The post you are reporting:
I have 4 very bright children all of whom have been or are going through the grammar schools, and yet I find they still don't know some of the basic things we were expected to know when I was at school (about 135 years ago...). I realise the responsibility on parents to inform and teach, and we take this seriously, but the schools are paid, by me and by you, to teach, to stimulate and to enrich. Now, Convents may not be the best places in the world to be educated, but at least I came out able to spell, grammatically literate, curious and with a more than basic grasp of the core subjects. I think I would expect all schools, but even more would I expect grammar schools, to provide the same or better.
