Conservative spokesman Damian Green MP is making statements favouring grammar schools. Does he also wish to bring back the 11-plus exam?
The grammar schools are fine for the minority; but the 'system' left the other 80 per cent roughing it at secondary moderns.
Have the Tories ever run a 'Bring Back the Sec Mods' campaign?
Fair competition is a contradiction in terms. But the 11-plus turned unfairness into an art-form. Must do better!
