Cyclone Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. Anything that low and yourself are truly well matched bedfellows. Some wit is better than none though. Would you like me to include a sign the next time I'm sarcastic so that you don't miss it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I feel I can do both.You are the one casting aspersions and making comments. I'm certainly making comments, this is after all a discussion forum. Maybe you can point out what aspersions I cast though? The spelling of floorless was a deliberate mistake so I feel my house is neat and tidy. That wasn't what I was referring to though. No-one ,except a show-off will sit 5 A-levels Oh, only show offs get too many A levels. My bad, I have 5. and most universities avoid showboating of that order. Don't be ridiculous, no university has ever turned someone away for having too many A levels. Private education,like cosmetic surgery is marketedYes it is needlessly Who's needs are you talking about? as the prime motive is commercial rather than educational. What a strange argument for someone who tutors to make. Certainly private schools make profit, but they do that by providing a better education than the state. Just to be clear, can you answer these few questions? Is state education perfect? Can a private paid for education be better? Could someone who already has natural talent do better (that is achieve more) if taught better? Better might include, but is not limited to, smaller class sizes, more skilled teachers, greater access to educational resources, dedicated tutoring, less disruption from fellow students, greater range of subjects, more motivated teachers, more conducive learning environment. And in the interest of fairness my answers are No Yes Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in the interest of fairness my answers are No Yes Yes YOu have made a great effort but when writing try not to be overcomprehensive as your few good points will be swamped by the mediocre.Be selective and remember your readership lack your 5(yes five ) A-levels.Your views on private education must be gleaned from those Mallory Towers books which granny gave you as in reality they are not as you describe.Read the biographies of Fry,Foot and Cleese to discover how the witty students subverted lessons etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclone Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 You managed to avoid answering these simple question Qn, care to try again? Just to be clear, can you answer these few questions? Is state education perfect? Can a private paid for education be better? Could someone who already has natural talent do better (that is achieve more) if taught better? Whilst we're giving advice, try to use [ quote] and [/ quote] correctly or your post becomes mangled and use two spaces after a period, one after a comma. And don't make words up, overcomprehensive is not a word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never use quotes. I never used the word you stated. Private education is not necessary for people who have talent but merely gives a "leg up" to untalented people who do not deserve it.
