Private (i.e. Public) School

[Platypus]

If there aren't too many little scrotes dragging the standards down.

By the time they get to GCSE years, they should be streamed, so the brighter kids should have fewer problems with disruptive scrotes.

There's no guarantee it won't happen at a private school though public schools tend to have less of a problem due to the entry requirements.

I'm not sure this is true: Private/Public schools seem less willing to discipline their brats, due I believe to the fact that they are paying "for a service". This sense of entitlement is extremely unhealthy, and unfortunately seems prevalent in the richer families, whom the schools seem very unwilling to "upset" treating them as valuable "customers" without taking into account the fact the one disruptive rich kid can destroy the education experience of the other kids, whose parents are of course also paying.

I think the most difficult age for a child is between 13 to 18. So perhaps it might be worth to send them to a good school during this time range.

When they are younger they are probably still unaware of social differences so should be more or less the same at any school.

Although times might be different now and kids can start carrying knives at 5 or 6 nowadays, who knows...?

Just a 2 pence opinion...

Very good prep school. Then parents business failed, so crappy comprehensive.

Oink! And the preparation of prep doesn't show through either....

Since before I was a kid most school fees included "complete the course" insurance. Did your parents opt out or was it not offered? Because of the trauma it can cause a child it is quite unusual for a school to send a child down, just because their parents can't pay.

Yet, I can imagine it happening, so it might be a good idea to mark this as a plus point for any institution you canvas if they offer it.

Prep school ran to 12, after which you were meant to transfer to public.
So I finished the prep, but couldn't go on.

Actually it seemed so at the time, but in retrospect not really.
I enjoyed the comp after adjusting to it (apart from the poor academic standards) - the range of characters was much better.
And it did give me the ability to trust myself and not rely on teachers.
And the ability to speak to oiks like Churchy - that's why I'm so popular on CUK, innit.

Not funny, from another career I know of kids that topped themselves.

There again, maybe your right.

It's neither funny nor smart to pick on the educationally challenged, You big bully
