Laerskool Warrenton (Warrenton)

Warrenton. WARRENTON. Broe, even the name sounds like someone tried to spell "warranty" and gave up halfway. This is a school in the Northern Cape that has 10 teachers for 295 kids, which means each teacher is basically running a small township on their own. A 29.5 to 1 ratio? That poor teacher is not teaching, they are crowd control. That one teacher at the back is not marking books, they are just surviving. And then the school's own description says it is a "fee-paying school." Fee-paying for WHAT, exactly? You are paying fees and there are still 30 kids per teacher. You are paying fees in Warrenton, Northern Cape, where the nearest shopping centre is probably a bakkie and a dream. What are the fees funding? A whiteboard? One whiteboard? Shared? Also shoutout to the description proudly saying it "does not offer boarding facilities." Nobody asked, my guy. Nobody was sitting in Johannesburg going "hmm, I wonder if I should board at Laerskool Warrenton." That sentence is doing a lot of nothing in a very small amount of words, which honestly tracks for a school with 10 teachers. Overall verdict: Laerskool Warrenton is clearly holding the whole Northern Cape together with ten people and some CAPS worksheets, which is actually kind of heroic, but chaotic.
