I left after the two weeks feeling pretty demoralized. One bright spot, on my last day a fifteen-year-old girl at the bottom of the ‘sink’ stream came up to me and said she was sorry I was going. I asked her why, as I knew I hadn’t exactly excelled in the education stakes.
‘ Well sir’, she said,’ you’ve taught our class for about six hours, and we’ve noticed you never hit anyone. What’s more, there haven’t been any fights in class. For once I didn’t feel frightened
This, it appears was some kind of record.
I thought that was a sad indictment of the ‘bottom end’ of the system then. Has it changed much?
