GCSE exam last week. I am doing a maternity cover at really nice school. As I was heading to lesson in front of me was Year 11 pupil from my class & I overheard her say to her friend who had just asked how did you do? “Fu Beachcomber didn’t help at all” She turned & saw me & was embarrassed. I was teaching her the next lesson so asked could I have word. She said I didn’t mean to be disrespectful but other teacher prepared us for the questions & told us what they were going to be. I said “well it’s different in Year 10 as you’re being trained up to answer a specific question”. I felt really upset that she was so rude. I don’t want to escalate it & open a can of worms but feel really annoyed when all the others in the class have been so appreciative. I have worked tirelessly to get them ready for exam & just feel so deflated.
