“Its not only that, I also believe that our children should have the best education possible, that is why I believe that if a family wants to homeschool their children that they be given proper standards to educate them by” she stood firmly, “I also believe that if possible it would be wise to invest in Wizarding Primary schools” she spoke as clearly as possible. Yes she and Miss Culloden had similar ideas but that was expected with parents wasn’t it?
A wonderful question, she supposed it was to a small extent, though for the most part it was only the very base of a much larger topic. Nevertheless, Seren was pleased to listen, a comfortable smile lit up her face as the woman shared her view.
Developing standards, that was the point, was it not? That much she more or less understood, but what she found was that the woman, Tanner wasn't very direct. No policies?
"I see, though I think you misunderstood my question. The standard, what does it look like? What would you expect all children to know before they reach school age?" Curriculum, social skills, behaviour, contextual understanding. Anything? All she got from the initial response was perhaps something mathematical owing to the understanding of Arithmancy, it was a good starting place, but what more?
It was almost a shame she couldn't make out what the others had said, only had one set of ears after all.
