I visited a 'nice' school today for a seminar about the first year of teaching. I entered the school gates as the pupils were all leaving and it was such a shock to the system compared to my first placement. I was almost saying things like:

"Hey you, why aren't you smoking?"

"That tie needs slacking."

"Run, don't walk."

"Don't watch where you're going, and do try harder to knock me off my feet."

"Less of the eloquent, well considered language."
