REASON 22<br />
FREE SCHOOLS, ACADEMIES<br />
AND GRAMMAR SCHOOLS<br />
The conservatives are trying <strong>to</strong> make schools become Academies, allow<br />
more building of Free Schools and set up more Grammar Schools.<br />
I've worked in very many schools over the years and mu own experience<br />
supports the evidence that none of the above are cost effective and none of<br />
the above offer any real equality of opportunity.<br />
What they do achieve is more selectivity, removing opportunity from many,<br />
many young people who either lack resources, lack parental support or just<br />
live in the wrong location.<br />
What Free Schools and Grammar Schools also do is suck massive amounts of<br />
money away from the remaining schools which will of course drive their<br />
standards down thus "proving" that the Free and Grammar schools are doing<br />
better.<br />
The final thing that these schools achieve is <strong>to</strong> syphon public money,<br />
intended for the education of our children, off <strong>to</strong> private concerns.<br />
It is a waste of our money(yours and mine), it is unfair <strong>to</strong> our young people<br />
and it is based on ideology not evidence.<br />
It needs <strong>to</strong> end.<br />
VOTE LABOUR BECAUSE THE PARTY IS COMMITTED TO<br />
STOP WASTING PUBLIC MONEY ON THESE TORY VANITY<br />
