I was in a ...I apologise profusely and sincerely...<br />I was in a bad school place having yet again been told that I should be paying $20k a year for my each of my children so that they might attend a private school with an abysmal academic record.....<br />When I said 'no way' I was asked why on earth not - and in an exasperated manner I proceeded to explain my children are very bright, academically, they have GPA's of 4.0....they have common sense - they are clever enough to make good decisions about who they want to have as friends. I cannot wrap them in cotton wool forever - at some point they have to venture out into the bog wide world - may as well be now while I am still around to pick them up and say 'there there' and send them off out again....<br />'Oh' I was told 'hadn't thought about it like that before!'<br /><br />I ask you - what hope is there for the children when the parents are so clueless?<br /><br />Still this was not your problem and I was wrong to bite at you, and I do sincerely apologise for my craziness!<br /><br />Sorry<br /><br />Lou :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-40765024760564151032012-05-01T10:11:56.805-04:002012-05-01T10:11:56.805-04:00Damn Lou, not sure where I made any disparaging re...Damn Lou, not sure where I made any disparaging remarks about any school system, as if my opinion would mean much anyway.<br /><br />Crankyjoehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-67002241337664560642012-04-30T20:45:39.880-04:002012-04-30T20:45:39.880-04:00I wasn't impressed the first time round and I ...I wasn't impressed the first time round and I am still not impressed...shocked? nah...not all of us Brits are avid royalists.<br /><br />Only comment I will make is that the University of St. Andrew's has a fantastic reputation and has actually been in existence longer than the US as you know it, so I'm not really surprised he chose one of the world's best and oldest institutions to further his studies. Sorry I have a real bug-bear about the US education system, and am getting quite fed up with being told how wonderful it is, when in fact it seems full of nothing but bigotry and racism - and that is from the parents not the kids themselves. If I hear one more parent tell me I should accept the lower academic levels of the private school system in order to protect my children from the colour of the public schools, I will scream! - very loudly!<br /><br />Lou :-)<br /><br />PS.

Kate seems like a lovely girl but, for me to be interested, I need more meat on the bones and someone more age appropriate, and it would help if she were a chubby chaser.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-19809153650730387102012-04-30T11:08:00.746-04:002012-04-30T11:08:00.746-04:00Screw the "Royal Reception".
