My 11 year old's school have sent for the week just gone:
24 maths workbooks with 120 questions/problems each. (Left the pissing protractor at school. Lets go unnecessarily round Wilko shall we? That's a no.)
5 science tasks including making a boomerang, (it fell on the floor and the dog licked it. Uploaded it anyway post licking. Soz, no re-do)
4 geography tasks, 2 RE, a PE schedule. (
duck off, we've got a trampoline and Just Dance)
A request to build a prototype of a product to make a developing country safer. I think that's still Geography? (Our country might be a start at the moment mate.
)
4 Recipes to cook for home ec involving copious amounts of flour and pasta (WHERE? Have you walked round Tesco with your eyes painted on?)
6 English workbooks. Including analysing Shakespeare.
1 Drama project on Comedy. (I'm not feeling my inner Sarah Millican right now)
4 Art Projects.
Some DT
tit that I can't understand (wtf, I am not giving this kid a saw. This is a child who was sent home from Y3 and Y4 three times for trapping their hand in the toilet door and requiring a check of just how mangled the tendons were. There will be NO SAW)
There are warnings attached about how they will be tested on return to school on all subjects and sanctioned if the correct efforts aren't made.
I have to work from home. I have to. It's not optional.
The child in question is dyscalculic and dyslexic.
I have sat on my self so as not to email something unbecoming because we all know the teachers have sweet FA to do with it, it's an academy so it's pressure from above.
These kids are 11 FFS and I am not a qualified teacher.
Thank you for allowing this drivel to permeate the site. It has helped.
Can I drink now?
