Cameron's and Choice of School

Why is the fact that Cameron's enter Son for Top private School the Front Page News in The Mail on Sunday?
It is not a criminal offence, Is it?
And Is it anybody else's business?

Many Labour M P's also send their children to expensive Private Schools as well and many have themselves been educated at the top Universities and are very well heeled too'

Lots of parents are happy to make sacrifices to pay for the best eduction for their children. It is their choice

Re: Cameron's and Choice of School

Hi Phil I think the thing people are highlighting is DC is sending his son to a fee paying school but not his daughter .

I agree my grandchildren go to a fee paying school and their parents work jolly hard to send them there and give them the best start in life.

Meg

Yes many parents go with out holidays and make do and mend, to send children to the best school available
These days most children have the same opportunity to go to University with hard work
However it is a fact that some children are academically brighter than others Other Children are more creative as well. We need both.

But it is no good sending a Duck to Eagle School!.

Re: Cameron's and Choice of School

I doubt if the Camerons will do without holidays or make do and mend.

Perhaps the daughter wanted to go to that particular school? (It isn't an average comprehensive, is it?)

Re: Cameron's and Choice of School

Yes, I would think that could be the case. It is best to choose that which is best for each child

The press just like to have something to pick to pieces.

Re: Cameron's and Choice of School

I think it is more than that with politicians' choice of schools, knowing that most people don't have the same range of options.

Re: Cameron's and Choice of School

Because it shows up Cameron to be a hypocrite (yet again) following a statement he made in 2009 wherein he said anyone sending their children to private schools had to be mad!!! - So we now have a self-declared mad Prime Minister.

Re: Cameron's and Choice of School

Nothing wrong with sending your children to a private school if you can afford it. It frees up places at state schools. A great many Labour MPs either went themselves or send their children to private school. Ask Diane Abbott.

Re: Cameron's and Choice of School

I do not have children so school choice was not an issue. I am thankful for the 11+ though. Two of us were the last children from my primary school before comprehensive education came in.

Re: Cameron's and Choice of School

Hi

Well Corbyn was privately educated.

Dianne Abbott, his ex lover and who he appointed to his Shadow Cabinet, sent her son to a private school.

She described it as the making of him.

They are all the same, cannot trust a word they say.
