Being a student can be so relaxing: not in charge, sit back, yawn, take it easy, randomly shout out your silly opinions. Chuck Logan enjoying it.

So my mind is still on the class from Hell...
This week's classes at North Brassington were quite laid back after the half-term break. Discussion in the morning and talk about the assignment on creating our own curriculum in the afternoon.
Again: interesting enough. Why did I often get so bored by the first year and now it seems more interesting. Perhaps I find the theories very dry and want more discussion of the practical aspects and the current situation in Further Education. Hmmm. Or maybe I'm just getting into the idea of being a teacher. Maybe.
Again this morning we were talking about 'wrongness'. How wrong are certain things to do. That was okay. I'm far too praising these days.
Just forget about the practical thing. The actual teaching.
Cos theoretically I'm A GREAT TEACHER. My portfolio got a great mark. I'm just sunk as a REAL teacher. Though time is a healer. I don't feel as bad as I did last week. Hoo ha.................... Do my prep. Do my work. Hope it works out okay.
Good advice from the Sociology teacher and the Beauty Therapy teacher. Hurrah for them.
Women teachers are good at discipline I think. Less male ego to cope with. Less need for male students to go mano-a-mano? I wonder if that's official thought and theory.
That women do it better?
I know a friend who used to work in a bookies and the guys losing money would want to fight him - really - he got attacked with a hammer. The middle aged women that worked there never got the same level of attack. They weren't a threat to the losers. It's a valid point, but I'm not sure anyone wants to hear it......
