School funnies
Today was probably one of the funniest Math 12A classes I've had. Because they have already gone into revision for their upcoming test now, all Claire* and I do now is just walk around class helping students with problems. And of course, there will be the occasional student mucking around, sleeping or talking.
Ethan* is such a lazy boy, Claire* has told me that he should be out there doing an apprenticeship rather than waste his time in school.
He was sleeping in class today, right in front of Claire* who didn't notice because she was busy talking to another student and marking papers. So I pointed him out to her. Guess what she did? XD
She picked up her tissue box (cos it was light, the students were telling her to use the flower pot! xD) and threw it at Ethan*.
OMFG. You should have seen his reaction. It was priceless. He literally jumped off his seat in shock. HAHA. The class cracked up.
Another boy in the class, a little like Ethan* but he's capable, just very very lazy. Vahn* has this issue about his school uniform, he will always, ALWAYS have to roll his sleeves up really high. God knows why, maybe to show off his guns? LOL.
So what happened was that we kept telling him to roll them down, which he never did of course.
And that's when it happened. The bell had just gone, everyone was packing up, I walked over told him to roll his sleeves down one last time when I realised, IT WASN'T EVEN THE SCHOOL UNIFORM SHIRT!
Of course I voiced it out, guess what he did?
"WOOHOOOOOOOO" and zooms out the door, much to the chagrin of me and the amusement of Claire*.
Sigh. I'm really going to miss this lot.
I started teaching Yvonne's* year 8 Maths class today, simply because Claire* and Yvonne* agree that I need more practice and experience with behaviour management (and this class is perfect for it!) I wouldn't say my lesson this afternoon was perfect, I still have a fair bit to go, but it was a good lesson that cleared up a lot of misconceptions with the students. :) Nicky* and Amy* even want to make me a goodbye card and hold a farewell party for me when they found out I leave next Friday. Cue awww here please! >w<
*Names have been changed.
