Am looking forward to it! If it's done well I think it might be a bit of an eye opener!

I'm wondering why the parents seem amused at Maisy's behaviour? Shouldn't they be concerned? Confused

VivaLeBeaver · 14/07/2011 22:49

I think they're embarrassed.

megapixels · 14/07/2011 22:50

Oh, right.

jetgirl · 14/07/2011 22:52

Am Shock at how they let Corey get away with a 20 min food break!

Taken out to get some breakfast? (Looks like jam on toast).
Wow. That looks a bit of a treat for him.
I'm sure DD's school wouldn't do this. And I'm glad - she'd probably be in that kitchen having a chat and jam whenever she could.

I don't know.
It must affect those (role model) children who the teacher's deliberately sitting the disruptive ones next to.
It doesn't seem fair on them. But I don't know what the answer is.

Have just started watching and I'm appalled. James wants to learn but apparently it's his problem he is picked on. Am I missing something here? Confused

MollieO · 14/07/2011 23:13

I suppose it is the editing but I'm not impressed by the standard of teaching.

ggirl · 14/07/2011 23:15

my dd used to always get the naughty kid sat next to her. we moaned about it regularly to no avail

MollieO · 14/07/2011 23:17

I think doing that is lazy teaching.

TheCrackFox · 14/07/2011 23:17

I wouldn't have agreed to my DCs taking part in this programme.

I haven't been impressed with the standard of teaching (understatement) or the HT (too casual) but then it might have been edited this way.

I have turned over, the whole TV show should never have been commissioned.

Sandalwood · 14/07/2011 23:18

ikwym re the teaching. Seems wishy-washy.

ggirl do you think it had a detrimental affect on her learning?
Silly question. It must do.

LunaMoth · 14/07/2011 23:19

Adults forget what it's like to be 7 - we shouldn't judge children so harshly and to our standards....

Niecie · 14/07/2011 23:20

The teacher was brave to agree to do this. I can't see how she can come out of this looking good.

MollieO · 14/07/2011 23:21

Listening to James breaks my heart. I spend chunks of my annual leave to attend school stuff.

ggirl · 14/07/2011 23:21

she was very bright
they said she enjoyed it and got a lot out of it. We were sceptical as she would never have moaned to the teacher about it. she did to us though.
I'mnot sure it held her back. She did very well in yr 6 sats,level 5s.

She enjoyed senior school more becasue of the streaming.

ggirl · 14/07/2011 23:23

maisie's for it

megapixels · 14/07/2011 23:24

Luna it is Year 4. So the children are turning 9 during the course of the year. I notice that the children seem very immature compared to my DD's year 4 class though.

HuwEdwards · 14/07/2011 23:24

What the flying fuck are Maisie's parents on?

ggirl · 14/07/2011 23:24

light turns on in maisie's parents brains

VivaLeBeaver · 14/07/2011 23:26

The classroom environment does seem very uninspiring. I'd be bored in that class and boredom leads to arising about.

Masie needs a boot up the bum.

VivaLeBeaver · 14/07/2011 23:27

Just realised the brunette is the ht, thought she was the ta.

ggirl · 14/07/2011 23:28

yy me too

Niecie · 14/07/2011 23:28

Don't like attendance awards.
