ARGH!!

I am about to tear my hair out! I can't figure teenagers out. I am starting to ask myself: Why? Why are you teaching teenagers??? They have their moments, and I guess it's those moments I need to remember, especially on afternoons like today.

Let me give you a rundown, scrap that, I could put it in less than a sentance, two words even. NOT LISTENING!!!!!!!!!! Yip, that about sums it up. That and the word: NOISE. I tried everything today, from book work, to interactive data projector, to group work. Nope, there are always that few in the room who manage to make it a control lesson rather than a learn lesson.

Oops, I'm ranting again. Let me tell you the nice moment. I had been on a first aid course for two days, came back and told them I'd missed them. Honestly, I had. I would much rather be interacting with them in the classroom than sitting in a boring course, no matter how much I moan. Anyways - one of the girls said, yeah, I've missed you too, you're kinda like an older sister who is always there. And I went - Awww, and nearly cried. See, that's the good things that I need to remember. Not the few who make me realise that I'm actually working, not just enjoying imparting my love of the subject to them.

Hey, guess what?

Have you guessed yet??

Yip, that's right - it's the weekend, and I'm outa here!!!
