Negative Evaluation of Comprehensive System:

A

Streaming/setting - MC placed in higher sets than the WC.
‘‘Myth of meritocracy’’ - Only made it appear equal, given the worst teachers based on sets.
Catchment Areas - house prices by ‘good’ schools went up and the WC could not afford to live in those areas.
