There's tonnes of genuine teaching in schools. In fact much more than at the shit school I went to in the 80s.
Super. Glad to hear it. Heartening news.

Don't get me wrong. The exam system stinks and the system's run by idiots but teachers still teach. Maybe less so in the chain academies but even then I'm sure there are good teachers.Super. Glad to hear it. Heartening news.
Well, some of it's ok as Spangles says. Tolerance of other people's beliefs is a good thing to teach kids. Not sure what you think is taught in private schools but I'd guess it's the same or worse - look what awful people they churn out.The fact you are expected to peddle that embarrassing bullshit of course
Ok but what is in the lesson plan about Long Term Relationships? Just curious. What do you say about them?Why would it be on Zoom? Schools have been open since March. They don't even wear masks anymore.
Anyway, there are four sex ed units for y10 this year and I am alternating with their main form teacher as I'm a trainee. She's going to do some of the more embarrassing stuff, consent and family planning, for their sake (so the new middle aged man isn't launching straight into the abortions lesson) but I've got LTRs and parenting. Citizenship is centrally planned and I haven't actually looked at the lesson yet but I've previously done citizenship without reading the lesson plans first anyway. It'll probably be bollocks.
I'll try and let you know when I've looked or done it. I'll be up till midnight with the marking and planning I have as it is.Ok but what is in the lesson plan about Long Term Relationships? Just curious. What do you say about them?
That’s a ridiculous thing to say. Half the people on here have been to private school and they’re lovely. You just can’t make sweeping statements like that without sounding ignorant.Well, some of it's ok as Spangles says. Tolerance of other people's beliefs is a good thing to teach kids.

Nothing like half. A tiny proportion:That’s a ridiculous thing to say. Half the people on here have been to private school and they’re lovely. You just can’t make sweeping statements like that without sounding ignorant.
40% isn’t a tiny proportionNothing like half. A tiny proportion:
Oh dear40% isn’t a tiny proportion
Aren’t all the other options private?You've misread "not comprehensive" as "private" there Eids
No, only fee-paying and well known fee paying. Boarding school doesn't necessarily mean private either, there were boarders at my secondaryAren’t all the other options private?
Thats a stretch. I’ve never heard of that before unless it’s a special needs school like Katie Prices lad goes to.No, only fee-paying and well known fee paying. Boarding school doesn't necessarily mean private either, there were boarders at my secondary

I think the problem here is I’m assuming grammar schools are private (cos Leeds Grammar and Bradford Grammar are). But I think you are assuming they are state.Even if you assume all the boarders in that poll were at private, fee paying schools, it's still a small minority that went to a private school.

State boarding was offered to forces kids wasn’t it?Thats a stretch. I’ve never heard of that before unless it’s a special needs school like Katie Prices lad goes to.
Bradford Grammar wasn't private when my dad went there! When did this happen?I think the problem here is I’m assuming grammar schools are private (cos Leeds Grammar and Bradford Grammar are). But I think you are assuming they are state.
Nope I went to grammar school because I passed the 11+ exam (you might be too young to remember that), it was a free state school, they just filtered out the brightest (based on a single test at 11) 20% of the plebs including me.Aren’t all the other options private?
It’s a very expensive grammar school! https://www.bradfordgrammar.com/Bradford Grammar wasn't private when my dad went there! When did this happen?
'fee-paying' would be the right box to tick if someone went to a fee paying school with the word grammar in its name.
Oh is that what a ‘secondary modern’ was.Nope I went to grammar school because I passed the 11+ exam (you might be too young to remember that), it was a free state school, they just filtered out the brightest (based on a single test at 11) 20% of the plebs including me.
It didn't cost my parents anything and my three siblings went to the local secondary modern. (comphrensives were rare if non existent in the 70's)

Doing away with state grammar schools was such a mistake.
That’s mad. Was that common? I’ve never heard of that. Was it for forces kids, like someone else said?Just going on the first secondary I went to, it was an ordinary secondary that had a block for boarders. They weren't fee paying other than for boarding and it wasn't a fee paying school.
I don't know. I never thought to ask anyone, only knew a couple and wasn't matey with any reallyThat’s mad. Was that common? I’ve never heard of that. Was it for forces kids, like someone else said?
Ok. It's not quite that bad in the stuff I have read.It gets really interesting when you cover PREVENT and get a debate going with the students about the fact "extremism" is defined by the government as "vocal or active opposition to fundamental British values"
