To lobby MN for an entirely separate "Private Education" topic?

[BOOGERSnLICEnNOTHINGnice]

That is all, really.

[BOOGERSnLICEnNOTHINGnice]

And before the trollhunting starts, I'm old enough to remember the brown pouffe, the unicorn sex, the spider fairy etc etc

Why? I have 1 kid at private and 1 at state school (their choices) and many of the issues are the same.

[TheGoldenKnid]

Will there be an entry exam to allow access to this topic?

[meditrina]

So "old enough" to remember when this idea was raised and rejected before?

Rejected IIRC because there is no tidy divide between the sectors an the issues that people want to talk about may occur in any school regardless of its underlying management and funding.

[IslaValargeone]

Is this because you feel it would be more supportive?

[AnOldieButNotSoGoody]

Why?

So all the haterz can vent.

[WorraLiberty]

Will there be an entry exam to allow access to this topic?

I intend to buy my way in

[TheGoldenKnid]

Will you pay for extra tuition so that you can pass the entry exam, Worra?

[HissyByName]

Cos the rest of us is plebs, innit?

[Hmm]

[WorraLiberty]

Of course Golden, I'm saving up my Morrison's vouchers

[TheOriginalSteamingNit]

Good idea, I have lots to say about private education so this would be a handy shortcut

[TheGoldenKnid]

Well that's just not right, Worra. I don't think you're allowed in anyway if you shop at Morrisons. In fact, I'd ban you from Mumsnet for that.

[ScatterChasse]

I suppose it would save time if you were helpful on a particular school/area as any threads about it would be in one topic rather than spread over primary/secondary and education topics.

But it wouldn't be very useful if you were talking about a number of schools or a problem that could occur at either (but perhaps that could go in primary/secondary?).

Perhaps you just have to make sure you put 'private school' somewhere prominent in your thread title.

[MrSunshine]

Lobby them in site stuff, where you might actually get an answer.

[WorraLiberty]

Does MN really need another bloody topic?

What's wrong with just starting a thread about private education in the education topic?

[EdgarAllanPond]

or in AIBU, if you are looking for a fight :)

[AnOldieButNotSoGoody]

A private school section would be a bad idea.

The anti brigade would be all over it.

[TheGoldenKnid]

I can see you, Worra! They obviously didn't teach you how to hide well at school.

[puds11]

The ant brigade?

[AnOldieButNotSoGoody]

Erm no.

The anti I said.

[LineRunner]

Will it be selective?

Boom tish.

[BonnyDay]

yes its emoticons can be like Boaters and geeks with briefcases

[ExitPursuedByABear]

How much will entry cost?



But seriously, why OP? What benefit would it be?
