For the last 3, and the next 1 week, we have had at least 1, usually 2
Year 10 students in school (Primary) on Work experience for a week. These
students have come from 3 different schools. Nobody from the comps have
come to see the students, asked about them by phone or given any
indication that the comp is interested in them at all. I've completed the
end of week assessment books and given them back to the students
concerned. It seems to me the students are just being placed with us at a
difficult time of the year to get them to attend school, and sadly some of
them (most in fact) don't really want to be with us at all.
I'm tempted to raise the supervision / motivation issue with the comps
involved, but I'm sure it would not go down very well. Is my experience a
typical one, or are we unlucky ?
We have two local secondaries that send us children.
Since we made the rule to no longer have former students of ours it has
worked much better. There were some real horrors in past that just used it
as a doss.
Daughter No 2's school made it a rule that you had to find work that wasn't
local (ie same village) to where you lived or where your parents or
relatives worked, or at your former school. It really was treated as a
proper job.
The two we have had this year (both boys) have been really good.
One was in Year 6 mostly, helping with their production. This involved lots
of rehearsals, lots of scenery making (working with the site manager too)
setting up the hall and the lighting.
They helped with sports practice too.
They have been worth their weight in gold.
And we *always* have a visit from their secondary teacher.
One year, we put the student (male) with the site manager for the whole
time, he learned loads and ended up with a Saturday job from it!
