These schools are under the patronage of Educate Together.

I'm staying put though.. I guess I must be a navvie then. Here's a balanced article on nurture versus nature.. http://wilderdom.com/personality/L4-1IntelligenceNatureVsNurture.html Twins separated at birth have even been studied.. not one of them turned out to be a donkey. I wonder is arrogance an innate characteristic or is it just nurtured. And as far as I'm aware emigration doesn't affect anyone's genes. I guess if enough of the brightest and best leave.. eventually I won't be able to tie my shoe laces. :) I can emigrate if I want to William.. I'm staying put though.. I guess I must be a navvie then.
