    A genius being around average people will pull them down. It’s a good thing to concentrate our smartest children in an environment that lets them learn with equally intelligent peers. There might not be enough hyper intelligent kids in a geographical region to warrant the resources required to fully support that minority of students. Nothing I said was conspiratorial.

      There are over 160 selective secondary state/public schools in England. Being state run does not prevent the existence of selective schools.

          I’ve not suggested otherwise, so I don’t know why you felt compelled to point that out.

              And yet my comment did not suggest any views in either direction and only addressed the specific point of selective schools.
