Riding high!

[fadagaski]

I am loving my PGCE at the moment. I've planned two lessons, hopefully to deliver next week to top set year 7. Then I go into teaching them a 4-week scheme of work on ballads.

I start teaching year 9 second set on writing to describe next week, for three weeks, which will be great fun (I love creative writing).

I'm well supported by staff in my department and just having a thoroughly awesome time. Which means I'm due for a(nother) slump, but life's a rollercoaster (you just gotta riiide it...).

Today's school/northeast fail:

Sunderland student teacher 1: Our lecture this week was on diversity. Two hours could have been summed up as 'be tolerant'. It's so obvious.

Me: Yeah. Ours was on the theme that 'bullying children due to their sexuality is wrong and you should stop it'. Because that's such a novel, outlandish concept.

SST2: I never thought of it like that before. We can stop it can't we.

SST1: My sister's school had a thing where all the kids declared they were bisexual. It was trendy.

Me: That is so cool!

SST2: There's no such thing. It's just greedy.

SST1: Yeah, greedy.

Me: ... Thanks.
