A rather thought provoking comment made about my last post...
I get the feeling that I offended you in some way, Agatha. That certainly wasn't my intention, and I certainly do understand your comment that if I go into the classroom thinking I can't control the class then I'm conceding defeat before we even begin. Maybe you're right and I shouldn't take up the post.
As to the thought that adults can be unpleasant too: oh, yes, I agree there. Perhaps I shouldn't've phrased my comments about adolescents quite as forcefully as I did. But for someone who's only dealt with primary school children, the thought of grown up children is a bit scary. I was trying to express this but obviously not very well. I have nothing but respect for Secondary School teachers and what they do every day. And I'm not sure if I can do it. But I'm thinking that I'd like to give it a go...
Anyway, I find with my sitting upright and typing my vertigo,which struck this morning, has got worse. So I'm off.
