Sticking to my guns

This week, I have been a sad panda.

I think this is because nothing has been going to plan. I feel like the Year 9's are waaay behind, and the year 10's are hating life in my class. The seniors are getting attitude, and I am nervous to start teaching technical drawing. Gaaahhh. Time for a coffee.

Looking back over the week, it is hard to judge whether or not the sadness and disapointment is from my spring time flu, the fact that I miss my family or that it is week 8 and the stress for external submissions is building.

Very hard to tell where it is from. but I do think that alot of it is coming from the fact that I have had a couple of lessons this week where the students have not been very happy, and have been treating me with dis respect and not doing as they have been asked.

This is a hard thing to get through, because it seems like I need to be harder, but getting harder does not work, there are not positive responses from this approach.

Next week, I will try harder and stop giving soo many chances. There are only so many times a student can be rude or display disruptive behaviour before they get sent out - and this needs to be followed through. Urk. I must stick to my guns.
