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.
-
no, I'm pointing out the personal hypocrisy of many of the people who oppose grammar schools but make sure they bypass comp system
-
I don't think its hypocritical to get the best for your child while also wanting the system to help as many others as possible.
-
no, if you think selective schools are wrong as a policy for everyone, you can't then send your own child to a selective school
-
they pay into the system then spend extra on their child's education. Not like they opt out financially. They prerogative
-
we ALL pay into the system. Only some can afford to buy their way out of its consequences
-
'it's consequences'?

I don't recognise that at all...interesting. My parents both oppose - mum passed 11+, dad didn't. All 3 of us went to a comp.

my tweet says "often".
-
I know, that's why I said it was interesting, and not my experience, not "wrong"!

Are we missing the point? What is really needed is a 1st class education for EVERY child, protected from party political dogma.

I went to a comp but I'm still opposed to writing off 11 year old children's life chances for not passing 1 test.

@Gran_in_Suffolk or perhaps they are just people who"failed" their 11+ and were sent to mediocre secondary modern schools!
-
don't assume Grammar is superior to Sec Mod or Comp.
