Lichtenburg English Secondary (Lichtenburg)

Lichtenburg English Secondary in Kieserville, where the name sounds like a neighbourhood they invented to sound fancy but is still just Lichtenburg. And listen, I have nothing against Lichtenburg, but if you know, you know. That town is so far from anywhere that Google Maps gives up halfway and just says "eish, figure it out." Now these teachers, 29 of them, are somehow expected to handle 834 learners. That is a 28.8 to 1 ratio, which means your teacher does not know your name. Your teacher does not know your face. Your teacher might not even know how many learners are in the class because by the time they count to 28 someone has already climbed out the window. That is not a classroom, that is a taxi rank with a whiteboard. And that 82.8% matric pass rate, okay fine, it is not embarrassing, but it is also not something you frame and put on the wall. You pass 82 out of every hundred kids with one teacher splitting themselves between nearly 29 students each. That remaining 18% probably could not find the exam venue in time because Kieserville directions are just "turn left by the thing and go straight until you see the other thing." Overall verdict: A school that is clearly doing a lot with very little, which is genuinely impressive, but bru, 29 teachers and 834 kids is not a school, that is a miracle with a timetable.
