Comments on My troubled days in teaching.

Go to ideas and sensitivityAdd a commentGo to My troubled days in teaching.

I teach mainly teenagers.
Most of them are lovely, and I have fond memories of most of them, and the ratbags are really miffed when they come up to me on the street and I don't remember who they are. Just goes to show, they don't usually get to me much. If they have been horrors, I remind them a few years later of their atrocious behaviour, we usually have a laugh and they apologize. Teaching is a calling, it is certainly not for the money we earn in this country.

Interesting reaction from the head teacher
along the lines of they  can't condone what you did but the child needed to be brought up short. I teach young adults who choose their subject but I don't have it in me to teach young children
