      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.

      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

      Also, if 11 plus applied properly grammar schools would be gilts schools with a few boys

      true, girls were under-represented for their 11+ scores.

      I would love to see the levels of support for 'gender-blind' 11 plus selection for grammars.

      why does it have to be gender blind? Why not select at different ages for boys and girls? Easy solutions.

          Anyway, what is the evidence in favour of returning to selection?

          why not streaming in all comps instead? Streaming allows kids to blossom at different ages (in different subjects)

          cos streaming only works for brightest kids if you have enough for a whole class. Many comps don't. Mine didn't.

          really? My comp had 220 in each year. Why not rank kids in order of ability in each subject & set classes that way?

          Why only select via 11+ ? Why not Common Entrance equivalent at 12+ for later developers?
