I loved working with children, but there's no doubt that being locked up with about 30 of them for 30 hours a week isn't a 'normal' experience, or an easy one.
I also felt the tensions in my later career, when more of the curriculum was imposed from above, because I was used to doing things in depth, not flitting about in the ways that became fashionable. I know things have gone full circle now, but during that period when SATs results became the main focus, almost everything I'd stood for seemed to be under attack and it was very disheartening.
No doubt the same sorts of thing have happened in the NHS with targets, quotas and so on. Everyone likes the results if they 'improve,' and no one may question sufficiently just how they were achieved! :rotfl:
I've never done any tutoring. I've no objections to others doing it, but I never wanted to charge privately for teaching.
I suppose this goes back to my days in primary school and having extra maths lessons at the home of a very stern, somewhat bearded lady, called Miss Braddick.
There was nothing Miss Braddick didn't know about fractions, but I was just very scared and spent most of my time quaking at the scariness of her dark, Victorian house and the weirdness of her facial hair. :eek:
If I learned anything, it was simply so that I could stop going there!:rotfl:
Well blood test done, think if I need more etc I will def ask to have them done first thing in the morning, as now I got the rest of the day to injoy..was talking to hubby yesterday.. And said since we made / forced to make the decision to close our main business, I have not had a dizzy spell.....
Was going to do some sorting and listing for the bay today, but as its such a nice day, think I will skip that and make the most of the weather ...as they have forecasted rain for the weekend...
I take my hat off to people who try to help people through their emotions and trauma that they have been through...
