Many such pupils always felt that only the pure academics in the class received all the stars, the brownie points and the encouragement.
My hope is that it has been an opportunity for rational discussion rather than an exercise in merely winning political brownie points.
First, as an employer you will get brownie points, which is very fashionable.
I know that there are few political brownie points to be won by expressing concerns about our prisoners and prisons, especially in the juvenile sector.
It boasted a thriving pack of brownies and guides, cookery, judo, badminton and dancing evening classes and a pre-school playgroup for 24 children.
There is no mileage and no brownie points for brewers, landlords or tenants in creating social problems.
Instead, there is constant unnecessary doom and gloom simply to score a few brownie points in the local government elections.
I also congratulate all those people who are involved in youth organisations, such as the scouts, the brownies, the sea scouts and the venture scouts.
