No, the main problem is that not enough state schools teach pupils up to the level needed for Oxbridge. https://twitter.com/toadmeister/status/676041374349860864 …
@MichaelLeam @Fox_Claire @cijane02 no, if you compare the work being done in average comp and top private schools, comps are YEARS behind.

@JuliaHB1@Fox_Claire@cijane02 Comparing an average one with a top one? -
@MichaelLeam@Fox_Claire@cijane02 top state schools aren't comps, they're grammar schools. -
@JuliaHB1@Fox_Claire@cijane02 As someone who went to a grammar and has taught in a state I know you're wrong. -
@JuliaHB1@Fox_Claire@cijane02 There is excellent teaching and 'well read' kids in all sectors. Can't make sweeping statements like yours -
@MichaelLeam@Fox_Claire@cijane02 of course there are but the country's top schools don't include many comps. Why not if all so good? -
@JuliaHB1@Fox_Claire@cijane02 Different argument. Point is well educated state school kids more than match for privately educated peers -
@MichaelLeam@JuliaHB1@cijane02 agree but not enough of them. That is where this convo started. Qu is why? Is it state sector's failure? - 3 more replies
