Detention time again

Here I am sat with the students in detention although almost all of them are fariyl infrequent visitors to the room. That appears to be the result of the number of exclusions recently and the impact that is having on the classroom. I have been told by quite a few teachers that things are better in the classroom. It really is having an impact in respect of better behaviour and fewer instances of refusal.

For the second day in a row I have not excluded anyone! I've been getting on with marking the mock exams which at least they've made an effort with, while trying out a 'new' joke.

A man goes into a fish and chip shop with a cod under his arm.
He asks the man behind the counter if they do fish cakes and is told of course we do - this is a fish and chip shop.
Good, because it's his birthday.
