The aggressive responses and references to “whining” and “STFU” demonising parents at the end of their tethers who dare to criticise any teacher anywhere does make you appear defensive and unprofessional. Despite the protestations you know this is inadequate.
I am simply saying the consensus here (including from parents who are teachers themselves) is that it would really help if an explanation were given with new content or link to someone explaining new maths content. It takes me a considerable amount of time googling and tracking down explanations every day. Of course I am delighted to help my child and I do so but I have to work at the same time. A little more support (15 minute pre recorded explanation) would really help us.
The teaching from my elder dd secondary is brilliant as the teachers are engaged and they have a strong SLT The contrast with the primary is therefore stark.
The problem is, is that the constant threads and posts from posters like you gets responses that are more and more aggressive because it is not as simple as what you are wanting here and it’s frustrating.
Mainly because, in your case, there are vastly more teachers to spread the work around at Secondary, they usually have more money than Primaries and the equipment and Primary teachers have fewer teachers to choose from regarding their keyworker rotas and Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 going back. It is not as simple as ‘they are a good school’ and ‘they are not’.
From vast differences in budget and size I mention alone, between Secondaries and Primaries, coupled with the fact that what you would like isn’t what others would necessarily like, to the poor guidance provided by the government, culminating in the fact that you will not get your outcome by posting on all the schools threads as infinitum. You just won’t.
All that happens is that other teachers see it and it grinds them down unfairly. Even if you are completely genuine, others are not (another thread on this topic was deleted by MNHQ again last night). It’s relentless. The problem with the ‘whining’ (and it was a parent on this thread who mentioned this first) is that it does lead to teacher bashing. If a thread was started with a genuine question about a specific issue to that poster, it would go a very different way (as many do).
It is the generalisations that are the problem and it is a shame you and others cannot see that.
So when posters keep saying that they are receiving nothing from their schools, it is rarely the case as this shows but the damage caused from these statements is vast. A poster may want specific resources but that can only be solved by either asking for them at their school, finding something yourself or skipping that task. None of these choices warrants the amount of vitriol on Mumsnet that teachers are receiving currently.
I’ll end by saying again, that if it is video explanations that you want, put your child in front of the Oak National Academy lessons. You will find you can do more of your own work then and happiness all round. It is was the government decided to fund, after all.
