Why are so many of the Primary Schools in the South East of England closing down?
396110
the number of births in the last 10 years has decreased, less babies growing into kids to go to school, therefore less schools required.

No. Almost 100% of such companies have closed down.

Because there are not a lot of them left...

NO because kids already have way too much time off from school. How can they learn if the school is closed??\n\nI'd expect a question like this to come only from a child who hated going to school.

It's really happening.  A lot of people in this country place no value on education anymore, not to mention that many schools are atrocious.  Also, look at our culture - huge divorce rate, undisciplined children, continuously lowering standards, I could go on and on.  I run a business where I have to deal with the public every day.  What I see scares me.  Incidentally, the school district in my city thinks that having 67% of the students reading at grade level is good.  That is the mentality.

Don't go there! The name is false advertising!!!!! Keep closer to civilisation.\n\n Don't think there is a secondary school in town though. Naas or Newbridge will be the closest

If you want peace and quiet, combined with a cosmo environment, your best bet is to move to the South Coast - around the smaller 'towns' such as Shoreham-by-Sea, Worthing, Crawley or Horsham.  You have the peace, less crime, good schools, yet you are still close to the city for those all important shopping trips.  It is beautiful.  I used to live in London - once you live down on the coast (not forgetting the kids enjoying themselves especially in the summer), you never look back!

schoos do not have enough funds to provide proper supervision in secondary schools.

Cuckmere Haven, a few miles outside Eastbourne is perfect and used for a lot of school geography field trips. You can get right down to the water's edge to study the erosion and deposition up close; there's also a hill right next to the river which you can climb for a 'bird's eye view' of the site. \n\nvery easy to get to by bus from either Brighton or Eastbourne.\n\nI have some photos somewhere, if you want them email me.

Goodness, I wouldn't like to hazard a guess but I do know that there are quite a few...some still lived in and some in ruins...some set up as tourist attractions which completely ruins them.\n\nMany of them are under the protection of The National Trust and English Heritage.\nhttp://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/\nhttp://www.english-heritage.org.uk/

It's because some of these people are only 9, 10, and eleven.  It just goes to show you how the school system is failing our children.

Because the NHS is rubbish!!!\n\nSeriously though, I think the NHS is slowly going down the drain. Having said that, the manager of our TSSU was sacked with no notice last week because they couldn't afford to keep her on. It was between her and our theatre manager, but because our theatre manager has worked for longer, she got kept on. Its really scary being at work at the moment, because you never know if you're gonna have a job when you arrive in the morning.

Most of those kids have NO CLUE as to the reason they are walking out of school.   They simply desire to get out of as many classes as possible.   \n\nAlso, it was noted by many teachers on Friday that the kids that left school were the ones who had the lowest grades!!\n\nTHEY DON"T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!!

Because our schools are in such bad shape that kids are graduating who don't know how to read and can't do basic math.  It's an attempt to bring some meaning back to a high school diploma.

1. I think you may already be too late ...\nBBC News Wednesday, 10 March, 2004 \n"A project in Cornwall which helps families struggling with a domestic crisis by providing free furniture and clothes is facing closure. The Deborah Community, based at St Austell, has helped parents who have fled violent relationships and people who have been in prison or homeless. Its headquarters is being sold by the Methodist Church because it is unsafe." \nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/low/uk_news/england/cornwall/3498060.stm\n\n2. All it took was a simple internet search

As this year the 11th fell on a Saturday, my children who are 12 and 8 and I observed the 2 minutes silence outside tescos whilst selling poppies.  I could not believe people were still trying to buy poppies during that time.  I had already told the children to ignore anyone who tried to speak to us.  I was accused of being rude, when I explained what we were doing they still said I was rude. Tescos did announce the silence, but many customers did not join in, cars and buses still drove past.\nI think the nation should stop.  When my 83 year old mother was a child everything and everybody stopped, the country came to a complete stand still, but there again war was still very fresh in peoples minds.  The silence is not just for veterans of the world wars but for all military killed or injured on active duty, as they still are today.
