Death to the Middle Classes?!

The extreme Left Wing want to abolish private education to prevent the 'unfair' social advantages it brings. What will they do now that the latest research shows that those same Middle Classes, when they actually make a positive choice in favour of their local comprehensive, still come out on top?

Those of us motivated to encourage our children to reach the highest standards will quite naturally take an active interest in the school to ensure the best results. Every parent can potentially be a school governor but a full 57% of this study group had one parent who was or had been a governor. That is a real time commitment and proof of motivation that must influence the child.

The prime factor in personal success on any measure is the degree of motivation involved. The saddest aspect of many state schools is the way that motivation is killed. The dead hand of the state can never stimulate individual motivation while at the same time imposing prescriptive solutions from above.
