The name is absent

Tutor ɪ think it will fit. М2 is going to give
us a report on West Indian language - the
Viv Edwards book (i976) .....

The tutor’s view may be over optimistic but he knows from past exper-

ience that the issues will be live in his school, and school group

entation in course work is often a real contribution to the students’

professional thinking. But other areas of the course are experienced
as fragmentary and unrelated by many students. In the next extract
some explanation of this is given when a student comments on a film
and a lecture her group has just attended on the main education

course.

School A 6.10.81 P5∕6 pii

What was funny was they (school in the film)

so much more unsophisticated than

X (Head of School B) weren’t they - yet the
end result was they were trying to do some
of the same things ..... like when he said

we don’t know what the cause of these trouble-

sort of come out that you can get too bound
up in a kind of very sophisticated London

way of talking about inner city kids - very
aware of (class?) and home background and

proble;

a very good way of dealing with it."

It is not the film that is too introductory or the lecture too
advanced. The student, sees her view as affected by experience in
other parts of the course, particularly a general sense of issues
29

and directions in London schools. What underlies students evalu-
whether or not what is presented, will be useful
