I REFER to the story ‘School Places Crisis’ (Echo, May 16).

Parent Martyn Dear is quoted as saying “The worst thing is that you don’t get any answers from the council at all, you’re just left thinking what am I supposed to do?”

From my valuable experience in Bournemouth schools, the answer is, if they told you the truth you maybe would not comprehend it.

It is all about placing children to integrate. Teaching parents and children not to discriminate.

My three children went to schools that these parents are avoiding.

My children became well educated with good manners and with degrees.

It taught them everyone is equal, they became professionals.
