My maternal grandparents came from Leeds around 1910, so it's probably changed a bit.

The worst private (read: public) schools in Britain are probably better academically than the best public schools here, but the social problems are probably much the same. You might want to consider homeschooling, which is perfectly legal there.

You'll have to give up some of your EDC, though. And from what I read, there is NO 'Castle Law' of any type there. If someone wants to trash your car or your place, there isn't a thing you can do about it. One of my crews (recent ex-military) said Britain is a criminal's dream because you just have to stand there and take it.
