yeah, i plant to run everything past the HOD. there was one fanatical grandfather who protested to his granddaughter reading anything but the bible - apparently novels are the work of the devil - but she's been pulled out now so should be okay.

todayu went well. no classes so brilliant! bvut everytime i went past the assistant principal I got a new job - so have gone from part-time to very fulltime. Also have been given a laptop. But am less freaked and more excited now so thanks everyone for your support! will post more tomorrow night! that will be the real test!]]> Mon, 04 Feb 2008 18:47:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14170&PID=294163&title=eeek#294163 <![CDATA[eeek : Check all those movies Liz, as...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14170&PID=294154&title=eeek#294154 Author: miss

Check all those movies Liz, as a new teacher you want to run everything you do by the bosses until you have a proper feel for it. i would have said Howl's moving castle too, but again it is a witchy movie, so may not be suitable.

They may have rules on ratings - a lot have had m ratings that have been suggested, that may not be allowed.

BTW, i also don't really like kids. And I ama grumpy bag, but that is seperate to teaching. SOmething makes it different somehow!]]> Mon, 04 Feb 2008 18:36:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14170&PID=294154&title=eeek#294154 <![CDATA[eeek : Shawshank is a great movie.

Good Luck Liz, am sure everything will be fine once you get into the swing of it.

Rabbit Proof Fence would be a good movie to study, lots of good discussion points....but a word of advice - if its a fairly stauch christian school, I would maybe "run it past someone" first, its so easy to offend people or be seen to be teaching something other than the "principles" of the school. My mum works at a christian school and I know that they have to be pretty careful to not get complaints from parents. At their school they banned the Harry Potter books as they thought that witch-craft etc was not a good thing for children to be exposed to, I think thats a bit OTT personally, but its their school...so they can do what they like I gues....sorry off topic....anyway, prob best to just check with someone first! Save yourself any future grief!

So have been teaching at my new school since wednesday and so far everything is going really well - i'm calm, collected and in control. But Monday - well, on monday the actual students arrive. turns out I'm a great teacher when there are no students around. now am getting more than a little nervous. everyone has said to me what a great teacher I will be - but I'm not convinced. I mean, i lose my temper with the kids heaps - I cold do the same ting with these thugs. At staff meetings the deputy was saying how in our job you really need to enjoy kids - I don't know that i do. i see them in the street and generally avoid making contact cause most of them are idiots - not the kinda thing you should be thinking as a teacher.

i am honestly terrified that I'm going to screw up on day one and lose their respect forwever - and it beinga christian school, that I offend all and sundry with talks about going for a wine after work

and I haven't seen lewis properly in days - i arrive home at 3:30. 3:40 he goes to work. i miss talking things through with him. have resorted to crappy email letters.]]> Sun, 03 Feb 2008 21:36:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14170&PID=293389&title=eeek#293389
