Today I walked into class thinking it was thursday. I happily went down to my class and found out they were having Maths instead. And there I discovered that my class had been changing places when I was not around for some time. I was quite angry but didnt show it then. I felt like this because I had asked them to submit seating plans they wanted and they had voted for the arrangement they wanted for next term. So I was hurt that they had been doing this for some time without my knowledge. I went to class and was so choked with emotion that I did not want to speak to them. So I told them to do what they liked and then I did my work for a while. They were really quiet and took out their books and were flipping their pages not knowing what to do.
Then I wrote the word defiance on the board and asked them what it meant. And I told my class how disappointed I was with them and that I felt that they had betrayed my trust in them. How by doing that they had shown disrespect. At the end of the day I had English again and we had a normal class. The class gave me apology letters and I think they really meant. But really now they have to show that they can be trusted.
On a lighter note, I finished Paper 2 of the Geog paper yesterday. Still have 2 more exam papers multiplied by 52 students to mark by Monday.
