Education There Needs To Be An Alternative
Today I read this article about education in the UK
Living on the continent and not on the island, I get to meet a lot of expatriates from England who are more than happy to be living away from England.
England is just an expensive place to live and the salaries that people make in England don't cover the cost of living.
Educating your children is one expense but eating and living in England is a big expense and not just for students.
what alternatives do the English have? I really like the Open University system.. if the biggest expense for attending a private school is the boarding expense then maybe the students would be able to attend on a virtual campus so that that major expense may be eliminated. Maybe cluster the students in areas where they live so that they have a bit of a social life... One of the reason to go to a private school would be the contacts created... this benefit would be lost if you are going to a virtual campus... I guess...
All right, my Saturday rambling is over... I am supposed to post three times a week but that is not so easy when you are on vacation... I will try to put four posts up next week for you.. now that I am on my semi vacation (which means I am working in a vacation spot.. sunny France)
