Had a bad few days on supply. Well not bad but a lot of children who seemed incapable of following instructions, listening to each other and who insisted they had the right to talk over everyone else because they were so important. Then a few of did not get the work done in class and winged it was boring and "Miss lets us play if we have to cancel PE"
So get home, collect son from after school club and we practised spellings. He did not want to do them, he winged, tried to negotiate, did them unneatly with little effort. Just hard work - which was the last thing I needed after two days of supply.
I think he got a bit of my stress from the previous few days. We perservered with some sad faces on the board (actually that was bloody effective - never done that with him but it really worked). But it felt exactly the same as being a teacher and as stressful. Except I did not have the yellow card system when I could send him to the office so his parents got a phone call about his behaviour. Because I am his parent.:)
Anyway - he did hear about my day and how I felt when I told him off for not working and it finally sunk in.
