Get over it, Dave. I have a home-educated daughter, who has chosen to take no school examinations, instead going directly to an Open University course. She has taught herself far more than her 'teachers' ever taught her. She was given a love of learning by her parents...and this was switched off by her teachers.

She rose above it all, worked damned hard and now has the respect of all those have employed her in the past, and now employ her in the present. She was chosen for her National Trust job by a manager who thought she was the right person for it. I call that 'headhunting' because she was in another job at the time, and had not put in for a new job back then.   She was known about, thought emminently suitable for the job and so, was offered it.

You can take the National Trust to court over it, if you so wish, if that will give you some kind of thrill and make you feel like a big chap.

If it irks you deeply that I have wonderful kids, who are thought highly of by other people. Tough shite.

You may 'teach' dyslexic people, but you sure as hell don't understand 'em.
