A selection

cry - but little evidence that it is good for social mobility

by conservatives and the right of the press, public schools are selective policy of zombies - that works regardless of the number of attempts should be buried. The return of the undead in The Sunday Telegraph this weekend, which reported that nearly 30,000 children have been competing for 56 places grammars.

Zombie

footprints marked the first page of the Daily Mail last week that -. While accurate reporting on the contents of a speech by Michael Gove, raising a single mention of grammar in the first paragraph of your story

They cited a speech in which Gove said some schools "offer children the opportunity to transcend the circumstances of his birth, such as grammar schools in the past has undoubtedly given a smaller proportion its predecessors, the same opportunities. "

far, ministers have resisted pressure to extend the selection within the state system. It is true that schools specializing in math has announced the fall to select students - but 16 to 18, and its quite normal for a school in the sixth has a minimum requirement of entry. The London Academy of Excellence, a new school high school supported by a group of private schools, it takes five GCSEs at grades A

But the government refused to support the amendment of an assistant curator of education law, calling for private schools are allowed to select pupils on ability, even if converted to become academies

The new admissions code gives more freedom for good schools - including grammars - to increase. However, the law introduced in the first Blair government remains unchanged, and no new high school opened.

the screams of the zombies has decreased. Simon Heffer column in the mail - dedicated to the praise of Gove - began with a lament for the decline of the selection. Grammars are described as "a vital level of opportunity."

In a contribution to a book, Conservative MP Graham Brady has called for more selective public school that was created in response to parental demand.

The problem with the love story of the Conservatives is that their grammars a relationship based on a misunderstanding.

This study Vikki Boliver Swift and Adam also analyzed the results of modern high school students, through the space 11 and older. When comparing the selective education as a whole with comprehensive, capacity controlled, found no benefit for children of the working class - in terms of income mobility and class

commendable Gove does not speak to save a handful of children from poor families, but to raise the performance of all children. The alternative, as pointed out in his speech at Cambridge, is that South Korea eat our food:
