Teaching again today, just my semi-regular 2 and a bit hours. I really hate children. I lost control of the room today, one of them kicked my cajon, I went mental at them - scary, shouty Richards. Huge eyes, could hear my voice from 2 classrooms away.
Called the organiser/lady who booked me afterwards and explained that I can teach them stuff, but when they show no willingness whatsoever it's really quite tricky. We've realised the same problem kid is the little shit that has been causing problems for lots of teachers, and he is being sent home a week early. He'll grow into trouble, that one, you can see that already and he's only 13.
Met up with old mucker Julia for a drink, and then back at the college for a TED talk, whilst moaning with the fellow teachers about the children.
I'm glad this is only a temporary thing (I finish it next week after 3 more lessons), real teaching is easy, but keeping the discipline in the room is a nightmare, especially when I'm such a nice awkward chap, and all that. Well, apart from today.
I need to finish writing my Edinburgh shows.
