If a child is bullied/neglected/deprived at home for 5 years. then he starts with a massive disadvantage at school If a child lives in a chaotic, violent atmosphere loaded with anxiety, having no consistent structure, no boundaries and intermittant affection then he starts school with a massive disadvantage. Add a school day composed mostly of sitting and listening. Give him a series of tasks that he is unable to do with any understanding. What do you get: a disaffected, often disruptive child, unable to learn effectively. In my experience of 30 years of teaching 4-8 year olds they most definately do not begin as equals. When you have one teacher and 30 children there is no way this deficit can be made up. Well intentioned initiatives are introduced, run a little while then are chopped. And remember, for many, many children, their lives outside school continue to be chaotic. How can teachers make headway against this background? The solution? Make it a requirement of being an MP that their children attend state schools! And make it illegal in deprived areas for the number of children, especially at 5 to be in a class of more than 12(you know, like private school boast of).<br />Well, Gill, I certainly feel better for that!!Tricia Caseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624674970987516692.post-80650264160869693392012-06-01T09:35:45.160-07:002012-06-01T09:35:45.160-07:00Good afternoon Sara and Giulia
