Jane I understand what you're getting at but I think most of the teachers I had at my Comprehensive school (with the exception of my English teacher in the 5th form) and my friends who are or have been teachers might find this slightly insulting. I'd say in the main they encouraged and tried to understand our viewpoint, and above all where generally civil - ok, one or two may have been a bit sarcastic at times but I can live with that and perhaps that was educational in it's own way? Thinking about this reminded me of the story we were told by a friend teaching in SW London several years ago (not Putney but not too far away). After one lesson where the children had been difficult to control the son of a recent family of immigrants came and apologised to her about his behaviour in the lesson. His said he just wanted to be one of the British crowd and not appear different but he knew his parents would be annoyed if they thought he was wasting the opportunity of a free education; presumably, something the British children thought their parents wouldn't worry about? |
