A (teaching!) colleague recently promoted a fee-paying school to me. I told him I'd rather my kids had the best education, which for me meant them being alongside a diversity of peers, not just the rich kids of parents who don't want their kids hanging out with the poor. Cue awkward silence!

A nearby secondary fee-paying school boasts of high academic achievements. Students are segregated into a 'higher' or 'lower' stream from Day1. Expulsions are common. Parents can all afford grinds. I hear of miserable parents/students. My dad went there. I won't be sending my kids there.

Collison owns a 2,500m2 home within 4,000,000m2.

Average Irish home <200m2.

I admit this is an ad hominen agrument as to why he should not have so much space. But sometimes in life, ad hominen arguments are entirely appropriate!

Ah yes! That makes much more sense. Kevin Lynch seemed like a decent egg, while Colin Rowe.....less so!

Any truth to the story that Kevin 'Image of the City' Lynch poured a drink down her back at a party?

Any truth to the story that Kevin Lynch poured a drink down her back at a party out of professional jealously?

A fellow tutor once tried, and failed, to get Gove's Schools for the Future policy on the precedent list for our (Dublin based) architecture students. Not excellent, but worth of analysis?.

...aside from that, Frank Barnes' Swiss Cottage School for the Deaf is a fav UK 20th school of mine.
