@JuliaHB1 Pretty much every state-school kid at Cambridge - myself included- had a teacher for a parent. So they're not complete idiots.

@richardosman I never suggested teachers were idiots, did I? (as a state school kid who went to Oxford, BTW) -
@JuliaHB1 Haha, you KIND OF hinted at it. -
@richardosman nope. I don't believe teachers are the experts on what should be taught or how. If so, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in. - 1 more reply

@JuliaHB1 No one, from any side of the political spectrum, has ever given a good argument against Grammar schools. -

@JuliaHB1 some kids are simply not cut out for school. Why is it so difficult to accept this? -
@antobbo And it just happens to be the kids who go to bad schools who aren't "cut out" for school? What a coincidence! -
@JuliaHB1 I don't think that's necessarily the case. Do you have data proving that?
