Waterloo Road - soooooooooo realistic!

[Moomin]

1000 kids, 3 members of senior management team; ONE NQT; ONE child with Aspergers, which the Head has barely heard of and the other staff have NO idea how to deal with....

at how daily mail readers ignoramuses might think real schools are like this

but I dooo love it

[hana]

head of pastoral care - she was so rude to the girl with aspergers

so glad I don't teach in mainstream

[ELF1981]

I didn't even know this was back on! Is it the first week?

[Moomin]

hana - it's not RL!!
There is no way on Earth that the Head of pastoral care (don't even start me on the fact that there wouldn't be just one pastoral head in a normal secondary there would be at least 6 or 7) wouldn't have heard of how to deal with a child with ASpergers. and where's her CSA?!!!

[Moomin]

In fact, don't think I can watch any more! Am turning over for a bit of Beeney instead.

Waterloo road has gone down the pan (see what I did there - arf)

[ELF1981]

what happened with the woman who got stabbed?

[hatwoman]

I fell out with it when the woman diagnosed with ms committed suicide. utter bollocks.

[Moomin]

She died elf.
and fiona from corrie ran off with the stiff upper lip deputy on secondment to Africa.

thank you for the info!
I wont bother getting hooked on it this time, especially as I am in my final year of AAT and can do without the distractions!!

(I kind of fell out with it because the names are so outrageous!)

it will all be ok as bob the builder is now working there.

[StrawberryMartini]

I thought it was FAB!!! At least they showed kids really playing up which is completely true in RL. Loved the staff walk-out!

Agree with all comments on Aspergers. Where was the SENCO and the team of TAs!
