Parents may be good at determining what is best for their own children but not necessarily for everyone elses. Put a group of parents in a room and I doubt whether any will remotely agree with each other on the best way to deliver education. There are as many points of view as there are London buses depending on personal politics, ambition, and to be honest, prejudices.
So I really don't want the views of a small group of parents deciding the educational path of my children, sorry!

There are very big questions about how any school can deal with the support services needed which are currently supplied by the local authority including support for SEN and that is a current concern of parents when contemplating the free school or academy status.

Anyway, time other people joined this debate!
