Separate board needed for Private Schools?

113 replies

MrsBright · 04/02/2014 21:48

Whilst I appreciate that those of you interested in a private education for your children want to discuss it, I suspect I am not alone in finding the endless succession of 'St Trinians or Eton?' threads irritating. Even more irritating is the 'Obscure local school in the South East vs another Obscure local school in the South East?' since only 1 person in 1,000 will even have heard of these schools never mind have any meaningful opinion of them.

PLEASE - could we get the private school stuff off onto another page so that this board could be about educational issues only and not the private school version of Trip Advisor?

Evening all,
we think now might be a good time to remind everyone on the thread about our talk guidelines.

Ah MrsB I see.

You're used to people listening to what you say and doing as they're told.

But here's the thing; this aint school and we aint children Grin...

"Isn't "Really Posh Privates" a dating website?"

If it isn't, it should be!

Or perhaps Really Posh Young Officers and Rough Diamond Fit Privates?

And when he/she can't, out comes the woman hating crap!
