I felt a little sorry that economics were being considered before the education of two kids when a school on the west coast of Scotland was to be closed. It cost about £110,000 a year to keep the school open for the two pupils. Ok I can see the economics but some things we just have to stand good for.
But hang on................. a later report reveals that the children are siblings and the headmistress is their mother.
What we really have here is a home schooling situation where the parents are being paid by the education authorities and, presumably, being give accommodation in which to deliver the education.
CALL ME OLD FASHIOINED BUT TEACHERS WERE ONE OF THE PROFESSIONS THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ETHICALLY SOUND AND AN EXAMPLE TO THIER YOUNG CHARGES...IN THIS CASE....QUESTIONABLE!
