To side with teacher over dd?

P5 DGS who has some wild children in his class was telling us about his new teacher. Mr x. How does he deal with the cheeky ones? we enquired.
Mr x stands at the front of the class and waits and everyone sits down in their seats. DGS is very impressed.
Some people command authority just by their presence.
It helps that Mr x is tall, well built, youngish and male
IMO more men should go into teaching. Children need male role modenruuunnuuf.jj.

He did his work Art I believe. Oh he understood the punishment or at least should have after being told 3 times

My goodness gillybob we used to stick labels on the child’s sweatshirts with their name written on and by the end of the day we knew all the names. I think name association with animals is just plain silly. What if you are called Ellie- would that be Ellie the elephant. Absolutely ridiculous imo.

I have tried to write standing up and it is quite difficult to do while leaning forward for any length of time. Back breaking too I shouldn't wonder.

Exactly Boosgran The little girl to whom I was referring was not called Ellie, but you did get the animal right. The teacher thought is was quite funny but the child was very upset.

Like in all walks of life there are some people who are quite brilliant at what they do, there are others who are mediocre and others who are poor.

Fortunately my DGC have mostly had good teachers in their primary school, although my DGS (year 4) has not had a proper teacher since November and they are on to supply teacher number 5 or even possibly 6.

I agree with that.

Spot on gillybob. Agree with you. My granddaughter is in year 1 and has had supply teachers all year because her own teacher went ‘trouble shooting ‘ at another school and never came back.
