AAARRGGHHH<br /><br />Actually I signed him up for maxicours.com where they have the whole programme online plus exercises, a revision programme, and useful stuff like dicos. He was remarkably unenthusiastic...<br /><br />On it this morning, he rang to say he hadn't done any of the subjects, 2/3 of the way through the school year so couldn't do the exercises. I didn't believe him.

Ah, fifteen year old boys. Al...Love the new look!<br /><br />Ah, fifteen year old boys. Always trying to do the bare minimum. I put several in detention every week to get homework out of them. We have an understanding; they coast along not doing homework for a week or two, I put them in detention to make them work, they save face with their peers, they don't fail their exams.

It is very difficult to put things in perspective at the time.<br />These letters was in todays Daily Telegraph.<br /><br />"SIR – At the end of my first term at Radley, the warden wrote: “He may be the youngest in the school, but there is no need for him to be the worst behaved.” <br /><br />There is hope for us all, as I became a headmaster. <br /><br />David Prichard<br />Sherborne, Dorset"<br /><br />and another.<br /><br />"SIR – I remember my last school report from my public school (Letters, March 31). The headmaster wrote: “At least his education hasn’t gone to his head.” <br /><br />William Alderney<br />Malpas, Cheshire"Johnny Norfolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16900659617233793880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-87557290586015390682010-03-31T21:38:57.853+02:002010-03-31T21:38:57.853+02:00Thank you Dash.

Nice of the teacher to be so understanding regarding his crise d'adolescence. I am sure he will get the message and come out the other end OK.Dashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05329090600374787029noreply@blogger.com
