Jack graces us with her presence on thread #31 so I recommend reading that one at least!
I doubt SB goes to a private school. Southend has 4 grammar schools so from my experience a lot of parents tutor their kids as competition to get a place is fierce. Kids living 20/30 miles away will be applying for places. Most schools will also offer after school tuition but that's probably been lost to Covud
They used to take the selection exam in September/October so she's left it a bit late to make a start on this though. And surely she would have been having these conversations at parents evenings last year?
So don't ask Twitter if your kid should apply. Ask his teachers what they think.

I really hope she thinks twice about the tweets about SB and deletes them, I feel unsettled because I’ve seen them, let alone people who actually know them.
The ancestors of modern chickens only laid two clutches of eggs per year. They didn’t ever lay an egg a day. If that was the case they would have constantly had chicks at all different stages of development, which would be impossible to care for.
Modern chickens have been selectively bred to lay eggs constantly, which is a huge strain on their bodies. The calcium used in creating eggs leaves their bones fragile and prone to injury, and they are prone to developing cloacal prolapse (the cloaca is the orifice from which birds lay eggs, and poo).

One of my biggest pet peeves is when parents blindly and disrespectfully share the private details of their child's life via social media. As someone who claims she grew up in a household with a number of foster siblings, you would expect JM to be more mindful and aware of her own child's rights to privacy and how to respect it. It all feels so very cold. Almost like a punctuation mark in her tweets, flippantly thrown out there with no regard for the future ramifications. The blatant fact is that her son has no control over these posts and never will be able to have them removed. I question if they are factual but regardless, she is putting his personality and life out there for him to be known in the way she wants, whether he likes it or not.
“Bear in mind I have severe adult ADHD across all tested areas”.
“Across all tested areas” is not a thing. She has no idea about the diagnostic process. Liar.

They still have grammar schools in that region hence the 11+exam
Living in a country where children have been back at school for 3 weeks, believe me many precautions have been put in place. She is just stirring up an emotive subject and stressing people out.
You can buy school uniforms in Aldi and Lidl, she would be better helping them promote this to people struggling to buy for their children. We have lots of posts every day on our school FB page with people handing down pieces of uniforms. I get the feeling she takes a sadistic glee winding people up. I’m saying nothing about SB as she’s said enough already

No, that area still has grammar schools
Do they really tell you where you came out of those that took the exam? When I took it, a long, long, long time ago, you got told whether you were successful or not. I vaguely remember they told you what your score was, but not where in the pecking order you came.
She is really getting on my wick today. All this rubbish about the book that she:-
1 Has a written manuscript ready to submit.
2 Hasn't written she needs to carry out research by asking people for their stories.
3 Might write once she has read what others have written in her vast library of books.
4 Will write as she has a 40 day deadline.
It is all nonsense.
1 If the manuscript is ready to submit, submit it.
2 If it is to be full of peoples experiences of poverty, it is nothing new and will achieve nothing.
3 If it is to be full of quotes from previous works, it is nothing new and unless correctly accredited will be plagiarism.
4 If it has to be completed in 40 days and she has yet to start it, it will be worthless.
I could probably write it for her, the first chapter will be:-
Myriad of jobs, Fire service, single parent, made to leave job, draughty flat, no money, no food, hungry child, selling everything, prostitution, howling, wailing, ailments, trans, non binary, discrimination, domestic violence, renting crappy bungalow etc etc.
Then a couple of pages of other peoples experiences, which will in no way be as bad as hers, just to drive home that she has had it worse than anyone.
I have very little knowledge/experience in that area but that line didn’t read correctly to me.
Maybe she’s just done a Buzzfeed “choose 3 desserts and we’ll tell you if you have ADHD” style quiz so she has been tested in all areas NOW. Of course it has come out as severe too.
The 11+ numbers are all those that took the exam from across the borough and beyond its not just for one school either. Southend has two grammar schools across 4 sites.
That’s one truth from our Jackie, she would have sat it in the same place as me a year previously. I was told I missed a place by 2. A friend of mine came in the top 10 but she’s a super smarty pants!
Hi @MrsOgre it was me! I know I'm coming across conspiratorial, but i can feel it in my bones....!!!
