So, Varndean School is to change yet again (The Argus, March 1).
Inevitably, it has had to change to reflect political will.
Our entry back in 1939 was by the more rational lottery of the 11-plus, now to be replaced by the administrators' roulette wheel.
Our country has an abundance of fine teachers with both enterprise and goodwill. Our finest schools, including Varndean, have prospered through competitiveness. So let the market decide which schools parents will choose and not which schools shall choose the children.
