The Best Start in Life? Tonight.

With young pupils being graded in key subjects early in their school lives, and the private tuition industry booming-are we putting too much pressure on children?

Check out the programme on 8th November (7.30pm), ITV Tonight programme. Would be interesting to hear your comments!
