Edinburgh Schools Closure

It is the human right of all children to be educated: they are the future of humanity. On a less pompous, more personal level, I'm glad that my own children are now grown up. Three of them attended one of the 17 schools, Firrhill High, luckily before it was rebuilt, otherwise I'd be sick with worry, not just for their physical safety, but because at least one of them would have been studying for Highers and might not have sailed confidently into the adult world as a fully-qualified professional, as all indeed have done. Thank you Firrhill.
