So here I sit in this empty classroom reflecting on the emptiness of the common grade eighter's head. This was a rough week... I say again man was not intended to educate 43 kids in a classroom. 43 personalities, 43 different ways of thinking, 43 different homes, 43 ugly faces....aaaarrrggghh! I'm just so annoyed today, I spoke to a parent who asked me if it was her responsibility or mine to discipline the child... the cheek! Anyway I am currently trying to teach them 12th night... all I can say on this topic is trying. They understand that the book is orange... the pages are white and the writing is in black... they understand the page numbers... these are the things i can vouch for..... the rest... nah! I had a visit from the department on Monday and they were quite peeved that my files were not up to scratch, let me say this, if you do a file in 2 hours on a Sunday evening, what do you expect... especially if this file is supposed to reflect 3 terms of work....
The exams are starting next week and some clever jack put down English test 3 times on the time table... what the goal is with this little exercise-I don't know! Anyway onto more positive things... I now live only 4kms away from school yipee!(NOT) nice little old age-home-type area.
I spoke to someone today who got so angry that they want another job... I asked her, how could you want another job when you only work 8 months out of 12.... needless to say the daggers she shot could have seriously injured me.
Let me move on to my next class and attempt once again-THE IMPOSSIBLE!

My OPINION - The toughest job in the world is teaching other peoples children. You are right 43 personalities could drive anybody CRAZY and right into a mental institution. The sad part is that only ONE of those are willing the grasp the 12th Night!......Good Luck whilst i stick to looking after other people's empires and ivory towers!
Its truly a calling& not a job!
