At Grey Afrikaans Classes Get More and Better Attention Than English Classes

Boys talk among themselves and it has now become apparent that the Afrikaans classes get more and better attention from teachers than the English classes. It has nothing to do with people of colour.

At the Afrikaans classes things are explained in detail and many times boys are spoon-fed. In the English classes boys are told what to learn and then they are dependent on themselves to become educated.

This has been monitored over several years and it is still continuing, so it's not something that is imagined or a mere story and it doesn't just happen at Grey's high school, but most definitely at the primary school too.

This problem could be as a result of the teachers being Afrikaans speaking, resulting in the inability to express themselves properly in English. So they say the minimum.

Afrikaans classes are always clued up about what to study for tests and exams, but the English classes in most cases have a vague idea, but mostly are unsure. The English boys are also continually reprimanded to keep quiet and no questions are allowed. At the Afrikaans classes discussions are held and many detailed questioned allowed and answered.

Grey is an excellent school for sport, but it truly sucks at academics! The Afrikaans classes already battle with academics even if they are the favourites at Grey, so what should a person say about the English classes?

If you think you're going to get a good education from Grey College, think again! You'll have to pull all the resources outside the school to become educated, more so if you're in the English class!
