It's quite unfortunate IMHO if this is what you were led to believe. The problem with UK schools is not about immigration or refugees.


It's about systematic underfunding and poor management of central and local administrative systems.


Even without immigration/refugees, many school districts (London boroughs in particular) would be having problems with delivering enough student places. This is a complex problem, but the system is not being overwhelmed by immigrants/refugees. It's being underfunded by idiots. *Some* people might even speculate it's being purposefully undermined in order to force privatisation by the back door.


The UK is a wealthy country that could easily cope with refugees if schools were managed better. We're not being overwhelmed by folks moving to the UK. We're being undermined by homegrown numpties.


...speaking as someone with extensive experience of both US and UK education.


I do hope you find a solution. There seem to be many good homeschooling groups in South London, if that's the direction you end up taking. xx

Not just by Labour. All parties have been guilty of this, of using education and immigration as political footballs. Considering the times we live in, I personally find blaming education failings on refugees/immigrants to be one of the ugliest and yet understated examples of xenophobia.


I hope the OP has found a solution for her daughter's education. Unfortunately bigotry isn't something that can be altogether avoided, regardless of how you school your children, home, state, etc. But it is something we can all teach our children... to examine their own beliefs and challenge prejudice. xx

Kristina I suggest if you want to keep stuff private then you keep it off a public forum. Or you're saying you have a problem with people with mental health issues reading public posts on a public forum? It sounds suspiciously like you're using a public post to air a personal drama...

    • If you’ve got four quid spare, go and try one. Myself, I like the mozzarella and spinach, but there’s no accounting.
    • More of a Steak Bake kinda thing, then.
    • You might want to try the Peckham Facebook community group. I am located in East Dulwich & have 2 well-used scratchers: A large single post (ideal for an adult cat) & a small cat tree with 2 short posts (ideal for kittens) While the wear & tear is nowhere near as bad as the one shown in the link below, ideally the sisal should be replaced to get the best use out of it (& neutralise the scent of another cat) hence why I haven't donated these to a shelter. You may find this link helpful: https://thegreenmadhouse.com/diy/how-to-repair-your-cat-scratcher But you can just get a brand new one between £10-£30 on Amazon that'll last much longer. It all depends on what type of scratcher you're looking for; material, size, vertical or horizontal. Your little lion will let you know by whether they're currently scratching down or up, like a mat or armchair for example. More than happy to send location & leave in front garden for pickup.
    • Would happily take it off your hands! Preferably in Peckham. Thanks 🙏🏻
