SES Forums

Shout - if you don't have something constructive to say why don't you write your posts and check them in the cold light of whenever you manage to get yourself sober. Your outbursts are truly offensive and I personally would not now be sad to see you banned. Would miss your humour but the flip side w...

Bravo Celia. Don't go away please, especially not because of Shout.

They certainly are Shout, I particularly like them grilled...

Maturity isn't determined by age.

Shout, you could not be further from the truth! You astonish me with the lies you spew! Of course Laura Hyde knows about this forum, as (obviously) do her SES superiors. Are you saying that Boddy, Lambie, the Governors, the Solicitors and you know about this site but your mum, as head of the Senior...

Points of interest: 1) Elise broadwith (mr broadwiths wife) was NEVER at st.james. So mr Broadwith never had a repulsive relationship with a 6th form girl. 2) I believe josh said that the Alcuin school has rectified all failings uncovered by ofsted. A point which all of you seem to have ignored. Th...

I saw this article in the Independent and the quote "Nothing taught by force stays in the soul" jumped out at me. It seemed a highly appropriate subject for discussion here. The article I pulled it from can be found here: http://education.independent.co.uk/schools/article361684.ece Is Plato right?

Free, I mean I wasn't sat down and told "this is a form of TM", like it was a guilty confession (or an attempt to present it as an original construct either). I must admit I don't really understand all the animosity toward "a repackaged form of TM". Re your concern that the school fails its student...

If the suggestion is genuine then I'm sure the people said to be involved will make themselves known, otherwise they'll stay silent.

In the meantime I'll fulfil my existing commitments which need my time and energy and which will positively benefit my family.

So the suggestion would be to arrange a meeting between some of the complainants and a select group of their ex-schoolmates, just to see what could be done. From what I have seen, there is a wide agreement between both groups already as to the changes that need to take place. If both groups could s...

I'll put it to you straight, my mathematical education was a WASTE OF TIME! For me, a school boy, trying desperately to grasp the basics of long multiplication and division only to have Mr. Cook shouting NIKILAM HAY-A WHAT SOMMIN OR OTHER in his broad accent really confused matters. I for one, and ...

I wasn't going to post on the board any more, but it seems such a shame to stop at 98. Wasn't there a cricketer who ended his career with an average of 99.99? Bonsai has hit the nail on the head, for my money. If you believe that you're superior in some way, or set apart from the ordinary run of hu...

but when you start grouping together members of an organisation that has been around XX years, and calling them XXXXXXXXXXXX as an entity , there's going to be a problem with communication. Yes, good point, can be applied throughout history... lots of lovely people belonging to an organisation does...

So you did, many apologies I must have missed it (have been very very busy). For anyone who missed it:

Stanton, It is unfortunate that your most insightful and positive post was 'accidental', swiftly removed and not reposted. Perhaps you could reconsider posting it so that more recent members of the board and those who missed it could pass a fairer judgement.

punishing boys by putting them in the girl's classroom? That's wierd. Resonates with the Melbourne teachers shaking the boys hands but insisting on a curtsey from the girls. Are girls rewarded with time spent in the boys' classroom? The shaking hands v. curtsey happens in the london junior schools ...
