It's a boarding school. And then pay the teachers accordingly, and employ pastoral staff to look after the kids. Oh yes, and pay for living quarters too.<br /><br />I mean, it's a model of schooling the public sector has had for over a hundred years (and some schools for much longer). It works for them ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018475.post-10613900007276635592013-07-17T08:57:45.167+01:002013-07-17T08:57:45.167+01:00The government has seen a gap in the market.

The issue might be that too many parents would be more than happy with this proposal to abdicate their responsibilities, whether they work or not. <br />The clamour for child-minding at a younger and younger age is being fulfilled. This is the next logical step.<br />Single parenthood has been a big driver in this.

A generation of sheep will come from such plans, and the family authority, the real core of civilization will decline.<br /><br />Parents need to realize that someone else is inculcating, teaching so-called values to their children in childcare and long school days.<br /><br />But, of course, I was one of those rabid home schooling mums, who decided that it was my responsibility to train, teach and pass on the virtues I had learned to my son. Socialism is very easy to predict.<br /><br />Supertradmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829935047036023159noreply@blogger.com
