to be happy with the education my children are receiving in thier state schools?

[LynetteScavo]

I really am quite content with their education. I'm happy with fact that they mix with children from homes of varying incomes, and a multitude of ethnic backgrounds (in DS1's class anyway)

I do not regret the fact that we cannot afford to send them to a private school. (If I'd been that bothered I'd have only had one child, and the reason for this is not about the schools we went to, or our career choice- plenty of people with the same career as DH send their DC's to private schools)

I went to both state and independent schools as a child; so have seen both side of the coin - so to speak

Give it to me straight - AIBU?

Anchovy - V big LOL at two Ptolemys

at the risk of sounding really pathetic onestoptogo

i really dont think that posting on a message board requires excellent grammar, punctuation and spelling

whether i was at a private school or not when im on msn or mumsnet i talk like this - cause i type quick and cba to make the effort

I find that in real life these conversations seldom take place.

People don't debate the ethical nature or otherwise of private education. They just talk about how bloody expensive it is.

Very misleading that on here it is always portrayed as this wonderful empowering "choice".
