Especially because he wrote it, like.
I refer, of course, to @thecholulakid 's post hand grenade post about kids with learning difficulties messing up class sizes for the bright kids.
That’s how I feel about posting on this forum sometimes but I guess that is just life

Oh… I see…the post where he rather eloquently describes how the cuts in funding reduced his classroom support staff from 4 to 2 making the support avaialble for more challenging pupils well below what would be considered appropriate and thus negatively impacting on the abilty to teach the class? The post that you seem to misinterpreted completely ?(or are you still on that comedy windup?)
The Cholula kid asyou probably well know was not criticising kids with learning difficulties being his his clas… but the Cuts that meant he was unable to provide them with the standards of care and learning they had a right to… did you really not get this (where were you educated?) or where you trying to deliberately mis-represent the post tpo score another cheap point?
The whole point is that teachers need the appropriate resources ins ALL schools to give ALL children the Neceesary support and create the right learning environment. Those resources are not there. You seem to be mistaking criticism of Government funding of schools with criticism of schools that teach kids with learning difficulties… as I pointed out earlier there are kids with learning difficulties in all schools including my daughter’s - but they have the resources to provide appropriate support. Yes that should be available to all. Its is not.

I can’t speak for anyone other than myself on this thread, obviously, but I’ll put my neck on the line here and suggest that you’re the only person who interpreted my post in that way.
‘Kids with learning difficulties messing up class sizes for the bright kids’ is most certainly not what I meant. Lack of teachers and teaching assistant messing up class sizes for kids of all abilities is what I meant.

Im with you @pap on the idea of free lunches and the importance of state education, but the post of yours I’ve quoted is really just idiocy. You’re making a bit of a fool of yourself with these sort of comments. TCK is a teacher, has been for years and is telling you about his classroom experience. And you decide to twist it into some bollocks. You’ve already admitted you’re posting at the moment for off-line giggles (your conversation with inikiti) and trolling. Is this what the leader of a board should be doing? Literally going out of your way to piss board members off? Seems like a really weird way of running what could be a great forum.

That’s interesting. It’s not v.often that a poster makes such a complete womble of himself. I suggest we all Pile On! I’m running a book on if pap comes back with a straightforward, manly apology, or starts spinning some other load of old bollocks.
I’m giving quite long odds on the apology if ur interest.

Bumped for you Bob as I’m curious as well
Would you rather I didn’t fess up?
From the outset, we’ve had nothing but self-justification from those that have had, or are giving their kids an independent (and paid) education.
I was amazed to see my hand grenade jumped on by TCK.
told you. Never bet the bookie yo.

Here we are.
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.
Now I know that this comment was aimed at me…I’ve spent the last decade of my life forgoing spending time with my own young family at weekends and during holidays while working my bollocks off in a failing system to try and provide a decent education for all kids of all abilities that I teach. Granted, I haven’t saved lives but your comments above are so far wide of the mark I don’t feel comfortable with letting them slide.
I don’t need to tell what a prick you’ve been on this thread as your posts truly speak for themselves.

With respect, TCK, the debate isn’t about how many testicles you’ve lost to your job. It isn’t called a vocation for nothing, it has always been underfunded. The only way to make a decent living at it is to stay in for decades.
Regardless, I’m not going to drop my points because you’ve done good work. The simple fact is that none of this paragraph is germane to the argument.
Granted, I haven’t saved lives but your comments above are so far wide of the mark I don’t feel comfortable with letting them slide.
Are they?
Some of the comments that @areloa-grandee decided to make certainly make me think there’s something in my original lobbed and deliberately trouble causing post.
I do think there are those that think along those lines. The only thing I’m not sure about is how much of the independent sector they constitute.
I don’t need to tell what a prick you’ve been on this thread as your posts truly speak for themselves.
I’m not the chappie bunging personal insults about, mush.
I’ve made some personal observations about my experiences with those that send their kids to fee-paying schools. Those points haven’t been refuted with much else bar justification for my points or name-calling.
It seems all the independent set have in their polo lockers are low grade personal attacks. If you’d gone to a comp, you’d have learned how to use cunt as a verb.
I am not one for a collective shit kicking moment - whatever some may think, but I am now confused… I just dont understand why you (Pap) have been comfortable having private liitle sniggering sessions about others opinions? Sorry, just seems at odds with a grown up environment…
Even your last comment suggests a snidey reactionary attitude, no interest in listening to other opinions, just spouting your own political rhetoric - '‘we’ve had self-justification’ said with a snear… without bothering to accept that there are a plethora of reasons, multiple questions and difficult decisions made… you see it as black and white and come across as seriously chipped on both shoulders.
You have the audoacity to present a couple of exampkes of twattish behaviour form a few folks you knew that went to independent schools - yet dont approeciate the irony that your twatish behaviour and attitude is from where exactly?
I will take this with all the due severity applicable to a man who reckons:-
a) state school kids need more money
b) every child should have a good education
c) but not if I personally have to pay any more for it.
There’s strong evidence that nourished kids are better educated kids. There’s also very strong evidence to suggest they’re nourished 
More of the same… casting your insults broadly deliberately to insult anyone who has a different opinion, yet suggesting everyone else is personal… if you insult an opinion it matters not if you name them- its always personal and your cheap points scoring approach is pretty pathetic… you simply just go on and on, you could never possible be wrong about anthing could you… 
I’m not sure if pap is being really thick, purposely obtuse, or just pursuing his new art comedy career, but I think it was rough to involve intiniki. She seems a good sort. I bet she was giving him the old polite smile, patient “yes pap”, and trying to change subject. I’m not sure what he’s going on about, but it’s definitely not worth enquiring, she was think to herself.
I am v.familiar with that end of it. I get that all the time from my Mrs, when I’m trying to tell her how i spent my workday on fkn football frm, talking to barry sanchez and sadoldgit about if canterbury is more hard than liverpool, or whatever.
I have heard Reigate has a real notorious estate, pass this onto your Mrs incase she goes there or wants to, tell her Petersfield has calmed down and she should go there…

… you forget a simple yet important point made about 10 pages ago… you are right , I do not want to pay for it… not as an isolated or singled out group. I believe in a fair system and we should all pay for it based on our means - not just those who chose to spend some of their means on a particluar choice. That is neither fair, nor is it consistent with any form of socialism. Its actually a very Thatcherite policy - sticking VAT/Duty on everyting and reducing income tax… so you pay tax on your choices rather than on your means…
Its consistent with a left wing fruitcake who is looking to make a headline with policy designed for Dickensian era… but even I never thought the old twat Corbyn would dig out a policy that could have been spouted by Maggie’s rotting corpse … and even funnier is you championing it. Just how mental a policy does he need to comeup with before you actually achallenge his wisdom?
Oh and I think I am already paying for it as everyone else is - and woudl happily pay more , if everyone else is as well - proportionally based on income - so dont try and make out you understand what I am saying when with every post you make it clearer you dont…
I’m no longer interest in if it is gd policy or not tbh. I just want to see pap apologise for accusing koala of saying that he wouldn’t send kids to a school with spacks in it. It’s not v.often you get to see pap apologise. Last time we had to send dune all the way to liverpool to get one, but I think we have a pretty strong case here srs.
