A U-Turn or just common sense?

Much is being made of the apparent U-turn by the Conservatives over Grammar schools. Too much in fact. It may be a slight change in policy - but it is a common sense one.

We have unprecedented growth in housing at the moment, infrastructure must come alongside that growth and that includes schools. In a County like Buckinghamshire, Grammar schools are the way things operate - it makes absolutely no sense to create another schools system solely because of a dogmatic need to stick to a policy.

It does suggest that some of the words used early in the debate should have been better thought out, but allowing more Grammar schools to be built in Buckinghamshire does make sense.

My comments about the benefits of Comprehensive education still stand, no U-turns here either.
