hello rover

Well my 4th week here ended on a low note. I didn't get my physics class right and they all got bored and one of them was having a birthday and no one wanted to do physics and they were really out of control for about half an hour which really threw me. I didn't even think to use the discipline procedure of sending one of them to the responsible thinking room, but I think it was good not to in some ways. I regained control and calmed them down, but I just didn't have enough for them to occupy themselves productively. So, another lesson learnt. Occupy everyone all the time with something and they are less likely to be disruptive. On a better note, I went to the trivia night at the local pub with the teachers team and we won. The prize was a $100 bar tab which was used quite rapidly. Still teaching is definitely still what I want to do and I still find it fun.
