well i am now three quarters of my first month at school. What can i say, after an 8 week break and flying from pillar to post i walked into my first class like i had never left. Once a teacher always a teacher eh!
I have all new classes, i even teach business English to an Adult once a week...
The kids as always are darlngs, apart from my one class of 4 boys and a girl. There is a facination with the word WHY?
I look at the student who is talking.... WHY? he says
I ask him to shut the door............ Why? he says
Stop talking and listen to me............ Why? he says
Get out of the class and go home to chat to your mother! Why......... yeah you get the picture.
So these kids are 12 years old.... rude as hell... i think every teacher has that one class with the majority of kids that don't want to be there and have the mentality of "your not my father therefore i won't respect you" Its simple... tell there parents! but they don't really care either.
So i have had my moan now.. but why is it that 5 out of maybe 70 students, the later 65 being angels, do i focus my blog on? beacuse they make me really mad. thats why!
Anyway apart from that all is good.
Over the past month we have settled in.. we have frinds round at the weekend and even attended a wedding. Yes we are a very busy couple.
Oh me with the dog! ha ha pre Todds Wedding.
The beautiful Todds wife to be.
