I have read it, at least from as far back as yesterday, and all I have to say is...

you CAN appeal against decisions made, you are ENCOURAGED to voice your opinions/concerns and you don't get anything without fighting for it in this world.

I got into my school of choice, mainly because I had no idea what my choices were so I never picked anything particularly special. I now wish I had gone to a decent school but you cant have everything. The good news is that if your children are talented then they will do well regardless of the school, and later on in life, some people see high achievers from ****ty schools as a good thing, shows raw talent and all that stuff.

Thats what the admissions tutor said to me anyway when I came to uni.
