Yeah I use imgur, which I've heard is somehow blocked in the UK. The US should work. Maybe I'll try to figure out fallback images and double-host on github, if that's a thing.
School rarely helps with learning and almost always harms learning. If you're still sending your kids to school, be mindful that you're doing that for reasons other than to help them learn.
That is a bold claim. In my experience school gave me exposure to subjects I would not have thought or been interested to explore on my own, and put structure around dedicated learning time.
I have kids. I send them to school. They are learning!
You might have a leg to stand on if your argument weren't so incredibly absolutist. I could certainly concede that American schools may be a less than optimal way to learn with some outmoded practices. There are certainly variances in educational quality.
But school rarely helps with learning? School almost always harms learning? I reject those claims as false on their face.
It rarely helps with learning vs. natural counterfactuals. It harms by socializing kids to not believe that their own curiosity is hopeworthy.

Instead of inefficient spending for large, programmed classes, you should have daycare/day supervision with lots of resources (books, internet, age-appropriate tinker equipment like electronics and tools and so on, microscopes, telescopes, a few adults on hand who are experts in whatever topic to help kids get traction / navigate), more free-rangness, less authoritarianness, more mastery learning, more apprenticeship.
I had a math question that had some free parameters, making it a sort of question machine, giving one question for each setting of the parameters. It was hard to keep track of my thoughts and partial answers about the question-family, so I made a multi-dimensional spreadsheet in vim, so I could see at a glance which questions I'd answered or not.
The browser could give the user a unique popup style (colored borders, etc.). As long as that info is hidden, this attack would have only a tiny chance of succeeding.
