Education, Education, Education ~ AGAIN

[Bar Wench]

I honestly don't know. Especially as I was educated in the private system and basically if you were paying you could do as you like.

In your situation I imagine you would have had some sort of an ASBO for not attending school or your parents would have been hit with a truancy fine.

Indeed ~ instead of which I was thrashed in front of the whole school, given an excellent report and went off to serve Queen and Country.

Ours is not to reason why. We are simply to do as we are told.

We have the first 11+ paper this week 

Wish him luck ~ but then he has already had that by being able to sit an 11+ ~ most kids cannot. It is a bit of a post code lottery.

Indeed it is.Should he fail it then the alternative local school will not offer him a place, since on our side of hte county boundary the 11+ does not exist. People who elect to take it are punished

We were deemed too far away and "in Wales" unless I paid huge sums of money.
