She also wants to scrap classroom assistants helping children who cannot speak English
My sons girlfriend is a primary school teacher…. she has a class of 27 children 11 of whom are “Special Needs” kids ..
Special needs is a child who has special education needs and has significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of children the same age… or a child who has a disability that hinders them from making full use of educational facilities.
As you can imagine the needs are many and varied but mainly language skills or lack of them….additionally some of the kids are in the “At Risk” category…. all this for a young teacher hardly more than a girl herself…. with one part time teaching assistant!
Now I’m all for integration into mainstream education …..but as she says her job is impossible… the area the school is in has very little parental involvement with a high percentage of English as a second language households….. I would like to see the baroness explain to my sons girlfriend how its possible for her to lose her teaching assistant? I fear for all the kids in this class… its a nightmare really. Where will it end!!!!
Just thought I would remind you
Only 41 Days to Christmas!
just so it doesn’t pass you by without you noticing :D

depends where in rural Yorks, Mrs T.
There are parts of North Yorks where neighbourly soildarity is pretty nasty, a Brit version of Orange County, California.
Other parts – yes.
