I remember when, 20 years ago or...I hear that tris. I remember when, 20 years ago or so, going for up for interview at a well-known English university (whose name starts with O), I met some, well, "competitors" I suppose they were, from Scotland. I also remember the frustration of realising, after speaking to them for a bit, that they were far more well-educated than English-state-school nobody me. Not necessarily brighter (although most of them easily were), just more knowledgable, and comfortable in the knowledge of that fact.<br /><br />Having worked in the profession one way or another since then, the Scottish state education system (and Northern Ireland's, though that's now under attack), I know first hand, was/is widely regarded as the Union's Gold Standard.<br /><br />No wonder you're proud of it. You've every right to be. I'm just envious - still!<br /><br />And I know how you've protected it for so long. You export all your corrupt Scots Labourists and socialists south so you can just get on with things without interference from them over the wall.<br /><br />Cunning, that ;)Jon Lishmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07272058035800593800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278366793340877738.post-5555548524510603812010-04-13T19:08:30.466+01:002010-04-13T19:08:30.466+01:00Thanks goodness they have nothing to do with Educa...Thanks goodness they have nothing to do with Education in Scotland.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
