BOJO. The end.

The Labour Party are now looking at replicating the Finnish education system, where basically no-one can pay for education. All children have exactly the same schooling, and apparently it's a world beating educational paradigm...

I was on holiday in Majorca a couple of years ago BT, it was September, we always go during school term to avoid other people's brats ruining the peace and tranquility we search for, so I was a bit disconcerted to find two young girls cavorting in the pool of our expensive hotel. I asked their parents how they had got them off school and was told they didn't go to school, they were educated at home by their mum. Of course this is fine if you can afford to do it, but not many can, does Labour propose to ban this and force every parent to send their child to a state school ? Imo, it's not the business of government to tell parents how and where their children will be educated, and if Labour propose that it's they who decide where your child will be educated, even to the extent of banning home education and forcing parents to send their children to a bog standard comprehensive, then I and millions of others would seriously have to consider voting Tory.

Incidentally, the two girls were a delight to have around and made our holiday even more enjoyable, a credit to their parents.
