        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.
        Eeek! I feel so lucky my lad's school is so flexible with what he can wear. I remember when he was the only kid with white pumps and extra long black shorts for PE. His raincoat was a bright multi colour job which compared with other kids wearing the usual boring blue or black.

          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            Fine if it's witty, but the sas/OH dialogue is just dull.

            Still, good for the insomniacs I guess.

              Our little one is soon to attend St Georges here in Munich,

              Welcome To St.George's School Munich »

              Even still I'm confident that my daughter's education is down to my interest in her education and not all what the school can offer.

                Most of the people I know that went onto teaching really only did so as their degree marks were bloody terrible.

                  WHS. No-one goes into teaching if they get a good degree, only the rejects.

                    Add to that they were always a bunch of left wing moaning gits when I was at school, winging on about the government, endless "I'm not allowed to say anything about politics in front of you or anything about the Conservatives ruining the country" comments.

                      The only person I know in my demographic who went into teaching and has a crap (ish) degree is my wife The other dozen young/trainee teachers I know are all bright and did well in their degrees. But then the people I know all went to a decent university in the first place so are perhaps not that typical.

                      You also forget the entire category of people who do education degrees, rather than doing teacher training as a masters or post-grad course.
