Need What Is It And Must You Be Clever Enough To Be Helped?

Anything that doesn't fit anywhere else, but that's still CH related.

I think simply that need in the case of CH is failry easy to answer... 'would the child benefit from an education at CH?' - if the answer is yes, they have need?

I know the boarding schools associaiton spent 2 days discussing this once, and they could not adequatly define need!

I think, Mr Plum, that those who have difficulty spelling "association" have a definite need to be educated at Christ's Hospital.

Does this include those idiots who spell it wrong when announcing the launch of it on the CH Forum, with a big scrolling banner? :oops: :oops: :oops:

Why, of course, Julian! How else did you think you might have been able to enjoy such an estimable education?

Need

Post by englishangel »

Is this the english grammar forum then?

Surely there should be a comma after "Need" in the forum title?

My "need" as the oldest of four children, my father didn't pay any tax and I was streets ahead at school.

I took the 11 plus and got maximum marks, studied for the entrance exam (including trigonometry) and started in 1965.

It was all downhill from there. :roll:

American Newspaper Headlines Contain Lots of Capitals Too.

Anybody know why? There must be some cultural or historical reason.
