Somewhere in the South of London we (Ana Nichoola) were asked to do a skills and stunts course using some ramps. It sounded like fun, so of course we said yes. It turned out to be one of the least fun things I have ever done!
Arranging the tranpost of these massive ramps was a 2-day palaver, resulting in paying two dodgy geezers with a van, who insisted on 2 hours pay despite making me half an hour late. Once the ramps had arrived and were set up, me and 2 other Ana Nichoola instructors started the session just as the heavens opened. The kids were told not to use the ramps. They disobeyed. The youth worker who was supposed to be controlling the behaviour of the kids whilst we taught thought this was fine. One kid slipped off the ramp and badly grazed his knee and elbow. I thought that would prove my point- that the ramps were too slippy, but was told to f*** off!
Eventually the bahviour got so bad that we had to turn the ramps upside down and ban the kids. We were called all the names under the sun, Ed was even called a f***ing p***y by a cute looking 7 year old girl!
There must have been around £500 spent on that event, specifically asked for by the kids. They showed absolutely no gratitude for it. I work in a different primary school every week in and around London, NEVER have I had to deal with such rude, spoilt brats! Its unbelievable that they are allowed to continue with that behaviour and still have events put on for them every single day in half term.
...However, if you are looking for a skills course in your area, and have/allow a discipline structure then please get in touch :-)
