I agree entirely. I attended a state Grammar.

So did I - I think people like to throw this back at you to imply you're a hypocrite, which is absurd. Although I benefitted massively from a grammar school they are enormously socially damaging on the whole, but I was not enough of a nuanced political thinker at 11 to know this

I hope you can also say that Wales doesn’t have private schools known to be the ticket to leading the country with an entitled & classist mentality. The % of Cabinet members show that we’re run by those children, not state schooled ones.

Aren't there private schools in Monmouth

Absolutely, middle class parents whining about the demise of Grammar schools never entertain the prospect that their child might fail the 11+ and end up at a Secondary Modern

I’m genuinely never certain, when I read tweets like this, whether you’re joking. Grammar schools are and always have been a fantastic opportunity for the children of those “middle class”parents who are not wealthy, to achieve academic success and fulfil their potential.

I disagree, rather it is the only fair system. There are two choices: lump everyone together, or sort. Going to a non-grammar school but with my mother working in a grammar, I can confirm the level of education is far superior. I was right to not go as I didn't care.

Once I sat my GCSEs, however, with all the disruption that came with my school, I was eligible to go to a grammer.

I’m Scottish & didn’t know there was a difference. We’re in a grammar catchment & it’s a good school so sense said ‘go there’. I now wish I hadn’t. The level of education/facilities etc are really pretty brilliant but it’s that V conservative vibe it’s got that I’m finding hard.

Grammar schools in Scotland only have that title due to historical context. So to suggest it has a conservative vibe is nonsense. All state secondaries in Scotland are comprehensive and there is no selection other than catchment area.
