While waiting out the clock before I could leave school today I got chatting to one of my pupils. ‘What you doing tonight’ he asked.
‘Planning’ I said, trying my best to ungrit my teeth and sound relaxed about the prospect. I enjoy planning on the pay for your essay most part, but tonight I am planning for a group that are increasingly becoming the unteachable in the school. ‘If I was a teacher, I wouldn’t bother planning.’ ‘Wouldn’t that be great’ I said, ‘but you remember those rubbish lessons we’ve had? well those ones I didn’t plan well for. It’s a big part of the job’. It really is, but what do you do with a group that no matter how fancy, engaging, RAG’d, differentiated, AfL’d or inclusive you try and make their lesson, they are still able to s**t all over it? Well here’s my advice, and it comes down to something I am very good at, self preservation. First it is important to stay in the game. It is absolutely unacceptable to write any child, group or class off. That is the best essays for sale eginning of the end for teachers and no matter how tempting it might be it is our job to try and give pupils some structure and <scepline to their lives, even if the school systems or senior staff don’t back this up. Take this group and go to town with them. This is actually a superb opportunity to try something new and if you can view it as such, it will make those hellish hours of self flagilation worth while. I saw a tweet today from @kennypieper stating he had the worst lesson of his career. You could just hear the disappointment in his words. Here’s a guy who has been in the game a while, writes a cracking blog and is passionate about his job. He wants to do my geometry homework be the best he can (as the blog title suggests!) We all know that feeling and it is a testement to our proffesionalism that we feel this. We don’t what to be rubbish at our jobs, we take it personally if pupils don’t enjoy or take something from the lesson, and we are sensitive, compassionate souls. It can take a while to shake that feeling off. So when you have a group of unteachables, hit them hard. Set the rules and stick to them, don’t give them an inch and follow through with every sanction you hand out. relish in seeing this through. It’s basic behaviour management (thanks to Tom Bennett for that advice!) More Resources Living in a city Are the sciences still popular in schools or are fewer people taking science subjects now?
