I thought they were getting eleventy billion from the VAT?

This is literally why a lot of parents of SEND kids sent them to private schoo while working their arses off and making sacrifices.

Doesn’t seem a great solution that 1 in 5 children, and rising, has to go to private school. Although the stats don’t seem to back that up. The percentage of SEND kids in public and private education seems to be roughly the same.

And I’m sure the parents of non-SEND kids aren’t going to be too happy if they’re paying a small fortune for private education and having a huge percentage of classes being SEND kids.

Unless you’re suggesting some sort of segregation and all the SEND kids being sent off on their own which surely then worsens their prospects of being able to cope when they enter the workplace.

I would have panic attacks the morning of exams I feared them that much.

I know a few parents who did it for that reason so I can comment. That's all.
