Although Im ashamed to admit it, I did attend Newfield school in the lates 90s....it was a bad school then, and from what I hear, it's even worse now!! If I had a choice, I wouldn't send my kids there!! Maybe I just had a bad experience (I was never picked on or anything...I even managed to get good exam results) but in my opinion kids should go to school to learn, not spend half their time listening to the disruptives (who are in their majority), abuse the teachers!!! In my opinion...if your child is willing to learn (but no too willing, as to get bullied), he/she should get ok (not outstanding) exam results. But if he/she is already hanging out with the wrong crowd/displaying signs that they could be a tearaway in the making, then keep them well clear (especially now that Mr Poore - the only teacher who could strike fear into such kids - has left)!!

I know this question has probably been asked (and answered) a million times already, but...what are the best agencies to secure half decent work?!? I'm especially interested in Civil Service/Police Admin work, but have no idea where to start...obviously there must be a 'higher class' of agency (i.e. those that deal with graduates, and have the best contacts)?!?!? I've previously tried to register with Office Angels (because I had heard good things about them) but basically got thrown out of the door by the half-witted receptionist, because I didnt have enough office based experience (never mind the fact that I've been at Uni for the past 5 or so years)!! Any suggestions?!
