School Selection

I live in a town where the price of housing varies on the "catchment" area of the schools. If you live in a good school area it reflects in your your price. The news has reports that people should have more choice for their children. Well a nice idea, it turns out that nobody wants to send their kids to a bad school!

We end up with ghetto type schools were none of the able kids have gone, I think it should be a fair distribution (within reason of distance for the pupil to travel) of the ability range to try and even things out. Maybe even sharing of teachers.

Needless to say I live the poor school side of town, but I'm not after a rise in house prices.
