Boarders. More money than sense.

We have an excellent Boarding School here in Bromsgrove. It is apparently in the top ten UK schools.
It costs around £9000 per term.
It begs the question - Boarding. How hard can it be?

The boarders tend to stay for about 6 years, spend tens of thousands of pounds on tuition and generally leave school no better on the snow than a skier who's been to Bulgaria for one week.

Perhaps it's because their reduced IQ makes it much more difficult for them to learn stuff.

Well done Nudger great deduction, but you have to take pity on them, poor things.

re: Boarders. More money than sense.

The reputation for most UK boarding schools does involve the tutored having to endure an amount of pain, normally in the nether regions... this obviously does allow on leaving to have experience of the true cost physically of boarding, and possibly explains the baggy pants ?

I have also hear of sitting exams! that explains why they are to be found all over the pist on there backsides.

Also taking Steve point, the cold snow could sooth the smarting.

The 'sitting' exam is done as homework.
They are told to go home and sit in the freezer for an hour to practice. Wink

Nudger, excellent post. Made me chuckle......great replies, just wish I could follow up, but as a skier got no experience so my nether region is in perfect condition ;-)

re: Boarders. More money than sense.

Totally agree with you Hilly.

You can put the most stupid & mundane post on here & still get good replies.

For example "Sitting exams" who else would have thought of that. Well done Manc Tom.

Now there's a challenge. Try to post an item that can't get a funny reply.
