Do Teddies have kids who struggle academically?

Hello All,

Just seeing if any current parents can tell me if the vast majority of kids at Teddies thrive academically. I have heard this from current parents and students.

Im assuming that since teddies go to Teddies, there is no need for school loos - since, bears, as we all know, shit in the woods.

Or is it that bears are Catholics and Popes... Dunno, sorry, too much gin.

I don't know. I've heard they love to play and shout a lot, and they never have any cares. The worst are the stuffed owls, though. Can't even spell their own names.

I've just met a bear called Maria.

I feel pretty with all this bear talk.

Get stuffed with that attitude.

But don't go to build-a-bear. Too expensive.

My bear likes to be in America. 😊

SheSaidHummingbird · 03/07/2025 21:56

So Build-a-Bear is, like, prep school?

After hard thought - Monkeys, Cuddlies & Squishmallows? Someone upthread said she has a monkey.

Manky Comprehensive School?

Bear does no one care where the op is? @oioos7

No! This is way too much fun 😁

Is this St Edward’s Oxford? It took the rich but middling kids from my son’s prep school who hadn’t got into MCS or boarding schools.

Some of the staff do tend to be a little arrogant at times though.

I want one! It will go well with my pub quiz shirt I'm not arguing, I'm just telling you why I'm right!

Rich but middling? Imagine taking them in..I think that school is doing great service to the nation. Do they serve honey for tea?

I would think so. They’re a bit cotton brained.

Souredgrapes · 03/07/2025 22:22

Hope there is room in classics for this. Next to , the one about touching a working class child. 😆

My Teddy loves Shakesbear. His favourite play is King Bear

He also likes a bit of Thackeray; especially Vanity Bear

Neveranynamesleft · 03/07/2025 22:25

Marmalade sandwich anyone ?

Pianoaholic · 03/07/2025 22:26

Surely all teddies are clever, do they not give TED talks?

INeedAnotherName · 03/07/2025 22:26

PersephoneSeethes · 03/07/2025 18:45

Sorry, OP. You mean St Edwards (Teddies) Oxford? From what I have heard from the traps, there is little to no SEN support at the school and is aimed at strong, vibrant all-rounders.

Does that help?

Bear traps???

😱

Teddies aren't real they can't have kids
