Comments by "" (@EbenBransome) on "another batch of private schools closes this week" video.
@BillDavies-ej6ye It depends on the school and its position in the HMMC pecking order. Upper rank independent schools in London can pay enough to attract people with good degrees and experience. That isn't likely to change. But some independent schools really shouldn't exist, they cater to parents with peculiar social or religious ideas who don't want their little dears getting too many new ones. These are the ones most likely to disappear.

The problem with your argument is that actually in the upper regions private school fees have increased far more rapidly than inflation and wages, and become so expensive that they have to extend their net to countries with a large emerging upper class.

It would probably turn out that most of them are too small to be viable or have inadequate premises. It is hard to get it across to people, a number of whom may well be relatively recent immigrants, that just because you pay for it up front doesn't mean it is better than state provision.

@BillDavies-ej6ye Who would have thought the little troublemakers at school who disrupted classes would tend to take a dim view of teachers? See also drug dealers' views on the police.

@jamesbeeching6138 So you think blaming teachers for the failings of society is a good thing? You ought to read Marx.

@paultaylor7082 One of the people I worked with left MG because he said all the staff did at lunchtime was play bridge.
