You're not worthy!

One of my pupils gave me a Christmas card and on it she wrote: "To the best teacher ever." What more can I say?

Laugh and the world laughs with you.

The other day I had just come into school and I got the distinct impression that there was something wrong with one of my shoes. There was. I was wearing an odd pair! At least they were both black. Should I go home immediately and change them or brave it out. I decided that there were worse things in life than wearing odd shoes so I stayed. No one actually noticed my faux pas until I told two members of staff and then it was advertised near and far. I even got mocking text messages from staff who weren't in school that day.

That was very embarassing but nowhere near as bad as my collegue who actually admitted that yesterday he tried to de-ice his windscreen with a can of white paint. The penny still hadn't dropped at the end of the day when his was the only car in the car park with "ice" on the windscreen! He even had another go with the paint spray!

If the children ever got to hear what their teachers were really like .....
