Exhausted

I can't believe I have been back less than two weeks - it feels forever. It's not that anyone has been particularly disruptive (apart from a year 11 class that would need a miracle to be anything else) but I am just so tired, there is so much to do and I feel I am already slipping behind.

The highlight of my teaching week has been a class I teach after school to make up the full GCSE. They are a small group (9), they chat away happily, I chat away happily, and hopefully at the end of it we have learned something - actually knowing the students, they will have learned quite a bit. What would make me really happy is if there are still 9 of them by the end of the course. If teaching was like this all the time you really wouldn't have a struggle to recruit new teachers.
