Learning to Teach with a Hangover

As part of its action plan, the Government is also planning to focus on parents, particularly those who turn a blind eye to their children's drinking. They could be forced to attend parenting classes, and in 77 areas of the country 'gurus' will support mothers and fathers who have alcohol problems themselves.

In addition, there will be a curb of underage sales of alcohol through tougher enforcement action against shopkeepers. The action plan comes after official figures showed that 27 per cent of year- olds admitted having at least five drinks in a single session during the past 30 days, compared with 22 per cent in As many as 29 per cent of teenage girls are binge-drinkers.

Martin Ward, deputy general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said teachers are already able to spot problem drinkers.

Nick Seaton of the Campaign for Real Education said: Increasing numbers of stressed students are taking 'smart pills' to boost exam performance. Doctors have said that parents may be tempted to condone or even encourage the risky practice to give their youngsters a competitive edge. However, they warn that very little is known about the side effects of these so-called 'cognitive enhancers' when taken by otherwise healthy people. It may sound like science fiction but the head of Britain's top private schools organisation believes technology seen in Hollywood thriller The Matrix could form the future of learning.

In less than three decades pupils will download information directly into their brains through 'Matrix-style' methods, according to Chris Parry, the new chief executive of the Independent Schools Council. Mr Parry, a former Rear Admiral, spent three years determining the future strategic context for the military in a senior role at the Ministry of Defence. He is now preparing the ISC's 1, private schools, which collectively teach half a million children, for a high-tech future.

It offers more in the way of advice, written in a way that avoids being patronizing, instead coming from the perspective that these little problems and challenging moments happen to everyone and, in the long run, are not worth getting too stressed about. The author offers practical tips interspersed with an amusing narrative, and brims with relevant examples.

A brief look at the TT course, explaining how there are numerous challenges to be faced during the year and awkward moments. However, all of these have been faced by other people and they also act as good preparation for a full time teaching career.

Students, proper students at least, like to drink. On most courses this is not an issue. On my history degree, the lack of morning lectures meant that morning hangovers could be slept through, while journalists pride themselves on being able to drink and so hard drinking has to be learnt as part of training.

Teaching is a different matter - having to control a class of 30 children is probably the most unappealing task imaginable when you can barely stand up Tips would include simply not drinking, drinking lots of water, having painkillers handy, perhaps limiting drinking to the weekend, turning tea total and simply getting your head down, getting through the day and vowing to never drink again This becomes a real issue as the course progresses. The trainee is having to plan a full curriculum, ensure their folders are up to scratch and also churn our a series of seemingly pointless essays.

Inevitably, what with drinking, socialising and television also to be fitted in, this leaves the trainee horrendously tired and has a knock-on effect on teaching Again, this chapter would include a range of tips and also my own personal experience of turning up after approximately one hour's sleep. I actually fell asleep, though fortunately only on a school trip to the opera it was all I could do to not actually fall asleep at the opera as well.

I think I got away with it though. A big issue for the trainee for two reasons.

Firstly, you naturally feel a bit of an imposter in the classroom and any shyness can make it very hard to engage with parents. You tend to blend into the background whenever they approach. The other problem, as already mentioned, is that many parents possibly quite reasonably don't want their child to be taught by a trainee.

Advice would include not taking it personally, the parent only wants what's best for their child after all, and also referring any nastiness to the Head Teacher. The school gets paid for having you there and so it is the Head's job to sort it out, not yours. My story about the opera might get another outing in this chapter.

Another experience to mention would be helping out at swimming and never feeling quite sure where I should be, or what I should be doing. I ended up being told to hold a long pole and watch three of the weaker swimmers in case they got into trouble unlikely in 30 centimetres of water. On the course, school trips get only a passing mention and so it's often hard to know how to approach them or what your role should be.
