Drowning in marking

I think that marking is the worst part of my job. When I was in the rough school it didn't used to be - the worst bit was being sworn at on a regular basis. I used to think I'd had a good day if a kid hadn't called me a name. Now things are different. Now I have marking. Marking is tedious and dull - how bad must that be - not just one or the other but both?

I know I am lucky to be in the school I am now in. I did not enjoy going home each day and bursting into tears at a friends house, or into the cat, that's if I could wait that long, it sometimes happened in the staffroom, but I was in good company. So yes, I complain about the marking, and secretly I know I am lucky to be able to complain about it.

What was the point of this post? No idea.
