that's why teachers are opposed to grammars. It will expose how bad many comps really are. The bright pupils disguise that.

It was a big moral dilemma for us as comp-educated parents, but I've never regretted it since.

I would never judge another parent's choices. But it frustrates me that I *had* to send my son to faith school.
