Children can study anywhere

On October 21 there was a report in your paper saying that "children lacking space for studies" were at a distinct disadvantage with their homework.

According to the Housing Corporation survey, more than one-third of 16 to 18-year-olds don't have adequate room in which to study. What a load of tosh.

If a child wants to study, he/she will find space.

I am an OAP. My family consisted of four children, mother, father and grandmother living in a 2.5 bedroom house. We all passed the scholarship, as it was then called, all going to grammar or high schools.

So don't tell me that the reason pupils today don't do well in their studies is because they haven't room.
