If Labour think new grammar schools will be so awful for social mobility, why are they happy to allow the existing grammar schools to stay?

Abolishing faith schools makes no sense given their better performance. Give parents a voucher for a school place, poor schools would close.
-
given their better performance? Grammars do even better!
-
Yes Grammars do perform but to argue faith schools should be abolished makes no sense and won't improve outcomes as LEAs struggle with cuts.
-
Makes sense to me! I want as little religion in schooling as possible.

It should be fair selection if boys/girls are separate. They allowed easier pass marks for boys. Otherwise less passed than girls

-
I suspect they will make boys n girls sit separate exams! To give boys more chance to get an exam place. But girls DO out perform

-
Perhaps if we allowed nature to decide. Just allow more girls into grammar schools, that should HELP stop INEQUALITY later JOBS


-
You have to admit that's fair

What's wrong with Faith Schools?!
-
Nothing, they established education for the poor long before the state could be bothered.
