There are some pupils who you aren't really sure if they're evil or just a bit dumb. A girl in my year eight class said today that some people were passing round a note for people to sign saying that they hoped I would die so they could go to my funeral and celebrate.

Thanks for telling me that. Thank you so very much. That's really made my day. On the plus side at least it will be well attended. And besides, I've often thought that some of my pupils were so loud they could wake the dead, so perhaps I could get the last laugh.
