AMEN indeed lol :D Generally the National Curriculum in the UK is created by people who are very tense and controlling so it naturally results in a overly rigid style of teaching, one that leaves many marginalized. Even though I missed out on a 'mainstream' education and the socialization that goes with it, in retrospect I can see that as a wholly good thing. I am better able to think for myself and be creative. Really the mainstream education is there to create masses of slaves who will accept being on minimum wage working jobs they hate. At least that is my perception.
