Yeah but she wasn't saying it was perfect.
She was indicating there were faults with it.
I think she was Justtrying to counteract the

I mean I do feel in two minds about this,
that I feel that like it’s very sort of
easy
come, easy go at this school.
We were assigned
to different teachers and I was given a group
of four kids.
I was just given a group and I
didn’t know what the hell I was supposed to be
doing and I felt it was unfair on the kids because,
for example, they were working with work cards
and I felt that I was just sitting there like
a lump and then I thought well
I’11 ask them
what they're doing and one pupil was really
indignant.
I said that before, because I was
intruding and then I had another class, a fourth
year English class , where ɪ was just lumped with
this teacher I mean, and I wasn’t given any idea
of what I was supposed to be doing.
