TDA

I passed one of those TDA adverts on a billboard today.....the science one with all the kids gasping in amazement at some experiment. Trouble is its been staged, its not real.....why? The teacher would have already put the learning objectives on the board at the start of the lesson......so any chance of a surprise has gone and so has the chance for real jaw dropping learning for the children. As they say, progress!

Thanks for mentioning me on your blog. I've just had a quick look through your posts and they confirm my suspicions that Teacher Training is still the comedy fiasco it was when I did mine in 1988. The only difference being that you now pay good money for it. Your theory that those who were utterly useless in the classroom have ended up teaching you is unfortunately correct.

The best advice I can give you is not to read any more of my blog- it will only turn you into an old cynic before your time!

Best Wishes
