Any substantive comments on the issue of replacing PHS?

[Scoop]

[seanie]

Well you're half right.

I note that you didn't answer my question.

[seanie]

Er...parliament? They do have some powers when it comes to what is and isn't legal.

Is this news to you?

Now, why didn't we all think of that. Hope you are off to the meeting tonight Epykat. With a plan like this you will be star of the show.

[Epykat]

Thanks Rosa, but unfortunately I can't make it. What's your Plan B?

[wangi]

SAVE THE TOWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Epykat]

Nice to have you on board Wangi!

Commander- your idea is starting to come together. Please could you draw us a skip load of gold bullion and we can get to work.

[wangi]

admin: a few posts were removed: please refrain from pointless bitching - thanks

[Porty]

Should we ask Commander to draw us two skip loads of gold bulllion?

Refurb on the other hand wouldn't take two skips of gold bullion seeing as how the foundations and structure are already there. Positive Porty!

" Could there maybe be a wee bit snobbery creeping in here in a 'schemey tower block' kind of way?"


Yeah. come on Epykat, we've come to expect more from you than this

Epycat said : "And what exactly is this 'a school for the 21st Century'?"

Well I would have thought for a start it would include 21st century technology, science and music labs.

Sorry Doris - having problems editing!

Still don't think snobbishness has anything to do with it. Most people would, and do fight tooth and nail to get what they believe their children are entitled to and deserve. A refurbished PHS wouldn't fulfil either. Snobbishness just doesn't come into it.

[Epykat]

But if you don't get what you think your children are entitled to, what then?

[Betty Windsor]

If a refurbed tower can provide everything a new build can (including access to two GRASS pitches up the road in Porty Park) what objection could anyone actually have to it except that it is a tower?
Maybe we're now getting to the real issue-some parents just don't want their kids going to school in a tower block. I think this refurb could be fantastic and if we could engage the young people in some of the playground design, all the better. This idea (for me at least) is looking more and more "viable" and actually quite exciting.

No-one is interested in your consolation prizes. Our kids deserve better than that.
