To think this head teacher has lost the plot?

I read this today and was just . In what world does this make any sense? By all means let's have rules about walking in an orderly manner between classes and enforce them, but this smacks of the Ministry of Silly Walks to me. I don't understand how anyone could think this was a good idea.

Being a good teacher has nothing to do with what you think of a Head - everything to do with how you relate to the kids and their parents. ;o) I might have had unusual experiences but I worked in a number of schools and rarely if ever had a colleague who didn't share my opinion of the boss.

Joffrey I'm not a teacher and so I haven't ever worked with a Head in that capacity, but I know at least one sane one - the former head at the primary my girls went to. But she made a point of teaching when she could - she was a maths specialist, very approachable, wall to wall common sense.

She retired a couple of years ago and by all accounts the guy who replaced her is a bit power crazed...

The head at the Secondary my girls now go to seems pretty sensible, but that's only from my experience as a parent. I wouldn't be a head fpr anything though. Or a teacher.

That's how things were in my primary school. There was a strict no messing around rule.
And you have to hold your hands at back.

I survive and yes corridors were always much calmer than what I have seen at my dcs school.
