I’m going to do something very unusual for me. A first probably here.

It’s time to praise school……

Yes I give it a hard time most days – probably very justifiably. But here goes with some praise.

It’s been very sunny and warm over the last few days. Doesn’t happen much in Yorkshire. Anyway one of the really great teachers (sadly one who happens to be leaving soon…) decided the kids in her class needed some fresh air rather than stuffy text books – so she sent them outside to enjoy the sun. Only bringing them in for a few minutes at the end to quickly run through a couple of learning points. Son said it made the rest of the school day so much less tiring and the behaviour in the class was improved. Big thumbs up from me on that one,

The school has a compulsory extra hour of school every week. This is to allow work on additional non-curriculum teaching. For the last few months our son was in the Book Reading Club. A tremendous idea for a dyslexic. But now for the rest of the school year the subject has changed. Now it is Archeology. How cool is that. I really wanted it to be taught by someone like Indiana Jones with a sexy hat and whip

“Sorry Dad nothing like him. Looks like a teacher who doesn’t get out much.”

  8. lol – those items might be added to the Sherpa uniform (brown cardi, wooly socks, sexy hat and whip)
    Great decision from the teacher. Would love to hear more about the archaeology teacher in the future.

  9. So good to actually hear a good news story re: his school/day. 🙂

    A sexy hat and a whip would be so much better than a hat and a sexy whip!… just sayin’ 😉

    A guy who looks like he doesn’t get out that much sounds more fitting of a Council budget thingy. 😦
