Separate Private Schools board please

[MrsBright]

Dear Mums Net HQ,
Please can we find somewhere else than 'Secondary School Education' for the Belgravia crowd to parade their 'St Trinians vs Eton' conversations? Its getting like the private school version of Trip Advisor.

Then the SS Education board could get back to talking about slightly more universal topics like GCSEs and bullying, that involve ALL mothers.

I've got a Vauxhall Corsa - do I win?

(it does have a personal number plate though)

Bad idea to separate the boards I think. There are way too many boards on here already.

Too many boards as it is. Maybe we could just have 3 boards: 'i want to discuss something/seek information', 'I want to show off' and 'I want to start a fight'. That should cover it.

Pleased to hear it, Owl. You'll be to know that your post fills my card because I know psychically what you 're thinking. So....'HOUSE!"

Ooh la la OP.

You really do want to hide any mention of private schools don't you?

Well,thankfully, it's not down to you.

Take a look in the mirror some of you.

I love the private schools threads; best bit of mumsnet IMO. It's like watching a class war bun fight in slow motion.

FYI my DC aren't in a bloody boarding school.

OP seems not to have heard of state boarding, or perhaps just not seen the threads where it's discussed. Separating off private schools would not separate out discussion of boarding (shudders at memory of recent thread involving Hockerill).

Your chip is showing...

Since when did private school equal boarding school? What type of school do your children attend op?

I think we need a board for 'Those with massive chips on their shoulders'

No chip. I'm totally secure in who I am.

I don't need to tell everyone 'my child goes to Eton' to give my own sad life meaning.

Maybe in that case you should stop drinking, Bowlersarm; you'd be able to afford it then. After all, there are plenty of normal people who send their kids to boarding school. They just make more sacrifices than you are prepared to.

So, your motive is a personal vendetta based on hoisted judgments, rather than a rational suggestion based on what you think serves MN and her users best?

Anyone on the other thread? An interesting post from the OP......

darn autocorrect.

Not judgments, judgeypants.

Oh there you are OP. Would you like to disclose where you teach then?
