Getting your children into a decent school and getting them a decent education is already enough of a lottery without the latest batshit scheme from British government.
Today saw the introduction of new admissions rules for English schools that will see English children getting allocated places at English schools based on a lottery system. You may live next door to a school but if your name doesn’t come out of the hat then tough, you’d best get yourself a bus pass because you’re going to have to travel to another school.
This is supposedly to make the admissions system fairer but it doesn’t – it just makes it virtually impossible for parents to ensure their children go to a local school. And it only applies to England of course, the One Eyed Wonder of Wankistan’s constituents will continue to get the admissions system that we’ve had for decades.

Maybe you have just got more good schools and more shit schools than us?
Our education system has been poked to perdition by the government for years and aint much to shout about.
To be fair, many parents wouldn’t want to send their children to the sink school near where they live, so it’s not all bad news!
Aha, we dont get a choice about where we send our kids, we are still under the old way of sending your kids to the local school.
It is only the ‘exceptions’ that went to different schools.
