Separate Private Schools board please

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.

Why have I been deleted?

I never made any PA. I was defending the OP FFS.

If you respond to a deleted post sometimes the response is deleted too to stop a rehash of a deleted comment.

TrampledUnderfoot · 05/02/2014 21:33

I sent mine to the local comp,because I didn't give a shit about my childrens education.

TrampledUnderfoot · 05/02/2014 21:34

I was talking about the post before I repeated the fuck off.

Trampled do you admire people who make vicious personal attacks on anyone who happens to disagree with them?

Wallison · 05/02/2014 21:35

I want my son to sniff glue and shoplift so therefore he is state schooled.

Forago · 05/02/2014 21:35

And those that do agree with them eg minty

FunLovinBunster · 05/02/2014 21:35

Good luck with the attitude Trampled.

Please allow me to translate the AHEM

Please, please, please play nicely. If you keep getting cross we have to delete, if we delete too many posts we have to delete the thread. If we delete the thread a thousand more will arrive in its place. And it's late. And were tired. And most of all, please, just please don't make us have to mediate because you have you risen to the bait. Please?

Your welcome Wink

Why isn't Statesmom on this thread? I miss her.

Wallison · 05/02/2014 21:37

Obviously went to Eton.

Wallison · 05/02/2014 21:37

Statesmom is fucking awesome. That thread has been my guilty pleasure for days now.

Forago · 05/02/2014 21:38

Statesmom vs mrs bright. God I'd pay to see that.

Trampled Of course you give a shit, that's not what private school parents are saying.

aghteens · 05/02/2014 21:38

Sorry Honey. - xpost Brew

cakeisalwaystheanswer · 05/02/2014 21:39

Forago they crossed swords last night. Statesmom referred to her as "rather common". Sounds tame now, but was gobsmacking at the time.

Gunznroses · 05/02/2014 21:39

Forago i'd throw Xenia and Seeker into the mix as well Grin

diabolo · 05/02/2014 21:39

PLEASE DELETE THIS AWFUL, JEALOUS, PREJUDICED THREAD.

Statesmom is a 1 in a 100,000 minority.

HoneyDragon · 05/02/2014 21:40

Nope, but I did win a scholarship for private education. Did nothing for my tumultuous relationship with the humble apostrophe and other assorted punctuation when presented with a touch screen keyboard though, NOTHING I tell you. Grin

diabolo · 05/02/2014 21:40

Gunz why the face?

FunLovinBunster · 05/02/2014 21:41

Wow. Some really intelligent messages here.
Can't be bothered to engage any more, so here you go kids. You win.

AuntieStella · 05/02/2014 21:42

Statemom has only ever posted on two threads, and about one school. she'd be able to do that whatever future arrangements are made for the education topics.

It's those of us who post about things other than 'which school' who don't want o see a yet/private divide.
