Funnily enough we know of a family that used the old 'we split up and I went to live back at my parents with the kid at the time of application but we're all back together now' trick. I thought it was quite ingenious at the time. Seems like it wasn't that original after all.

It's just a shame there's so many crap schools. That's the real problem.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

The admissions process gives priority to children with a sibling already at the school so that shouldn't happen.Originally posted by Fred Bloggs View PostScience isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

We live in the catchment area for the 2 best state schools in Scotland and it is desperation for some people to get their kids in there. My mate who is a protestant dragged his 3 kids down to a chapel to get them bapstised. There is a Priest a few miles away and if you give him 100 quid to dip their heads in water your kids move from underperforming school to top school. Simples.Comment
