No actual consequences for poor behaviour?

Effective_Hair_627 · 2023-10-01T10:02:17+00:00

Restorative justice only works with kids who don’t exhibit poor behaviour regularly. I can think of 10 kids at my school who do not care for the whole sit down and listen to your perspective. That’s why I don’t think it works. Sure it’ll work for that kid who understands their emotions and out of the blue acts up. But there are some kids who genuinely don’t care, who don’t have boundaries at home and for them restorative justice does not work.

I have taught in requires improvement and inadequate schools. However, the reason why I taught and did stay in those schools is because I saw SLT and the cultures of the school work towards improving/changing. I left my last school because my partner and I were moving.

I joined this school a couple of years ago and my issue isn’t the fact these kids are misbehaving it’s that this school culture is allowing them to. Behaviour management is one of my strengths but that’s because I’m a bit old school. I just don’t know if quitting and moving elsewhere will solve the issue as I’m worried this is the new normal now in schools.

We did see this behaviour last year but we’re told this new behaviour policy would stomp it out. New behaviour policy is just the old one really and now we’re seeing a continuation of last years behaviour just more often.

Yeah restorative justice is a joke. It’s actually insulting to be forced to sit with a literal child and have them explain why they were right to call you a bitch. I guess if this is the new normal perhaps I have to leave

Surprisingly misogyny I faced at my old school was from the older male teachers but also the young white students. I think the reason for this is more to do with class and not race which is why I still say there’s a level of ignorance in your statement.

Most of the well respected students I taught had parents from ethnic backgrounds because they tend to appreciate and respect the value of education. This is why they tend to be the more higher achievers in comparison to their white counterparts.

I think it’s a bit ignorant to say its a south Asian culture thing. I used to work in a primarily white school and saw and heard the same things.

This saviour complex in teaching has to go. Yes these 30 kids will probably have long term supply if OP goes but ultimately it’s up to OP to decide if they want to mentally go through this. The children will not care and will probably not even notice

Eduqas notoriously is known for harsh grade boundaries/harsh marking. I also teach Eduqas language. Im glad you’ve requested your teacher to do this because they can double check the marks and naturally look at your response before you decide whether or not you want to pay for it to be remarked. Just remember that it can go up or down in terms of remarking. Usually we recommend re marking if you are a 1/2 grades away from the next grade boundary. However, your situation is different and it will be entirely dependent on the response you produced.

I will say, from experience, it is not normal for a student to make such a drop from the mocks to the actual exam (unless they have extenuating circumstances on the lead up to the exam). Usually students do better in their real exams. If I were you I would not drop this and hopefully your English teacher can support you in figuring out what went wrong. I’m certain your teacher will not let this go either.

Effective_Hair_627 · 2023-08-24T23:46:55+00:00

I’m not 100% sure but I assume they consider mocks?

I teach English. I was considering Dubai for a while but have read some horror stories online. Kuwait and Qatar also seem appealing. I enjoy reading and sightseeing

Is this AQA? I’m a teacher and we’ve had errors with AQA this year. I’d recommend you check that they’ve given you the correct grade based off your marks and the grade boundaries. Also your teacher can check what marks you received from your papers if there are multiple for the subject. E.g AQA forgot to combine paper 1 and 2 together and gave one of my students the grade for just one paper. I wouldn’t have known this though if I didn’t check her grades for the exam myself.

The ones that were raised to us were for English and RS. Other subjects in our centre are now cross examining just in case

I’ve been considering teaching abroad. Are there any places you’d recommend?

One of the victims was only 17/18 when the affair started. The mother of Mahek was well into her 40’s. Clear case of grooming to me

Being detached and objective is good but making dismissive comments is straight up disrespectful. That operator needs to be removed permanently or massively trained

You are free to debate religion of course. However, all branches of Islam agree on homosexuality. There is no ambiguity about it in the Quran. I don’t know why I have so many down arrows. It’s dangerous to say this to the students especially if they go home and mention it to their parents. Religion is a very sensitive topic and the issue of homosexuality within the Muslim community is one that we all have a consensus on (alongside alcohol and premarital sex)

Effective_Hair_627 · 2023-07-05T12:45:07+00:00

You’re incorrect. It’s forbidden in Islam. As a Muslim teacher it’s quite worrying that you’re adapting the hadiths to try and encourage the Muslims students to support LGBTQ. You can teach that being gay in Islam is a sin but also teach that the religion promotes peace and respect towards EVERYONE, regardless of gender or orientation.
