Who do they become after Oxbridge, permanent secretaries?

[DimPrawn]

Find the best (free) state schools in the country. Buy a house right in the catchment area. This will be costly.

But, once your little darlings have left school with top grades you can sell your house and get the money back.

Simples!

They become nothing. When they get to Oxbridge they drink and take drugs and they go off the rails after all those years of relentless academic pressure take their toll.

Yes. But you only need stump the £35 train fare, and not £250,000 to get them there.

Friends daughter

My friends fretted their life away to get her into the best possible schools and college as she was marked as gifted at an early age.

She now is burnt out and can't be bothered to study, whilst some of her friends are all getting straight A's at A level.

Just choose a school where your children feel comfortable, safe and happy.
