Falconer School

I have autism and I’m stupid byee

Working in the school I have seen the teachers are atrocious and substandard. 99% of them are lazy and not specialised SEN teachers let alone decent teachers. I think you could find people off the street to do a better job than them.

They’re scammers who know they’re getting paid to do little to nothing. I’ve been working alongside the teachers in the class and they hand out a worksheet such as a cutting out exercise or doing a crossword in maths. They then just sit there and barely lift a finger whilst the kids act rowdy and wild.

Firstly why give such boring exercises when you know they’re SEN kids, it’s clear lessons have not been well thought out and the teachers are not skilled in teaching kids with additional needs. Since the teachers can’t be bothered to take their jobs seriously, how do you expect the students to take themselves seriously?

The teachers and the headmistress is weird as well. They seem to laugh everything off. We know they’re SEN kids but they also do have to be taught some discipline and order. These kids walk out as when they feel like it and there is no repercussions for their behaviour. So how would they function in a normal society as adults? The kids punch the wall, the doors and run rampant. There needs to be a room with a punch bag, or a room with a type of lighting or some strategy put in place to calm them down.

They’re trying to teach kids the same way they would normal kids with the exception that all the rules of discipline have been removed- how does that make sense at all? That screams lazy and poor structure of a school to help teach SEN children.

After speaking with a couple of the autistic children they said they didn’t like how they were taught in such a boring way, that they did want to learn but the teachers give them patronising work like cutting out and sticking together. Yes they are autistic but they just have other skills they want to learn not being talked to like they are 2 years old. This makes them full of resentment and why teachers can’t get them to listen. It’s their bad teaching skills first and foremost.

I finished school at Falconer’s in 1989, at the time there was no uniform, no crazy restrictions and the teachers not having to be carful about being with a pupil on their own. I was there for just over 3 years and I can honestly wait I loved every day, I always also a border, a few of the teachers were amazing and totally changed me to the person I am today, I have so much to thank for that school, yes I visited it 20 years later and it had changed a lot, some for the good, but in my opinion it’s a good school that has a lot of time for the pupils that attend.

the school was really good when the second head teacher was there but as soon as he left the school started to go down hill as the woman head teacher come along everything went to excellent to really bad. such as bad Communication and lack of support with the students all the students at falconer school.
