Grammar schoolsNice to hear someone say, "lets drag education up," rather than drag it down. Instead of mixing the selcted 25% cream of able students into the light grey homogenised mix of also ran students, why not add another 50% of highly able students into a higher expectation education system? There are going to be 25% of students who are less academic and possibly do better on practical subjects and sport but about half of students get to university now and need to prepare for a more academically demanding life. The lower ability 25% need the selective education to make the most of their capabilities. The big advantage that grammar school kids gained was growing up away from the clutches of neanderthall bullies. (Of course, the gifted bullies were still there!)
