  • Is your kid neurotypical? If so it’s going to be much easier for you to move almost anywhere in the UK.

    If not, and/or if you can afford it, look into smaller private schools with lots of extra curricular activities going on. With the smaller class sizes, education and potential for assimilating with peers will be drastically improved for your kid, and you will have a much easier time meeting other parents and forming a community too.

    Otherwise state schools with lots of arts and sciences funding are probably your best bet, so look into that, find a good one and try to move to their catchment area.

    Also if you or your kid have any mental/health issues, get health insurance. NHS waiting lists are very long and the quality of service is often poor, especially for people in vulnerable situations and for visibly queer/trans/neurodiverse female presenting/bodied folk. Honestly, just get health insurance anyway if you can afford it, it should be cheaper here than in the US at least.

    Disclaimer: I’m neither a parent nor an American in the UK, but I am from here and went to a lot of schools as a kid (moved a lot) and I am queer.







  • Do you think the non-vegans in this thread respect you and like veganism more now after your behaviour here?

    Or do you think that they also think you’re a massive gaping asshole of a vegan?

    Who would consider joining this movement after seeing you trying to be the vegan morality police over a joke you didn’t like made by a fellow vegan?

    The standard for veganism that you’re trying to insist on setting here is socially controlling, demanding, manipulative and just plain unlikable.

    You’re really not helping the vegan cause with this behaviour.
