The scandal that there are no grammar schools, though on the German Gymnasium model, thereby avoiding the crudity of the 11-plus. (And the scandal that there are no O-levels for the most academic pupils once they get there.)
The scandal that there are no technical schools, of which there were never anything like as many as there should have been.
The scandal that the special schools are still in the horrendously Beechingised condition imposed by that ridiculous Warnock woman.
And the scandal that there are no Secondary Modern schools, delivering exactly as much academic and technical education as most people really need and can take in, and vastly, vastly better than that which has so very often replaced them.
