TSSC do pay a fee to schools that send the froms out via children
how much depends on the information received, yes/no & if the parents decide to go ahead
hard sell-well the salesmen/women need to learn a script which runs to a lot of pages
commission only, no sale no earnings, wasted evening, petrol etc
TSSC have got to keep the schools onside as it's their main source of income
Cancellations may also take place after the cool-off period...
IMHO there is a bit of a whifff of .......... on both sides, parents & salesmen; the 1st should ask more questions and a breathing space, the latter don't always act in the parent's/children's interests although they may dress it up that they have...not forgetting the schools allowing access @ the start
another point is that again IMHO teachers don't always tell the truth at parent meetings, how often do you hear 'as well as expected' 'she's doing fine' or some other bland statement?
TSSC tests might then show the child is sadly lacking hence the need-then teachers reject the need for the program because 'the child doesn't need it' or is it because failings in the system have been exposed - raw nerves all round?
question:
why did klingon remove his remarks-did he realise he had done something illegal-filming without consent?

any idea when this article is likely to appear? I'm going to setup a meeting with the head at my child's school and an article in a national newspaper would certainly make it easier to complain.

Seanie: My criticism was an attempt to get the LEA to look again at its involvement in allowing the use of the schools and headteachers to market their material, rather than a simple complaint. I made my report on the sales visit as previously given in this thread, and have not seen or heard of any further marketing by the Student Support Centre on Anglesey since then.
Best regards from over here to over there!
