More Boring Lessons, please!
I am going to have to revise my plans for lesson delivery, following the latest from the Association of Teachers and Lecturers annual conference. (reported here By the Indy) Apparently, kids need more boring lessons (in both senses of the phrase) : -
Teachers say children need more boring lessons to help them deal with the world beyond the classroom door.
Pupils needed to get used to the idea that life wasn't a constant "Disney ride",
"I don't have the energy to do all-singing all-dancing lessons every day, five-days-a-week, each term," supply maths teacher Zoe Fail explained, to loud cheers. "Children are not bored enough. They are over stimulated. Being bored encourages thinking skills and imaginative play."
Barry Williams, a lecturer at Hertford Regional College in Cambridgeshire, said that those who believed his teaching style was dull "just don't understand the nuances and subtleties of my lessons".
