Boarding School

heard goughy on talkport earlier today mention his kids go to boarding school.

 

now,i understand people have hectic lives and all,but i really dont get the idea of having children and then sending them away.

 

whats the point in having kids?

Featured Replies

Are they weekly boarders or all term?

My step brothers were weekly boarders at Giggleswick. Taken to school monday morning, then picked up Friday afternoon.

I reckon that must've been a laugh.

he was going on about playing games with em so i presume they come home at weekends.

 

like i say,if you havnt the time,dont have kids.

 

wonder what the percentage of boarders turn out in favour of hiding the sausage?

Maybe his kids are little shits?

Its half selfish and half one-upmanship., even if I could afford it I wouldnt send them.

 

Like GOnzo says...whats the point of having kids if you're gonna send them away?

 

Lets weigh up nepotistic opportunities in later life versus the insecurity of knowing your parents couldnt be arsed with you when you were younger.

My missus went to boarding school,

 

I dont need spell check

I dont need a dictionary

I dont need a translator on holiday

 

Just what a Salford lad like me needs, a well educated wife.

bet she doesnt know to make a bong out of tango bottle and a bit of hose pipe though does she?!

To be fair though that's not really one if the key qualities one should be looking for with a future wife.

Given a choice between sending kids to boarding school, or a modern urban comprehensive, I would view the boarding school option rather like sending kids to the countryside during the Blitz. Not ideal, but necessary and the loving thing to do.

You got me. They're awful.

 

What could be worse than a good school that gets good exam results, teaches kids discipline, and then isn't tax payer funded, even though those that do fund it all pay taxes (as in, really pay, rather than the majority of the population who claim out more than they put in). Worse still, they all have bursaries. What cunts.

If all these spoilt brats went to real schools this would bring up the exam results.

All it teaches kids is that those who have money get treated better. and fails to prepare them for a life in the big wide world.

The whole point in publicly funded education is to enable those who couldn't afford it under the old ways to better themselves and make money in the future to help their families.

 

You really do follow tory dogma to the letter dont you?

You actually believe the results come from the children, and not the school.

 

Not worth discussing any further if that's your starting point. Just be thankful you'll never be listened to - plenty more of your sort would be sacked if the government had to fund a 10% rise in school places.

No it comes from parent who care about their children's outcome sending their kids to a school where the teachers care about their school's outcomes.

 

Everyone i know who went to private schools is socially backwards and lost outside of their comfort zone of mummy and daddy providing for them.

 

the 'your sort' comment sums up your attitude completely.

sounds like gough, no?

 

cos he is one thick fcuker

 

his kids won't be and the least time they're exposed to him the better

i married her and now have 9 month old son. :D

 

Hope you have got rid of all the pictures and wont post them anywhere, or send in a PM.

 

 

That would be wrong.......

I went to a Private School, I'm standing on my own two feet as I'm from a working class background. I got my first part time job at 14 and started paying "keep" at 16, I've worked constantly since then funding my way through College and Uni.

 

Just because some Parents want their kids to have the best possible starts in life, it isn't a bad thing.

1 had a mental breakdown at 17

1 took all the drugs he was offered and fucked up his heart and now can't so much as drink a glass off coke

2 are a drug and drink addled jobless wonder

1 had a blow out with his family ran away from home and last i heard was living in a squat in germany

1 has been in and out of prison for various drug dealing and associated offences (he even went to a boarding school and provided the Tarquins and Jemimas with their fixes)

1 was working in accounts for Tetrapak last i spoke him

 

all the professionals i know went to publicly funded schools
