[Fhsst-authors] Why contribute to FHSST?

Hi all

From an email I received from Clare Johnson:

I know of someone else who might be interested in it - the son (he was
headmaster of Abbotts for 5 years) of a couple who I go to church with has
just started a school in Mowbray for gifted township kids in grades 10-12 (I
think) and it focuses on maths and science. because a lot of their problems
stem from a poor command of English, I think they are doing English as
well - just those three subjects. it's intense - school from 8 until 5.15
every day. the children pay nominal fees - hardly anything, so they rely on
sponsorship from business and some very committed teachers. they are
affiliated to Bishops - use their facilities after normal school hours.
school began this year, with a grade 10 (or 11) class, and a new class will
be added each year until all three (two?) grades are there. about 120
students I think.

did you know that the number of black students (from all backgrounds and at
private/government schools) who passed *both* maths and science on the
higher grade in the Western Cape is 5? five.
