I am just wondering whether I should mention this as a worry with school.
DS's school is a training school - it trains teachers - so in most classes there is a graduate training teacher.
However on top of this DS always seems to get teachers who are head of year, or head of literacy etc and this means the teacher is away a lot on courses or sorting things out.
In my day we had just one teacher in primary school all day and every day. So I'm finding it hard to get my head round the way that DS's school is run.
Most days DS comes home and tells me that he had his actual teacher in the morning, then the training teacher then a teacher he didn't know and then the training teacher again etc.
Often the actual teacher is not there and its a teacher he doesn't know for te whole day. But they also have all sorts of people taking over all the time such as the deputy head or the head.
I am wondering whether this is a bad thing. Can children learn just as well in this sort of set up? Can their learning be monitored.
DS finds change unsettling and misbehaves sometimes with new teachers.
