A day of first's...
1. First time I have ever ever taught a full one hour history lesson
1. First time a group of 30 boys have ever chanted 'good afternoon Miss Flower'
1. First time I have ever had to attend a disciplinary tribunal (not my own I hasten to add).
1. First time I have ever grassed on anyone, ever.
1. First time that I have liken religion to football in a classroom situation (it turns out that much like the protestant rebels in Mary's reign most boys would rather be burned at the stake than forced to change football team allegance).
I am exhausted. This surely is 'the Year of the Grown Up (TM) and thus Grown Up (TM) I am being (Irish boys with nice cars accepted) but today was above and beyond the call of duty... running from a pack of Union reps to a class of 12 year old boys scattering paper in my wake... I am more exhausted than I can remember being for a long time, and having inhaled a plate of fish. chips and mushy peas (so so worth retunring back up North for)... I think that it might just be time for bed.
Me. Bed. 7.30.
What more can I say?

Particularly liked... er... no.1 there - "Likening Religion to Football".. it certainly looks like that from an outsider's (to football, at least) point of view.
