The other day I was wondering what the best thing about teaching is. Initially I came up with: the good holidays.
I couldn't think of anything that even came close to rivalling it, but then I got a few Christmas Cards from some of my pupils. Well, that just clinches it doesn't it? Sure, sure it's really quite lovely and all that, but that's not what I mean. What I mean is that I can put them up and anyone who comes round will think I'm really popular and have loads of friends. Just so long as they don't look inside, as they might be worried about the fact that my friends address me in an extraordinarily formal mnanner, write in crayon and spell it "Crissmass".
Unfortunately I think its only cards from Year 7 that I would want to put up as the ones from year 8 might not be suitable. I can't say I particularly want to put cards saying "Die scumbag, you suck you great big loser!" on the mantelpiece.
