Massive thank you to @RossKemp for joining me in Clifton this morning. Only Labour will stand up for Nottingham's schools, NHS & Police.pic.twitter.com/l5bR9KK0ew

Is delivering a sub standard education performance your idea of standing up for schools? How about standing up for the kids?
Ooh Twitter spat, can I join? Is more grammar schools UKIP's idea of standing up for kids, or just the ones whose parents can afford tuition

Adam, don't confuse grammar with private! Leave that to labour to say one thing and then educate their kids differently. Focus on output
-
No confusion, it's a fact that children from privileged backgrounds more likely to go to selective schools. Parents have time/money to coach
-
So increase number of grammar and give bright underprivileged kids that same opportunity. Notts needs change if we are not to fail more kids
-
What is failing kids is academisation, teacher workload, overtesting, Ofsted used as a political tool. No evidence more grammars will help
-
Would not contest workload, testing. Doing what we are doing & expecting a different outcome in Nottm is nuts. But no one speaks about it.
