EQUALITY - that lovely thing Labour preach on about

Bright children probably benefit just as much because it teaches them discipline at home. Nobody is perfect at everything no matter how bright they are

I was top of the class and I don't know my 8 times tables as well as the others I blame my mum

EDIT: different abilities got different homework at the primary school I went to. Also had 1 on 1 teaching help for the slower ones.
