< rant > (sorry)
I'm imagining they will come unstuck faster than a book shelf put up with NoMoreNails if they are not up to it?
Added to which the child may subsequently be dreadfully unhappy and scared to tell its parents.
Also am pissed off that the only grammar school in our area gets filled up by rich Surrey tossers who can afford a second home here ad move into catchment for their over-coached child's secondary education, thereby leaving the rest of us poor devoners to scrounge around for the pennies to send our child to the best not-free school?
That said, we do not yet know that she has not got in, but we do know that she is easily clever enough, as she walked into our local very selective very academic girls' school UNCOACHED and aced her test.
