BB your posts mislead the readers, I read yr post that all the teachers had left. Thus readers on the forum will think that BSAK have lost their staff.

BB I think you give great input to this forum, some will disagree with me I am sure, and of course sometimes your posts have driven me mad, but in general I am glad you post what you post but sometimes yr use of words can mislead readers of the forum

As one of the most straight forward, coherent posters on here, can I just say IMHO, Bbee is our resident Emo Poster yet to discover the amazing world of punctuation.............
Tis true Bbee provides a lot of information, about 65% of which is de facto, still current and can be relied upon.Again imho.

there go edited

Good luck
You'll find a class size of 30 in UK state schools the rule rather than the exception.
