Yeah, what's the world coming to when you can't even racially abuse someone or incite a riot on social media? -
Are there any current scrabble clubs meeting in the area? Or anyone interested in getting together with other local passionate scrabblers? Searched on here but nothing re. scrabble since 2008 or so. -
Hopefully this is the first step towards closing private schools... Families that can afford private schools could still offer their children tremendous advantages whilst in a state school such as tuition and after school activities. By locking away a small group of wealthy children in a private school away from most others we are creating a far more divided society with a real lack of empathy and understanding about the lives of the vast majority. -
One thing for sure, if the students who are currently in private schools have to move to State schools because their parents can't afford the 20 per cent increase, and those children can't get into the top state schools, then the let's say, average state school will see a massive increase in their GCSE Maths and English attainments and EBacc performance tables. Also, private schools have the option of preparing students for iGCSEs which State schools can't, and some believe that iGCEs in some subjects are easier or harder or about the same. Those students changing over between Years 10-13 will be impacted the most. So I'm assuming parents will ensure, by possibly taking out a loan etc that their children get through their GCSEs and A levels, and those doing GCSEs, can easily get into a top State sixth form if they obtain the right grades. With what's being done to the pensioners earning over £13k, I don't think there will be a lot of sympathy on this issue.
