Seem to be forever chasing pupils of all ability to complete tasks. Break time, lunchtime, after school - no pupil is 'allowed' to fail. But 90% have no self discipline and it seems like a game. Pupils will not show at break/lunch time and a letter is then sent home to give notice of after school detention. Repeat offenders likely to not show for the detention (it is my job to remind them apparently!) A new detention must then be arranged. All very time consuming.
Not just me, most staff here feel the same. Have only taught in this school so not sure if it is a problem in this particular school or just a way of life in secondary.
Is this the way it is? Don't think I can carry on like this!
