hi David

My post was tongue in cheek....I know ,especially in this time before the run up to the election many things are being slung around and hyped up or damped down to suit the need.

However I would like to say that Tesco in this instance was not trying to teach people anything. They were stating that as employers the school system, as far as they are concerned is not producing enough employable people.

As for class sizes, both myself and my son and everybody round us came through the systems that applied at those times and the class sizes were certainly larger than they are today. We did well enough and we were by no means top performers.

So something has changed!!!!

cheers
