>I think grammar schools are not worthwhile because 11 year olds should not have the ability to seriously affect their futures.

You can get rid of one and keep the other.

Grammar schools are (or were) and indisputable good thing. What age do you think people SHOULD have the ability to seriously affect their futures? There are those who claim we aren't seriously mature until our late 20s, after all.

Academic selection is invaluable. Without it, you get dogshit comprehensives.

>He simply has no clue that school maths is trivial compared to what youre taught in university. And so on for the sciences.

Yeah, but you obviously need school maths to get that shit. There are very few subjects in life that allow you to jump in the deep end and not sink.

>Also the 50s are not coming back

Yes, and he doesn't want them back. You misunderstood him if you think so.
