In our session this morning we were practising using whiteboards. For this we talked for ten minutes on a topic of our choice aimed at a year and set of our choice.

This process of doing this in itself was actually quite dull, but our tutor allowed for one piece of "minor mibehaviour" during each person's presentation. For a group of people training to be maths teachers it's amazing how much difficulty we had in counting to one.

There was the easy misbehavours such as phones going off, chewing gum and the inevitable "he started it!" It was the most fun we've had in ages, though it does make you worry about what to do if pupils start causing you grief during lessons. Put another way, I'm glad that I don't have to teach my coursemates, because they could be a really pest.
