Fortunately Cornerstone have the policy that 'Jesus wouldn't be happy if we only let rich people send their children to our school' so we are fortunate that, as we aren't rich, we are just about able to send the children there. They also have a decent reduction for each subsequent child. I think if we had a 4th child hiding in a cupboard here it would go free!

There's a reason for that...& a reason she's such good friends with her Irish mates; their Head is refered to (behind his back, naturally) as *Hitler*. Ditz has been taught to be kind & most of our locals just don't get it that she isn't mean.Ganeidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17476109171650258810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7519085893920969234.post-78911743168131722952008-08-27T12:11:00.000+01:002008-08-27T12:11:00.000+01:00Thanks for that Grandad Hojo, I knew you wouldn't ...Thanks for that Grandad Hojo, I knew you wouldn't be able to resist :o)<BR/><BR/>And, Cornerstone, we like the way it resembles the Church of England schools the children attended in the UK, the caring side of things, the ethos if you like. They are a little right wing but we are finding the local school an eye opener in many ways and are keen for the children to get back to a quieter, more formal setting, there is a fair choice of school in Busso, at least three different church schools plus several local schools and a high school and a college. I hope Cornerstone fits better than the local school as lately Marisa has been miserable. Fraser is also finding it hard to fit in, we are told he is too nice! The other children don't know what to make of him. Kristian seems to be learning to run wild, which we are not happy about. <BR/>We shall see.....The HoJo'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04535973575442294099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7519085893920969234.post-895137088035369102008-08-26T12:17:00.000+01:002008-08-26T12:17:00.000+01:00It wouldn't be kind to mention mad cows....;D Gue...It wouldn't be kind to mention mad cows....;D Guess at least they're not mad pigs.<BR/><BR/>Cornerstone looks cool.
