What utter nonsense. Why do you think children have their best friends in schools? Ours certainly didn't, and they went to lots of b'day parties and did everything schoolchildren do. In addition they had so much more freedom, e.g. to travel, because the education via the Internet was delivered wherever we happened to be on the planet.

@Nigel_Farage Teaching our children to dislike or feel indifferent to the nation plays into the hands of the globalists, an ideology to which I would expect many teachers to subscribe.

That is a damning judgement of our political class, and I expect a 'better the devil you know' result. We have no political leader that the electorate would trust or recommend. I wonder if the result would have been different if Rupert had been in the mix, and also if the question had been a simple ranking. It is a bit of a trick question.

@ThePosieParker His behaviour is getting weirder by the day.

@CatharineHoey Money stolen from the poor in the UK and given to the rich and corrupt elsewhere. That is foreign aid for you.

@AmyMek Sverige behöver Reform!

@redheadlass1402 @BellaWallerstei @thetimes Nothing wrong with that insofar no taxpayer money is involved.

Well done, you. I agree with you, and think home-schooling opens so many cultural and other avenues that pupils languishing day in day out in schools, taught by tired teachers, and always made to wait for the most stupid trio in the class, simply do not have. We tried normal schools here in the UK, but soon found that the standard was way below what any normal intelligent family would find acceptable, so after much palaver with nosey officials we switched to home-schooling.

@untoxthis @elonmusk Move to a school for the last two years, to take the IB at 15.

@MinceMan3 @elonmusk I did mention 'smart kids', emphasizing smart, i.e. people good enough to graduate in physics, mathematics and their derivatives such as computer science. How to educate the rest is not something I think about.

Yes, and the truth can only be written in Arabic :-). Looking at parts of the curriculum, I fear I distrust government indoctrination more than parents' indoctrination. Besides, to progress, children still need to pass the usual tests based on the standard curriculum. Home schooling is not home certification.

@AdamJSchwarz Whether or not it would be a violation of anything depends on how the contract is made up.

Low-IQ migration is lose-lose. It is lose for the country they come from, because they are often the best at their (low IQ) level in their underdeveloped home countries; lose for the nation they travel to, because they are too far down the ladder of human evolution to be successful in an advanced country.

@elonmusk That has been tried several timer through out history and normally required a bloody revolution, just to see the old bureaucracy quickly replaced by a new one, with the same singular purpose of perpetuating itself at the cost of the population.

@bosalem1_ Wow, fab! When starting a job like that you being by ordering 10 liters of clear :-).

@SohailSNAhmed Britain offered many underdeveloped places civilisation. Some were, in terms of evolution, able to accept it and improve, others were not. The Empire was great and should be celebrated, perhaps even revived.

@RandyDa25687858 Not paying bills for something you don't demand is called 'tax planning'.

@maxtempers We urgently need a UK DOGE.

@ash_dhd Careful what you wish for ;-)

@policy_uk The 'multiculturalism' attempt has failed completely. The whole idea is mad, unnatural and basically unworkable.
