Happy Birthday to me!
by studentteacher83 @ Thursday, 30. Nov, 2006 - 19:11:57

I turned the ripe old age of 23 today. I'm still less than half the age of most of the other members of the maths department, who have more experience of teaching than I have of breathing. I made the faux pas of not bringing in biscuits to the maths office; I really need to learn the unwritten rules of the department. I will correct this tomorrow, including differentiating the snacking-needs of the teachers by providing chocolate and non-chocolate varieties to cater for a range of calorie attainers.

I got some good presents but no one bought me the things I put at the top of my birthday list: more time, a sure-fire way of passing my NQT year and nicer pupils. Oh well, there's always Christmas.

Thanks, at least starting young I can be a half decent teacher by the time I'm 30.

I think I have that effect on my colleagues too.

Half decent by the time you're 30...

*hmm*

I guess I have 2 months to get myself to being half decent then...

hate to say but if you are a teacher i dont think your life expectancy goes anywhere near the 90's - too much stress
