@GaryPello@CharlesHThyme Unfortunately we wonโt know the strain until it happens, which if it does will be bad all round and too late for those affected. We certainly havenโt seen the increase in teachers that was promised. Sad for the children. Theyโre the ones that lose out after all. ๐ข
@GaryPello@CharlesHThyme That would still mean the money the government hoped for from VAT isnโt going to go to state schools. Which is why they said they wee doing it. Either way it feels like everyone loses out ๐ข
@tinned_toms@CharlesHThyme Yes the graph should not be split really. However the numbers are still 4 x higher than the government said they would be! Each one of those numbers is a child with their own story ๐ข
@GaryPello@CharlesHThyme Isnโt this the total number of pupils in independent schools? And so if this number has fallen and itโs a total number then that rules out pupils going from one independent school to another ? If they went to another independent school the total would stay the same wouldnโt it?
