This documentary is currently on Sky3. It was on a couple of years ago if anyone is interested.

Thanks For the heads up Tipsy. Looks interesting.

Been flicking around for ages, with no joy

Gosh, poor lad

3hrs a night, I think is overkill.

Channel 108 if you have the tv company that rhymes with pie!

Up to 3 hours each week night, 4 hours on Sat and Sun plus 2 hours a week at a private tutor! We have had comments about "intensive" tutoring recently on other threads and I think we can all say that no school or parent on here does the above!

Or do they?

I do, but it's not for the 11+. My children are 2 and 4.

Thinking about it, It doesn't add up. The child is shown saying...''I did a comprehension tonight"
then... ''I did a VR tonight" etc. One paper of an evening usually wouldn't take 3hrs.

Perhaps the editors got a bit happy with the editing. Have heard of this happening before

Sadly, this then doesn't show people who care about their DC's education in a kind light.

Believe me, it takes that long when they are 2 and 4, and that's just to do one question, not a whole paper.
