And that's another term over!

Thank gawd End of the school term and just a few more hoary pupils to endure ...

Somehow have managed to get through 10 weeks without murdering, mutilating or massacre any classes or fellow treachers!

There were times of fun, times of farce ... situations that only a cruel and sadistic power could create ...

But, as usual, life goes on and now it is time to enjoy the freedom of the open roads, to wander around the lanes that track our fair lands and to find that little peace of mortal heaven in the solace of riding.

Roll on 3.15pm ... Oh damn, may have spoke too soon, excuse me while I go off and end the lives of a few miscreants in the classroom now!

Spoken like a true English teacher! I couldn't agree more. Almost half my class is away sick (THANKFULLY) so it's just a few more hours until I too am FREE!!! For two weeks at least. Oh ya, early closing today at 2:00!!! AND the PRINCIPAL is away...

Lucky you! Tch, wouldn't you believe it, I have two pupils working away through interval to complete their static image assessment. Typical! Can't get a thing out of these lumps and all of a sudden they want to do it all on the last day!

Ah well, least I can sit in my classroom and just enjoy the remains of the day ...

It seems times have really changed. Teachers can access computers and put posts on instead of actually teaching kids these days.......

No, that's where you have it all wrong. I am modelling appropriate computer usage. I this way, they'll understand that email is another vital communication method.

Just bringing NZ kids into the future...

Big Dave, you have a job which pays you to go ride bikes, you do realise no-one has an ounce of sympathy for you! ... now, lets swap jobs and see who gets to ride off into the sunset giggling!

And as for playing for children for a living, I hear that gets you landed in jail these days! (oh, wait ... not that sort of playing!)

Managed to leave school today without bashing any heads together! Kids were so engrossed trying to submit their last assessment in to me that they didn't ask for a movie to be played!

Mind you, a lot of tired treachers were crowding the drinks table as I left ... thank gosh I am a teetotaller!

Now ... where to ride ...

In the past, they just used to put their feet up, read a novel/porno magazine and drink coffee ... or do their slips for the gee-gees ...

Funny thing was, I was using Excel before I posted to do up a work table for the attendance breakdown for my tutor class

Much rather be doing Solitaire or minesweeper!

[Squiggles]

No more free lunches for two weeks

No more free lunches for two weeks

I got quite good at confiscating food and vittles from the kids! Just used to take it and eat it right in front of them ... even if they had taken a bite from it!

They learned about Mr.Joe's "Taxes" pretty quick! Got harder and harder to snaffle a free feed ... best I ever did in one day was so much food, even I couldn't eat it all!

Teachers are a bit soft, must agree, too much time on their hands etc.

Oh, watch the fireworks................
