Today was the first day of school.

I had a free this morning so I just spent it preparing for the day.

I went to my form fives after...STEUPS...........like they doh have a clue CXC is near. I mean, I really did try with them. I got a lot more done than I did in previous years. But I am lost. In a workshop yesterday, one group was told when students arent doing well, we the teachers have to look inward and ask ourselves what we are doing wrong.

I'm thinking that if I were that bad, none of my students wouldnt pass at all...so that the onus cant solely be on me. These boys dont think at all. That is why we had a workshop yesterday called Teaching Thinking Skills.

But I was reflecting aloud with my co workers today and saying that when I was in secondary school, I wasnt taught to think, or at least, I dont remember. I didnt have videos to watch or power point presentations to look at, and I still learned. Sometimes I dont feel like I am teaching. I feel like I have to entertain these children for 80 mins.

*sigh*

But the highlight today was comparing driver's permit pictures. One picture I saw of my friend Cassie..............I REAL laugh!!!!!!!! Her picture looked like she cuss way the whole of licensing that day. I told her whenever I am having a bad day I will look at her picture. It really is funny!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow is another day.
