Back to School
28 April , 2009
Pleased to say I have survived my first day at school.
It might have had something to do with there being no kids there.
They return tomorrow
Which should be interesting aas I have it on good authority that one of my potential students is a nasty piece of work (chair throwing was mentioned).
Hmmm. I’m trying not to think about that too much.
I have no timetable at the moment but that will be rectified tomorrow. I will spend the next couple of days meeting teachers and discussing how I can help their students.
I did get my duty roster today as, like the other staff, I have 3 duties a week to perfom at recess and lunchtimes.
The Gods have smiled on me.
Over the week I have a 20 minutes recess with pre-primaries, half a lunch in the library and half a lunch in the detention room.
No trudging across the oval in the cold after errant, footy wielding boys.
Hurrah.
Lets hope I’m as lucky next term when the duty rosta changes again.
In the meantime I’m hoping for smiling, happy students and all chairs remaining on the floor.
WAY back when I was in the third grade ( I would have been about eight or nine ) me and my friend unplugged the hot lunch carts.
We did that on the first day of school.
It sort of slid down hill from there.
So, Cle. I assume you are working at a school that your own children do not attend?
If so, that would be a bit karmic if you had to give detention to your own kids.
My daughter put me on a time out once. It was the best 15 minutes I’ve had in a long time!
I am sure that you will be their favorite teacher. Do something really bizarre if that kid throws a chair…really freak him out! I had a kid hit me once. I fell down and didn’t get up for a minute or so. Freaked him so much out he never hit anyone again!
