YouTuber, Braydon Bent quizzes Channel 4’s Educating Yorkshire star teacher Mr Burton about starting secondary school….
Q.1. I’ve heard you set homework every single night—what if the footy’s on the tele?
Even if you get homework every night, it will be a manageable amount. Make sure your organised and you can get it done so that you can enjoy your evening.
Q.2. One of the biggest worries at the minute is bullying….what’s your thought on that?
If you feel like you’re being bullied, make sure you talk to someone you trust. Now, with mobile phone and social media, bullying can happen at any time. That’s why it’s important that you tell someone so they can do something about it.
Q.3. People are worried about losing friends and not making new ones. What’s your opinion on that?
You’re not going to have exactly the same mates at the end of secondary school as you do at the end of primary school. Naturally your friendship groups will change because you get to meet lots of brilliant new people who you’ve never had the chance to meet before.
