To Bolton Then

In at 9. Out at 3.

14 weeks holiday a year.

Job done.

 

I was going to say weekends and holidays. But apparently teachers spend all their weekends and holidays in marking and preparation. Or so their leaders say.

 

Teach full time, scout in spare time (if my schedule allows). Posting on here isn't exactly time consuming with access to a mobile phone.

 

yeah, we do it for all the free time we get.

 

That sounds like the progressive thinker's response to the challenge of reducing spelling mistakes in written work.

 

Everywhere. Writing skills aren't just fine motor based, they can be something as simple as forming a letter in the air, using manipulatives to make words and so on.

 

I heard of a similar technique for teaching maths. It sounded like pi in the sky to me.

 

Sounds impressive but in actuality meaningless bullshit. Proper teachers years ago would have fallen about laughing at that new age drivel.

 

****s sake, so are we chucking tennis balls on pitch or what? Wtf is this thread sheds and bastard fence posts, no a demonstration, get with it you ****ing idiots

 

Which goes to show you have absolutely no ****ing idea what you're on about.

Talking of reducing spelling mistakes, here is a demonstration by the brightest products of our education system. Maybe they would have got it right if they had made movements in the air or manipulative whatever. At least that way their ineptness wouldn't have been evident for everyone to see.

Send me a letter written that way and I'll reply.

 

so writing in the curriculum is all about using a pencil is it? You aren't helping your case here. Air writing is usually used in foundation stage to help children remember letter formation before they get to stage 2/3 of phonics. It all comes under writing.

 

I doff me hat to you. I went for panels, and they're great looking tbh, not sure I'd cope with trying to make the ****ers so kudos to you for that.

Week after next got a bloke coming in to lay a new patio, I did me bit by buying the slabs.

Can you do something about the ****s arguing about how to write? Hate it when people go off on their own little rambles in threads, it's ****ing unpolite, that's what it is.

 

Bastard

 

I'll put up a thread about computer games for everybody to post about cycling on. Or how to play bridge. Whatever that is.
