I was just wondering everyone’s opinions on state vs private school? (Not trying to say one is better than the other, just wondered opinions).
I went to a private school in London, and whilst I am extremely grateful for my education, it was an extremely intense experience - my school day was typically 8.15am-4.30pm + 1-2 hours homework Monday to Friday and around 4 hours of homework at the weekends, plus extra curricular activities etc.
We’ve had to put of toddlers names down for the schools already as the admission lists fill up fast, however in doing so, we would have to send them to different schools so I was just wondering peoples opinions as I have no real experience of state schools and whilst I know private schools can afford a wealth of opportunity, I don’t want to discount our local primary school just because it’s not what I did.
So, opinions please!
