Will scientists ever find the gene within our DNA which will
determine eleven plus success? Imagine if your child could have a simple blood
test – or a swab – and you would then know if it was worth your while helping
your child towards the eleven plus.
When Crick and Watson, in 1953, identified the double-helix
they discovered the importance of two strands coiled around each other. When the
strands of the helix are separated each provides a template for the synthesis
of an identical strand. Each strand has the
same genetic information.
We now know that hereditary information is stored as a
specific sequence of bases. Will one day the geneticists ever seek to find the elusive
`eleven plus’ gene?
You move house to a new area – within the zone of the local
grammar school. You take on a new mortgage and commit yourself to thousands of
pounds – just so that your child can have the best possible education. As your
child moves into Year 4 you take that search on Amazon for the wonder DNA
testing kit.
Amazon returns the results of eleven different `Eleven Plus
Testing Kits’. Do you go for the cheapest option or the best product? Does it
really matter – you are already committed to your new home and mortgage? Can
you ask other families about the reliability of the tests? Will Amazon offer a
money back guarantee?
The fate and the future of the `Wonder Eleven Plus DNA
Testing Kit’ is in your hands!
