And the 'less bright' kids get to work in factories or pick up poop for a living. Great stuff :thumb:

Which is what they would have achieved anyway without holding the smart kids back.

Horses for courses. Let the bright kids push on and run the country/business, be inventors .........

So what you're saying is you want to determine whether someone gets to become a toilet cleaner or an 'inventor' based on an arbitrary test at age 11.

Did I say secondary schools should limit teaching to toilet cleaning??

Potential can be seen early. There's no reason why kids cant move either way post 11 years old.

Exactly, which is why segregating them is loving stupid.

Even if its only 80% correct its better than the failing system we have now.

You cant hold a generation back for a few late developers

I'm not sure what they teach but i'm sure we will see some great leaders come out the other end in the fullness of time.

Selection by ability a moot point within Labour currently.

Utter balls. Grammar schools merely help the better off. There's plenty of studies and research to back this up. But then I suppose we're in a post-expert age now aren't we.
