I went to the feral school again today. I'm in the process of losing my voice, which made things interesting, but overall, we managed that aspect of it quite well. Two of my year six classes were quite well behaved today, so last week's optomism wasn't completely unfounded. However, the middle class was still quite horrible. Several kids were openly reading books rather than participating, and the homeroom teacher didn't seem to mind. When we were playing pairs/memory with upper and lower case letters, one kid threw all the alphabet cards for his group on the floor. Instead of repremanding him, the teacher just picked them up for him and gave them back. Five minutes later, they were back on the floor again. Repeat scenario...
It wasn't all doom and gloom though, because my year fives were great, and my year twos were absolutely incredibly gorgeous, and were responding loudly and enthusiastically despite my reduced volume (I really love the littlies!) Also, one my year six students gave me a ring made out of sticky tape. It was really cool, had a sticky tape diamond on it and everything, and had the added advantage that the event made Hunter insanely jealous!
