Really there should be no need to do that. Unfortunately if some do then they get an advantage over others which I realise is the point but it really does often mean that many of the children who end up there really need to keep up an enormous amount of extra work to cope whereas others who would have coped just fine either don't bother taking the exam or miss out just through lack of hot housing.

I sometimes wonder that the schools are looking for children who are happy to study.
