[Nowhere]

I do agree to some extent, but after all these years of it being there, it's hard to imagine without it, and how it would all work out. I don't think the majority of pupils learn much these days anyway, with an average of say 30 in a class, theres just too much going on for a kid to truly get stuck into the work, plus kids are always striving to be the most popular, (most) so pay less attention to learning. They'd have a better chance if there were say, 8-10 in a class. I just think schools these days have become a deliquent social gathering rather than a learning center. (that's just my opinion) More kids are playing truant than ever before now aswell I think, the main cause might be the overcrowded classes, or the half arsed teachers. The school I went to was really bad, kids used to carry knives, bullying was all too common, and if you were seen completing your homework on time/paying attention to the teacher or just attempting to learn, you were targeted. If you were able to fight your corner (teach 'em who's boss) they'd move onto the next target. The government have a lot to do in my eyes.At the moment, they're just ignoring the problems, and instead threatening with prosecution to any parent who doesn't force their child to attend the hellhole.
