One Pair of Eyes

Season 1 Episode 36: Yvonne Mitchell: Strictly for the French

For the past eight years Yvonne Mitchell, the actress and novelist, has lived on the French Riviera. She has watched her 13-year-old daughter Cordelia receive a very different education at the local schools from anything she would have experienced in Britain. In her One Pair of Eyes, Yvonne Mitchell compares the two. She asks: can the highly disciplined French system, with its long hours, its emphasis on learning by rote and discouragement of self-expression, do more for a child than our own, more liberal methods?
