It's a little convenient, for some, to now suddenly put so much store in the results of an OFSTED report.

Unfortunately life & death have a habit of not working to a convenient timetable to suit a parents idea of what a child is ready for. Many parents expect the teacher to teach children about life & death as it may not be something they are likely to have to deal with at a convenient time. Let alone something they may feel comfortable discussing or explaining to their children in the first place. Ignorance is not bliss.
