And Truss now touting that "old chestnut" of resurrecting the establishment of more grammar schools. Again wasn't that another flawed idea that was mooted during Johnson's premiership? And lotsa reputable educationalists criticising this proposal as flawed, much like before. I previously compiled a lengthy thread covering the divisive nature of the two tier ed system and how wealthy people invest in their kids' future knowing the benefits they can reap with private school ed compared with the 90%-95% of our kids who are not being privately educated. A good example of this kinda benefit is the hugely disproportionate representation of people who are selected to participate in the Olympic Games - well over 50% who are privately educated and yet they comprise about 5% of all our educated kids!!
IMO there should be equal opportunities for all our kids, not just for the select few. Truss's plan is similar in the fact it favours these select groups of people who see this type of divisive action as providing them with that kinda advantage over the majority of kids who participate in the state school education system. It is fundamentally flawed, unfair and wrong!!
