The feeder primary school feeds
the secondary school which feeds
the universities or the workforce.
The feeder primary school is fed by nursery schools
who, in turn, are fed by child minders, nannies or parents and finally
the cradle or the grave.
Such is the feeding chain:
Each school is fed by or feeds another.
Each school is but a source, or consumer, of food, of pupils.
The feeding frenzy of schools upon other schools and upon each other
is the ecology of winners and losers,
victors and collateral damage.
Whilst no-one wants to be fed upon,
we’re happy to muscle into the feeding trough:
slake our appetite on lesser mortals.
