Why are you left in class with the group that probably needs to focus the most? If they're struggling already, any distraction isn't going to help is it. Teachers are crafty like that at times aren't they. We had one who never taught a certain group of challenging children at all. She sent them out of class all the time with her TA, poor woman.<br /><br />There are plenty of Child A's around these days unfortunately. We had one whose Mum would turn up at all hours of the day and ask if she could just pop into class to see if her little darling was OK! Erm, that would be a big fat no. But she wouldn't go until one of us in the office had checked ourselves. Stupid woman and stupid headteacher for letting her get away with doing that. The child is now in Y6 and I believe Mum turns up at 12 noon on the dot every day with packed lunch because she wants child to have it as fresh as possible. Give me strength. xxEveryday life at Number 38https://www.blogger.com/profile/12945846951398052455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101883877426552626.post-20426755088074594982016-09-19T22:31:13.629+01:002016-09-19T22:31:13.629+01:00Love this blog...hilarious 😀😀Love this blog...hilarious 😀😀Lisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101883877426552626.post-2507817119352923492016-09-19T10:47:12.860+01:002016-09-19T10:47:12.860+01:00Sadly I think that is a reflection of society toda...Sadly I think that is a reflection of society today and the 'I want now' mentality - it starts when they are young...everyone gets what they want with no understanding of having to work for it - these lessons begin in childhood. 'Child Rights and Human Rights' have added to this as well as the fact that many parents are too scared to discipline their children nowadays as well. Discipline can take many forms and ALL animals discipline their young - we are getting it so wrong now as it is deemed that 'No' is no longer acceptable word to use, 'wait' is unheard of and as for respect that seems to be long gone as well. There is no such thing as failure, yet through our mistakes we learn, and yet because children can no longer 'fail' they have no goals as it seems anything is good enough so they stop trying. A little healthy competition is what life is all about. What on earth will the world be like with the current generation that is being raised in this manner I wonder?<br /><br />Year Two children should really be a pleasure to teach, they are like sponges and absorb things and are eager to learn, and yet more and more I am hearing stories like yours. It is so sad. <br /><br />Whoops, I seem to have gone on and on!<br /><br />Keep at it!

I think he must have slipped through the net and was a poor reader so aways played up in the English class and his friends thought he was so funny. Eventually the friends got wise and slowly moved away so then child A eventually started to do his work (with a different learning suport as I was no longer doing it) and did pass his GCSE English.<br />With a bit of luck your child A won't turn out to be like my child A.<br />Have another great week.<br />CarolxCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04332392686031711784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101883877426552626.post-7521500911563462322016-09-18T23:42:26.525+01:002016-09-18T23:42:26.525+01:00Made me laugh!

We were a pilot school in the late eighties for ORT and It was so real to some of the children that one harassed Mum arrived one day at the door with cakes for Kipoer's birthday! Mind you, that Kipper's a little b*****r too. I used to tell parents frequently that saying NO did not make you a bad parent. You really made me laugh today but I know from very long experience how unbearable your job would be if you didn't see the funny side.

Parents like those of Child A will only realize how few favours they have done their children by coddling them when they are 29 years old and still at home because they don't know how too handle life's ups and downs. Trust me, there are kids everywhere who have never been told no (or no is changed to yes after enough pouting and whining). -Jenncoffeeontheporchwithmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618627688821849806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101883877426552626.post-58646783954704609922016-09-18T14:32:38.129+01:002016-09-18T14:32:38.129+01:00Sheila, it's happening in classrooms up and do...Sheila, it's happening in classrooms up and down the country - it has to be!
