You think getting good students to go to crappy schools is a way to improve those schools? I'd say you don't know anything about schools then.
And you think randomly selecting students instead of selecting them on the basis of merit is a way to find gems?
This is all such wishful thinking without any evidence or even, I have to say, common sense.
- Randomini 6y agoIf you're refuting based on lack of evidence, I'm interested in counter-evidence, beyond the anecdotal.
- jonnypotty 6y agoI'm not refuting anything! What I'm saying is if you claim to know how to change and improve education you better have some evidence to support your claim. As to why I feel like I can comment..my father has been an education consultant for the past 30 years, before that he was a teacher, my sister is a teacher and so was my mum. What you're espousing is an ideological approach that you'd like to be true. Why not claim its true, I mean, you're smart right, why would you need evidence to backup what you're saying?

You'd say that, but it would be wrong. >And you think randomly selecting students instead of selecting them on the basis of merit is a way to find gems Totally. Especially since there's little about "merit" in the current system.
- jonnypotty 6y agoSo, as outcomes for kids are hugely affected by the school they go to, you'd like to take kids OUT of schools where they're expected to do really well and put them into schools where they probably are not going to, in the hope they slightly improve grades for other students. I'm sorry, but I really don't think you've thought this through.
