    Danny Cowley

    I have been told that Danny Cowley has handed in his notice at Fitz. Either he is moving schools or there are plans afoot for him to move into full time football management. If this is the case, could he be coming our way? Won't be Col Ewe as they have appointed McGreal.

    The Guardian Exposed

    The next time a link to The Guardian is rammed down your neck by those that would eat the rich, demand socialism and deny choice, then consider this. A list of Guardian contributors who demand equality for the downtrodden but have, of course, never experienced hardship and never will. I give...

    Do you support Southend's Grammar Schools?

    http://ow.ly/I9baz Ok, so the 4 elite schools do well BUT they have 85% of pupils from outside of the borough. Are they now "past their time?"
  9. Kidnapped girls forced to convert and sold for $12 each.

    MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) — With a malevolent laugh, the leader of Nigeria's Islamic extremists tells the world that more than 200 kidnapped schoolgirls have all been converted to Islam and married off, dashing hopes for their freedom. "If you knew the state your daughters are in today, it might...
  10. Alma Mater, Slebs and you

    Seeing as Mad Cyril obviously attended the New York school of Performing Arts, any famous people went to your schools/Uni? I get racist Joe O'Meara from S Club 7 and Shrimper John Cornwell (school), and actress Catherine Tyldesley (Eva, Corrie) from my Uni. I never met any of them. You?

    Should private schools be abolished?

    Simple question. What's your opinion? Personally I believe they should-and I went to a local one for a while as a kid. There's an excellent article on the subject by ex-Grammar School boy Alan Bennett in the LRB,which you can link to here:-...

    How do you fill job vacancies?

    We need a new teacher and as it's only a teacher, my school don't want to spend £800 on an advert in TES (Times Ed Supplement) which used to be the only place to get jobs in the past. Interestingly schools are starting to use recruitment agencies more and more, but social media has really...

    Teaching RE

    I'm ready for the banter, and have no problem with it at all, but think that this article is very interesting regarding the place of RE in our schools: http://www.tes.co.uk/article.aspx?storycode=6417096 It begins: And it goes on... I think a few on here need to really take stock of that...
