DD knows that we do not intend for her to go to the local secondary school and we have had tears from her saying she does not want to be parted from her friends. Fair enough.
This morning she has been in her bedroom practising pages and pages of sums. I have asked her if she wants to come out with me, she said no she is busy.
Apparantly she needs to go a private school, we live behind Bryanston so there would be acceptable, but she also likes the look of Clayesmore. She said to me:
" I know you dont earn enough for me to go to a private school so I have to work very hard to get in for free"
I said would you not miss her friends, she said
"Going to the best school is more important than friends, I want to be with very brainy people"
