Its not just this country though is it, they have good and crap schools around the world and if you go to one of the good ones you tend to get on in life.

Prince Harry had access to the best education money could buy - Wetherby, Ludgrove, Eton - and ended up with two A-Levels, art and geography (D)! Vice versa, people can progress to Oxbridge degrees via bog standard state-comprehensives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I'm a believer in education for its own sake and actually learning some fuckin' shit but this is the way all this crap is looked at by a great many. I got a cousin, nothing special academically, didn't do all that well at the private school he went to but what he did get was a better class of company, he didn't hang around with all us fuckin' wasters and like...he's really got on and it's literally through the mates he made in that school. And it's the same for a great many, all that who you know not what you know bollocks. You're right about the Oxbridge degrees via bog standard state comprehensive, met a few of those too.

Aggers on TMS was speaking about his first experience of being confronted with the £10 pint. We can literally drink five pints to a Londoner's one. No wonder they are so weak livered, Londoners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historically they worked in coal mines, ate horseshit sandwiches and think they can drink because a pint glass consists of 90% head and 10% actual ale. The up is pronounced oop due to centuries of beastiality doing funny things to their speech patterns. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tharbin80 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I’m actually currently homeschooling my daughter. There’s no cut and dry right and wrong. It wasn’t an easy decision to make and is a lot of work. I’d be happy to answer any of your questions. It seems to be more and more common as our local school systems get worse. We definitely aren’t your stereotypical homeschool family, and thankfully most of the parents I’ve seen at the group outings aren’t either.
