I am not sure that I fully agree with the quoted claim that ""Good schools don't grow and bad ones don't shrink". The dramatic growth in the non-government sector at secondary level seems to partly contradict this, though unmet demand for places in the top private schools and best performing government schools does illustrate constraints on the size of individual schools.
The article might usefully have touched on city/rural issues and the effects of geography in limiting choice in rural areas.
