This point was made to me last week during our UK visit in the context of a model that is based in specific primary schools. Those involved spoke about the importance of teachers being at the gates when children were entering and leaving school. They said it is the best way of getting information. The teachers can see from a child's face, from their facial expressions, the burden on that child and they can follow it up through the home school liaison officer or whatever.
