###Surprise!

Sweden’s schools minister declares free school ‘system failure’ | Sweden | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/10/swedens-schools-minister-declares-free-school-system-failure

Sweden has declared a “system failure” in the country’s free schools, pledging the biggest shake-up in 30 years and calling into question a model in which profit-making companies run state #education.

I mean, what could possibly go wrong, when you let private companies run state education? Financed by taxes even? So this surprise reminds me of a scene from #Babylon5:

"Daggair! My, what a surprise!"
"A pleasant one?"
"I wouldn't go that far."
