Britain's Strictest Headteacher: 'Parent's Need To Take More Responsibility' | This Morning

Ms.Birbalsingh, you are AMAZING! And learning IS fun. It’s just the mindset parents have ~ they think it should be the school’s responsibility entirely to teach life skills besides imparting knowledge. I’ve watched multiple of your interviews and it resonates with me as a parent to take on some responsibility in my child’s learning experience/life. 😊

She is the best head in the world

This lady seems to really care about her kids in her school.

I absolutely love this woman's philosophy. I wish that I could have spent my thirty years of teaching in her school. This should be the standard across the U.S., instead of the decay that we are seeing today. Spread the word about her.
