    If you’re *genuinely* angry about how few working class kids get into top universities & top professions, as I am, then you should support the expansion of grammar schools so poorer kids can get the high quality academic education they need to get into those institutions.

        Otherwise, you’re just a class warfare bullsh*tter who doesn’t really want to do anything to help those kids. You’d rather keep them “in their place” so you can keep complaining about The System. Why not change that system instead?

        🤦🏼‍♀️ Each year, enough comp kids already get the grades needed to go to Oxford they could fill it several times over. No grammar expansion needed.

        working in a comprehensive in a grammar borough, our top achievers come to us thinking they're stupid. Sometimes we can't ever reverse that misconception. Such wasted potential. Of course we can do more at our school, but still. Why not grammars for all?!

        Because grammars are about selection. If you select everybody, then you aren't selecting. Which would be good, because selection disadvantages already disadvantaged groups.

        Completely agree. And I think the data also shows this. But everyone deserves high standards, high expectations, and a challenging curriculum.

        Bollocks. Grammars just allow a better education to middle class kids. Well off parents pay for extra tuition so they pass the 11 plus. It does little for working class kids.

        This report appears to say (correct me if I’m wrong, I’m reading it intermittently on the tube) that grammar schools are of some use to kids who attend them but of no use to those who don’t

        It says as much. But that also reinforces my point that entry exams can be gamed and working class kids don't pass them and so benefit from Grammars. So the evidence that grammars give a leg up to poorer kids is sketchy at best. I generalise BTW.

        If you are genuinely interested in education, then find out about recent research suggesting that selection by ability widens attainment gaps. It further disadvantages already disadvantaged groups.https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/berj.3321 …

        Everyone forgets the 11+ "failures", the ones who believed they were destined for manual work because of a test they took at 11. I met so many via OU study. Clever people, let down badly. My ordinary Comprehensive sent so many "working class" kids to Uni.

        You are a failure if you fail the 11+(or 12+ in my case). That is how you feel when you are given the results and that feeling never goes away.

        No, you are not! I “failed” it too- but when one door shuts, another opens. Don’t let the B’s grind you down! Especially not the snobs who value pieces of academic paper above skill and intelligence.

        Being told you are not good enough to go to the most highly regarded schools in your area you are a failure, sorry but that's the truth. And that never leaves you. I agree with you about other kinds of intelligence and skill but why separate people at 12?

        What’s wrong is the value system: “highly regarded” schools=“academic”=preparation for white collar. Others not “highly regarded” just because not focused on preparing for white collar. Attitudes rooted in late Victorian/ Edwardian class system, not merit or worth

        What's wrong is an education system that's based on a career, not careers! We need to stop peoples education focus narrowing so early in their lives. Most people are more than capable of excelling in both vocational and academic education at different stages of their life.
