.@butterheart886 . Perhaps so.The schools now called ‘grammar schools’ are not the equivalents of those which existed pre-1965. Neither our culture in general nor the exam system could sustain such schools, and our diminished universities no longer place serious demands on them. — PolitiTweet.org

@jameshandscombe The Education Department was always very reluctant, when comparisons were still possible, to research the difference between the two systems. When Cox and Marks did so in the early 1980s, comps came off badly. The DES tried and failed to discredit the work. — PolitiTweet.org

1/2 That . @Ichbinmandryka, is why I did not say that. 1. In a country where corruption is endemic, it will always be a pretext rather than a reason for any political action. 2. Yanukovych was voted into power and could have been voted out of it. — PolitiTweet.org
