Great story, but why did it?

[Seventy]

Not unusual for an advert to either.

Pupils taught to the test, get good results only to be disappointed later in life when they realise that's not good enough for the real world.

....I'm not feeling the emotion to be fair but perhaps I'm just too cynical.

"We call him the maths whisperer, he instils the belief that they have practised the hardest maths that they have to ever to face so why be scared of an exam?

"It's the belief that they absolutely can do it, and the children think it's magic."

That part especially.

How do they do the exam 6m early? Don't they now have the questions to tell others?
