[/B] I am afraid that this is life - some students have photographic memories and can absorb it all quite quickly. I would also suggest that some folk say they do very little but the reality may be rather different. Were the others out twice all night or perhaps down the pub for an hour...

I have never wanted to start a thread as to why "were loose" appears in case it was blindingly obvious and I missed something. But I have now summed up the necessary courage to ask what it actually means or is supposed to mean?

You are quite right in what you describe. I am a clerk to governing bodies and at all of the three schools where I work, they were faced with this dilemma, but all three have scooped up the signatures to the extent that they do not feel that they have missed anyone! I think your figure of 15%...

4 years at the amex after this year also seems like a life sentence!

Fascinating post and agree with so much of it. With respect, you do contradict yourself in the final para - either you want your son to have a fulfilling career or you don't! My daughter has been with Sussex Police for years and loves the job. The money isn't bad eiather. Your son is clearly...

Thanks for your reply. You are right in that kids do have unrealistic ambitions, usually to want to be a footballer, but as they get older, this changes, as they realise.

I can't help felling that this is a massive over-statement. Not sure how you create an intelligent student, by the way. Have not some children always had unrealistic ambitions, only to eventually find out their limitations. Yes, the emphasis is on results, not that this is wrong ( I know that is...

Yes, you are right. actually I had put in something else, and then changed my mind, and forgot the comma -well, that is my excuse! Clever dick!

One might be tempted to give the same sarcastic response to your post. For the record, I taught for 35 years, know full well the worries of this sort of thing, and the people concerned have my every sympathy. Don't forget, it was not I, who decided to use the situation for some sort of...

Somehow you just knew that someone would get in on this to voice their bias, pick on what they don't like and simplistically make a link as to the solution. I wonder if you have a family - presumably you will be giving all your dosh, your house and your car to the state when you die?
