    The mistake here is to think that private schools have only recently fallen in with stupid stuff. From the days of Thomas Arnold to now, they've been a haven for crackpot pedagogy.https://twitter.com/jbarro/status/1399038210282512385 …

    Look I basically agree with these parents that these private schools are falling in with some stupid, damaging trends in their teaching. But if you buy a stupid service, whose fault is that?

        Private schools have very few teaching standards, so no surprise.

        You’re not paying for education at private institutions. You’re paying for aspiration and association.

        As someone who went 9 years to a private school, the money and experience spent on them is overrated. Plenty of quackery.

        Teaching prepubescent children about masturbation is not crackpot pedagogy. It’s been done in Sweden for decades, with - from everything I’ve been led to understand - tremendously healthful results.
