This article is about a parent who is glad that her youngest child has now finished school, as she felt trapped in the education system having had at least one of her children in school over the past 27 years. I think that the intended audience is other parents who have had children in school for a long time and are bored with it, because I feel like they will be able to empathise with the writer of this article. I know this because she uses satirical phrases like ‘I have done my time’ comparing putting children through the education system with being punished for a crime. The writer wrote this article so that she can openly share her relief with the readers of ‘The Guardian’ but also so that other parents who have or had children in state schools can find collective relief with her. I like this article because the writer takes on a very honest approach and doesn’t hold back her true feelings about the education system, for example describing PTA meetings as ‘Tinder for people who can’t be bothered.’
