Genuinely puzzled are they hypocrites .
Dossier so far
Diane Abbott old one now sent het son private
Tony Blair chose a selective faith based education at top school in London when many parents don't get any of their 6 preferences.
Emily thornbury sent hers private.
Jeremy corbyn not only attended a grammar school but also sent his own kids something he said he regret and part of his marriage breakdown.
Anyone know how his kids actually did in later life so they regret their education?
Think shania is an odd one.
Never actually been elected
Always lots to say yet can't stand up to her husband over their son's schooling.
Was bit embarrassing watching her on peston when asked
I think David Cameron kids went state not sure they still do.
I think parents should have choice.
But to reject state selection but afford to send child private selection does seem hypocritical.
So what exactly is labours stance on education
As many mps went grammar or private themselves
The few who went comprehensive seem got into more prestigious ones.
I have to think grammar and ability is fairer than expensive postcode or ability to pay.
Right now education in England is postcode lottery
It's already selective even in non grammar areas.
Private/ faith and couple exclusive comps tiny expensive catchment areas.
Each local authority gets different amounts per pupil.
Education is not a level playing feild as it is.
Maybe we need greater variety
Grammars with 11 13 and 16 entry
Technical schools or studio schools as seem to be called here
Improved comprehensives
Private schools working more with state.
