I am not disagreeing with you, sweetpea. Your words, my emphasis is what I perceive to be the problem. State schools are failing our future generations. Trying to get more children from state schools into our best universities is, on its face, a laudable aim. To hand out university places to...

Thank you MOCAŠ. Your response has been helpful in clarifying some of our differences of opinion. Firstly, curate's eggs (when applied to opinions) tend to reflect reality. Opinions are neither right nor wrong and they should have no role in the formulation of an argument, given the difficulty...

I am finding it difficult to accept this form of logic, MOCAŠ. Many teachers, with whom I have spoken, are in general agreement about the presence of one key common factor in producing well-motivated pupils. It is the parental input and their active support of school objectives. My son has had...

S1X FF ~ Mercedes C180 K Sport Edition Auto Coupe seen near Bristol yesterday. F1 ARY ~ Black coloured Ferrari F430 Spider F1 Convertible seen near Bath yesterday.

My apologies MOCAŠ: My pedantry knows no bounds. :D I was reasonably sure that I had seen the word written as I had used it.

Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery

It is hard to resist shooting fish in a barrel. ;)

Sorry... it was too easy a target. :D

Keep on encouraging them sweetpea. None of us are soothsayers and the future can be anything we choose to guide our children towards. One major parental role is to assist our children to dare to dream. At one time, I would have had many apparently rational criticisms of private education. Now...

:eek: I am impressed. (perhaps too easily?) Not much gets past the all seeing eye of MOCAŠ the sausage (kabanos?). :D Wells Cathedral School is correct.

There are six distinct academic terms at my son's new school. 2011 ~ 2012 academic year Michaelmas: 9th Sep ~ 22 Oct Advent: 7th Nov ~ 16th Dec Epiphany: 9th Jan ~ 11th Feb Lent: 20th Feb ~ 30th Mar Whitsun: 23rd Apr ~ 2nd Jun Trinity: 11th Jun ~ 7th Jul

I dunno MOCAŠ. The annual invoice was for £33,909 and there are other additional costs to pay including field trips, pocket money, uniform items &c. The boarding is obviously included and there is an additional amount added for the specialist tuition which is included as part of the specialist...

Propofol (Diprivan) is known to increase the depression of the central nervous system when combined with a benzodiazipine, of which Lorazepam is one. Propofol may also induce hypotension, hypertension, reduced cardiac output and myocardial ischaemia. There are a range of other adverse reactions...

What is a Medical practitioner doing administering an agent that is commonly used as an anaesthetic induction agent? It has a short duration of action and it is most commonly used (in the UK) to induce stage one anaesthesia. There can be no rational case made for giving Propofol to anyone...

I was in a similar position to your friend and finally, my son has been noticed and given the recognition for his hard work. He was self-teaching all of the core curriculum at Key stage 3 when he was 10. I have always encouraged him to do well... not by beating the work of others but by beating...

The basic fee per term for my son's education is £11,303

I think of private education as something that one can either afford to utilise or not. The bill for a single term at my son's new school is huge and I do not know anyone who could afford it. Private schools are commercial enterprises and the one my son is now attending can only assist places...

Education is still a privilege. I feel exceptionally fortunate that a good school was eager to take my son to give him a well-rounded education. He aspires to be either a high court judge or a brain surgeon and he will have some difficulty in achieving his dreams without a formal, classical...

I agree with most of this post. My son turned twelve at the beginning of September and he was in a middle school. The school did what it could and the result was an average performance across the board. My son was at the top of every class in addition to being a competent musician. We could not...

Try this. :D The band was fronted by Stevie Winwood who was the lead singer for the earlier Spencer Davis Group gUyC6kNj788
