School trip to cost £1650 quids per child

That’s the beauty of not being real. 😀

You need to get better bait, this is rancid.

😀

This “real world” sounds mighty dull though – no trips, stick to the syllabus, no chance to show some initiative, life’s not fair…..

Blimey, with bilge you only have to buy CGP, learn the book and GCSE A* in the bag. Loads of time for the ” unreal” stuff and much more fun. 😉

To quote a “real” teacher, “you should try it some time”.

Is education only about schooling children to get exam grades and a point on a league table, or about educating?

I know which I’d prefer.

Indeed Captain but heaven forbid that we should go off piste!

So do I but with limited time and resources in the state sector you cant have it all. These are simple facts of life. Thats why the private sector build more into education and produce pupils with vastly more impressive cv’s even when exam results are similar.

Ever taught in the state sector, ever actually tried to fit in a gcse or a level to the contact time you are given? You are quick to be critical but you have no idea of the realities.

Of course not and that’s right, no idea of realities. Much better that way.
