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.

Trampled - did you read the OP's posts before they were deleted?

AuntieStella · 05/02/2014 21:19

I think the "not well" is referring to the extraordinary nature of her recent posts.

Nothing to do with views on schools.

Trampled
I have had plenty of disagreements with posters over private schooling (my DC go private) and we've all managed to avoid vicious scattergun attacks that end up being deleted.

Being opposed to Private Schools is a perfectly reasonable position to have, posting vile abuse is not reasonable. The issue isn't her view but how she expressed it.

You can say it again if you like Anonymousy. Go on, I dare you.

Forago · 05/02/2014 21:14

poor Helen - what a day to be moderating the education boards!

Wallison · 05/02/2014 21:13

Good to see MNHQ all over the burning issue of society's prejudice against the 6% of the population who go to private schools, the poor little lambs.

Anonymousy · 05/02/2014 21:13

Hahahaha that was greased lightning. And I reported myself too. I'm impressed. Meant it though. Grin

Mintyy · 05/02/2014 21:13

Trampled, I am also vehemently anti private school and have droned on and on about it on Mumsnet for years. But I don't think any of my posts have been deleted.

TrampledUnderfoot · 05/02/2014 21:12

It doesn't make her not well. And frankly all the insinuations she is 'not well' are a bit off imo.

You are allowed to disapprove of private education and be perfectly sane.

Bowlersarm · 05/02/2014 21:11

Agree Slipshod and then announcing we should be worried shitless because we won't know she's teaching our children..

Not the sanest series of posts.

Evening all... we wondered if now might be a good time to remind everyone of the talk guidelines?

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 05/02/2014 21:11

Trampled

Did you see some of the deleted posts she had on the other thread. And let's not forget the awful woman hating stereotyping of one of her posts on this one.

This is not a person who wants a rational discussion on the education system in this country.

Slipshodsibyl · 05/02/2014 21:09

I think it is a problem if you are, as I think she has claimed, a university lecturer, and therefore dealing with young people while holding some of them in contempt because of their background.

TrampledUnderfoot · 05/02/2014 21:07

Why is she 'Not well'

Does hating everything about private education make you 'not well'?

Gunznroses · 05/02/2014 21:03

She did sounds like she couldn't take it anymore, o viously not the answers she was expecting.

I hope you really are okay OP and this is all just a joke, we're all for a good laugh here, but its not funny anymore if you really are not well.

Yes, op has gone ballistic in very amusing style. Just hope there is nothing serious going on in his/her rl to cause it.
