Waterloo Road was the worst thing that ever happened to me. All my other investments had worked fine before this place. No one else cared what I used to get them money, nut this school… ridiculous. Don't even get me started on what they did to my son. They completely brainwashed him. Now I'm lucky if I even get a phone call from him once a year.

Maybe it would've been alright if it weren't for Jack. How men like him are qualified to be teachers, I don't know. I've seen monkeys that could run a school better. I mean, he employed staff like Steph Haydock for crying out loud. Anyone mad enough to do that shouldn't be working at all, let alone at a school.

If I could turn back the clock, I would. I would've never set foot in that school, let alone invest in it. I most certainly never would've enrolled my son there. At least one good thing's come out of this experience… I'll know never again to invest in any comprehensive in Rochdale.
