    Snowflake education

    Father must give up his 'abusive' school website | Daily Mail Online

    Spends £125k on his private education and his son gets 1 GCSE. Who's fault is it? Can you guess?

      His son David, 17, who went on to study arboriculture and horticulture
      Whose fault?
      90% idiot father not realising his lad was only ever destined to be a gardener.
      10% school for taking the fees even though they must have realised he was either thick, lazy or both.
      Oh, and the other 100% the kid. 1 Grade C in science? There are amphibians who can do better than that
      His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

        Says a lot about the father, personally I would have wanted to keep this on the QT.

        He wants to try and recoup the fees!!!

        qh
        He had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.

        I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

          SO I've got a million quid here, my sprog can't even tie his own shoelaces together at the ages of 11 but surely that million quid will result in 'thickie holden' being able to marry quantum mechanics and general relativity... money well spent!

            GCSE grades go down all the way to G. So a grade C in science isn't too bad.

              Even <list of forum members>* could do better than that!

                That's even worse. In my day it was O levels, and everything below a C was regarded as a fail.

                  I like to tell my sprogs that. Winds them up no end. Though quite happy with my first born's A*s.

                    In most employers eyes below a C is still a fail....

                    Or whatever mark is equivalent to a C anyway
