Classroom Secrets

[Westernisle]

Anyone watching this tonight?
Watching it on BBC News at the moment segment on it.

[MyBalletShoes]

Am looking forward to it! If it's done well I think it might be a bit of an eye opener!

I'm wondering why the parents seem amused at Maisy's behaviour? Shouldn't they be concerned?

[VivaLeBeaver]

I think they're embarrassed.

[megapixels]

Oh, right.

[jetgirl]

Am at how they let Corey get away with a 20 min food break!

[Sandalwood]

Taken out to get some breakfast? (Looks like jam on toast).
Wow. That looks a bit of a treat for him.
I'm sure DD's school wouldn't do this. And I'm glad - she'd probably be in that kitchen having a chat and jam whenever she could.

[Sandalwood]

I don't know.
It must affect those (role model) children who the teacher's deliberately sitting the disruptive ones next to.
It doesn't seem fair on them. But I don't know what the answer is.

[MollieO]

Have just started watching and I'm appalled. James wants to learn but apparently it's his problem he is picked on. Am I missing something here?

[MollieO]

I suppose it is the editing but I'm not impressed by the standard of teaching.

[ggirl]

my dd used to always get the naughty kid sat next to her. we moaned about it regularly to no avail

[MollieO]

I think doing that is lazy teaching.

[TheCrackFox]

I wouldn't have agreed to my DCs taking part in this programme.

I haven't been impressed with the standard of teaching (understatement) or the HT (too casual) but then it might have been edited this way.

I have turned over, the whole TV show should never have been commissioned.

[Sandalwood]

ikwym re the teaching. Seems wishy-washy.

ggirl do you think it had a detrimental affect on her learning?
Silly question. It must do.

[LunaMoth]

Adults forget what it's like to be 7 - we shouldn't judge children so harshly and to our standards....

[Niecie]

The teacher was brave to agree to do this. I can't see how she can come out of this looking good.

[MollieO]

Listening to James breaks my heart. I spend chunks of my annual leave to attend school stuff.

[ggirl]

she was very bright
they said she enjoyed it and got a lot out of it. We were sceptical as she would never have moaned to the teacher about it. she did to us though.
I'mnot sure it held her back. She did very well in yr 6 sats,level 5s.

She enjoyed senior school more becasue of the streaming.

[ggirl]

maisie's for it

[megapixels]

Luna it is Year 4. So the children are turning 9 during the course of the year. I notice that the children seem very immature compared to my DD's year 4 class though.

[HuwEdwards]

What the flying fuck are Maisie's parents on?

[ggirl]

light turns on in maisie's parents brains

[VivaLeBeaver]

The classroom environment does seem very uninspiring. I'd be bored in that class and boredom leads to arising about.

Masie needs a boot up the bum.

[VivaLeBeaver]

Just realised the brunette is the ht, thought she was the ta.

[ggirl]

yy me too

[Niecie]

Don't like attendance awards.
