Our 14 yr old son is looking for new things to do at weekends (or evenings, homework permitting) and is keen to make more local friends as his school is some distance from SE22. Has anyone got any suggestions for clubs, etc? He'd be interested in joining a drama club, or maybe some sort of sports like tennis or badminton but isn't too keen on football. He's still good friends with a couple of people from primary school but doesn't seem to have made any really close friends at secondary school even after 3 years. He's friendly with people at school and quite outgoing but seems to lack confidence in asking to meet up with them out of school. He wants to broaden his circle of friends but it's hard to know how to help him without making it into a big issue for him.... Have any other parents got sons in a similar situation? Help!!!

      Unfortunately there are two ways of examining this, if we even had the figures. The first is simply to look at the revenues paid to the Council and see if the costs (in terms of setting it up and recovery from it, including administrative cost) are less than the revenues. This would be quite simple to do assuming we could agree the proper allocation of those costs. But additionally we have the amenity cost to those Southwark residents either (a) losing amenity value through e.g. disruption, and secondly losing amenity value by being excluded from parts of a public park for an extended period in summer. That is not a fiscal cost to the council and clearly they don't give a damn, but that would be the only way of judging whether this event was of overall net benefit to Southwark residents, the only people who the council should be 'working' for. Don't hold your breaths.

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      Dulwich College had the "luck" of those allegations landing right in the middle of COVID when the media and everyone else was a bit distracted. And then to make double sure the discontent was suppressed, it threatened kids who wanted to demonstrate with police action. The kids at the time said: "Dulwich College has for years totally ignored, dismissed and condoned by turning a blind eye, this predatory behaviour by students... A protest was students’ only way to pressure the headmaster to actually tackle the sexual violence at his school.” The march by pupils of several schools was advertised on social media as “a demonstration against the predatory culture of Dulwich College and the school management [which] condones it". https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/mar/26/dulwich-college-head-warns-pupils-over-culture-protest
