I would have to have seriously tons of wong. I mean like a spare couple of hundred thousand or so pa to consider doing it. And it would ONLY be for fear of the children possibly feeling resentful if I didn't at some point in the future. And it would still be with extremely heavy heart. Can't help being a leftie, see.

Yes, of course.

  1. Better facilities.
  2. Smaller classes.
  3. Better sport, art, drama and music provision.
  4. Better liklihood of success - happiness and grades.
  5. Being taught in an independent environment means not being taught each and every new time wasting Gove initiative
Obviously I'm astute enough to know that not EVERY independent provides all these things, but if Wong was no object, I could buy it.
