        Especially in math - as math is so sequential; students who "miss" one grade of it are lost later. @BBCNews

        @BBCNews I was always falling behind at school. In-fact they kept me back a year, then skipped me 2 years in-front. Very strange carry on.

        @NewtBeaumont just read your profile. You're obviously not thick probably not suited to classroom based tuition. @BBCNews

        @BBCNews Interesting but surely more at play that meets eye? Some countries don't begin formal education until age 7.
