I hear many stories like this. In most parts of the country there is a disparaging name, in the comps, for those who show too much interest in study. .@holydisrupter — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 .@bobharrisonedu The paper to which you direct me concerns the rump ‘grammar schools’ besieged by middle class parents in well-off areas,using a low-grade comprehensive exam system;My concern is with a national system that selects by ability rather than wealth,as you prefer. — PolitiTweet.org

.@bobharrisonedu. Give your researched, testable evidence. My impression is that anti-grammar campaigners have spread the idea because it’s the only remaining excuse for the comprehensive disaster of low standards and selection by wealth. You should read Dick Stroud’s book. — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, .@targett_chris It comes early enough to rescue the bright child from a poor home, struggling in a bad school. By 16 , class privilege has irrevocably kicked in. This is why the fanatics never banned selection by 6th form colleges or universities. Too tough a fight. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 . @bobharrisonedu .@melissa_benn. If you bothered to read or listen to me you’d know that I prefer German-style assessment to the 11-plus (actually. I think 13 is probably a better age). Don’t mix up the principle of selection by ability with the methods used to achieve it. — PolitiTweet.org
