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?
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.
-
ultimately I would like everyone to have an excellent education unrelated to their parents' situation
-
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
-
yes, but can solve that my having 12+, 13+ and 14+ too.
-
I can imagine how beneficial that would be...especially to the dregs left at 15
-
dregs? That's your view of children, not mine. Not everyone is bright enough for grammar school. Get over it.
