Hangin’ in there!

Phew, made it to another Friday - what a week!

Everything’s coming together and although I’m completely knackered, I definitely feel I’m doing OK.

I only have one class where the behaviour is appalling, including for the other science teacher I share them with, so on Wednesday their Head of Year came in to see for himself. It actually went really well - in no small part due to my getting up at 4am when an idea for the lesson appeared to me in a dream/nightmare! His feedback included the line ‘I really liked your lesson and you as a teacher!’, which was a relief because I did feel I was being blamed for not managing their behaviour. My lessons yesterday and today with the same class also went well so hopefully I’ve turned a corner with them, I can’t continue with all that stress!

Anyway, I’m home now and looking forward to a relaxing evening in front of the telly with a curry.
