The other night, I asked my youngest child what he thought about his new secondary school. He considered the matter and then said: “It’s not very chilled.”
At first I thought it comic that he expected this expensive, traditional school to be chilled and judged it a failure for not being so. I pointed out that I wasn’t spending £15,000 a year in order for him to learn how to chill, as he appeared to have picked that up already. He looked at me with a puzzled smile.
