Hi All
Somebody save my sanity please.
I have a "delightful" group of Year 10's who are driving me nuts!
As is usual in Business Studies they are VERY mixed ability. I also have the
misfortune to have 6 of the naughtiest boys in the year, a group of 27, only
3 girls, ability from predicted A/A* to U, but only 7 are C to A*. The
three-quarters who are D and below are all male, hate videos, have an
attention span measured in seconds and I dare not turn my back on them
because of the behaviour problems!
The Head's suggestion is more pace and more practical activities! I'm in
desperate need of some games, simulations, activities which are going to
enable me to make some progress with them. I'm teaching Finance and Accounts
at the moment ... how much they are learning is highly debatable!
I need some sanity savers, not just for myself but the handful who actually
want to be there (as opposed to the majority who were hopeless at French and
Art so had to do Business Studies!!!!)
All contributions gratefully received (before I end up in the funny farm!)
Julie
