King's Rise School in Birmingham is one of the few secondary schools where this kind of punishment took place. There were, however, male teachers who used implements other than canes on girls' bottoms. Several were prosecuted. Among them were Robin Peverett, O.B.E. of Dulwich Preparatory School; John Guise of Helston Grammar School and Colin 'Punishment Kit' West of St. Aiden's School, Carlisle.

Study in the uk,but i return back when school is not in session.Am i classified as a UK Habitual resident?
I am being refused to get married in the uk (family law) because they claim i was 'habitually resident' in the uk for the period of 1 year preceeding to the divorce,even though i went home within the 1 year. How can i contest this decision?

Why do public schools in UK discourage (class 2) pupils from cursive writing
Why do public schools in UK discourage (class 2) pupils from cursive writing?
My daughter goes to class 2 in local school. She is actively discouraged by her class teacher from writing in cursive hand. Does someone know why? I always thought good handwriting should a positive.....is it common to all public schools in England

I don't know but my guess is that it's very difficult to read sometimes because a lot of people don't have good handwriting. So often it's just scribbles and is mostly or completely illegible. I work in registration at a university and the registrations forms we receive that people have mailed in are terrible! This includes those from senior citizens taking community ed, older people coming back to school right thru those just out of high school. Across the board, people just do not write well. I love online registrations!

postpone your holiday. if you choose to resit, you will regret it in november when you are supposed to be working for your ASs, regardless of the cost. If you want to find out though you need to go to the website of the exam board with whom you would be sitting the exam, try looking under independent candidates etc. When I was in yr 11 (only two years ago mind), my last exam was a full week after everyone else had finished bar four of us. It was worth a whole GCSE and I could have blown it off, but I had spent two years working towards it and it just didnt seem worth it. You won't want to be redoing it again I promise. Most airlines will let you change the date of your flight etc for only a small fee.... Think about it.

Top Law school in the UK
Top Law school in the UK?
I'm from Malaysia. I've just finished high school (it's not A-levels here). I took English Language in the national examination. It has a section called 1119 (which is Cambridge marking). The result will be released in March. Moreover, I'm interested in doing Business Law. My questions are: Where should I go? College or University? What colleges and universities would you suggest? What are the requirements? The entrance time? The fees? Do i have to take IELTS? Can I apply for scholarships? (if possible) Thanks in advance.

I can't give specific advice, but a few comments: 1) If you're coming to the UK, you want a university, not a college. Our colleges are generally for 16-18 year olds and teach up to A level, not degree standard. 2) If you want to start in September 2008, you need to hurry. You've already missed the Oxford and Cambridge application deadlines.

yea you can. i'm not sure how it works but i know people who are going to school in Europe after they complete highschool in the US
2 :
Yes, it's possible. In fact, I plan on attending university in England as well.
3 :
Yes you can. Generally. However you will need to be reasonably good academically, and have the money to fund an education over here, as you would be treated as an overseas student (and therefore have to pay full fees). You should also be aware that 4 year degrees in the UK are not very common. 4 year degrees are often either science or technical degrees or"sandwich" degrees with a year's work experience in industry between the 2nd and final years of the degree. Degrees in the UK are not the same as in the US. They are not a general liberal arts education. They are degrees in a specific subject. There is not major/minor system - just a degree in your subject. Students in the UK specialise in the 2 years prior to university in 3 subjects, so where a university states that it requires particular A level, you may need to have an AP in an analagous subject. Best place to look for universities is through UCAS (the central application system). Look on individual university websites for admissions requirements.
