This is my 299th post, how exciting! I'm meant to be marking Y12 essays now, but I'd rather be on here, rambling. We have had people round for dinner, and I have had the busiest day, with lots of drama and ups and downs.
Good stuff:
Finally, a joke from the Marmite bottle: "Doctor doctor, I can't stop eating Marmite on toast". "I know, and I think it's spreading". Hahaha.
Good stuff:
- persuading "R" in my tutor group to attend a long overdue detention
- getting "H" to realise it is wrong to shout "waste man" into someone else's class
- counselling 5 members of staff
- having my medic friends in to speak to Y12
- hitting the gym hard
- sorting out the LRC book list
- teaching 3 good lessons, including a great one with Y10
- finishing marking all my maths books for the week
- having one of my colleagues in tears in my classroom about a child abuse case, and then hearing about two more, and then realising how f*cked up so many of our kids' lives are, and feeling entirely drained by not being good enough for them
- hearing another colleague has handed in his resignation after just 3 weeks on the job because the kids are just too hardcore, and he misses home
- my Y8s kicking off - top set and everything, but going over a test that they all messed up is never fun
- meeeeeetings - on and off and on and off, can't they make up their minds?
- knowing I have SUCH a busy day tomorrow
- missing a TLG, when I like sharing my wisdom with the young 'uns
Finally, a joke from the Marmite bottle: "Doctor doctor, I can't stop eating Marmite on toast". "I know, and I think it's spreading". Hahaha.
