I am certainly not suggesting for a moment there is anything wrong with a grammar school education, indeed I would like that standard of education offered and provided to all of our schoolchildren.

I always find comments from ex-grammar school pupils reek of elitism outwood, posts #1 & #5 sort of prove my point. I hated the fact I had to dig really deep to privately educate my brood, it went against all of my principles, but OMG did they get well educated? You bet they did!
