  • Scandalous school story of the day: the Friends of St. Thomas More School aren’t very friendly, as they turn on the head.

  • Becks for England 2012? No: we don’t think so either.

  • But on a positive note: the venues will be finished “early and under budget”. So says the ODA.

      I work as an architectural technician in London and I can assure you the BBC is not scaremongering.

      Thanks for that, Shevek. The article was written in a rather journalistic (and non BBC) fashion and so I kind of assumed they were trying to stoke things up a bit. It is very worrying to hear that they are not.

      It’s ‘scandalous’ that white kids are doing worse than ethnic minority kids? Did you intend to imply that the ethnic minority kids were somehow ‘getting above their station’? Cause that’s how it comes across to me.

        Certainly not! By ‘scandalous school trend of the week’ I was having a dig at the media in general as they are constantly trying to pick holes in and looking for new shock stories about our education system.
