It would be great if it was that simple but even if a teacher knows a child needs help there may not be anyone available to give the extra help. They can't just ask for extra staff and get them. It's incredibly difficult. Then there is the problem of class sizes and in some schools a large percentage of pupils start without being able to understand a word of English let alone read and write it! |
