Teacher Films the ‘Truth’
Karen's Blog!
I agree with Karen on this subject. The hierarchy of the teaching profession have no idea of what really goes on in the classroom today, and they would not last five minutes in a classroom scenario. I think the teaching council now need to acknowledge that there is a serious behaviour and discipline problem in a number of schools. Instead of trying to conceal these issues with false statistics, they could at least attempt to try and resolve these difficulties for the sake of the children who would like a decent education. I watched an interview on ITV's This Morning programme with Alex Dolan, the teacher who carried out the secret filming of the behaviour of some children in a number of schools. I believe that Alex was simply trying to expose the truth to encourage public awareness, and to prompt action that quite obviously needs to be taken. I do not believe she was trying to make a mockery of the schools and the head teachers involved, as some people have suggested. As Karen has said, maybe the ‘top dogs’ of the teaching world should have a go at teaching a class for a day or two, and let’s see how many lesson targets and learning outcomes they actually achieve.
