CrammersFriday 22 March 2002
With children taking more and more exams, many parents and schools will go to extra lengths to get the best grades. Some state schools are now paying for pupils to go to private revision courses over the coming Easter holiday break.

Crammers may be the answer if your child can't stand the pressures at his hot shot school, or if they have been expelled and you're at your wits' end to know what to do next.
Marilyn Craig is the director of a crammer and Celia Hoyles is a professor of education. Sheila asks them whether crammers work and whether this is the way schools should be spending their budgets?
