Friday has now become my dreaded day of the week as I have lessons non - stop the whole day and then during breaks have to deal with admin problems. Its especially tiring when you have two geog classes with double periods. Today I was doing a lesson on river velocity and volume and was real tired as numerous interruptions as I was trying to explain - from 3A had some tough questions but was ok with it as that shows they are thinking while in 3B they just wanted to waste time. One boy, David who has a problem with filing his notes claimed he couldnt find my notes. He chucks all his worksheets under his table and its a big mess. So I asked his to check his bag - his bag had more chucked worksheets. Still he claimed he couldn't find his notes. So I took his bag and emptied it on the floor and asked him to find. Then he found it. Haiya I wanted to throttle him. Wasted precious teaching time.
Got chocolates from students for Valentine's Day - so sweet - even those I didnt teach.
