It applies because what I am saying is that even the worst children at school can give respect to people outside of school even when the concept is the exact same thing, therefore teachers must be going wrong somewhere in their methods if they are failing to control children.
I was disruptive to the point of being treated just like the 'remedials' in school and I am doing pretty well for myself, so I don't really see why you can't be both.
At Uni they actually say that there are a lot of students like me who act up in school but end up doing really well, and it's generally down to not being mentally stimulated enough in the lessons or some sort of negativity coming from the teachers.
Everyone deserves a chance to be listened to and have their questions answered, and most important be informed of the opportunities they might have. Why should they aim for something they know absolutely nothing about?
And how can anybody talk about remedial spelling when we all constantly combine grammatical symbols to create 'smileys' on forums
By the way, norden, moorhead, rhyddings and another local high school that doesn't quite come to mind right now are on this next course, so I'm guessing your children simply weren't picked for this opportunity if they are at any of these schools, and this summer school IS for the brighter children from the impression i've got of the itinerary so far.
