Page 4 | Do Teddies have kids who struggle academically?

Hello All, Just seeing if any current parents can tell me if the vast majority of kids at Teddies thrive academically. I have heard this from current parents and students.

VoulezVouz · 04/07/2025 06:54

Not that I’ve found. My teddies spent too much time drinking (at tea parties, but it did take away from algebra).

Exam results are purely academic if you have this Teddy's kind of money.

Love the gold hubcaps. That's aspiration - look and weep, Comp kids!

Yes, she's been in that cupboard since before there was decimalisation and when the UK used to regularly win Eurovision. She's going to need a lot of care. Give generously.

CBA to read the whole thread but presume this is about King Edwards in Oxford (teddies). Met three from there. Two absolute crushing boorish twats and one lovely, sensitive and thoughtful. All doing pretty well academically. I’m in my late 30s though so may have changed.

Why should you being in your late 30s change their academic success?

Teddies? Not with their school tie. Yah, yah, Timbo and I went hunting one of those furry bastards once. [Rambles….. makes squeaky noise] Bloody big one. Had to go through the long grass in the paddock on Timbo’s estate, [Snorts] dreadful mess. Ticks! Everywhere. [rambles] Took PA’s shotgun, waded through the river, [rambles…:snorts] Bloody big snowstorm! Can’t bloody go over it! [Rambles….does Yeti impression], bloody thing chased us home! Ha! Stairs you see, can’t climb them. [rambles, snorts].I’m afraid I was very, very drunk.

Who is the target market for this delightful ensemble?

Pink Pauline by the sounds of it! @Shetlands can probably confirm.

(I still say free her though)

They might not get violin lessons from Yogi Bear-ma anymore, but at least my little teddies are still getting a solid state education:

Subjects include:

Food Tech – specialising in marmalade sandwiches and bear claws (both pastry and practical).
Clawculus – with extra scratch paper, naturally.
Paw-litical Studies – covering left wing, right wing, and the constitutional right to bear arms.
Fur-eign Languages – “Bonjour, je suis un ours.”
Bear-dramatics – featuring the greats: MacBear, Much Ado About Growling, and the masterpawce… The Bear-y Wives of Windsor.
Bear-itish Literature – from Paddington’s Diaries to Of Bears and Men, with in-depth study of Roald Pawl and Winnie the Pooh-stmodernism.
Growl-ography – tracking salmon streams and picnic sites using only instinct and paw-prints.
Paw-sical Education – dodgeball, tree climbing, and competitive honey-pot wrestling (helmets optional).

🤣🤣🤣

Don't be fooled. Pink Pauline's not as innocent as you think.

In the Other Place Teddies are academic (fingers crossed the link works).

It’s ok. She says she was registered female over 50 years ago at the toy shop.

PHEW.

Good evening. I am starting a campaign "Free Pink Pauline" . She has been locked in a cupboard since 1968, which is surely a cruel and unusual punishment.
Who will support this cause?

I think it was on one of those sites selling ‘kawaii’ Japanese stuff like unicorn frilly socks, poo emoji pillows and a cover that makes your computer keyboard look like tiny little bap buns.

Teddies here tend to be total numptys. Their picnics are, at best, average (suspect the sausage rolls are supermarket bought) and their honey related table manners are appalling. On the other hand, post A levels, most tend to pretty quickly end up as high court judges or married to minor aristocracy, so...

And Stieff bears just live off their trust funds as they are the arisocrats of the teddy world

Crushing boorish twats!!? 😱

Where did they come from... The bottom of the toy basket at a charity shop?

We should start a GoGundMe for Pink Pauline so she can use it to buy her freedom, hire a lawyer and sue her jailer for false imprisonment!
