I keep having nightmares about teaching the year 8s I took last term. There include:

1. Turning up without a lesson plan and giving them some Chirstmas trees to colour in (I wonder where the inspiration for that dream came from?)

2. Pupils repeatedly saying they "don't get it". I think that one may be based on reality

3. Being unable to write the owrds coordinates on the board. The pen worked fine but every time I tried to write it I kept writing something else, possibly to do with ducks, I'm not entirely sure.

I blame this on the fact that the class included a number of evil students and my eating of cheese and biscuits after dinner.
