Hello. Hello everybody I had the opportunity today to speak with Catherine Burblesing who has a reputation as being the strictest headmistress in all of Great Britain.

I went to her school, the Michaela school, it's an inner city school in London.

I went there about a year ago and it was really memorable and really quite moving. What she has done with

that school is, well it was it was really something to see those kids were

alert and learning at a rate that I'd never seen in any

educational institution even at the highest levels of graduate seminar let's say.

So that was remarkable to see and the kids were secure and happy there and it's a very

disciplined and structured place and the teachers were as engaged in the educational enterprise

as the children and also the results of her school are

stellar.

She, her students even though they're not selected regularly graduate in the top echelons of the standardized testing

results that are universal across Great Britain and they're much more likely to be admitted to high-level

universities than the graduates of virtually any other school that exists in that country. She's quite the force of nature,

Catherine Burbroughs saying, that's for sure, as well.

So she's a very compelling and interesting person.

And so I think, like seriously more power to her.

Now she invited me to that Michaela school and then took a picture with me and put it on

Twitter and just got more flack for that than you can possibly imagine.

And her response to that was, well, to decide at least in part to speak with me

further on the YouTube channel. So that gives you some insight into just how much force of character she has.

So a remarkable school, truly, you'd be fortunate indeed to have your children attend it and an equally remarkable woman who runs it.

She's like a character in a Harry Potter novel.
