Businessideas:
How does it change the fact that most of the top UK schools are independent Schools and the fact that these top schools are not free like you want some people to believe

Businessideas:
You don't know jack about these things you are writing about so I advice you to be humble enough to learn. You don't know CIS, you don't have a child there, you are now running them down because you can't afford their school fees.
Find out about the school, the expatriates and wealthy Nigerians who send their children to CIS are not as dumb as you think.
You are making the same mistake you did with wrong categorization of UK schools.
O ga o!!

EMIOMOADEOYE:
Its a very big shame that this is even being talked about.

A Poor man will always reason like a poor man.

Do you think all that fees is just for education only. If that is your thought, then you truly have a poor man's mentality.

First of all, these schools are not in the league of the average schools you see around.

In addition to the educational inputs, parents are also paying for the opportunity to rub shoulders with the high and mighty.

For these parents its not really about the fees. Its the oppourtunity to network.

Imagine my son or daughter in Day Waterman, or Greensprings or the Grange. It means I would likely come in contact with someone in the mold of a Dangote or and an Ovia or a Soludo or an Emefiele or even a Buhari sef. Tell me if I run into such people in PTA meetings or while going to drop my kids, do you not think that is a window of oppourtunity.

Does that oppourtunity compare with the fees I am paying knowing that I can use that influence to my child's advantage at some point in his future?

This kind of reasoning is the same reason why a lot of people will never get out of poverty

Businessideas:
Don't let anyone deceive you, The bolded are not top independent schools like Harrow, Eton, Woldingham, SevenOaks, Cheltenham ladies etc.
Children or parents who send their children to the top independent schools or CIS are not on this Nairaland forum.

wayodude:
In England Public schools are held in higher regard than private schools.

Businessideas:
See your ignorance everywhere on your post because you are not humble enough to learn. You don't know and you are forming that you know makes you a danger to everyone around you. There are top schools in the category of those two schools and are even more expensive than those two schools. I am sure you don't know that is why you called those two schools Cambridge and Oxford.Stop contradicting yourself by saying that they are free and are the same. You're calling the school a scam because you're not rich enough to send your children there or your parents are not blessed enough financially to send you there.
Quit hating.British education is not like Nigeria education, they have more exams boards and the standard requirements and cost of registration and accreditation for each board varies, the expensive and premium boards ones are mostly patronized by the top independent schools, I am sure that at that fee CIS is charging, they will be on those premium elite exam board. It's then like bringing the top independent schools in the UK to Nigeria which caters to the need of expatriates, rich and wealthy Nigerians mostly resident in that part of the country. That is why CIS is not in your village or outskirt suburbs where people like you live

sinizia:
That thing is a troll, an aberration and a curse upon this thread. Please, let's stop reading, talk more of quoting his posts. Pay it no mind.

Businessideas:
Which British are you talking about? Please read and stop disgracing your teachers. Eton is free? Sevenoaks is free? Harrow School is free? Cheltenham Ladies is free? Search for top schools in England and find out which one is free. None of the top schools in England is free and they are called independent schools(private schools) like we have in Nigeria.The free schools are the Yeye Yeye government run public schools like most countries have.

Businessideas:
Olodo everywhere. CIS doesn't do WAEC!!! This school is a top flight premium school and they offer purely British curriculum and exams are paid for in pounds sterling.You must think schools like American International School take your watery WAEC too

raumdeuter:
This case it looked like the police woman was trigger happy and shot the man without any justification. Its difficult to ban guns in a country like US. Its easier in UK because one UK is an island, No Mexico down south where people can smuggle in guns also the size of the US makes it impossible forpolice to cover every blade of grass. Thus you need to have a means to protect yourself

raumdeuter:
I have been very busy and not followed the news but there is a possibility some police are really going out of their way to kill innocent people

From what people are posting on social media it looks like this is an unprovoked shooting and I heard the Tulsa police woman had a prior record of discrimination

Lets see how the investigation goes

Gorre they said was a former Man utd academy player so maybe his heart is still at the club.. Some changes needs be done in the second half.

nateevs:
I believe that's where our argument comes from - the unconscious desire for young players to be 'special'. Not every kid from the academy is going to be a Rashford or a Messi on their debut; take the world by storm, make a big announcement and go on to super stardom thereafter.

In reality, 95% of young players are expected to be the "in-betweeners" - right inside the spectrum of special and utter dross. Most of them are expected to come in and just do the basics right. Take your chance, look decent, don't look out of place, don't make stupid mistakes, don't overplay and do not be lazy. Shikena!

With hard work comes consistency. With talent along with the confidence derived from the support, you get set apart from your peers. However, there has to be a system in place that allows you to come in and "do the basics right" in the first place; rather than current expectation of being 'special' out of the blocks.

This in reality means that a handful of spots is kept specifically in the team, for young players. They will be allowed to come in and make mistakes but ensure they learn from it. Some will grab the chance, most wouldn't. Some will dash out straight out of the blocks but most you will have to persist with.

What is certain, is that we will never find out what could be, if that initial chance and persistence is absent. Without this system, we will continue to go round in circles on this topic
