Open day update

So my open day went ok. The kids were heaps shy in front of the parents and refused to get involved in the big gestures and jumping around that they did last week. So to make up for it, or to make them get more involved I was being twice as stupid as usual and all the parents gave me a big standing ovation afterwards. Be better if the kids had just done what they normally done and been heaps genki. Eventually I will forgive them for making me look bad in front of their parents and my principal. Perhaps. Towards the end they started to liven up a bit but by then it was just too late. BOO.

The big bonus what that after class the whole school just went home so I get out of teaching my grade 6 hell-class! Yippee! And on top of which the staffroom is dead because the teachers are all being harassed by parents concerned about their precious child who isn't getting enough attention. Love not being a homeroom teacher I tell you what! Or a real teacher at all. But that does also mean that I am stuck here for another 2 hours with bugger all to do. All the parents who came were mums. I did not see one dad. I guess it's because they are working and not really their choice, but it kind of sucks that they have to miss out on all this stuff because of their job. I wouldn't want to be a Japanese salaryman for anything. But I guess I will find all this stuff out anyway if I ever have kids cos I would go mental without working. As soon as they are in school I'll be back at work to retrieve my sanity (and pay for their expensive little social lives). Unless I marry a billionaire Anna Nicole style and then I can just potter around and if I don't rock up to work one day because I have to see my kid at school then who cares if they fire me? Yeah, that's a good plan. Know anyone suitable?
