Cheers Mike, I’m amazed how well behaved they were after a 20 – 30 minute wait. Thanks for viewing.

Is that it 18 kids to one class ?

Thanks Irene, I’ll take a look at this group.

Yes, that’s it. The Education system here is brill. 18 in Hannah’s class, 15 I think in Rhian’s. They are doing great and loving every minute. Another plus.

Correction Irene, I understand there are 20 in Hannah’s class, 1 off shot. They are a great bunch of kids, a credit to their parents and the school.

They are trying to increase the size of the classes over here .

I believe you, which is sad for the children, the teachers and eventually the whole system. The girls’ old UK school were excellent, but under so much pressure to perform, achieve, meet targets etc and often strangled by red-tape and ridiculous bureaucracy. A result of a liberalised, PC, mis-managed Education system. Don’t get me on to this.

This sounds like a fantastic system!! Your old UK school sounds just like my sons school. He has 34 students in his homeroom and do your kids get to study outside????
Great shot and hats off to a fabulous school system.

Thanks again Leslie. Yes, the same in the UK. Just too many people I guess and too much bureaucracy with it. The kids here spend as much time outside as possible, are kept active with sports inbetween lessons and clearly thrive on it. A lesson to schools in the UK (albeit) a lot colder and I assume the US too.Thanks for your comments.
