    Questions to ask people who oppose grammar schools: 1. what kind of school did they attend? 2. what kind of school do their children attend?

        (2/2) Can afford to buy a home in a good catchment area Send their kids to comps but pay for private tutors. Talk about "inequality" a lot.

        that's such a terrible stance to take. You're comparing personal and national strategies as a like for like.

        I oppose grammars. I went to an excellent grammar, I have no children yet - but I'll hopefully be able to send them to comp.

        hopefully. I went to a comp and never considered sending my child privately - until I saw the local school she could get into.

        I think that's the issue - grammars and indies pluck talent out of cohort. Comps should have big investment

        schools have had massive extra £ in past 2 decades but I agree they need more. Results have little to do with money, sadly.

        absolutely. But an excellent education for bright kids is different to an excellent education for average or below average kids

        one problem with grammars is they make decision on kids' potential at a fixed time. Kids develop at different rates

        Glad you didn't feel a failure Phillip, but many 11 yr olds do, especially if Grammars become the norm, as in my time.
