I encourage this type of education. Kids need to be held accountable for their actions, just like everyone else.

You can pay for better education ie a private school but it’s very expensive (in our area, about 3-4k a term) and the state schools are almost as good.
Also, we want our child to grow up in the ‘real’ world, in a more diverse environment, worldviews, cultures etc. We could, just about afford to go private with a lot of cutbacks and scrimping… but we’ve thought about it a lot and would prefer he goes state.
They offer both academic and vocational, both the traditional (age 11-16) GCSEs, and the IB, as well as pathways to vocational trades. I know absolutely nothing about the IB side.
Id say probably stick to the local schools and try to get your kid into an erasmus program? You can save up the money you would spend on private and have them travel europe, its a really eye opening experience(i havent done it but have friends who have).
