Request a state school place if you want it or not

[clarkkentsglasses]

This email is doing the rounds aimed at private school parents:

"The idea is to try to flood the Council with requests for urgent school places from September. If they get tens of thousands of emails like this we may see them under pressure."

Basically request a state school place if you want it or not.

you have quoted from the email

So… you didn’t receive an email
and you haven’t even seen the email
you have just heard about an email

It really isn't.

You need to take into account that the people who wrote this fictional email have a complete lack of understanding of how the system works

The NUT doesn’t even exist so this email is coming from a place of pure ignorance.

Grape vine again

I'm going to tell them the NUT doesn't exist!

not even that in this case
i reckon just the Op making it up for purpose of starting a thread

🤣🤣🤣
I think you’ve made this whole thing up OP!

There might be the places in the state schools across the whole country but sure certain areas will be pushed for places if the estimated 10% of children do leave the private sector.

so… no screen shot op of this email you’ve “heard about” and yet quote from at length?

What a surprise

So do you thinks that's a good idea then ? What a selfish and stupid thing to do

This

It's a terrible idea and deep down morally wrong.

Scaremongering bollocks. There’s a woman in our village peddling the line that the local primary will be ‘swamped’. It really won’t. Most of the private school parents in the village can easily absorb the extra cost by downgrading the skiing holidays and shiny new cars. Including her. “I’m just worried for the local primary” she says. Are you chuff, love. 🙄

An email, wait, no, it's on Facebook, wait, no, it's in a WhatsApp message. Okaaaaaaaay.

HQ please delete this nonsense attention seeking op

who can’t tell us who sent the email
who won’t post a screen shot
who quotes at length from the email
but apparently try she heard about it on a FB nope whatsapp group

I am embarrassed for you OP. Did you think we wouldn’t ask questions ?

Labour are coming out with plans for the VAT revenue today - more nursery place and breakfast clubs

They are making it up as they go along now. Their own list of pledges allocates the VAT to more teachers and mental health support. Breakfast funding is supposed to be coming from non doms. They seem to be allocating the same money twice. Their own senior figures don’t even understand their own policies.

Honestly what has the world come to. Where is the sense of community and looking out for each other. What a load of $hit aren't people just awful 🙄

FFS. If this is true then the people suggesting and doing this are twats of the highest order.

how dare we take away their privilege, eh?

private schools; helping some thick but rich kids succeed at the expense of poorer but smarter kids who - in a truly meritocratic society- would outperform them otherwise.

The councils have no obligation to find school places for anyone for 2024 now that the deadlines have passed. Anyone applying would be making a late application. If the spaces don’t exist, they won’t be given one.

Frankly, it boils my blood how people who’ve never had to deal with any kind of financial adversity are now throwing all their toys out of the pram because they are greedy and want to keep all their wealth for themselves. It’s about time they had to contribute something instead of sitting back with an I’m alright Jack attitude.

helping some thick but rich kids succeed
@Scautish
How on earth has our supposedly civilised society descended into this name calling? All this policy does is incite hatred and spite. We are talking about children - innocent children. Both sides should be respectful of each other and be capable of a civilised debate.

Looks like the Catholic primary schools I know that are under subscribed are going to get some pupils who live closer to their school and fill up their places.

Oh well least it will create another generation of non-religious people.
