In the English school system, are essays ever assigned based on physical length as opposed to number of pages?
I am re-reading the Harry Potter series and whenever a student has to write an essay, the length is assigned in inches. For example, a paper might have be 10 inches long. Is this common practice among the English schools or did J. K. Rowling make this up solely for her books?
