    Could you imagine one of my kids at a private school!

    When DS2 was 7, he was spotted by an ofsted inspector who had previously worked for a very posh private school...... the long and short of it was that they offered a full scholarship (he is very clever... they used the terms 'off our scales').

    We turned this offer down for three reasons:-

    1. If you are going to send any of your kids private.. you should pick the least intelligent as they are more in need.
    2. He was arrogant enough.... I could not believe the kids that we were introduced to!
    3. He would have gone into a class of 30 (his state class side was 18).

    But I also should highlight that if I could have afforded to send all the kids to private school, and picked the school (not a horrayhenry school) I would not have hesitated and would never criticise anyone who sends their children to private school (lots of my friends do). We all do our best as parents and we all do this in different ways x

    We can only do what we think is right for our kids and no way is the correct way - just the best way we can try:cool:

    Only mullers that's nothing, I have been banned from bringing anything else into the house on several occasions.

    Thankfully bans are lifted without me having to try to hard. :rotfl:
