    it is surprising you don't know who OldAndrew is
     

    It's not easy to find out who he is Autismuk.  I gather he's retired now so he's got no reason to conceal his identity.

     

    Well I've now officially made my mind up about whether weebecka is misunderstood or incoherent.

    No idea. I'd have thought that was obvious from my post.

    I do know of him though.

    Not knowing of "Scenes from the Battleground" suggests a lack of familiarity with the education internet.  Since Frank Chalk left teaching there are very few well written blogs from day in day out teachers who write about what schools are actually like.

    autismuk:
    weebecka got criticised by OFSTED
     

    How kind of you to like like this Autismuk.  Now why would you do that?  

    Curlygirly posted this lie too.  Why did she do that?

    My lessons have been graded outstanding during external observation Autismuk and I received only positive comments in the HMI reports. I have never had bad feedback, just some bizarrely questionable feedback which has made it apparant that the inspector has had no insight into what was going on in my classroom.  However I have seen many other seriously able teachers' health and careers destroyed by judgements during external inspections.

    Jane Jones HMI (chief inspector for maths) is the inspector to whom we are both referring.  You seem to have forgotten her name.

    Would you like me to tell you more about the consequences of her intervention at Ehenside Autismuk?  I know some were angry that I mentioned her name but they should understand there is so much I could have said and didn't. However if you or others keep raising her or lying about my observation judgements then I will assume that means you want me to publish more.

    When I saw it I realised I'd looked at it before.  The ideas in it seem very dated and bizarre.

    Are you suggesting I have a lack of familiarity with the education internet autimuk?  How funny!  You are a card!

    Ofsted didn't understand what was going on in your classroom? I can't understand why for the life of me! God, you're hilarious. The more I read the more I think you have to be a wind up merchant or seriously deluded!

    By the way weebeacka the reason that I haven't posted the name of your HMI inspector ( apart from really not caring) is because I think it's grossly unfair and unprofessional to name an hmi who gave you a hard time on here. I would imagine that Autismuk has refrained from referring to her by name for the same reason.

    In most systems (e.g. Scotland) anyone who thought they could diagnose what was going on in a classroom by turning up for part of a lesson and not speaking to the teacher would be laughed out the room curlygirly. 

    In England we have inspectors who think that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Confused

    Err you seem to think that this is news to me! I've been ofsteded ( is that a verb?) 9 times now under every guise including 3 under the current regime. I know how they work. I can assure you every inspector who's seen me teach gas seemed to understand perfectly what was going on in my classrooms. Funnily enough my colleages would in the main agree ( although those judged inadequate don't particularly like it, and tend to be very anti ofsted - funny that).

    I've had the full range if inspectors from the human to the vile, but thetvall understood what was going on in my classroom.
