In the back of your books

by studentteacher83 @ Monday, 03. Apr, 2006 - 18:31:40

It's amazing what you find out from reading the back of the pupils' books. You also get to read petty little, poorly punctuated, written squabbles between pupils. You find out their silly nicknames for each other which can be tremendous fun to drop in during whole class discussions. You find out who fancies who, and if you're feeling particularly childish you can add 'IDST'.

You've got to make fun for yourself whilst marking somehow.

Wow, the world of secondary teaching gets less and less attractive!

To be fair, I do have a habit of picking out some of the less appealing aspects of secondary school teaching - for instance I don't blog much about my lovely year 7 set 1s who are attentive and get on with their work without fuss. It just wouldn't be that interesting!

That's what makes my blog rather hard to write - all of the kids in my class are like that!

Ah, the joys of private Swiss schools
