If you prick me, do I not bleed?

by studentteacher83 @ Wednesday, 25. Feb, 2009 – 19:29:35

I stabbed one of my year elevens this afternoon. It was only with a compass and it wasn't like I meant to. She hadn't wound me up to such an extent that I felt like murdering her, though she has pushed it pretty close before. I just accidentally caught her when handing it to her. The bizarre thing was that after that she did some really good work so I might do it again next lesson.

  Unfortunately you're probably right, might keep a compass handy though

    You'll probably need to keep one handy, for teaching purposes.

Next time she plays up, threaten to get out the compass

  I could escalate it and get out my whiteboard compass (it has a very impressive spike)

I tend to elbow my pupils in the head quite frequently if they walk past me when I'm gesturing. They never seem to mind!

  You've probably dazed them to such an extent they don't notice anymore. At my school it's more like that my pupils' elbows would hit me in the head!

Love your blog! I have to speak to teachers everyday and your not on your own, so stab away if it gets results. Ok maybe not to many times! lol

You are still there? I have been reprimanded for far less ... a pupil grabbed a hat and pulled it roughly on my head and over my eyes. I snatched it off and flicked her on the shoulder. This, it seems, was assaulting a pupil. I had to wait three weeks for a decision... mental torture!!

  Oh dear that all sounds a bit dramatic. She's basically a nice pupil (the one I stabbed) so it was okay. Just.
