Really interesting Indie! Glad you pulled thru' after your experiences. I went to an All-Boys Grammar School and enjoyed it thoroughly but it did leave me failing in my teens with Girls as there were no young females in my Family/Neighbourhood or School! Having worked in every kind of environment for 35 years now I can promise you that while my preference is a mixed environment even if came down to a choice of "10" from one gender then it would be Men every time. I now work in a (virtually)all Male setting of around 30/40 Guys and the banter is incessant but great and affectionate. I love going to work to be honest and thats a primary reason.The banter.>:D<

The view of The Managing Editoron The UK's leading Black Site... Black Teachers: is an overhyped cliche that for me holds absolutely no solutions...Putting more black faces in school for me solves nothing... What i would like is motivated, committed and passionate teachers BLACK or WHITE to be encouraged... unfortunately we don't have that and the current culture of targets, tick box and school tables culture is the real enemy... Schools appears to have STOPPED teaching and started to feed the government agenda instead of teaching children... Parent choice: the Government need to scrap this artificial School choice merry go round that occurs every year... This is one of the primary reason why thinks are spiralling out of control... What happens is the so called 'best' schools cream of the least troublesome children..and dump the reat..and its the rest that then gets placed into schools that quickly become sink school that can keep teachers, can't attract a children of mixed abilities and worse discipline plummets...its a recipe for crime and gang culture it needs to stop!! However for the key issue is that there is simple no order or discipline in schools, you have children literraly running the ruddy school..because the teachers are too soft and too stupid to control the classes the problem is the ruddy parents do not teach their children basic manners.. and any teacher will struggle to teach is the student are unruly..and they truly are... For me they need to reintroduce proper codes of discipline in ALL schools, and then stick to it. If there are no consequences for actions, then you have little hope of promoting education I don't care what colour you are...

Never mind. > I'll learn one day. Now Davy I did NOT say you were not intelligent.Its obvious that you are. So,you of all people,should know that tongue-in-cheek does not usually identify itself in print unless it has certain accompaniments like :)or maybe :)) Thus whats a geezer to do? I was left with no option but to take your comments at face value. I mean a blokes gotta defend 'imself int he?:)) p.s. Please note to avoid any ambiguity I put what I considered to be the relevant emoticons next to my comments(tu) btw: Who was tied to a rock and tortured by a vulture in Greek Mythology?

I'm sure I do it in the nicest possible way.And, I hasten to add, I'm sure I'm not beyond grammatical errors myself. Vocabulary is shrinking - you just have to read books written in the 18th century to realise how eloquent some people were in day to day exchanges.

What happened James is that once the "selection" process finished then the School:Archbishop Tenisons,Kennington,Oval was simply the School for the local kids of (presumably) all abilities.It was not the equivalent of a Secondary Modern,where as pointed out earlier,these were the "80%" who did not pass the 11+ but a mix of the local kids i.e A true Comprehensive mix. Important to note how well many have done despite their "Sec.Mod." education NOT because of it! Our local Sec.Mod. school was rough though...I do not know if this was an apothrecal story but my schoolmate swore that he saw only one window there that was not broke and as he passed by a chair went thru' it!..If that was not true of The Borough Of Beaufoy it should have been! Also my first experience of a mugging (me being the victim) 3 Boys(I White/1 Black/1 Mixed=Clint his name was) nicked my money in 1968 in Kennington Park and when I lied and said I lived in Bromley-By-Bow gave me a "refund" of 2 old pence!(Tea-leaves with a Heart:Bless!)::o
