@JP1 & @Old McDonald broadly agree.
BTW I went to a Comprehensive and experienced a number of people just hell bent on disrupting lessons with teachers actively not bothering or worse.
I remember doing A level maths and my teacher actively abandoning me because the rest of the class, which was 4 other children, had paid tuition by their parents and skipped whole chapters. Of course I paid the price and was too naive to even tell anyone. Hell I was embarassed.
School is not without politics, teachers are adults and children are children.
My sister is a teacher and described how some teachers actively make sure certain pupils fail ... how ? ... by teaching them the wrong cylibus. Of course the kids are none the wiser, but the teacher will get her way.
I think schools need honesty more than anything else, but unfortunately the Socialists always find problems are generated by someone other than themselves.
