Sch.10 Summary of an interview with a marrried couple regarding the education of their children at a non fee-paying local authority school, female interviewer, 1962
Scope and Contents
The couple are very enthusiastic about Craigmuir School and Mr Speirs. They think school outings are important because it helps teachers and children get to know each other. Female INTVEE is quoted as saying: "I find the television most educational. There's a lot of interesting things on it". Both INTVEEs feel their eldest son didn't get into Ferrantis because he went to Ainslie Park: “It has nothing to do with education. Our children are just as well educated, but the name of the school does make a difference at an interview". They would like their daughter to become a comptometer operator.
