Bad Grammar

Hardly anywhere wants to become a "free" school, but among those which do are old grammar schools set up by town fathers centuries ago and under municipal control, serving the whole community, until comprehensivisation caused them to pick up their endowments and go commercial.

But now, on the brink of going bust because the State has stopped maintaining the middle class that cannot exist without such central and local government action, they want back in. Yet only as part of the erosion of the Local Education Authorities without which a truly bipartite or tripartite system could not have existed in the past and could not exist in the future. Which is to say, only without the involvement of those who endowed them in the first place.
