Four-day week at a south London school

&gt; Pupils described feeling overwhelmed at their former schools with their large classes<p>This school has made a lot of changes all in one go, which seem broadly positive, but I’d bet that almost all the benefit comes from this: smaller class sizes.<p>I went to schools with 35 students per teacher and schools with 11 students per teacher. The difference was stark. I also went to schools with those two ends of the spectrum on length of the day and can’t remember much of a difference.

If you are lucky enough to be born in a family which goes through posh London and then goes into posh universities and does a posh job in posh London, that is maybe the peak of our civilization right now.

You need a family where one of your patents doesn&#x27;t work, or at least they can pay a full day babysitter on Friday.

I&#x27;ve never regretted my education and only wanted more.<p>&gt; response to concerns about children’s mental health and a shortage of teachers.<p>Ha! Getting educated is so bad for children, and how insufferable an extra day among their peers must be! Disgusting!
