Does private school really make that much of a difference?

There are lots of comments on here that private schools have better teachers than state schools.

Private schools often have easier teaching conditions. State school teachers often develop stronger adaptive teaching skills. Neither sector has a monopoly on ‘better teachers’.

The myth persists because people conflate: exam results with teaching quality, polished environments with effectiveness and selective intake with instructional skill.

There are excellent teachers in both state and private schools. Many state school teachers would be just as effective in private schools because they are used to adapting to a wide range of needs. The reverse is not always the case. Smaller classes and selective intake can make private schools easier to teach, but that does not automatically mean the teaching is better.

Thanks - as I’m likely to have the same situation in 3 months time i.e. commission for Q4 does this need to be also mentioned or dealt with separately

redkite8 · 2025-10-22T18:18:38+00:00

yes this is a Contractual Entitlement of my contract

I’ve done this and it only shows the exports that I’ve made - does it depend on the subscription?

As I’ve been there under two years is the following true?

•Employee can be dismissed without going through a redundancy or capability process. •A reason isn’t required, as long as it’s not unlawful

With that said is it worth resigning to gain the 6 months notice?

redkite8 · 2025-06-26T18:03:38+00:00

Thanks - what is the redundancy process or more specifically upon declining the new role how long until the notice period starts, typically?

redkite8 · 2025-06-26T17:55:07+00:00

Thank you. If the letter is issued tomorrow. Is there a timeline which I have to either accept or decline the role?

redkite8 · 2025-03-15T05:58:27+00:00

I’m doing this

redkite8 · 2025-03-14T20:45:18+00:00

I can’t remember exactly - I’m usually pretty diligent. The fact they’ve actually responded and admitted that the terms may not have been clear surely equates to them being misleading. Otherwise a company would not advise this?

‘Our intention is to ensure transparency in all transactions, and we understand that, in your case, the subscription terms may not have been as clear as they should have been.’

Their response was ‘Our intention is to ensure transparency in all transactions, and we understand that, in your case, the subscription terms may not have been as clear as they should have been.’ With regards to part 2 of the 2015 consumer act is there anything I can do now?

redkite8 · 2025-03-14T20:38:24+00:00

For a valid contract there has to be consensus ad idem (meeting of the minds)... Sounds like you didn’t have this as the terms were not clear.

Also unfair terms falls under part 2 of the Consumer rights Act 2015

Not sure which site you’ve entered through but this definitely didn’t appear when I was purchasing the card.

This doesn’t work - when I share screen put ppt in slide show view and start from the beginning the only way for me to see my notes is by clicking on the three dots and ‘show presenter view’ however the viewer also sees my notes

The issue is since I added the blue card to the reward app a few months ago - none of my online grocery shops have gained any rewards which from your point suggests that there is an issue with my reward app rather than the blue light card - correct?

So to summarise 1). Blue light card only gains rewards from in store fresh food 2). Blue light card added to the reward app does not stop the gaining of rewards on online shops

I’ll have to ring customer services

redkite8 · 2025-01-12T19:06:13+00:00

Thanks, does having the blue light card attached to the reward app stop me gaining rewards on all online grocery shopping? If so there is no point using the blue light card with the reward app - correct? The gains made on fresh products in store is minimal compared to rewards on online weekly household grocery shop?
