I WAS misquoted in your report "Save our school protest grows" (LET, January 26).
I did not say "Sending children to a reception class at the junior school is not the same. The quality of education is less."
The concern that I voiced to the reporter was: "If the children from nursery schools are put into a reception class attached to a junior school, then the child-to-adult ratio may be increased and that the one-to-one interaction with the younger children could be affected."
I do not feel that the quality of education is less in junior schools.
However, I do feel that nursery schools such as Rockwood can offer three and four year olds the adult time and attention that each individual child needs to develop.
I was very distressed and agitated by what was printed as a statement from me.
