In some big cities in Britain, identical houses in similar areas are sold for very
DIFFERENCE prices. Why is this? Each school in Britain has a list of streets it takes its students from. It can only take students from another area if there are not enough local students to take up all the places. Understandably, parents will
HAPPY pay more for a house in a street where their children could attend a better school.
What about those who can’t afford to pay more for their house? At the moment, if they don’t have the
ABLE to pay, their children will have to go to a worse school which probably has more problem students and lower exam results.
Some people believe that this is
FAIR. They say that the children of poor parents who want a good
EDUCATE should have the same chance as the children of richer parents. They suggest introducing a ‘lottery’ schemes to decide which school a child will attend. The idea is that the better students will help the others and the teachers will be able to control them
EASY.
Obviously, not everyone likes the idea. The parents who are upset are generally richer and more
POWER than the others, and they have a good chance of keeping things as they are. The ideal solution, of course, would be to make all schools better.
