just that really, but I'm not sure whether to raise it with the school or not - I'm a bit shocked TBH
yr 7 DD came home tonight & told me that they had a different teacher for a particular lesson, she doesn't think it's a supply teacher as the teacher knew the school well enough, but the school is huge, so I'm not sure she would really know if it were a regular supply.
The given lesson project was weak to say the least & I know from a teacher friend it's a bit of a filler, as in, don't know what to do with the class, occupy them for an hours sort of thing. No actually teaching involved at all.
Ironically he was only talking recently about using the exact same tactic when as a supply he was faced with a group of kids he felt didn't want to learn & would play up, so it definitely a killing time, keep them occupied sort of exercise as opposed to actual teaching. DDs class are not like that & mostly love this particular lesson & look forward to learning, DD definitely does.
The teacher left them to it, sat down, relaxed - & promptly fell asleep slept through the whole lesson & the DCs were late getting out of class because they couldn't wake the teacher.
