I am asking this due to the thread about taking kids out of school outwith holidays, where some of you explained it disrupted the teaching programme.
My question is do you really teach your pupils something different every day? This is a genuine question, not intended to provoke or criticise. I admire anyone who chooses teaching as a profession and the friends I have who teach are , to a woman, remarkable and inspiring individuals.
It's just that my memory of school (particularly primary school ) was of weeks and weeks of repetition of the same things.
That was my biggest compliant about school - it was boring and repetitive and I felt I hardly ever learned anything.
We were taken out of school for a week or two most years and there was never any notion of having to catch up or missing anything. Have things changed or am I suffering from false memory syndrome ? Might I have gone on to acheive greatness if it hadn't been for those fortnights in Harrogate?
So to repeat my question,which was not intended to rehash the holidays issue, do you teach a different thing every single day?
