Christ, give me state sector kids any day of the week.

As a tutor, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. I cannot start really putting a lot of energy and time and being made to think all is understood and studied for them to go and get low marks. And I don't adhere to the view that pulling up marks/grades from 2 or 3 to a 5 is a good thing. I am as good as my last batch of 9s. Also their behaviour, lack of work ethic and vagueness (managing to actually lose their files) is shocking.

Exactly. Given a choice between some entitled brats at some ten-a-penny 'independent' school and normal state school kids, I'd have the latter any day.

The thing is, entitled brats are better to organise and teach. The others are roaming around wild, interrupt when I am talking to them (for their one to one benefit), and are usually very shall we say "un-English". Actually most of the times I can't even understand their accent or do not manage to put a sentence across or convey meaning.

You must learn to troll better. This is poor - almost state school in its clumsiness.
