My school is in no way "challenging" in the scheme of things, although to Mr Chips it might have seemed like an asylum, but still I cannot believe the audacity of what goes on...Ranting Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15511994675532378693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937205822682397549.post-11960239404420555142008-10-09T20:47:00.000+01:002008-10-09T20:47:00.000+01:00Sadly, what you say about the total lack of bounda...Sadly, what you say about the total lack of boundaries is something I see every day as well. I teach at a couple of fairly... er... "challenging" secondaries, and it's quite routine for me - well, most of us - to experience this sort of behaviour several times a day. These kids have practically NO social skills; I've had comments about my clothes, hair, make-up etc. and there's absolutely no realisation from the kids that that's not the sort of comments they should be making to someone 30+ years their senior.<BR/><BR/>For my part, I don't let them get away with it either, and will always pick them up - if a kid demands a pen, I ignore them until they ask and use the word please, and certainly don't tolerate being yelled at; but the trouble is that some staff seem to have given up trying to combat this sort of behaviour, and when one teacher lets kids get away with it, and another doesn't, then of course they're going to keep doing it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
