For example, you have to plan your lessons according to what students will find do-able, thereby more likely to keep them in their seats, rather than according to what they will find challenging – which they will immediately give up on, leading to restlessness, leading to arguments, leading to fights.<br /><br />Years ago, a colleague of mine was (repeatedly) driven close to, or actually to, tears because, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t get them to listen and engage. I told him that he must +lower+ his expectations of students (i.e. the exact opposite of what the hypocritical education establishment say); that he must recognise his job for what it really was – an attempt to civilise the savages rather than enlighten the next generation. Being idealistic, naïve and holier-than-thou, he said he didn’t like my characterisation of students as savages. Fair enough. But then he was the one who couldn’t survive, repeatedly looking weak in front of pupils through his obvious frustration and misery; and he came close to suspension/termination through manhandling a pupil who wouldn’t ‘listen’. I, on the other hand, focused on setting tasks that were very doable and occupying rather than trying too hard to explain difficult concepts to feral creatures. The first priority in state schools has to be to +control+ pupils, not +educate+ them. Only when you have good control techniques can you hope to move on to a bit of education.ripponhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655843142456290166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28919367.post-46810925184206092832011-03-17T16:47:24.169+00:002011-03-17T16:47:24.169+00:00The 'appeasement' style of the head teache...The 'appeasement' style of the head teacher does not seem to be helping the children fulfill their potential at all.

You should treat them well and let them lead the way. Teachers should show children all the beauty they possess inside and give them a sense of pride and not use such descriptions.<br /><br />Children feel bad enough already about themselves. Teachers should show them the greatest love of all which is learning to love yourself.<br />It is the greatest love of all.<br /><br />I'm also offended at the use of the word 'sh!te' because it looks like Shi'ite, a word which would be extremely offensive to those who belonged to that part of Islam called Sunni because it would indicate that you discriminate. <br /><br />You should have called them 'sunny sh!tes' but that would show that you are Islamophobic, so I hope that you will avoid using that word at all in the future.Hidekinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28919367.post-51043166619646023112011-03-17T09:20:55.219+00:002011-03-17T09:20:55.219+00:00I couldn't watch it.
