http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2011/apr/12/private-schools-conversion
Summary:
A lot of Private Schools in the UK are in the line to get the Free School Status. Head teacher Derek Cassels of the Maharishi School in Lancashire is keen to share the experience of their special (expensive) Private School: “"We would like as many people as possible to benefit from our system of education, children from all backgrounds. We want to expand and not have people miss out because they can't meet the fees”. Nevertheless, there are a lot of people against the government’s plans. They a particularly worried about the future of state schools.
Reaction:
I thought it was an interesting article. Sometimes a little bit difficult to read because of the language used. But it is still an interesting subject to read about. The writer asks both arguments of people agreeing and disagreeing with the subject, that gives an honest image of the subject. It has a strong picture to go with the article. A clear outline to get more structure into the long article.

I think it is a good and interesting news article. Apart from the Kenyans who set the records, they interviewed a lot of special people, ranging from celebrities to normal people who got married during the race. They used good photos and movies to go with the article. They also mentioned funny facts, like the 28 Guinness World Records that were set on the 17th of April, the fastest man juggling and the quickest marching band.
