12 hours of the day spent either at school, with a maths tutor, or practising spellings?? Not surprised the poor kid was in tears! These kids are either going to give in and follow the life plan their parents have mapped out for them, or rebel and go completely off the rails. Or get very ill. I'm struggling watching it without swearing at the TV!

I'm sure tonight's new mum has been on tv before trying to get her son a private school full scholarship at 5 because state school wouldn't 'stretch' him

She needs to understand that if you stretch something to its maximum point it snaps.

These parents are living out their dreams through their kids, something will give. The train boy (cant remember his name) is very rude, his arents do nothing
