It's also a pretty important job - getting it right can have a huge impact on kids. I so wish they would fund to reduce class sizes. 30 plus kids is just too many to give meaningful input to! I also think really good training is needed! Effective PSHE would probably fall somewhere between a lesson and counselling!<br /><br />I also don't think it's just teachers that should give this input. Children's centres and other professionals can help too.Molly Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322262170382594290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438823154447008264.post-61475886900144139672009-11-28T10:25:16.585+00:002009-11-28T10:25:16.585+00:00No, it was very interesting.

I don't believe the death penalty is any good whatsoever as a deterrent anyway because the majority of people committing a crime firmly believe they will not get caught! <br /><br />What makes me get a bit depressed is when every time I look at the education pages on the internet versions of any newspaper, it is always stories about how teachers are doing a terrible job, like the one my friend told us the other day about "teachers are not disciplining children at school and are turning out children who have learned nothing but how to be criminals." I think most teachers really try to do a good job, but sometimes children have such an awful time at home that no amount of good teaching could sort it out. But all the negative media attention makes me so miserable! Every now and then it would be nice to see an article saying something positive about teachers!Nikkinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438823154447008264.post-46191039860910074642009-11-27T15:51:56.836+00:002009-11-27T15:51:56.836+00:00I hope that wasn't too heavy or contraversial....I hope that wasn't too heavy or contraversial...I aim to be neither!Molly Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322262170382594290noreply@blogger.com
