Both Conservative party prime minister candidates have expressed support for grammar schools.
But the evidence shows every argument for bringing them back just doesn't stack up, finds @mrjpandrews from @EduPolicyInst

In my 32 years as a teacher, 15 of them as headteacher, I inevitably dealt with moments of poor behaviour and inappropriate conduct - from young people and staff.
I have to say "I'm only human" was never good enough as an excuse from any of them for any of it.
Andrea Jenkyns MP giving the finger to the crowd on her way to becoming an Education Minister, and soon to be giving out instructions to teachers on how to teach British values and instil 'good behaviour'.
You’ve been let down, lied to, laughed at and now they’re sticking their fingers at you.
The problem isn’t just Boris Johnson, it’s the Conservatives.
Arrogant, out of touch and out of time.
It’s time for a fresh start with Labour.
Just a reminder of what Johnson said in the House of Commons on 8 December 2021 after the Stratton video appeared. I can’t see how it’s possible to conclude that this was other than deliberately misleading the House.
Thanks to all who have written to me following Parl today. Due to the volume of correspondence I can't reply to everyone but all the views you have shared are valued. Truth and decency must always remain at heart of our politics. They are values that we must never give up on.
There is something deeply unseemly about #PMQs today. The PM refuses to answer questions from opposition benches, chuckles his way through answers to his own MPs, treating it all as a jolly jape. All the while, families across the UK pay the price for his inaction and ineptitude.
