Back to school soon as in imminently

Hooray!
The school holls are so very nearly over.
Shirts, blouses, trousers, socks, jumpers, skirt, trainers, shoes....for 6 children.
Mega pounds.
Rucksacks, pencils, pens, calculators......don't need one of them to know there's no money left for lunch.
Listen kids it's going to cost £75.00 per week for you lot to have lunch in school....so guess what you are going to have packed lunch.
Much cheaper but one hell of a lot of work. I've worked out that if i get up half an hour earlier i can provide the kids with a balanced meal for half the price.
The kids are crestfallen....salad,fruite,rice, bread, yoghurt and the occasional chocci biscuit or even a packet of crisps.
YUKK!! YucK!
The 6th formers, and Beth, oh how nice they had planned to be to Beth, who would always go to the shop accross the road and get them crisps, fizzy pop and SWEETS.
Will we have money for drinks said little D?
What's wrong with corporation pop? I said.
Water from the tap?.....eh nothing! They said a little feebly.
We might not pay tuition fees but the state system of education in Britain seems to cost more and more each year.
Computers, printers and the more expensive ink, memory sticks, musical instruments and hockey sticks, bats, balls, trainers, shorts and special socks and shirts to tell which school you belong to.
You want to do geography GCSE?
Can you afford to send yor child on a course, that's a necessary part of the examination?
£93.00
It was a struggle for us and we are quite well off. How can a working class or especially a child from a non working family do geography?
Cover your books with film to keep them safe from being kicked around and getting wet, pens, pencils, rubbers, rulers, calculators.

We say education is for all..equal opportunity so long as you can afford to cover your books.
