what is funny about the rich being able to provide better education, by paying , than what state school kids get?

What relevance does this have to a debate on grammar schools?

They just care more Junky, poor parents dont care. Also according to thm its the wealth of the parents that somehow automatically makes them better at school.

Remember...the money is mine!!

Aren't teachers meant to be able to quote accurately - or is that just for humanities?

SFA to do with wealth as the stats show, it's the attitude of the parents that counts most.

SFA to do with wealth as the stats show

So rich parents have a more positive attitude? Does this factor out weigh income or private education?

I always thought grammar schools were a good idea. You pay a bit up front and get something between a comprehensive and public school.

Exactly, grammar schools are effectively a way of using public money to fund private schools.

tbf you could argue it either way. They're cheaper than public school but may offer better standards or more discipline than a comprehensive.

But only really to those kids whose parents can afford the extra coaching required to pass the entry exams.

Publically funded social exclusion and entrenchment? No thanks.

For starters we need to get away with this obsession with everyone doing high paid jobs. For a society to work you need people to do the basic jobs that keep society working. Cleaners, builders, postmen, dinner ladies, etc, etc. Now I agree that these people should all get a decent and wage. This obsession of high value, high wage jobs is silly as in the scheme of things only every a small % of the population can do them as there will never be that many. We need to take the technical trades more seriously like in Germany and make many of them a skill level as equal to a degree. We might then actually have some plumbers and builders that know how to use modern building practices and materials.

Going back to Grammers if the powers at be really do think thay are a benefit for society then role them out nation wide and make sure all the non grammers schools are just as amazing. If they don't role them out nation wide then they can't be all that important or beneficial.
