«Breaking News» The devious methods parents use to get their first choice school

Pushy parents are claiming their children have hay fever or conjunctivitis to get them into the best state schools, it was reported last night.

The ‘special consideration’ requests even include a need to go to school with friends or be close to grandparents.

But social mobility charities warn that claiming dubious medical or social needs is ‘the latest tactic by tiger-like parents who’ll do anything to secure that coveted school place’.

Parents are anxious to get their children into schools which offer greater opportunities 

This academic year, parents submitted 4,600 applications to schools in 60 local authorities using the special considerations criteria. These applications have increased by 58 per cent since 2014, The Times reported.

On average, 10 per cent of applications for exceptional medical or social needs were granted. Approved requests included for sufferers of cystic fibrosis and spina bifida, victims of domestic violence and those whose parents had died.

But unsuccessful applications included reasons such as enjoying a particular sport, a desire to attend the same school as close friends and closeness to a parent’s work location.

Lee Elliot Major of the Sutton Trust, Britain’s first professor of social mobility, said: ‘It’s the sharp-elbowed middle-classes who game the system.’

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
