      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?

          Why not have all schools good? What about kids who get into grammar school through private tuition to pass the tests? What about the average vocabulary between two 6 year olds from a poor and rich background?

          All children from all backgrounds benefit from good parenting. Unless you send the “talk to your child & read to them at bedtime” police into people’s homes every day, those differences will always exist.

          I went to a grammar school, and there is definitely a case of some children benefit from parenting, some benefit from tuition, some have the natural talent in my experience. I just think there are better ways of social mobility than essentially a logic test at 10 years of age.

          There are. Plenty of other ways to test. And can do so at many different ages.

          Why not change the system to have all schools as good as grammar schools rather than ingraining a split in the system on the basis of an exam? Nobody's ever had an off day on the day of an exam, have they?

          If there's no difference in the education at grammars and secondary moderns, why bother splitting kids? And if there is a difference, how does that square with everyone having the best education possible?

          We’re skint. (We live in Wigan) I’m aiming to send my daughter to private school. Shes smart. I don’t want her pregnant at 16, or pretending she’s a girl from TOWIE getting pissed every weekend. I want her to keep her love of learning. We’re hoping for a bursary.

          I would never stereotype. I just think she’ll have more opportunities at a private school. From what I’ve seen it seems the case

          Oh trust me Ms Hartley-Brewer, I do a darn sight more than you do to help those kids, and I am vehement (as are most of my colleagues) in opposing the expansion of grammar schools. You are welcome to visit my school and I will explain this in more detail to you if you wish.

          In my grammar school class, there was a girl whose Dad was a BP main board director, sitting next to a girl from the local council estate. We all wore the same uniform, were treated the same, & had the same opportunities. It was dismantled years ago, very sad for poorer families

          Exactly. Labour the worse they have a leader who went to a grammar school and his son went to a grammar school but he wants to deny everyone else the choice to do so.

          As a child Corbyn had no choice where he went. His marriage failed when he and his wife disagreed on schooling and he wanted his son to go to the local comprehensive so your argument is mute
