    Mr Hennessy is legit the perfect teacher. He’s strict when he needs to be but really wants the best for his students. You know he could have a laugh with you as well as give a detention when needed.

      Yes, I had a teacher just like that. I had to go into his lesson to ask him for some rulers because we had run out. He did this comedy routine where he tried to look for the rulers in his shoe. He eventually went to the back and got a handful of rulers. He gave them to me and I told him, I only need one. His head dropped and the class burst out laughing. Apparently he was in a really bad mood before I came in so that made me quite happy

      The other was very strict and like everyone hated him. He threatened to pull someone’s earrings out and then boom! The sack.

      The headteacher was concerned that socially she was lagging behind, despite being very intelligent. She was in danger of becoming a socially-isolated adult. She wasn't trying to get her to conform to the norm, but instead was helping her to prepare for the real world. Getting her to edit the newspaper was a clever way to channel her ability and enthuisiasm in a way that involved her cooperating with others, rather than sticking in a bubble. Great teaching imo

      Some statistics on the school from 2018:
      - 44% of students received free school meals, well above the national average of 17%.
      - 68% of students come from the 20% of most deprived areas in the UK.
      - 1/3 students learnt English as a second language.
      - 41% of students have SEN (dyslexia etc.), well above the national average of 21.5%.

    • @johnniea4684
      @johnniea4684 9 месяцев назад +1

      That's what I thought tbh. I was like her in terms of not liking being at school, serious attendance problems in high school, despite getting good grades all the way up to around age 14. I put in almost a token effort during the last couple of months as i was in danger of flunking my exams. I ended up with 6 GCSEs at that grade, so did worse than her. I think maybe 1 or 2 kids in my year (about 130 pupils) got better grades than me. The school I attended was in a really poor area of Liverpool, so most children (and their parents) were not interested in education, which made it a "challenging" learning environment. The area (Knowsley) is currently in the bottom 1% for living standards in the UK.

    I blame Leahs parents for her issues. Especially knowing the brother and sister also had the same issues with attendance/dropping out and not putting in effort. It’s sad, because Mr. Hennessy is going above and beyond his duty as a teacher to help her.
