I did cover for a year 6 class (their teacher is the DH) and their rudeness and behaviour was shocking.... Not in a throwing chairs or anything, but blatant chatting whilst I was waiting/wanting to give instruction, then they answered me back, shouting back at me saying things like 'oh do you know my name?; We fold our arms when the teacher wants us quiet (with a particular snarl); don't give him a warning he didn't do anything'.
So, I raised my voice tremendously, slammed my folder down and gave them what for. Sent one boy out who carried on answering me back, threatened to report to the head teacher and phone home etc.
got their attention, set them on their task, things were better, but observing their behaviour it was still not to my standard. I think though it was 'usual' for the school/class teacher.
I'm visiting the school as part of our academy integration, so have been teaching some time.
An I being precious?
