@ChristHeRead extra hours? You mean, working full time like most other families in Britiain?

@ChristHeRead rather big difference between working 5 days a week, 3 days a week and 0 days a week though...

@JuliaHB1@LucyMPowell@NickyMorgan01 you don't know this area of Kent very well , it will be full of prep school kids#feederschools -
@tomgor yes but only because so many people move to Kent just for the grammar schools. Wouldn't happen if one in every neighbourhood. -
-
@jenmandates no, that's what people do NOW because so few grammars, not years ago when everywhere. Try to keep up! -
@JuliaHB1 Unless things have changed hugely in the 5 years since I left a grammar, still rubbish. A few may, 'so many' a gross exaggeration. -
@jenmandates plenty of people leave London to move to Kent or Herts grammar schools

@JuliaHB1 And that Grammar School was stuffed full of working class kids wasn't it. -
@mrpaulorton working and middle class kids, like most grammars. Your point? -
@JuliaHB1 That Grammar schools are for the middle classes. They don't benefit the working classes and do nothing for social mobility. -
@mrpaulorton apart from the very many working class kids (like both my parents) whose lives were totally transformed by them? -
@JuliaHB1 anecdote policy on 1 case study. The rest of the population sank. Selection fails the majority of kids, particularly poorer ones -
@mrpaulorton no, children who failed 11+ didn't do any worse than if there had been no 11+ option. But kids who passed benefited.

@JuliaHB1@LucyMPowell@NickyMorgan01 Provided said bright kids can pass 11+. What of bright kids who fail 11+? -
@Revdavidgray there is no reason why we have to return to old 11+ system. -
@JuliaHB1 So how will new grammar schools select their pupils? -
@Revdavidgray there are plenty of ways to do it that offer more than one opportunity to kids and cut down on tutoring effect.
