Not really pie in the sky politics, if we, (all of us parents and other so called adults), really cared these kids wouldn't be in this position, it's because we are selfish that such children get left behind. Although I don't agree with the idea of keeping children back a class, I do believe we all have a responsibility that each child should have a chance to learn even if their parents don't care. Which means education needs more investment.
By the way, so far as large classes, I was part of the post war 'baby boomer's' and we had classes between 30 and 40 but we all knew we had to pay attention when a teacher spoke, perhaps something similar needs to be introduced?
