3. Better work ethic from boys in particular each morning. Not feeling stressed to begin the day made a significant difference to several students – mostly, but not all, lads. 4. Beautifully maintained diaries which documented so many rich experiences that I’d not otherwise have heard about. I learned about family events, achievements, scouts, ponies, hairstyles and shopping trips. 5. Creative and thoughtful pieces of work produced by kids who would not have had time to produce such work under a traditional homework structure. 6. Kids coming to class with insights from their learning that informed the lessons for that day. 7. Kids formally petrified of maths saying, “I love maths now!” due to time spent learning at their pace and on disciplines that they wanted (and needed) to master.
