Yeah, isn't it awful that bright working class kids can get a first class education, just as my parents did?https://twitter.com/lucympowell/status/654408662136561664 …
@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

@SecModerns@JuliaHB1 too wide an area . Tonbridge Sevenoaks T Wells. Prep schools feed into Grammars to save fees. Not working class -
@tomgor@SecModerns@JuliaHB1 working class have every chance of getting into grammar as someone from middle class background. -
@trissyboi@tomgor@JuliaHB1 the evidence does not support this statement. -
@SecModerns@trissyboi@tomgor true. middle class kids are more likely to have the advantage of parents who read to them from early age -
@JuliaHB1@SecModerns@trissyboi and can pay fees for prep school
