Isn't the industrial state school model outdated by at least 50 years? What can't you learn with books, Khan Academy, Youtube, ChatGPT?

Socialization you can get anywhere. From her list:

Forest School, Badminton, Swimming, Football, Gymnastics, Annual membership to Paradise Park, Annual membership to Drusillas Park
