Lesson Observation

[Bollux]

Finally, I have proved the senior management at my school wrong, I am not **** after all.

Just had a lesson observation and it was graded as "good", the best being outstanding but who gives one? She was a right old battle axe as well!

WOOHOO!

 

[jayjedi]

you dont think they missed the "god" off the end then bollux :lol:

 

[Bollux]

:lol: :lol: As in Good god thats the best piece of teaching I have ever seen, I can retire now, safe in the knowledge that I will never see better than that?

 

[jayjedi]

er no, i meant as in "god good, how do we let people like this take charge of our children, we are all ****ed and would be better off moving to New Zealand as the futre generation of english kids are going to be mentally retarded after this bloke has finished with them.....

but your answer was GOOD to bollux :lol:

Nice one Bollux 8)

How did the other teachers get on?
Tell me senior management were ****!?

 

[Bollux]

unfortunately its not ofsted, its senior management spying on us

 

[weasel]

Aaahhhh, so rather than actually teach the kids (which is what teachers are supposed to do, unless I missed something) they decided their time would be better spent assessing you, on top of the Ofsted assessment!? :?

 

[Bollux]

thats exactly what happened mate.

**** em i did a good job today and do every day...i just had to jump through hoops today. glad to know i can still do a model lesson when needed

 

[weasel]

Bunch of ****ing idiots!

Surely they can tell how effective your methods are by the results your kids get?

 

[Bollux]

you would think so wouldnt you?

sure Gary has to do just the same

Oh my God how true is that!!!!!

We had ofsted last year.

I was one of the few teachers seen :roll:

Before that, had the Headteacher come in and see me teach.

I almost got a grade one for that lesson. The only reason i didn't? Because the kids didn't speak up enough.

Like I can ****ing make them speak. They were all shitting themselves because the head teacher was in the room :twisted:

That would make sense but sadly it doesn't work.

I run my own department (RE) We get the best results in the school.

Average school pass rate 53%
My department 75%

Within the Faculty (Humanities) I'm one of four department heads. my results far outstrip them, geography 35% History 48% for example.

Yet I get the most grief.

Why?

Because I'm the least organised in terms of paper work. :roll:

 

[Bollux]

Senior management are useless!
They just constantly worry about how everything "looks" to the outside world, **** that! Do my kids leave with high grades yes, do I piss about a bit and have a laugh with them? yes!

**** them! :twisted:

 

[weasel]

There is no way I would last as a teacher, if it wasn't for verbally abusing the kids, bringing back the cane, and probably hitting on the 6th form girls, I'd be sacked for pointing out to senior staff how ****ing stupid their ideas where.

Feel sorry for you guys, although you do 4 times as many days off as me!

 

[sith-smith]

Well said mate.

At the end of the day, all that should matter is that the kids benefit from having been taught by you and that they leave school having done well.

There is something seriously ****ed up when teachers/senior management are more concerned with how things look than with the results the kids get! :?

 

[sith-smith]

things are seriously ****ed up in education at the moment :evil:

 

[Bollux]

as long as i know that i do right by the kids i teach thats alright with me

 

[sith-smith]

Same here.

I just wish I could get management of my back so I could do it better.

 

[lee gray]

you would think so wouldnt you?

sure Gary has to do just the same

Well done bollux and we never did find out what happened with Gary after the bust up at his school

i bet you teachersare more excited about seeing kids toys than the kids are
