techrecoveryOur school is running a pilot scheme for Key Stage 3 exams. Today is the first batch of those exams, so we've got all of year 9 (aged 13/14) in IT rooms running this new software we've got for it. Each of the four of us has been allocated a classroom to make sure there're no technical problems etc. All well and good, we expected teething problems, and were prepeared for that. What we (or at least me) were unprepared for was the abuse we'd be getting from the little angels. I''ve been called fat, told I'm not qualified to do my job, and been told to "fuck off", "piss off" and been called a "fucking idiot". The last three were all by the same student. An incident report will be raised. I am not prepared to put up with that.

i become a parent i'm definitely going to try to raise my kids as my parents raised us... free thinkers with knowledge of right vs wrong.
Ditto. If only more people felt that way :\
I dunno, maybe things will improve as people realise what they're doing. I hate to think of them getting any worse.
