But then there is the other side. Up north a lot of private schools are running with very precarious finances and are having no choice but to close as say 10 pupils leave and suddenly the figures don't add up.merely at clientco for the entertainment -
At the local comp(well faith school) I have spent a small fortune in the last month. Uniforms (blazers, skirts and trousers) have to have school logo, all PE kit is perscribed. Raincoats have to be black with no logo, as do rucksacks. Shoes are black, sensible, lace-ups. I am surprised they don't specify the underwear.
Then school funds, school trips, school dinners abnd a fund for disadvantaged children.
I might as well have gone private. Except that the autistic ones can't go to private school.Comment

We don't bother with private schools waste of money.
Tarquin and Jacinta both have violin and Latin lessons at the local comp & love nothing more than popping around at the weekend to their class friends Brads and Chardonays council house to take a food package and witness their parents drunk on the sofa.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment
