Re: 11 Plus

I got 8.

The idea of the 11 plus was to be able to group people of similar abilities together and teach pupils according to their ability. Therefore someone who is dyslexic being allocated to a secondary modern school doesn't mean they were classified as thick. It should have meant that they wouldn't be out of their depth as can often happen when they are expected to be able to read and make notes quickly. I know because one of my daughters has struggled with this.
