Were you state school educated?

[Twiglett]

Because I was .. comprehensive school in Manchester

then IIi (jt hons) from Leeds University

wasn't going to mention that my independent girls' school place was free, but as Tamum did, I will . scholarship girl. but dh still insists I'm posh as hell

aw thanks scummy

actually I might have found a new read (as well as the other one ) - dare I tell?

dh brought an Independent home - read a cracking article by someone called Matthew Norman about TB.

They also have sudoku as well so I'm sorted

also - as well?!

wow! I must have a look one of these days, as am finding the graun pretty predictable and shallow quite a bit of the time recently...

8 different primary schools (army dad)
and then private girls' boarding school.
Didn't go to university - was living and working in Berlin and enjoying myself far too much!

me and dp both state educated at CofE secondary school. I went on to uni (University of West of England in Bristol) and he didn't. I'm still doing my degree.

We stopped reading the Guardian some time ago, Scummy, because, just as you say, it's become shallow and predictable.

I didn't realise this thread was in response to another one; I assume it's the private schools are they worth it one? (which I haven't read)

oh this indy is far superirior to the graund, deffo. much less smug and much more anti war.

Motherinferior - which Quaker school did your dp go to?
I went to the furthest north of the North Yorkshire ones.

i am state educated then liverpool University met dp
he is privately educated then Liverpool university.

He did well - i did crap - but i met him !!!

Kind of - although I had enough of a chip on my shoulder to make sure that everyone at uni only heard the Manchester comprehensive bit.

state primary then comprehensive

Until I was 14, I was privately educated. Age 14 is when 'high school' starts in the US.

I then went to a high-performing state school. I had to sit a very long exam, b/c entrance was merit-based.

State university, although, this state university has a very good reputation thanks to being endowed w/a lot of oil money and research money and therefore able to attract top staff.

Shite state schools from start to finish unfortunately Came out with zilcho (despite being quite bright) My learning was severly disrupted by children who didnt want to learn it was pointless being there tbh. In the end I didnt bother going at all & lost my way for many years. Im determined my girls will not be allowed to rot in bad schools like I was So I moved area for better schools & quality of life It cost a fortune, but its the best money ever spent imo.

i was state educated,local all irls very good school, my children were home educated until recently when my younger two started at school and my eldest applied to local grammar school for next sep.

State all the way for me. My ex went to boarding school. We both got 2:1s but he has never had a proper job and I've done pretty well...
