Couldn't be because it has the word "Pink" in it.

It was so sad for the children and others. They were losing their friends - all going to other various schools. I think it's a pity when that it happens. The children get so much more out of small classes, rather than put into such large environments.<BR/><BR/>p.s. I'm back up for awhile, don't know how long I'll stick around. Come visit when you get a chance. Oh, I changed the name of my blog and using my real name (instead of Alice)...somewhat new beginnings.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05289794546080217671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169036.post-43127151063046801382007-07-26T12:45:00.000+01:002007-07-26T12:45:00.000+01:00NOT REALLY ANONYMOUS - IT IS YORKSHIRE PUDDING AGA...NOT REALLY ANONYMOUS - IT IS YORKSHIRE PUDDING AGAIN....<BR/>Cruel is right Dale. After the pain of the closure, the authorities owed it to the people on the ground to make sure they phased out in the most thoughtful way possible. It would be interesting to compare their vision statements and personnel philosophies with what happened at the back end of last week. A school is not a factory or an office building. It is a place where lives were shaped, where children's laughter was heard and a place that -in this case - was the heart of a rural community. The vultures, scavengers and I.T. hyenas could at least have waited till this week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169036.post-6366674558725330602007-07-26T12:44:00.000+01:002007-07-26T12:44:00.000+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Yewlands Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06575050316561350027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169036.post-44526839924800196222007-07-26T10:38:00.000+01:002007-07-26T10:38:00.000+01:00The situation is difficult enough.
