Gordon's right, you can't educate those you can't motivate. Interesting then to see Gordon explicit in his support for the Independent Schools Sector. Not necessarily a natural area for Labour, it's good to see support from the Front Bench.
What then of the motivations of those who seek to dismantle the independent school sector?
Why would you want to eradicate world class education from the UK? Clearly, not everyone is independently educated - I wasn't - but I don't begrudge those (like my brother) who were.
Surely the key is to find to right school for every child - and that will differ from family to family. By ruling out options and choices on principle we risk sacrificing our children's education to an out-dated and in my view erroneous point of view.
What could be the motivation for that?
