Well I enjoyed Tuesday immensely.
I didn’t
think I was going to initally - it's immense
- it's 65% West Indian and the white kids there
are very tough
it seemed to me.
great and the staff are superb
But it was
.. the way
the chap I was with introduced me to the lesson,
the way I was accepted, and the way it was so
relaxing to do it, and I wasn’t in the least
bit
on
student teacher
Il
I wasn’t something
show or something observing.
I was actually
doing it, involving myself in it and was really
put at my ease by the teachers there, which I
thought was superb.

After Tuesday teaching when we talked about
the programme, the guy was talking to us and he
was sitting there very smugly as if to say, you
know, you've got all these naive ideas, I mean
I thought that very acutely.
I felt as if I
was being acused of having naive ideas and that
we represented the theory side of it and he was
representing reality and anything we said he
seemed to laugh smugly to himself about.

I thought he was incredibly defensive but
there is another teacher at that school who said
today "0ħ
I used to go to the Institute and
just forget it.

The opposite has happened to me actually
where I went into a class and the bloke said
to
Look, I don't know anything about this,
you're at the Institute, you know more about ∙
it than I do", which is ridiculous, you know,
I didn't know what the hell to say.
