It's a shame it took all that public outcry, they should have had the good sense and the moral compass to realise what a dreadful idea it was in the first place.
Not worried, well I suppose I am. What parent doesn't want the best for their children? We are fortunate to be able to send him to schools that are better (pass rate, pastorally, extra curricular, socially yada yada) than that local one. And so long as we can we'll send him to the best school...
