Educating the East End

[Lilka]

Anyone?

This makes me wish I'd become a teacher- I love kids this age. But then I remember how awful every teacher on MN says it is .

I could not be a secondary teacher. It's a good job there are people that want to do it though-it must be very tough.

What happened? Why is Tawny shrieking?

Whoops - that was a bit of a cock-up...

We were all going to be Air Hostesses.

Tawny has clearly never heard the word no.

'Do you accept my apology?' WTF?

He is a knobber and she's an attention seeking child. Interesting she talks about her nan, wonder if she has a hard life?

Blimey, Tawney has played that poor sod like a fiddle, hasn't she?

He's trying to get them to like him

Oh I was going to be a gangsta rapper.

Never mind that I lived in a very rural farming community. I happily sucked my teeth and 'wattup, dawwwwg?' and may have told people I was born in South Central LA

Blimmin FB. High schools hate it.

I do feel sorry for the guy - he's trying to do his best.

Where did she get the photo?

BOF being a secondary teacher is the most awesome job in the world, I'm convinced it's easier than primary. Teenagers are awesome by and large. It is tough and exhausting but absolutely worth it.

I'm glad we didn't have FB when I was at school,

Me too Clash i had no true friends and was bullied really badly. I probably would have insisted on having FB nonetheless.

Goodness, I am so worried now for my kids going to secondary school

Only 6 out of 1000. Poor girl. And her mum in hospital.

I have two DC at two different High Schools. What I am watching does not bear any relation to their experience helen.

Sack. Him.

'I am having a nervous breakdown and you are bringing it on'. Wow.

Bless her! Acacia is breaking my heart, bless her. You can see she's let something snowball completely out of control.
