I can remember in primary school eating chips with a knife rather than a fork because the dinner ladies would not let us hold forks with the right hand.

Stab the chip, eat it.

Lol, I remember that, but not in primary school but infants. Alhamdulillah they were slightly more chilled at the primary school. And in the infants you were not allowed to leave the table until you finished everything on your tray. Even if it meant a dinner lady standing over you or even feeding you herself! :shock: They certainly were ruthless. I remember loads of kids crying in the dinner hall. Luckily, we rarely stayed school dinners. My little bro went to the same infant school years later and he would cry if he had to stay school dinners.

They both shared the same canteen.

I got out of it by... puking. I was told to have "home dinners" so as not to put others off when I immediately puked food that I did not like.

You two are nuts!

Primary school dinners were AMAZING!!!

Except when we found little metal bits inside the cake one day (the custard masked it though, so it was all good).

Assalamu alaikum,

Of course she converted because Allah guided her but the initial interest came when she heard the adhan. I don't agree with what you said about Allah diverting ppl from islam with hymns. Or my family member converting simply because Allah guided her. Because on this basis if someone left islam, you;d be saying Allah diverted them. You're missing something here Allah gave us a free mind, on judgment day Allah will look at our good and bad deeds why because we had free will to make decisions. Free will is what made this girl think wow this adhan has touched my heart so much, i will go and look into Islam. Then Allah guided her. Free will is likewise what turns ppl away from Islam, or remain in ignorance. Free will is what makes them ultimately follow shaytan, not Allah. This is going off topic a bit sorry.

wasalaam

As for not all schools doing that bad, a quick look at the schools for oldham, quite a few hover near there, some non privates are much better and one even has a good 5 GCSE pass rate of a massive 30%.

Wow really? my school has had a pass rate of over 80% for five GCSE A*-C, for the past three years

You wrote:

Yes, I looked that table thingy. the BEST non-private comprehensive was hovering at 27% I think. Others were closer to 20%.

Private and CoE schools on the other hand were closer to 89/90%.

I'm sure (and by 'sure' I mean 'sure') that is MUCH more to do with the social class of the students being accepted into the schools, than the quality of teaching.

Try looking for a league table that has 'value added' scores on it to see how good the schools actually are.

I was gonna write "freak show", but you may have been offended on behalf of some friends there, so I thought it better to label the school instead.
