The state of (state) education in the UK

Well put and, for what it's worth, I agree with you about Catholic schools (My mrs went to one).


I think a large part of the problem is these people are unable to think for themselves and blindly follow a procedure even though it fails over and over again.


I'm expecting to hear off the governors this week and if they are as blind as the head and her deputy then it'll be off to shire hall I go.

I might point out she may not have been suspended even as a punishment.

At school i was victims to two attacks. Both times I was told not to come in for a couple of days after.

The idea being the child has has a very emotional and traumatic experience.
They will be highly emotional and the chance of them learning for the next day or two will be impaired so its better they rest at home in safe surrounding .

No, she was suspended for fighting.
I got the written confirmation off the head, which she is sticking by, despite me pointing out the simple contradictions and untruths in it.
