Teaching with Bayley. The play's the thing. Underachieving boys. 6
Description
In this final programme of three at Bexleyheath School in Kent about underachieving boys, John Bayley explores how using drama in English lessons can help. He observes graduate trainee Abigail Mack teach year 10 boys on the D/E borderline. Usually the boys are a real handful, but getting them to read out parts of a Willy Russell drama, 'Our Day Out', about a boisterous school trip, is a real hit. John Bayley then reports back some surprising findings to Bexleyheath's English Department. He shows them video evidence that the boys are completely unaware of their underachievement relative to the girls and he thinks they should be told. He concludes by suggesting that boys' performance could be raised if their self esteem can be boosted by satisfying their need for attention and making lessons more of a performance.
