34 Reasons to Vote Labour

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