Progressive (Thohoyandou)

Bra, the school is called "Progressive" but one teacher is out here handling 27.5 kids. Twenty. Seven. Point. Five. That half a child is probably the one sitting on the floor sharing a desk. There is nothing progressive about one person trying to teach 27 kids in Thohoyandou while the other 26 schools in Limpopo are watching. That ratio is not progressive, that is a taxi rank with a whiteboard. And then the school sits down and writes its own description like it is applying for a Checkers Sixty60 sponsorship. "Progressive is an independent co-educational primary school." Yoh. They used eleven words to say absolutely nothing. No mention of what makes them progressive. No sports. No arts. No boarding. No personality. Just vibes and 26 educators carrying 714 souls like they are doing a group project where only two people actually pitch up. Thohoyandou is a real town with real energy and real heat, so at least the kids are built tough. But 714 learners, 26 teachers, private fees, and the most exciting thing in the description is that they follow CAPS. Brother, every school follows CAPS. That is not a selling point, that is a legal requirement. The name says Progressive, the numbers say "we are doing our best and please do not ask follow-up questions." Overall verdict: A school that named itself after the idea of moving forward but forgot to hire enough teachers to actually get there, which is a vibe, honestly, but not the good kind.
