If you saw this about a school your child had just left would you think they had a lucky escape?

"This school is fine for children who are above average academically but the school and in particular the headmaster has a disgraceful and unprofessional attitude to children who have extra educational needs and those who come from ordinary homes that don't quite match his own priviledged upbringing."

I didn't write this, honest!

[S1ur]

who wrote it???

[OomphreyCushion]

A rather unfavourable review; quite a personal attack.

Is it a fair and true assessment?

(I think 'priviledged' is spelt incorrectly).

[avenanap]

I've no idea who wrote it. I'm so pleased it's not just me that thinks it. I found it on a website promoting and rating private schools though.

It's very true though . Have you not seen my other threads moaning about the head? ds doesn't fit his profile, that's why he's moving.

One of them. Weird or what?

[partaria]

if you think you've had a lucky escape this would only confirm your opinion; if you lke the school you'd ignore it because it sounds personal and anecdotal rather than a summary of what a significant body of parents thinks.

[avenanap]

Good point. I never thought of it that way.

I think it sounds really bitchy - I'd strongly suspect sour grapes.

[TheRealPhartiphukborlz]

are you sure you didnt write it avenapap.?


agree though, most definately sounds like sour grapes - freedom of speech and all that - where did you read it?
