croydon proud Any european country i fancy! 12 Aug 21 5.06pm
Originally posted by Stirlingsays The system we have now provides the best education and even more importantly the networking contacts, to those with most money....apart from disastrous affirmative action programs, which are political rather than rational. I'd agree that the money method is only an indirect way of educating the brightest as IQ and money don't always align. However, they align more than any other individual attributes. Personally whatever system gets the brightest minds into the most important jobs for society matters much more than politics. I don't think the system does this well today due to other concerns...partly funding related. Like everything else in this country what was designed to benefit this nation...in terms of elites, has been globally farmed out and is increasingly globalist in nature. Edited by Stirlingsays (12 Aug 2021 1.46pm) Thanks. I did have to smile, I saw on tv a chap from one of these schools, he said he was going to be either an investment banker or a corporate lawyer, and no doubt he will. Made me think of my lady at my careers chat at school, would you like to go on a building site? She was spot on to be fair. I doubt the words investment banker or corporate lawyer never came out of her mouth all day!

Lots of good points about the shortcomings of how students are assessed and those creeping ever improving grades! Well done to all of them anyway though. It's been a tough year for them too.
