@benedictevans@awbalfour Perhaps, in the most literal sense, you can trust the admissions board to be objective about who is put in front of them. I have my doubts looking at the data, but it’s your view so fine. However, that’s an incredibly narrow view of the overall process which starts years earlier.
@awbalfour@benedictevans That was my understanding. There can surely be no suggestion that brighter kids go to the top private schools because those schools are nominally selective about who they admit.
@benedictevans@sheepyk No - the piece says they send their kids to those schools expecting them to have *a good chance of* getting in. Which isn’t unreasonable given - for example - 99 Etonians received offers in 2014.
@_PaulHayward@Forzabahab “Run the club properly”. Like Man City? “Honour their side of the bargain?” Assume by the bargain you mean the actual binding contract both parties negotiated and signed?
@jcorrigangolf I thought swift, no nonsense justice was precisely what our legal system (and our insistence on those bloody “fair trials”) failed to provide? Funny old game.
