHING could have changed on the school front between the first gushing report and the latest home-schooling justification, we have literally swung from one end of the pendulum to the other... what a bloody joke.
