Teachers get it handy!

The wains' attention span is shocking thee days for a film.

Anything longer than a YouTube reel is classed as too long.

They want to colour as they watch a film.

No thank yous when handing out party food.

Exact same in our school too

Adults becoming no different. Screens and scrolling and rewiring people's brains. The sister in law is a primary teacher and she says a common theme with most of the weans statemented as having ADHD etc. is that they are addicted to being on a tablet or a phone. The parents say it settles them, but it's likely they were given them like a dummy to soothe them when they were small and now they can't last 5 minutes in a structured environment without them.

We had our school do yesterday.  Long day on the sauce, bit shook today.  Ran into a good few past pupils, from last year's LC class to past pupils whose kids are now in the school.  It was nice to catch up, and to have a laugh over stunts and episodes from their times in school.  Two in particular,  who would have had their fair share of bother in school, and scrapes with the law in late teens and early 20s, but have turned things around, have kids, getting married, building houses, and one lad has 12 working for him.  I know there's plenty think teachers are whinging precious pricks a lot of the time, and no doubt there would be plenty of evidence to support a certain amount of those views,  but whenever I get wound up by those labels, it's nice to have memories of conversations like last night when you'd get an acknowledgement that you helped someone along the way, and they cared enough to remember it and to tell you.
Happy Christmas to all, whether you like us teachers or not!!

At least have some memories from last night 

I remember being out with a teacher mate and a past pupil came over to talk to him late into the night and she was now a fully grown and scantily clad woman, with drink taken. He says to me "we need to get out of here!" 🤣 An occupational hazard!

Haha, the 'I know you from somewhere' line takes on a lot of responsibility.  The last thing you want to hear is 'Yeah, at my son's/ daughter's parent-teacher meeting: not the answer you want to hear!!
