Strange really. I went to the same school around the same time as Ms Bindel, and I had an utterly contrasting experience. I found the teachers, in the main, to be motivated and inspiring. My fellow pupils (forms 1-2A and 3-5XP) were brighter than me and dedicated to doing well. Most if not all went on to college and probably university, even those who lived on the Branksome estate.
excellent article – I wish politicians had Julie’s grasp on the subject – it’s not rocket science after all!!
