Separate Private Schools board please

Dear Mums Net HQ,
Please can we find somewhere else than 'Secondary School Education' for the Belgravia crowd to parade their 'St Trinians vs Eton' conversations? Its getting like the private school version of Trip Advisor.

Then the SS Education board could get back to talking about slightly more universal topics like GCSEs and bullying, that involve ALL mothers.

Obviously went to Eton.

Why isn't Statesmom on this thread? I miss her.

HoneyDragon · 05/02/2014 21:36

Please allow me to translate the AHEM

Please, please, please play nicely. If you keep getting cross we have to delete, if we delete too many posts we have to delete the thread. If we delete the thread a thousand more will arrive in its place. And it's late. And were tired. And most of all, please, just please don't make us have to mediate because you have you risen to the bait. Please?

Your welcome Wink

Good luck with the attitude Trampled.

Forago · 05/02/2014 21:35

And those that do agree with them eg minty

Wallison · 05/02/2014 21:35

I want my son to sniff glue and shoplift so therefore he is state schooled.

Minutewaltz · 05/02/2014 21:34

Trampled do you admire people who make vicious personal attacks on anyone who happens to disagree with them?

TrampledUnderfoot · 05/02/2014 21:34

I was talking about the post before I repeated the fuck off.

I sent mine to the local comp,because I didn't give a shit about my childrens education.

If you respond to a deleted post sometimes the response is deleted too to stop a rehash of a deleted comment.

Why have I been deleted?

I never made any PA. I was defending the OP FFS.

I LOVE independent education. I am really glad I (or rather DH) can afford it for DS.

I don't care if you think its elitist OP. I'd rather we spent our money on that, than on a Range Rover, or moving into an elite state school catchment area, or on a £750k house.

I dont much care what other people think about that either. My DS is having a flying lesson tomorrow (through CCF at his school). It costs me £70 per year. A bargain imo. He is on target for 8 A*'s and the rest at A's. This is at a relatively low level selective school.

I imagine most people who choose independent education don't much care what people like you MrsBright think.

And you've not done yourself any favours on this thread.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 05/02/2014 21:28

Well if there was another board at least MN would know where to look for the bun fights!

We'd need a permanent Head Prefect on the board.

SanityClause · 05/02/2014 21:28

Why stop there, OP?

We could have different topics for the major public schools, the minor ones, selective independent schools, non-selective, super-selective grammars, ordinary grammars, leafy comps, non leafy comps, inner city comps, RC schools, CofE, Muslim schools, Jewish schools, the list goes on.....

Or you could just hide threads that don't interest you.

TrampledUnderfoot · 05/02/2014 21:28

I never told anyone to fuck off.

I was just saying....oh forget it.

like, the size of a dreaming spire or something. HUGE.

Bowlersarm · 05/02/2014 21:25

Anyway, what do you think? Will MNHQ be going with the idea of a separate board for private schools.

Trampled her posts on the deleted thread had turned into rather irrational incoherent outbursts that led to it being deleted.
It stopped being funny, and more "is OP okay?". When i said 'not well' i was thinking, either drunk or overstressed in rl by other issues and perhaps all the jocularity about her threads had made things worst.

Yes I did. Nothing to suggest she was 'not well'

RVPisnomore · 05/02/2014 21:22

Completely stupid idea and reeks of jealousy. The 'hide' button is there for a reason.

If MNHQ pander to this request where will it end?
