Smaller class sizes means the children get a LOT more individual attention. In a top public school there will be FAR fewer pupils per teacher. Probably 10 or less to a class. I know it is a lot better now, but when I was at school in the 50s 60s there were at least 30 in a class. Some of my classes had 46 pupils to 1 teacher. We were two at a desk made for 1. We had to share books as the school did not have enough for 1 each.
There were 46 in my class , we had to sit 2 at a desk made for 1. There were class rooms in corridors and the school hall (after assembly) For 2 years my class room was the school dining room. We had to move out and sit in the entrance hall for an hour before lunch so that the dining room could be used for lunch.
woofgang not all pupils at private school have parents that are 'worth a bob or two. Some just sacrifice foreign holidays , new cars and state of the art electronics to provide a solid education for their children. many get bursaries and private assisted places.
