And so the question I would ask is what advice do you have on how a student can improve their performance?
And, to be honest, it should be a given but making use of the revision sessions. There were 2 students in my Year 11 class this year who turned up to the optional revision sessions and did minimal work; ended up sitting on their phones and watching Youtube videos. I couldn't punish them as their school attendance was optional anyway so I had to leave them to it and focus on those who were receptive. It was a wasted opportunity though and it's no surprise that they didn't get their C grade.
But, yes, number one is to ask for help. Even asking for help on TSR is incredibly helpful. -

* Gossiping about other teachers
* Football/TOWIE/Game of Thrones
Can't think of much else. Contrary to popular belief, we don't talk about students all that much. -

i) The quality of the pupils' learning should not be compromised
ii) A massive amount of funding is not required. (Though a small funding requirement would be ok)Last edited by theOldBean; 23-08-2014 at 19:32. -

Is there a way in which the Government could make teachers' lives easier, subject to the following conditions?
i) The quality of the pupils' learning should not be compromised
ii) A massive amount of funding is not required. (Though a small funding requirement would be ok) -

On the whole they did okay. There's one I'm really not happy about, without being too specific, but I know she probably didn't put enough work in. She should have got at least 2 grades higher than what she got. -

Do students ask you 'how is this going to help me in real life sir?' A lot and what is your response.

I've also had a few instances of students teasing each other which has then led to a fight in the classroom. -

I don't bother to go into all that stuff about constructing bridges
a) because I don't really understand it fully enough to be able to explain how they are connected
b) because the students are often, in my experience, just using that question as an excuse for not trying with the work.
I usually find I get this question asked to me when I give a detention to a student for not doing enough work or chatting too much. -
