Is this the most ridiculous comment, or one of the many, about education ever?

I made it not just from the middle class point of view but also the working class one. A big problem with the grammar schools were they took children from one class and made them unsuited to either class, fishes out of water at both Oxbridge and on the council estate.

Yes, I should have replied on the thread but this deserves a thread on its own. How utterly ridiculous and patronising. And, yes, I went to a gramar.

Hmmm. Is it a comment about education, or class?

But yes, in either case it is not just ridiculous, it is immoral.

Is it just me or is this post unintelligible?

I know where that quote came from sykes and I thought exactly the same thing when I read it

An utterly ridiculous comment IMO.
