I think the point is more to do with the fact that there are bright kids who have self-confidence issues and find it difficult to put their hand up and could get overlooked/labelled as stupid (mostly by people who equate confidence with intelligence - not always the case). Which goes back to my point about good teaching.
Of course, that has nothing to do with Gramm
ar schools. Most schools have selection criteria based on ability.
