Thanks everyone! Sarah, I'm glad you like your picture!

To those of you who are teachers (music or not) or anyone really, what are the best things I could do to support my mum who's got an OFSTED next week that she only found out about last week. I'll do all the obvious things such as let her get on with work, not moan at her and make meals and cups of tea and let her know that I'll always be there for her no matter what but is there anything else I could do?


Doing that lot, you'll be the perfect daughter, and she'll be delighted with you. If she isn't already, which I suspect she probably is.



QUOTE(sarah-flute @ Jul 1 2006, 11:07 PM) *

Motion propised, seconded and carried, I think you have got it down pat and I think she will appreciate your efforts enormously!


And I'll third it (as others have already seconded it!)

Thanks. I dunno, I just want to be there for her - she even came to my concert tonight, even though I did say that if she'd rather work, I wouldn't be insulted. I don't think her school is going to do too well, to be honest, and I just want her to do well - most people I know that have had her say that she's a good teacher (and I didn't pressure them to say that!) but she might not always tick all the right boxes for OFSTED. Anyone else got similar experiences?

I'm afraid my brief stint as a classroom teacher was before OFSTED was around in its current form.

My mother-in-law was a teacher, though, before she retired. She thought OFSTEDs were a total pain in the elbow. But she just carried on doing her lessons, writing up the lesson plans for the inspectors and otherwise ignoring them as much as possible.


Good night Nicki. Good night Barry.

That sounds about right. I agree about the pain in the elbow bit!

What did you teach, Katyjay?

I wouldn't recommend teaching, personally, so don't worry about it (although you're excellent at explaining circle theorems over the net).

Hehe biggrin.gif

I'm sitting here, having done nothing all day, even though I have stuff like personal statement to start writing, do catch up work and homework, but I really can't be bothered, especially as I won't be in school tomorrow.

It's too hot to do anything involving your brain today..... which is inconvenient as I'm just off out to the afternoon service with 11 hymns plus some sung parts of the communion service... blink.gif

You've got ages to do that. And apparently it's not as important as schools try to make out.

But I NEED to do stuff. sad.gif

Good luck with your service!

Poor CPPF. Hope the pain passes soon.

What topic's that, Nicki, and what books are you after?

Salem Witch Trials, it is crucial that I get my question sorted by the end of term as my fab teacher is leaving.
I have a booklist, but I am going to try and get them through the inter loan library service.

It sounds really interesting though Nicki. Have you read the Crucible? I don't think it's factually accurate but it's still enjoyable.

I've got the Crucible which I have borrowed out of the library, but need to start reading it

Seeing a live performance would be good as well.
