 weebecka:I am, by the way on topic - the topic being - why do A-levels seem to be dumbed down now.
We have two large primary schools in our town Curly. One serves the posher end of of town, the other is in the council estate. The former scores 'outstanding' on ever count. The latter school has a Montessori influence. Reception and Year 1 self plan multisensory tasks. The focus of the curriculum at this stage is on socialisation and building the concrete experiences of the world on which students education is then constructed with strong foundations (the wider experiences continue throughout the school). The reception class are famous for being seen crocadiling round town, on visits every week. By the summer they join the whole school on a long hike. As soon as it snows they down tools and learn to snowball fight safely. The students all get along - there is very little bullying and there are few factions. The school absorbs the students who have failed or been bullied at other local primary schools easily. Poor behaviour ceases to be an issue because the skills assumed and taught are different. Parents are invited into the classrooms at the beginning and end of the school day so that issues are rapidly, easily and effectively resolved. The is a major autistic unit and all the autistic children are integrated into the main school to the fullest extent possible. There are no issues with this school (academic progress is very good given the cohort) but instead of scoring all 1s, like the first school (where the parents wait outside the school wall at the end of the day) it scores all 2s. So now it's to be improved by the first school. Why's that then curlygirly? I'm not primary, I don't understand. Errr, how is this on topic? weebecka: But my presence here is far more dominant that is appropriate because I'm fending off the bizarre personal attacks which still keep coming from the people who are exempt from being sanctioned on this forum. Why is that again curlygirly?
Bizarre personal attacks? I'm not the one who has threatened other posters, or posted bizarre PMs!I think the reason you are subject to scrutiny is because you put yourself forward as an expert and yet the methodology you have shatred is questionable. People are bound to question your credibility, as you don't seem to have stayed anywhere for any length of time. It is very easy to keep changing role and moving on, far more challenging to start a process of change and see it through successfully. Also your habit of getting posters names wrong is irritating at best and I would say it's actually downright rude.No one on this forum is exempt from sanction as far as I am aware. If you have a problem with a post, report it. If the Mods agree they will remove it. If you feel subject to personal abuse, report it, if the mods agree they will remove it.i suggest you go and have a read of the opinion forum and see what's going on over there, I think you need to develop a thicker skin. No wonder you found your pupils a challenge! I have not breached the T and C and had to ask to have my post removed Weebecka, which is where we differ.I'm not sure why you address your question directly to me as I have seen other posters who have attacked you far more aggressively and vigorously. I'm just raising a few perfectly valid questions.If you can't stand the heat.....
