Two different girls, two different personalities. I can see that dd1 would benefit from the independant system, dd2 (at the moment) wouldn't give a hoot.
H was 70 this week, money's not great but we have a comfortable life.
I'm wondering if I might send dd1 for the entrance exam. H says if I do so, she will fail, since every other child is being tutored to pass. Moreover, (he says, as an ex Bursar) if their admissions are short this year they will accept her anyway.
Do I put her through it, without a tutor, and suffer the consequenses? They would be mme not being at home for dd2, me finding a job and being able to, and just basically turning what's gone around for the last ten years upside down.
I bump into people near where we live/people I used to work with who have two children, one of which goes to an independant school, the other doesn't.
Thoughts desperatly needed. Thanks.
