How long do they intend to keep people back?

Some might still be there until retirment age.

I acknowledge that children learn things at differing times, but really the only way to ensure all children learn, to the best of their ability, is in smaller class sizes, something this Conservative proposal will only increase the size of.

It is shocking that even today children leave school without adequate numeracy and literacy skills. I do think parents have a part to play in this, as well as the schools. I was no child genius, but I was able to read before starting school on my fourth birthday. A small amount of the parent's time aiding their child's skills, will mean more time at school will be spent on learning more advanced skills, rather than trying to teach the basics.
