Also: How many college instructors do we have in this thread, anyway? I count at least three specifically declared (me, Peebles, shraeye). Anyone else?

Vote: Axxle
If Axxle is a substitute teacher I'm looking at you next.
vote: Axxle
Oh gosh as of tomorrow, I'm a substitute teacher (no really, this is actually true IRL), but please don't vote me!
A sub? Dude, you're so screwed...
...or maybe kids in Britain aren't as troublesome as kids in the US?
Depends on the
kingdom school. The one I was at is kinda interesting - it's in a fairly deprived area of the city, so it gets a lot of intake of troublesome children, but that same area is also where a lot of students from the university live, and a moderate number stay in the area, have kids and they eventually go to this school, meaning you end up with some real troublemakers who just won't listen, and some kids who are exceptional.
As for my first day working, it went pretty well. I enjoyed it. I may or may not be back there tomorrow.
