Llanidloes National School 6
Getting into disorder in 1880
The behaviour of the children in school was inevitably a recurring topic in the School Log Books over the years.
The use of older children to act as 'pupil teachers' in 1879 does not seem to have been a great success, as noted in the entry below.

Log Book
"..My two female Pupil Teachers are of very little use - they are continually allowing their classes to get into disorder".
In the following month he wrote:
"School rather noisy, owing to my P.T's [pupil teachers] being small and young and therefore unable to keep their classes in good order".

An amusing reference to the pupil teachers appears in the
log book in the following year, as seen above. This was dated
20th March 1880:
"The pupil teachers have all attended to their lessons
every day this week, a rather pleasing fact to record because
we seldom have the chance of doing so".
