Originally posted by Laurie You seem to think straight A's is top notch, meet mister A*, thta is what is expected is of us, B grades are seen as failure. You know in some exams the level of an A is 65%? You seem to feel 98% at KS2 in maths is not enough?80% is hard enough to find amongst the state sector pupils. Although i must admit, I'd lose out to them in the Tracksuit and trainers general knowledge exam or how to make a 3 star resort that of 2 stars. they've made those ones by now surely? I'm sure they'll be some ridiculous legislation or civil liberty somewhere dictating that it's an injustice not to have it somewhere. At least they'll get some half decent marksHave you been to a state school recently and seen what type of places these have become due a mix of cultures and multi cultural collision?Notice one thing, the majority , especially in London of state school children are of ethnic minority, and notice another thing, the flowers on the lamppost down the road due to another knife crime death, this is why 'daddy' forks out.Your dumb bellybutton approach and typical lower class view of generalization at the upper-class schools makes clear why you are not here with us. In 2003 Eton came top of the school league tables in GCSE, can't be all that dumb or accepted simply on a financial basis can we? My brother having taken his GCSE's that very year at Eton.

Hopefully when you get the chance to travel & work amongst people from all sorts of backgrounds, races and religions and have expanded your education (although your KS2 maths result is commendable) you will gain a more balanced, objective and reasonable attitude towards a source of conflict that has been going on for 800 years or so.Regards.
