Whatever your child is like, some primary schools and nurseries are pretending children start off at the low end, so they can pretend to inspectors of private and state schools that the child has developed only because of their teaching. If your child's advanced , some schools in rich areas take it out on the child. They won't bother giving the child attention, because the child's advanced, so they let the child coast downwards. But they give reports in writing about the child that pretend the child has started off at a low point in development and then got much better because of the teaching at the school....when the fact is the child was able to read or write when the child started at the school and as the school is giving the child little attention, the child has coasted downwards. Tha's what many schools do so they can pretend they've developed everything in the child, they want all children to be the same standard, like a photocopier. Poor children. Some teachers admit they're cheating and don't take the reports seriously and write them to impress inspectors. This is happending all over the show and I can't understand why inspectors are allowing them to get away with it. If parents start grading teachers in the school every three months the teachers won't be able to hide what's going on to the inspectors and teachers who are pretending might stop. Teachers that aren't giving inspectors the facts need to be stopped...they're not giving children an honest education.

Fair point!

Trolls get outwitted by goats though (they are not very bright Wink)

what really annoys me is that I can't remember what I said in my post that was deleted [grrr]

cumbrialass · 20/01/2013 18:18

We're going to get moaned at for not taking the problem seriously enough, we clearly don't care for the children!

Feenie · 20/01/2013 18:18

I would like to know too!

mrz · 20/01/2013 18:23

I care about the children ...I just don't care for the OP

Strictly1 · 20/01/2013 18:27

Well you've made me laugh as one of those ghastly, cheating teachers that you talk about! There are so many flaws in what you suggest, and no, you haven't hit a nerve. I work incredibly hard (as do many in all sorts of professions) and I teach my class as I hope my son is taught. I am yet to teach a class that are of the same level, and how would it be possible to achieve such a thing? Do I get the able to unlearn what they know? What a load of rubbish but hey ho, we are all entitled to our opinions.

yoyo123 · 20/01/2013 18:28

rubbish!

sausagesandwich34 · 20/01/2013 18:29

DDs english teacher

I think she is engaging, strict but fair and consistent, assess the children well and focuses on their weaker areas whilst still challenging them to further develop their strengths, has high expectations of her class and encourages every child to reach their full potential

my friend who also has a dd in the same class and with the same attainment level as my dd, thinks she is a jumped up cow who doesn't know what she is talking about

and that is why parent assessment will never work!

yoyo123 · 20/01/2013 18:29

to the op that is....

richmal · 20/01/2013 18:35

Having read many of the responses on this thread, I'm glad I decided to home educate.

mrz · 20/01/2013 18:39

perhaps you could give the OP tips

Feenie · 20/01/2013 18:55

Me too, richmal. Wink

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 20/01/2013 18:59

I do like it when everyone is happy Smile

mrz · 20/01/2013 19:02

I'm not happy that I can't remember what I had written

exoticfruits · 20/01/2013 19:14

What utter rubbish OP!

Jux · 20/01/2013 19:14

Oh fgs, twiggles.

I'm not a teacher, but am studying for my 3rd degree, and am not stupid.

Precisely how do you know this?

Your paragraphs are so boring and rambling and repetitive, and make you sound bonkers.

exoticfruits · 20/01/2013 19:14

Some people get some very strange ideas.

sunshine401 · 20/01/2013 19:26

:(
If you truly believe this then fine. But I'm afraid to write such a statement as "Fact" you do need to provide evidence. Do you have any?? If not It might be wise to not (in future rambles) say something is happening when you actually do not have a clue.

Feenie · 20/01/2013 19:29

Or to provide links when airily chucking round assertions like 'Oh, it's on the news, honest.'

Labro · 20/01/2013 19:31

Agree with sausagesandwich, I have had my fair share of fallings out with different teachers and their attitudes to ds, normally when they have made a comment in a report which I consider to be generalised or making ds out to be a problem when he's missed lessons due to illness etc, BUT as I've said before, I visit the teacher, if no resolution can be found then I ask to see deputy head and then the headmaster, in the same way I would ask to see the manager of a shop if the customer service was poor, but making huge generalisations about all schools and all teachers with an unquantified 'some' when you actually mean your own childs school means the credibility of your post fails completely

Labro · 20/01/2013 19:34

Oh and please try to remember that teachers are human therefore also subject to human failings (such as feeling ill yet still trying to teach 30 six year olds) when others would give up.

thegreylady · 20/01/2013 19:42

I have a 2i from lancaster university and a teaching qualification and 30 years teaching experience with pupils from 5 to 16 and teacher training experience and exam board experience and I have 2 dc,3sdc and 9dgs[just setting out qualifications].
I have never ever come across the behaviour described by twiggles and the idea of parents grading teachers is a joke.
Johnny didnt get an A grade-he would have done if it hadnt been for the cheating teacher-Hmm
I cant be bothered with this nonsense but wanted to stand up and be counted.
