Is anyone wishing they could swap the pass of the 11 plus for a guarenteed place at a nice comp?

I think UMM means she'd rather all schools were good schools and she didn't have to worry about passing the 11+ or living in the right area.

Sorry I'm a bit confused. Would you rather she went to the local comp or the grammar?

Because its a chance at a decent school, if I hadnt of then it would the 22% not including english and maths thats close to us.
I am pleased she has passed BUT I would happily swop with someone who was desperate for a grammar place.

Why did you enter her then?

Because the comp seems more right dd, at the moment. But we are nowhere near the comp and the grammar is close.
And because I thought she wouldn't pass and she has, and I feel id happily pass up the place she will take up at the grammar for a secure place at the comp.

Why would you specifically want to?
