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.

Be warned,, OP's other thread just went like a puff of smoke! I think She completely lost the plot in the end.

The Eton etc threads make me laugh.

Bowlersarm · 05/02/2014 20:49

The country is a big place OP, with a lot of schools. I don't think I'll be worrying too much.

Why are you teaching at a private school if they are such odious places?

MrsSteptoe · 05/02/2014 20:48

I'd be a bit horrified if the OP was my children's teacher - I think she said she's a teacher on the other thread - given that she seems unaware that women have any way of affording private school other than marriage.

Forago · 05/02/2014 20:48

Dear oh dear OP, this is no way to run a campaign.

Do you really think all kids in private schools have mothers that live off men? You are hideously out of date.

HoneyDragon · 05/02/2014 20:46

You ok op?

Hey I'm not a chinless wonder and sometimes DH goes on top Wink

Sometimes the man isn't the bigger earner what with equality and women having the vote and all.

No. I'll just that worry the shit out of you all for a very long while because you won't know who is teaching your children.

[Oh my god Velma, they've let working-class people get degrees. You see what happens? They answer back!]

OP, so are you just confirming that you haven't got a chip on your shoulder?

Wallison · 05/02/2014 20:44

I was thinking more along the line of giving up the second car, MrsBright - that's all it takes for someone on NMW to be able to afford private school, isn't it?

Gunznroses · 05/02/2014 20:43

Er.. OP please, please! move back from the edge of the cliff, its really not worth it

Bowlersarm · 05/02/2014 20:42

Oh there you are OP. Would you like to disclose where you teach then?

Wallison · 05/02/2014 20:41

[pulls £35,000 out of her arse]

Bowlersarm · 05/02/2014 20:41

Anyone on the other thread? An interesting post from the OP......

Quinteszilla · 05/02/2014 20:41

darn autocorrect.

Not judgments, judgeypants.

Quinteszilla · 05/02/2014 20:41

So, your motive is a personal vendetta based on hoisted judgments, rather than a rational suggestion based on what you think serves MN and her users best?

Wallison · 05/02/2014 20:40

Maybe in that case you should stop drinking, Bowlersarm; you'd be able to afford it then. After all, there are plenty of normal people who send their kids to boarding school. They just make more sacrifices than you are prepared to.

No chip. I'm totally secure in who I am.

I don't need to tell everyone 'my child goes to Eton' to give my own sad life meaning.

I think we need a board for 'Those with massive chips on their shoulders' Grin

lunar1 · 05/02/2014 20:38

Since when did private school equal boarding school? What type of school do your children attend op?
