So, I’m using you as a place to vent…I think I might be being unreasonable but I see this as unfair.
my children are at an independent school. It’s not a school that will set the world alight but it has small classes and I feel me children are seen.
For a little context to afford school I have reduced the size of my house, changed cars, gone back to work and will be sacrificing holidays for quite some time. My choice and I do this willingly and I see the value…..this bit isn’t the issue.
i feel let down with the way way is chucking around scholarships and bursary’s to preferred families without there being any competitive process. this has been happening for a while and it hasn’t bothered me so much. But the latest story involves a family whose oldest child has attended the school for 1 year and whose father has been removed from the home.
it appears that this child and its sibling(not even started school yet) have been given school life scholarships…..such a huge some of money . In my mind there are 1000s of children in poor circumstances without even 1 parent who cares, why should these 2 children who have a home and when the youngest starts school the mum will return to a well paid job get such a hand out. I feel that this should have been a scholarship that any child in need should have had the chance to benefit from.
ultimately my fees ( and others) pay for this and I keenly feel that a disservice has been done.
i have no recourse to complaint as there is no external body that I know of who can do this.
feeling rage.
