Private Schools

He's been on this forum longer than you, so obviously we know him.

 

Good Weed innit

 

Your point is?

 

My view, for what it's worth, is that there should really be no need for public / private schools or Private health care in modern, western society... my eldest 2 came through stare schools with very good A Leves and have gone on to fine universities, Leeds and Cardiff through a mixture of hard work, natural intelligence and self discipline and dedication ... youngest seems to be heading in a similar direction and that makes me immensely proud .. no advantages from birth or money ... that's how things should be ... climbs down off soap box

 

Ffs, you said you didn't know him.

He's been around for years, you must be always stoned not to realise that.

 

Fosse deffo went to a soggy digestive school.

 

Possibly... but perhaps only if I'd sneaked in for a quickie ... no offence and all dat

 

Ok...another question, if you take the thousands of kids out of the private sector who's education is paid for by the parents, then put them into the state system are you not going to crash the current financial model of that state system?

Now it could be argued finance would be sourced via the land grabs, but surely that is only an instant win, win, for the government coffers? - that debt of private education into the state system will however, remain with us for ever. Hence could this weaken the strength of state education, currently available to children without the additional increase in pupil population at present. ie class numbers will increase, maybe?

 

7%

600,000 kids

Good luck integrating them while taking over their classrooms and sports halls.

 

this is about to get political.

you're gonna need a bigger boat.

 

I don't know him, and he don't know me. And therefore has no idea about my education.

But yeh you know him and he knows about all your escapades lah lah

Couldn't possibly offend me mate.

 

Hmmmm....not sure this has been thought through very well

 

I don’t see it as political mate. You want to eat good quality steak? You worked hard to have enough dosh to buy good quality steak so buy your good quality steak. You earned it. You’ll still pay the VAT on it.

 

Went to one of the best Grammar schools in Leicester ... Gateway ... having passed the 11 plus ... only happened coz my parents put me in a Catholic primary school and was taught by a mixture of nuns and teachers ... we had a class of 30 and 17 passed the 11 plus ... local school on Saffron Lane where I lived had 2 classes of 30 ... 2 passes at 11 plus and 2 borderlines ... borderlines went to next 2 schools after the 2 main grammars ... Gary Lineker and Emile Heskey went to one of these ... City Boys school

 

This probably ain't the best place to talk about being touched by "god" mate tbh

 

God had nowt to do with it ... but the nuns ruled with ruthless discipline and mischievous little bastards like me fulfilled our potential as a result ... true dat ... harsh, sometimes savage, but nonetheless true ...

 

I think you need to ask yourself If you never got fingered did you really go to a Catholic school?

 

Not sure the nuns were that interested to be fair

 

Depends what aspect of a topic is your angle of interest. I'm not really bothered about the domino affect of all these kids from Private schools joining Public schools. Build bigger schools, there's plenty money just needs prioritising...but priorities are all wrong.

I find number crunching boring

For me, the Class divide and it's social affects are much more important than doing the sums for some silly ****s who take our taxes.

It's just a hypothetical question anyway and not happening anytime soon so no need to get calculators out.
