The fallacy of parental choice

Article Abstract:

UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, along with many of his colleagues and many voters, is unwilling to support the concept of the local school. In practice, parental choice of school means that many parents decide to send their children to schools a considerable distance from their home. Local schools with a poor reputation are attended only by the children of those who are least able to support their child's education or bring about change in their community through working with the school. Parental choice clearly creates a range of social problems without actually delivering what it claims to do.

Ministering to every sport

Article Abstract:

New UK Minister for Sport Kate Hoey could do a considerable amount of good, but it is likely that any real difference she could make to sport in the UK will be overshadowed by the needs of professional football. There is still a predominantly male culture in football, and Hoey will find it hard to battle against anti-female attitudes, such as the Football Association's policy of not allowing women to attend its annual award ceremony. She must seek to disengage herself from petty matters and focus on encouraging young people to play more competitive sport.
