In France, we bring kids to school to wipe off any love trace since they're 3 year old. It's already not so much left when they're such old. Any kid which will not fit the mould will be considered as bean brain, trouble maker, and likely to become à bank robber (some politics thinks about police file about unsuccessfull schoolboys).
I already feel the emergency to move away and I'm far not rich enough to afford Woodbrook.

Does anybody get a better experience with his country ?

I will never fit this ugly world but I feel less and less bad for that

The school situation in Germany is quite similar to what you discribe and as far as I can see it is this awfull all over the world, isn't it?
I was alway quite desperate that I have to send my 8 year old son to school. Brockwood I also can't afford it, no way. And also I really don't know, if it is still a good school or just expensive? I was thinking about taking my son out of school, but this is not possible in Germany. I was thinking of leaving the country.

All this did not work out yet. So I still send im to school every day and it feels like sending him right to the middle of the open fire. I try to build him a firestable suit. Every day I talk with him about Krishnamurtis words, about life, about all the important questions. I tell him to open his eyes, to observe, to not believe in anybodies words, to be independent from everybody, from the teachers, from me, because we are all blind. For me this is the only way.
Best would be to open a school myself. But I don't know people in Berlin who have ever heard of Krishnamurti, who would join me to open a school.
