It is easy for grammar schools
The grammar schools in Northern Ireland have a reputation of being the best in the system (Morning View, May 20).
(The editorial can be read here: ‘If transfer tests are suspended, then academic selection itself is in peril’)
It is easy for them, they will only admit the brightest students.
It is a stroll in the park for educators to get the best results when they are only dealing with the brightest top percentage of children.
The really great school takes all ability children and educates them to and beyond their expected ability.
Let the grammar schools do likewise and compete on an even keel with other schools.
This would test and stretch their teachers and see if they are really deserving of the claim as the best schools.
