So school these days is easy?

Think again.

People and politicians complain that school is getting easier. Damian Whitworth, a 35-year-old journalist, decided to see for himself. He spent a week as a pupil at a British secondary school, Brentwood Country High School. It's a large state school and has about 1,800 pupils, girls and boys, aged between 11 and 18.

French

My first lesson is French. I am in a class of 13 year olds. Outside the classroom some girls start interrogating me. 1) “Are you really in our class? How old are you?”

“how old do you think I am?” I reply.

“Well... you're not 13!”

First we have a listening test which I find difficult. I get 14 out of 20. Not bad.

Maths

As we wait outside the maths classroom a teacher tell me to do up the top button of my shirt. The maths teacher uses interactive whiteboard which has graphics and video, but the pupils don't look very interested in the lesson. A mobile rings and the owner hurries to switch it off. 2) Phones that ring in class are confiscated until the end of the week.

Lunch

In the canteen we can choose between traditional and fast food. Burger and chips is the most popular meal. 3) One boy says he has chips every day.

History

Mr Fishleigh is the history teacher. He doesn't have any problems controlling the noise level (other teachers do). 4) He's friendly with the pupils but not too friendly.

He talks to them as if they were adults and gets attention in return.

Religious education

The teacher introduces us to meditation. We sit cross-legged on our desks and try to fill our minds with blackness and think positively about people who thought negatively about us. For 15 minutes the children sit, eyes closed, in total silence. 5) It's a magical moment and the most effective class I have seen.

The bell goes. End of school for the day.

So...has school got easier?

It's difficult to say... All I can say is that being back to school for a week was very tiring. Being a pupil today is very, very hard work.
