What do pupils spend 80% of their time doing in class? I'm sure you can guess. It's pretending to listen. Children are brilliant pretenders. In his 2007 book The Hidden Lives of Learners, Nuthall recounts the tactics played out in classrooms across the world. Pupils will act as if they are trying to read a book as a teacher approaches, only to idly look out of the window as the soon as the teacher moves on.
