We live in a town where there are three very good grammar schools that require an 11+ exam pass to attend.
AIBU to think that you should only be able to apply to attend these schools if you live in the actual town itself, or its' outlying villages? We have been visiting these schools over the past few days and have met pupils who come from 20 or 30 miles away to attend school.
Why can't these pupils attend their local schools? Why should they be filling up much needed spaces in our own town schools? If you want to attend a school in our town, then surely you should live in our town?
AIBU?
