Discussion 1

Examine the picture of the school principal, Ms Trunchbull. Compare what you are being taught about being a caring, responsible, critically reflective and accountable teacher who should support learning in diverse educational contexts to the aggressive displays by Ms Trunchbull. 

Ms Trunchbull is far from being a caring, critically reflective and accountable teacher who should support and nurture learning in diverse educational contexts. When we reflect from her background we discover that she abused Ms Honey from her childhood until adulthood. This symbolises that Ms Trunchbull is an aggressive person who hates little girls the most. As Ms Trunchbull was a headmistress she was supposed to lead by example. If you work with children you have to love, care and support them in school and also in the community as learning does not end in school it continues at home. In addition, it shows that Ms Trunchbull had no mutual relationship with the wormwoods family as in the novel there is no event where she visited the family and see how they are living as Matilda was her learner in her school. Ms Trunchbull does not have respect for learners and her staff as she treats them rough and shows no respect at all. She punishes the children as in her school

there was a place where those children who play foul where locked up in as like in jail. She abuses the children emotionally and physically by accusing them for things they have not done and pulls them with their hair.
