    I went to a comp but my parents, both working class, went to grammar schools and then uni. It changed all of our lives for the better.

        only issue is grammar schools cant be allowed to be a 'cheap' alternative for wealthy kids instead of private schools

        Many people no longer had a grammar school option after the champagne socialists pulled the ladder up behind them and shut schools

        The focus should be on raising general educational standards and not on perpetuating grammar school elitism.

        I'm not against GS but the 44 Butler Act was aimed at good education for ALL pupils. If 20% to GS we need opportunity for the 80%

        I went to grammar which changed to comp half way through. The good teachers left and the school & students suffered massively.

        But grammar schools are not the issue here, Julia. Secondary moderns are.

        the @OpenUniversity provides excellent education for those wanting to improve themselves. But 4x increase in module feels not good
