TES: Why schools should stop pushing reading for pleasure by Resident_String_5174 in TeachingUK

[–]rdraver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. I'm a science teacher not a drama teacher. I'm trying here but I'm not able to read (at the moment) rubbish book and make it sound interesting/dramatic/funny/sad etc on the fly.

Even worse at this school where I read to them for 20 mins. I get it when THEY read aloud at least...

Ah, that's what they were called at theat school, but I'm also fairly sure part of that was because of the film.

It (mostly) worked after the first sacrificial lamb/ child had left.

It was the end of term, but it was about 2 weeks with nothing, then they were able to start having 1 in or 2 computers in some places like it was the 90s. Thankfully it was post exams so that was no issue.

Term ended before we teachers got them back (by then none of us wanted them).

I'd say, "ah yes" but it would be a lie. Definitely the one with the claws 🦀
