So the question still remains; do we want a more iniquitous system, in which case let’s be clear and not try to hide from it and make it explicit? Or do we want an inclusive system and face the expense and the difficulties of making it happen?
I don’t think anyone would object to that in the slightest, the only real debate is the methodology of achieving it. Labour (or at least a hard-line faction within) seem to want achive equality by banning the choices open to the more wealthy (i.e. class warriorism/levelling down). I’d far prefer to render private schools obsolete anachronisms by significantly raising the standards and safety of state schools. Really no need for authoritarianism here, just some serious investment in quality and addressing the social issues that make many state schools such unattractive propositions to many parents.
