The Diary of a Teacher

Friday, 05/09/2014
Good Lord its Friday! It’s been demanding to work early moving in the rain for the better part of the week. Being on duty, it’s been worse than before.
My Math’s lesson for the day was least fair. Only a few pupils understood. I would want all to read from the same page. Should I repeat the lesson?
If only the grade 8 class had been disciplined, I could not have punished them. They should be revising for their major exam. What was the noise for? The prefect should have prevented it.
Having four lessons on this day, two of which are double, make my Friday the busy most day. Sometimes I get discouraged.
By my table I have assignments to look at and reports to write. Tomorrow is a Saturday and I would not want to have todays work undone.
Back to my house and it’s all demanding. Who will do the chores for me? I just should…
 Lights off…
