The tripartite system with both 11+ and 13+ worked even though my class size was 30 until the sixth form.

When you increase the number of low IQ students from other countries the general IQ goes down and this disrupts the education for those at a higher level, class sizes and number being relatively fixed. This lowers the education standard all around.<br /><br />I agree that we can fix it but this lot have no interest in doing so. They want uneducated louts at the low end.Lord Tnoreply@blogger.com
