@PaulfrYorkshire @NoEducationTax @SteveLawrence_ @katieleeming3 @educationgovuk @bphillipsonMP @RachelReevesMP @hmtreasury @10DowningStreet @pietersnep @poppyeh @nicolawoolcock She has probably taken down her post as she often does when challenged. But she used a piece from the ipaper to add her own thoughts and these were very clear ! These type of comments are probably what appear personal and spiteful to many. I can understand how they feel.

@PaulfrYorkshire @NoEducationTax @SteveLawrence_ @katieleeming3 @educationgovuk @bphillipsonMP @RachelReevesMP @hmtreasury @10DowningStreet @pietersnep @poppyeh @nicolawoolcock As an example private schools not needing the money to fund embossed stationery and private pools. Our school has neither 🤷‍♀️ it feels like she says these things to get support from those who don’t know the real situation and how hard many of these schools work to keep going.

@PaulfrYorkshire @katieleeming3 @NoEducationTax @SteveLawrence_ @educationgovuk @bphillipsonMP @RachelReevesMP @hmtreasury @10DowningStreet @pietersnep @poppyeh @nicolawoolcock I hope so too. But I’m not confident !

@PaulfrYorkshire @NoEducationTax @SteveLawrence_ @katieleeming3 @educationgovuk @bphillipsonMP @RachelReevesMP @hmtreasury @10DowningStreet @pietersnep @poppyeh @nicolawoolcock I understand why parents forced to take their children out of school would view her in this way. She keeps saying she’s only interested in 94%,resulting in people feeling like not all children matter to her. She’s made some “spiteful” posts not fitting of an education minister 😢

@PaulfrYorkshire @katieleeming3 @NoEducationTax @SteveLawrence_ @educationgovuk @bphillipsonMP @RachelReevesMP @hmtreasury @10DowningStreet @pietersnep @poppyeh @nicolawoolcock A looming problem that will be exacerbated by the tax on independent schools sadly 😢 the education tax affects primary, senior and sixth form!

@PaulfrYorkshire @NoEducationTax @SteveLawrence_ @katieleeming3 @educationgovuk @bphillipsonMP @RachelReevesMP @hmtreasury @10DowningStreet @pietersnep @poppyeh @nicolawoolcock Please could you explain what you were meaning then as you’ve confused me 🙈

@PaulfrYorkshire @SteveLawrence_ @katieleeming3 @NoEducationTax @educationgovuk @bphillipsonMP @RachelReevesMP @hmtreasury @10DowningStreet @pietersnep @poppyeh @nicolawoolcock Sadly many at independent schools may leave before 6th form. There are very few state funded grammar schools near us and none close by so the state run colleges will be very popular. I just hope they put the money into them now so that they can cope.

@PaulfrYorkshire @katieleeming3 @SteveLawrence_ @NoEducationTax @educationgovuk @bphillipsonMP @RachelReevesMP @hmtreasury @10DowningStreet @pietersnep @poppyeh @nicolawoolcock Not sure you’ve understood my post. Children are being forced to leave their schools because parents can’t pay the VAT. This is not just in primary schools. My comment was that this is very sad for any child. I didn’t mentioned primary schools.

@NoEducationTax @SteveLawrence_ @educationgovuk @bphillipsonMP @RachelReevesMP @hmtreasury @10DowningStreet @pietersnep @poppyeh @nicolawoolcock So sad 😢

[Amanda wan @AmandaJaneWan]

@katieleeming3 @SteveLawrence_ @NoEducationTax @educationgovuk @bphillipsonMP @RachelReevesMP @hmtreasury @10DowningStreet @pietersnep @poppyeh @nicolawoolcock Agree Katie. It’s so sad that so many CHILDREN have been forced to leave their school and our government don’t seem to care. When will they at least start to acknowledge the damage this is causing to these children. It’s so sad. 😢

[Amanda wan @AmandaJaneWan]

@GaryPello @CharlesHThyme Unfortunately we won’t know the strain until it happens, which if it does will be bad all round and too late for those affected. We certainly haven’t seen the increase in teachers that was promised. Sad for the children. They’re the ones that lose out after all. 😢

[Amanda wan @AmandaJaneWan]

@GaryPello @CharlesHThyme That would still mean the money the government hoped for from VAT isn’t going to go to state schools. Which is why they said they wee doing it. Either way it feels like everyone loses out 😢

[Amanda wan @AmandaJaneWan]

@tinned_toms @CharlesHThyme Yes the graph should not be split really. However the numbers are still 4 x higher than the government said they would be! Each one of those numbers is a child with their own story 😢

[Amanda wan @AmandaJaneWan]

@GaryPello @CharlesHThyme Isn’t this the total number of pupils in independent schools? And so if this number has fallen and it’s a total number then that rules out pupils going from one independent school to another ? If they went to another independent school the total would stay the same wouldn’t it?

@anaboultertv @bphillipsonMP @RachelReevesMP @Keir_Starmer This is just unfair all round. Not one gains from this 😢
