INTVEEs are critical of the educational system as it does not guarantee a place at a good secondary despite going to a fee-paying local authority primary. They think their eldest had been cut off from higher education at 15 and are disappointed that children from outside the local area can take up places. They believe fee-paying schools should be abolished and replaced with a large comprehensive. Their youngest child was sent to Trinity Academy from an early age in order to avoid going to Ainslie Park secondary. They have praise for Mr Murchison but think much of his time is taken up with authority problems, one of the INTVEE’s is quoted as saying, "with boys in leather jackets and jean and girls with extraordinary clothes". Includes discussion of male INTVEE’s family history and his career in the railways. He is quoted as saying, "unfortunately one's child is an individual and they have their own capabilities and characters, I feel we owe them every encouragement, you cannot put old heads on young shoulders".
