I have some sympathy for Gemma. Our SMT is similarly hamstrung by the executive HT’s policy of No Exclusions At All For Anything. They have to think of ways of smoothing things out so that lessons can run even with the presence of Milliemutantspawnofsatan in them.

Crawling up MMSOS’s ass seems to be the strategy of choice.

This sounds a little like our place at the moment…we’re going downhill fast, really fast. About 2 dozen Y11s think that they’re untouchable as well as a number of Y10s. Head’s issue – there’s too much makeup and jewellery being worn. Forget the fact that kids are defying HoDs, HoYs all over the place and trashing the school. There’s currently about 40 kids in KS4 on report of some degree!

What Others Say About Old Andrew

"Old Andrew is a British secondary school teacher with very strong views and opinions which are always carefully expressed and strongly argued. A very good read (I'm always disappointed when he doesn't post daily, which must be a good sign.)"
- Sarah Ebner, Times online, in The 7 Best Teacher Blogs
"Old Andrew is a tired and frustrated state school teacher - also worth visiting if you need cheering up."
- The Coppersblog Team, The Policeman's Blog, in Spring Cleaning
"Honest, frank, strongly opinionated, Scenes from the Battleground is admirably well researched, topical and rightly inspiring a large following. Ok, so it's already well-known but before you cast me down below, it was one of the best I came across and I couldn't help sharing it with you! Complete with an interactive discussion forum this blog is an invaluable resource for teachers, and I recommend it to you as a great read ... To conclude, this is an eye-opener. A real insight into what goes on within the school gates. More of us need to be aware of what is actually happening in our country's schools these days!"
- Hannah, Blog Listings, in Hannah's Choice for 'Teaching'
"He has recently driven me mad..."
- Snuffy, From Miss With Love, in Old Andrew
