I, for once, am in complte agreement with Lizzie. In fact, I would like to take it a step furter. This wonderful school where one outdated fasion (ties) is replaced with pirate shirts; where 'rubbish lessons' are replaced with good ones (exactly who decided which is which is a hurdle - but one I am sure someone will help us overcome) and where everyone emerges unable to use conventional furniture has a lot going for it. In fact, if we get enough such well thought out lateral ideas we could even get substantial funding from Harringay or Manchester councils. Come the revolution brothers and all teachers, doctors and other such conventional subverters of our children will go to the wall. Worked well enough in Cambodia.

Ooooh. I am all excited now. I feel a song coming on...

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius, age of Aquarius...
