Study / Times Higher Education rankings 2012 Poland's top universities at end! [93]
Its not really there is a lot of money thrown at education here than in Poland, each science department has at least one technician who is responsible for preparing the equipment and so on they often perform tasks that are the responsibility of the teachers like ensuring risk assessment is done.
Lesson length comes down to school management, its good practice and usual for all science lessons to be at least one hour for 11-16 year olds so that experiments can be done. Post 16 have a lot longer in the labs.
The biggest problem with class room discipline is hesitation, not a second should be wasted the kids should know exactly what is expected of them the second they enter the classroom. It’s the teacher’s job to ensure this happens.
Sorry Pam but that is not the job in practice it happens but you must always remember that someone else is getting paid for that not the lsa (we call them class room assistants).
Most discipline problems in schools are a direct result of ineffective teaching and overall management of the school. The problem is that teachers manage schools something they are not trained to do and usually dont have the skills to do plus it’s almost impossible to sack a teacher. .There are too many ineffective teachers and its a credit to many pupils that they thrive despite the teaching standards.
Where I live we have kids divided by ability at age 11 in practice the so called better schools take anyone to fill seats. The proportion of pupils they take has risen as the population has shrunk, kids are not changing and grammar schools standards are not falling thus proving that mixed ability works. Division by ability is just a marketing exercise and means nothing.
Take a scale of 1 to 10, elevating child A from 1 to 6 is deemed less valuable than elevating child B from 8 to 9.. I would say the opposite, you have added more value to the educational attainment of child A. This is known as "value added education".
Sounds a lot.

You are trying to prevent disruption in the classroom, taking the pressure off teachers.
