I am just going over my lessons for tomorrow.

We are looking at poverty and I have some footage of people living on smokey mountain in Manila. The families are literally wading through shit and piss on a daily basis.

I could say wading through excrement - which is what I did last week to my other group.

But was just thinking is there ever space for colourful language to get a point across.

Wanders off for cup of tea/

lol thisisyesterday.

They are not angels but not awful. I know them as well as you can know a class that you have seen once a week since sept.

Additional factor - I am being observed by a student teacher.

i say yes, you should.

but I am probably wrong and the children will prob tell their parents and some of the parents will probably complain. bah

Hmm, how well do you know this class? I should think there is space for colourful language with sensible 15/16 year olds - but if they are the other kind you are going to get them attempting to use their own colourful language and citing you as precedent.
