If she were an ordinary parent, fine. You want to opt out of the system becasue you can. Good for you. As the ex education minister, responsible for closing down special schools? I don't think so. 9000 special school places have been lost under this goverment under the guise of inclusion. For this reason alone she should have sent her son to a state school. If you close down special schools and you force the public to go throught the state system then you should do the same. My son has autism and I'm currently going to tribunal to get him a specialist place. I totally object to her opting out of a system that she has supported and stood up for. If it's good enough for my son it should be good enough for hers. One disgusted parent I do have a problem with her making that decision. If she were an ordinary parent, fine.
