Useful Expressions Concluding Remarks This story must have happened decades ago, because things have changed a great deal in English education. The conditions in English schools described in the text are not what they are today, but what they were at one time in the past. Concluding Remarks Croydon today is a suburb of London, no longer a small rural village, and is easily approachable by public transportation. It is impossible today for a person without degree to get a teaching post in a primary or secondary school. Moreover, students are generally separated into classes by age and taught by separate teachers. One-room school houses are described in the story might still be found in small villages, but they are few and far between. And students no longer have school activities on Saturday.
