Overheard at the LFGSS golf club bar

Given what's been happening in this thread the last couple of days... yes.

Probably about as much as anyone cares about your suboptimal consumer experience shared elsewhere on the forum recently...

It's excruciating. Does anyone genuinely give a flying fuck about anyone else's school experience?

I'm genuinely puzzled by this post. I appreciate you went to school in another country and that you don't have kids but, given the issues you post so passionately about, I'm surprised that your two comments on the issue have been so dismissive. There are very few things that lead to social injustice and inequality, or the ongoing control a minority exert over our lives, more than an education system that gives the children of those that can afford it a huge leg-up in life and limits the chances of those who most need it. It's something I thought you would care about.

Perhaps you don't like the way the conversation is going, but it's reasonable and inevitable that people will be talking from their own experiences. If you don't care or don't like it, put it on ignore and go and shout about something else.

It's excruciating. Does anyone genuinely give a flying fuck about anyone else's school experience?

Yes, it seems that for many years people have been fascinated by the traumas of other people's education.
