UK "grammar schools", which are supposed to help the most capable students advance even if they are poor, now admit mostly the well-off. It is part of a larger system so biased against the poor that a poor child must be exceptional in order to do well in life.

This unfairness should of course be corrected, but just making the selection for who gets a good life less unfair is only a step towards fixing the problem. The state should give the poor more support, so that everyone can have a good life.
