They don't want oiks competing with their kids.<br /><br />With comprehensives you have selection by house price. So they can have a nice bien pensant enclave with a good school without the horror of admitting they want segregated education.Disenfranchised of Buckinghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11989290766873050732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-86775687069931603432013-01-18T05:36:49.355+00:002013-01-18T05:36:49.355+00:00"Great discredited leftwing ideas of our time...<i>"Great discredited leftwing ideas of our time number 1..."</i> <br /><br />One hell of a long list!<br /><br /><i>"Not all leftists believe the Grauniad position."</i> <br /><br />That's one writer at Harry's Place.

It can be in no way interpretted that he was ensuring not very bright (but very well trained) privileged children did not have to compete with the oiks from the grammar schools.
