I want a story about a muggle teacher coming to Hogwarts to teach one of the many vital subjects that the school seems to lack (math, English, science). He/she puts a spiral notebook and pens on the class supply list, and pureblood parents have no idea what those are. Lucius Malfoy kicks up a tantrum, but as we all know, Dumbledore does what Dumbledore wants. Lucius eventually gives up because it's just not worth it. They're actually fair and neutral with all the houses, because where they come from, the kind of blatant favoritism displayed in Hogwarts is not acceptable. You could at least be subtle about it. Additionally to that, they do not hesitate to call Snape out (respectfully, of course. Maybe) on his bs. Dumbledore too, but even more respectfully. Because seriously, he's their boss. Whenever a muggleborn - or any other student, for that matter - is being bullied or harassed, the teacher will take care of it. Because the student population of Hogwarts is honestly not big, so unlike at their old school, they are capable of helping most of the students when they need it.m And they're just baffled - and appalled - by how easy it was for a child to fall through the cracks in this school. In a school this size, with classes this small, it should be unthinkable. But it still happens. There are kids - of all blood classes: muggleborn, half-blood, pureblood - with bad home situations, just like in the muggle Britain. Only in Hogwarts, there's no program or position or anything in the school to help them. So they decide to change that. Bit by bit, student by student, they begin to revolutionize the British wizarding education system.

How do wizard children learn to read and write? Because they come to hogwarts knowing how to, but there is never any mention of wizard elementary/ primary schools. And we know that they don't go to muggle primary/elementary schools because Ron and other purebloods don't get muggles technology( like when Ron screams into the phone because he doesn't know how it works)

what school do wizarding children go to before they get to Hogwarts. like the ones that aren't muggle born but have 2 wizard parents. do they go to muggle school until they're old enough for Hogwarts? or do the wizards have their own special wizard primary school?

Witches and Wizards start going to school when they're 11. So how do they learn to read and write? Do their parents have to teach them? What if both of their parents work? Is there some sort of primary school for little wizards, or do they learn by magic? It just seems like a pretty big hole in the wizarding education system.
