“In working with young people, do
not try to call them back to where they
were, and do not call them to
where you are, beautiful as that place may seem to you. You must
have the courage to go with them to a place neither you nor they have been.”

Too many demands - from parents, organisations, sport etc.

do?”*1. It is additional – on top of homework.
2. The deadline is student set.
3. It is not assessed – even though teachers will draw on it and refer to it in future lessons.)
*How is this any different to homework?
*In the same way that the revision they did at GCSE is different to homework they did during GCSE!!

1. They did not make use of their planners correctly throughout the year.
3. They had an attendance below 85%.
2. They used their study sessions to do work set by the teacher (in the hope this meant they did not have to do
anything at home!)
