The only time my school was on TV was when police found gay porn in his office. True story. :s-smilie:

I saw this programme it was great. Shows that you don't have to be at a private school to get top grades, although I wish I went to a private school :biggrin:

I don't think you know what a chav is, because in Wembley, you don't get chavs. I watched the programme and thought it was great.

^Really liked the show too! Apart from the fact that the whole point was to show the stereotype wasn't true, but they didn't really pick the best schools imo... I know of a lot worse 'inner city state schools' and v snobby private schools!

Oh well, either way, liked watching it!

oh man i missed that! i wanna watch it!
I watched that, it was OK, although like someone else said, I know some far "worse" schools than the one featured in that documentary. I dont know any other posh schools though, I couldn't believe how posh that one was, it was rigt weird.

:hmmmm: Erm...Your telling me you didn't see a chav in that program? I'm not saying it wasn't great or anything like that, I just found it sort of funny when the posh kids were surrounded by hooded baseball cap wearing kids asking if they'd ever seen that many black people at the same time in their lives. And the bit where the girl says to the camera "Check diz yeh, my sis bare fancies dis lad yeh"..:laugh:

I haven't got a problem with the program, it was quite entertaining. But I found it so because I enjoyed watching how the 'posh' kids coped with the social clash. Anyway....:rolleyes:

Lol thats not what a chav is. Those are 'Rude boys' and 'Rude girls.' Chavs tend to be white, wear burrberry, drive modifed cars in Essex etc.

Ah, understood my friend. The dialectal meaning of the term 'chav' differentiates, here a chav is generally just the kind of **** shown on the program. :rolleyes:
My school was on Channel 4's dispatches.
My secondary school was once in The Sun because the head of music, who was recently married to one of the modern languages teachers, had an affair with a 6th form prefect who had a Cambridge offer, and because it was an expensive private school it was all like ooh, scandal.

"it looks grotty"

"it looks **** outside"


Well, to be fair, it does. Most state schools do - much to my distaste. Personally I think the state would have done a lot for the future of this country and the education/motivation of children if they'd build decent school buildings.

"the "biggest thing" they miss is toast for breaktime in our first teabreak."


So what? They obviously do. Is missing some toast all that bad? Personally I'd say it indicates that they're not all that bothered by adjusting to the new regime.

libby - "i'm surprised the work was so heavy in Preston Manor" because most posh gits "expect it to be the other way around."


You'd certainly expect a private school to work their pupils harder than a state school.

I watched this! And this is what I'm doing...moving from a posh private school to a state school in Leicester (AS OF SEPTEMBER!!!!)
I watched it because one of my sisters is a teacher at the Wembley school :cool: . For some reason they only showed one episode at Preston Manor and two at the private school though, what was that all about? :frown:
