That’s good.
Well it depends on the teachers
we’re assigned to ..... he said 'Just sit at
the back of the class and don't take notes’,
and that’s very bad.
I mean, that’s how it can
be bad if the Institute does that.
Obviously
if you’ve got a teacher who's interested and
wants to help, that's fine.

It’s also down to the individual, I mean
as an observer.
I went into Maths classes . . .
and you go up and say 'What are you doing', it’s
the way you approach them as well because if
you say ’What are you doing?
,> ∙
then they don’t
but if you just look and say ..... and lead
on to something else.
I mean I can get into
class situations with kids with work cards and
they accept me quite well, you know, just that
I’m there to help them, not there to watch the

I wasn't sure.
I didn’t want to offend
the teacher, I didn’t want to offend the kids
and I didn't know what I should do and in the
primary schools most of the teachers are really
helpful, and said 'This is what we're doing',
you know, 'and why don't you participate.'

It's really just individual teachers because
in the same day at E I did a remedial group which
was terrific
talking to me about football.
In another class I was introduced very formally
as Mr X
’Ask him questions if you want*
and by the end of the lesson the kids were putting
their hands up and I was helping them and in
class the kids don't knew who I am yet
....and just at the end of last week ..... who
is he?
It depends entirely on your teacher,
you know.
I don't feel, I mean I'm learning
a lot just hanging around like a big lump, it’s
you that feels embarrassed ..... it doesn’t mean
I’m not learning something.

The first class I went into they didn't
bother to introduce me at all.
I mean they
probably thought I was the cleaner and I had
to go around saying this is who I am and then
the
econd^one, I went up to the teacher and
said ,
' Look
could you introduce us in some way
because it’s difficult’ and he said ’Yes, of
course . '
You know he just hadn’t thought of
It just hadn’t occurred to hi
much better then.
It
and it was
In fact, I took a group of
eight of them into a different classroom and
worked with them and it was really good.
I mean
because he had taken the trouble just to say,
you know,
’This is so and so, he's from the
Institute and he's going to help us today,'
and that was all that was necessary.
It's not
thing, you know.
