The vociferous and destructive students from last term did not of course produce any work, well not individually. I received one set of assignments that I believe was concocted by them all. One was clearly meant as a joke but the remainder was not very, very bad. They were only in the classroom to disrupt. What were they disrupting? Other people's chances? Their lives are probably very different and there, between young children and anarchic boyfriends, education plays little part, coming way down in a list topped by cunning. Their views reside in a past of troubled schools where teachers were authority figures, redundant with middle-class values. We are the people who once, they believe, controlled their lives.
Although they lack respect for others, they are immensely arrogant about themselves.
