Myth of parentocracy: Parents do not have equal freedom to choose the schools which their child attends due to covert selection process, postcode lotteries in catchment areas. Middle class parents have much more freedom in choice due to their cultural capital, higher education and income.
Educational Triage: Teachers tend to allocate more resources to the students who are on the C/D boarder line in order to achieve the 5 A*-C needed for the league tables thus ignoring those who are unlikely to achieve this.
Dumbing down: Due to the funding formula, schools need to retain and attract students in order to receive funding. Schools will therefore lead to the dumbing down of teaching and standards in order to retain students who might leave if they are pushed too hard or if the courses are too difficult.
Reduced quality control: OFSTED is not as independent as it appears with government and politicians interfering with the process by changing standards and goal posts
