Spot on.
I am dismayed with the number of parents who do not have faith in their own children's ability. Unfortunately, in Lambeth, this is down to a lot of White British "middle-class" parents who think it is better to educate their children in neighbouring boroughs (with the same or worse results, especially at GCSE).
These are the parents of children that will usually do well, regardless.
I'm all for the days of sending your children to the nearest school available.
Basically, if you teach your children to count and do the alphabet before they are of school age, they're likely to be fine.
