Year nine girls are a pain. I could just stop there and I don't think anyone would argue too much but I'll emphasise my point anyway by looking a few specific cases.

Girl 1: When the mood takes her she can be lovely, but when she's in a bad mood she's horrid, much like many schoolgirls I suppose:
'I'm bored! Sir! Sir! Sir! I'm bored! Sir! ' Yes I know, but can't you manage to be bored a little more quietly?

'I can't see the board sir!' How about putting you specs back on? 'But they're in my bag!'

Girl 2: Generally a stroppy little madam. After a lesson where she was: being rude towards me, singing and talking when she should have been listening I got her to write down the things she's done wrong: 'All I did was stick up for myself, sing and disrupt the lesson.' Is that all? I'd hate to teach her on a bad day.

Not that the boys are any better, when I asked one to hand in his homework his response was: 'That's not fair! I was off when it was supposed to be handed in... [incoherent whine] It's not fair!' Pathetic.
