To send my kids to private school or not?

[wtfftw]

I failed to understand why those who can afford to pay for school for their children should not be able to choose to do this, I've never understood why people should have to go to a bad school if they can afford not to.

I should point out that I do not equate state with bad.

I think your last sentence answers the point above. I would've thought if the local state school is good then most parents who could afford it would still send their child to the state school.

At least that's how it worked out in my family. I was offered the choice of a private school but even by 11 years old I had picked up on my parents views of them (not good). Instead I got through several state schools and did fine. My friends are a mix of both private and state education and I wouldn't say there's any difference between them tbh, but then I don't think those private schools were particularly pricey.


Edit: ARgh! I totally misread Fledgling. I think I read "should not" as do not. bah.

Red Jezza happy slaped

Well I'll refrain from comment, but as Jezza has threatened three times on these boards to physically attack me when we next meet, the prospect is not without a degree of poetic justice.

what a snivelling little dweeb

You'll get no argument from me.

So we still stand where you left it then? The reason I ask is that I'm arriving in Brixton next week, and will be staying there on and off throughout the summer. So I'd like to know where we stand on what you said previously.

Fuck me, aren't we the lucky ones?

You gonna wash the feet of the poor?

Hell no. But I would quite like to know whether I can still expect the promised physical assault from Red Jezza. I like to plan ahead.

Why do I fucking bother?
