Paul Dix answers Behaviour Questions: Question 5
Q: As a 61 year old who started a PGCE when 57, my viewpoint on negative behaviour is that it is sometimes a truthful reaction to teachers who are trying to impose a pseudo world on the young(er), not least as a result of a lack of experience outside education. Classically we had a dreadful thing called COPE or Certificate of Personal Effectiveness, which we tried to impose on year 12 and 13. They in my view quite rightly - and in our case politely - rejected it over the year. My main subject is maths, and again I wonder at our attempted imposition of getting across the D/C boundary which is subsequently of use neither to further education nor employment, but critical in league tables for the status of the school. I wonder sometimes whether the pupils can see through it and we can't. There are so many cases, and the pupils seem to have often prematurely so much experience that what masquerades as bad behaviour is perhaps an inarticulate insistence on the truth.
