Should the rich pay for your kid's free lunch?

What would you do?

I live in hope that one day Pap answers a fucking question…

Ha, true!

But what can I say, I enjoy being begged.

Then the sock goes back in.

Move

BTW @pap does @barry-sanchez have his own CSS class for quoted posts as his posts always look weird when quoted.

Just look up Parklands school Speke and ESLA Garston and I’ll ask again, what would you do?

Different World up here to your “rough”.

Move back down South where we are “less rough”?

Move to a less shit area? I hear Derby’s nice.

Saint would say I am running away from the issue, what would you do?

Send your kids there willingly on your principle?

I’ll happily be called a hypocrite, teachers and schools don’t stand a chance, outside the school gates is where the real issues lie and they are brought into school.

People have their self righteous heads in the clouds, come here and go to parts of Speke, Garston and Halewood, forgotten about, simply forgotten about.

Joking aside, that does look like a pretty shit school and I wouldn’t blame you in the slightest if you sent your kids private.

People haven’t a clue, we have a good secondary but it oversubscribed by 100’s because of that, people were taking their kids out for lots of reasons, I’d love to see Saint tell them not to, it would be a funny discussion from a certain point of view.

It’s ironic that the majority of this thread is replete with people who claim to be well educated completely failing to read each other’s posts. I’ve enjoyed it, thanks.

It’s a shame TheMightyOsterich did not enjoy reading this thread as there were some enjoyable bits.

I think that’s slighty unfair, given that we’ve already covered so much in this thread.

We now know that my hand grenaded comment about not wanting to send your kids in among the wrong type of kid is totally accurate.

I was expecting that to be utterly refuted. Instead, the independent crowd doubled down and dutifully explained that it was only really kids with learning difficulties they didn’t want their kids co-attending with.

That position was slightly besmirched later on, for sure.

But we’ve definitely answered that question.

I think it’s totally out of order that you’re suggesting I don’t like black people and I think most kids are retarded. And I think you’ll find I have answered your question, if you’d asked it the way I wanted you to.

Not true Barry. You can’t run without a spine.

Sliver is the word you’re looking for. :lou_lol:

The real benefit of Fancy School is you can get a posh accent. A posh accent is worth far more than any amount of education imo. There was a kid at our school, thick as shit, but his mum got him elocution lessons. He used to walk around, talking in his posh voice, and we would beat on him. But after school is finished he found that he could just walk into city firms, and pick up job no problem at all. The trick isn’t being intelligence, it’s sounding intelligence.

As a strong independent black woman, I think it is disturbing that you don’t like me just because your kids are retards. You need to evaluate yourself and send more money to Liverpool as we have established that it is actually a shit hole after all.

Go on answer what would you do?

A shit school with dimishing numbers just like the other one, closed down by the state for failing just like this one is, look up ESLA Garston and Parklands Speke.

Confidence in your kids abilities, you’d take that chance in those schools?

Your a fool stuck to your principles, you really are in fantasy land if you believe hard work and endeavour solely play a part, they also need a chance to learn, these schools aren’t very good at that and that is not the schools fault.

Answer the question.

It occurs to me, @barry-sanchez , that white folk that send their kids to mostly white independent schools might be one of the reasons, to use your term, that social integration isn’t happening.

Saint has been watching History Boys and Dangerous Minds all week and thinks its true, alas my child its bollocks and shit happens and life isn’t fair etc etc.

I am a Labour man with a grasp of reality, southern labour really have gone all acock and liberal wishy washy shite, believe in my kids ability and fight to change ha ha what a load of sentimental shit.
