I did notice, however, that if you were good at a particular sport, the teachers thought they might have a champion on their hands and get extra funding or a new set of goalposts. They offered to “tutor” you and make you even better. This was seen by the Righteous as a “good thing”.
So how come the powers that be are up in arms about parents tutoring their kids to get through the 11 plus then? Apparently, it is all supposed to be “fair and equal” when it comes to brains but not fair and equal when it comes to gymnastics.
“It is unacceptable for one-to-one tuition to be the sole preserve of the
well-off,” said Schools Minister Sarah McCarthy-Fry. “We want all children,whatever their family’s income, to get the extra support they need to get back on track.”
Well, Sarah, you can fuck off. I have six children and will do ANYTHING to make sure they are not trapped in minimum wage jobs or benefits as you would prefer, you bastard Stalinist. You would prefer that we took the Karen Matthews path of parenthood in order to heap more responsibility on the State and none on the parent. In your own vested interests of course. You don’t have the guts to tell the thick kid that he is thick, yet you are happy to tell the fat kid he is fat and take him into care. You are happy to tell me I am unhealthy and stop me smoking and drinking but you don’t have the guts to tell parents to teach their fucking kids more than how to change channel on the 50” plasma.
I’m coming for you Sarah. I’m going to find out why you are so against “advantage”. Why you believe we are all equal, yet know we aren’t. And then I’m going hoist you by your own petard, publicly.
