Humanities was a brand new subject, billed as a discussion group, but our group refused to speak! Mr Penny eventually got frustrated with us and we ended up week after week sitting there for the entire lesson doing nothing…..! At one point he even tried bringing in another humanities group to encourage us to talk, but that didn’t work either, as we simply let THEM do all the talking.
I think that the notion that you could successfully bring hormonally challenged teenage boys and girls together in one room, and expect them to be willing and able to participate in interesting and in-depth discussions, was flawed from day one!
