That behaviour comes from parents and it's not something you can say is an independent school problem. Maybe you get more of that type at private schools, maybe not, it's not my experience. if you have a choice, choose the school that suits your child best. My DD's indie school is small, nurturing and not flash - I went to a comprehensive in the Midlands, neither of us bray!

Re: Independent vs Grammar Schools an Old Debate
The challenge, IMHO, is how to figure out which school suits your child best. Do you depend on views of a 10 year old who may like a particular school because she likes colour of the uniformmad? wrote:Spot on fairy elephant!fairyelephant wrote:I agree Amber, there were plenty of those at our state primary, which brings us full circle....

Spot on! What is the "best" school for your child? DD liked a school because the building looked awesome with beautiful green fields ( I must admit I also was impressed )ConcernedDad wrote:The challenge, IMHO, is how to figure out which school suits your child best.
