Multi-Post Dealy...
Good work point: I have a working whiteboard again! Yay... this means I can use it again to teach with, and we can watch things, and hear things, and do lots of interactive things in the classroom.
Bad work point: Next week is the residentaly 'outdoor activities' trip that the school does anually. No I'm not going on a resi... not if they paid me double for that week, not even triple, but it does mean that I'm going to have a bunch of kids in my class that aren't mind and that I don't know, because their teacher /is/ going. He's male, and they have to have one male go in case the boys need help.
They orignially had a plan that meant this wouldn't have to happen. One of the other teachers was going to take his class while two classes with few kids left would combine to make one. Now TPTB have decided this arrangement isn't good enough and so we all have to have extra kids that aren't ours. So instead of having a nice smaller class that we can do fun things with and /all/ have fun, we that are left have bigger classes than we started with, have to give the kids fun to make up for them not going on the resi, which I have no problem with in principle, except that the 'extra' kids are outside of the yeargroup meant for the residential trip, /and/ not in my yeargroup either. WHich means I'll have a mixed class. (They extras are younger than mine.)
