Day 300 - Hanging On

Wednesday February 10th

300 days gone by. This time last year, we were planning our flight over the pond to visit schools and find a house.

This week is proving to be relatively relaxed as no-one was expecting me to be here. Got back into teaching and had a couple of decent lessons with Year 8s. Everyone seems to be hanging on for half term, which is a bit strange as it's been a snow-shortened 6 weeks since Christmas. The weather and illness have taken their toll.

First proper parents evening tonight with Year 9. Spent quite a bit of time preparing so was pleased with how it went. At one point I saw a look of horror spread over one father's face as I laid into his son. I almost stopped but went ahead anyway. It needed to be said.
