‘Firm but fair’ stance for Lancashire schools (From Blackburn Citizen)

My daughter was a primary school teacher.. All lessons for reading , writing and maths are watered down... She worked 80 hours per week.. At least five hours per week each evening planning and making her own resources at her own cost! The class she took over had not even basic resources! she had to plan the lessons even though these must have been done by a previous teacher! Why is this? How can continuity be maintained when every teacher must constantly plan the same lessons as the previous teachers have? To teach a Geography lesson and then use this lesson as part of the teaching of English because they have written something is totally wrong!! An English lesson should be solely about learning about the English Language!! The children are constantly on the move throughout the day! They receive their instuctions while sat on the floor, then move to a communal desk, then back to the carpet for an Evaluation!! This does not promote a good learning environment and caused lots of disruption within the class! They are bombarded with Technology.. If the teacher is reading a story they are never allowed to use their listening skills as every word has to be followed on an overhead interactive white board!! There are major problems within the Primary Schools in the Uk .. Needless to say my daughter has left the profession as do many!
