Is this the prog where they let the parents watch their children in class? It was on the other night. Parents thought it was really funny that their children were naughty - morons!
I felt sorry for the lad who didn't take his awards and certs home because his mum wasn't interested.

[Postdog]

no it wasn't. It was a one off monologue describing a teachers view of coping with the education system as it is today and his ultimate loss of control and restraint.

[daisya]

Ah I've recorded that one and yet to watch it. OMG if it's one where I will rant at the screen then I will have to take a tablet before watching lol. Seriously though, lots wrong with society today and imo down to how (or not) parents bring up their children. Will be interested to see this programme though I hope I don't get too worked up over it!

[Wrongn3mber]

Okay tommy-h, do any of you that have watched it have a link for the rest of us to try and understand what it is you're talking about?

[carolegif]

Well daisya, I'd advise a large g & t before you watch it, plus a couple of valium!!

This really was pretty low level disruption, though.
If they showed many secondary schools parents wouldn't believe how much time pupils spend not just on low level disruption/distractions such as using mobiles and not writing down a single word to more serious disrupion such as kicking over chairs, throwing pens and equipment at others, shouting four letter obsenities at each other, and chasing each other round and out of the room.

[Postdog]

Partly parents maybe, but in my day teachers did not have to stand idly by and take whatever was thrown at them (metaphorically and literally) because the law said so. I got the cane and the slipper a few times and itdidn't do me any harm.

[carolegif]

I think part of the problem is that the way the pupils are seated they are not facing the teacher. I taught languages and it would be impossible to teach without looking at the students.
The two little boys had serious issues though. I remember secondary school and you had a board rubber thrown at you if you even turned your head round - you's only do it once!
