I dropped my daughter off at school this morning and then she realised she had forgotten her book bag and it is a library day. I only live round the corner so I cycle home and got it for her. When I went into class I noticed today they had a student teacher a clssroom assistant and the regular teacher moving round small groups working at about 6 tables. There are about 27 in the class so the ratio today is one adult to 9 children. When I briefly went to prep school the ratio was allways about 1:12 and thats about it at my brothers kids expensive private school. So this is only one indicator but I know there are allways at least 2 adults in the class and often some sort of "learning co ordinator as well. This seems a much better ratio than when I was at state school with about 1:30 not uncommon. Generally this fits in with my overall impression that standards are higher than when I was at school. Obviously this isnt going to make the front page of the Daily Mail but bearing in mind we are probably a nation of negative moaners I am still interested in what other peoples recent experiencs of state school as a parent or pupil has been. BTW I have said elsewhere I am mildly dyslexic so if anyone wants to correct anything in terms of spelling and grammar go ahead. |

Teacher? Student teacher? Classroom assistant? One of them had to be quite fit, surely |

This is the time of year (in bristol anyway) that trainee teachers get placements at schools as part of their course AFAIK. Most of the schools i visit have as you mention, 1 teacher, an LSA and a student at the moment, which can only be a good thing. |

They've got to have 2 teachers + classroom assistant. The classroom assistants there to take the bullet/knife whilst the spare teacher phones the police and the other teacher evacuates the classroom | |

Also seem very keen on involving the kids in extra-curricular activies (snorkelling lessons and rugby in Rick's case). Very impressed. | |

The bit you missed when you cycled home was the teacher beting seven bells of shit out of your daughter for forgetting her bag. The CAs are there to hold the kids down whilst the beatings are being adminstered.

You're obsessed with school & schooling because you have the I'm-not-thick-I'm-dyslexic disease? That's my theory.

So I am talking primary school at the moment but when i was at comp no one actually hospitalised anyone else I seem to remember but some nasty kids cut the head of the school goose with a spade. Some others just after they left hung around at the school gates with sme clubs with nails in to get revenge on one of the teachers. | |
