Selection by the back door

I can't believe that the government really thinks that the new so called 'independent trust schools' won't lead to more selection. Parents don't really want that much more 'choice' in where to send their children, they just want good education for all, at their local school. In large cities, like London, choice may be there, but if you live in a rural area, its the local school or nothing. The government should leave education alone for a little while - schools cannot keep up with all the new initiatives coming along every 5 minutes - and let schools concentrate on teaching children to enjoy learning
