Hi to anyone out there, I have never used a Blog before, but I'd like to do this to put my own thoughts down and to tell people what it's really like to be a teacher in a large secondary school which is hugely underfunded.



I have had quite a nice morning so far, I have taught year 7 who were keen to listen and participate in the lesson....although there are signs that some of the pupils could become disruptive in the future.



I have taught Year 9 who were 'entertaining', but it worried me the misconceptions that some of them had considering that they weren't a bottom set...... one of them thought that the food and water went into separate compartments in your body so that the solid came out of your anus and the water came out in the urine!!



Year 11 were mostly good, however some of the boys just kept on talking about rubbish, they even ran a bet to see if one of the boys was going to have sex with his girlfriend this weekend..... and these are not nasty children.



I was furious yesterday because some kids left a lot of mess outside of my classroom after dinner including smearing ketchup up my door. I ranted at my form who denied all knowledge of any of this happening.......... Funny how none of them are there at the moment!!!
