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.

i'm not sure you do. at present am trying to think of a movie I can study with year 12s. i really want to do The Green Mile - but would it offend anyone???? Christian people!!!!! help me! I would love to do Moulin Rouge, but not sure it is "boyish" enough to appeal to everyone - lewis wasn't keen on it. Could do Spirited away, but i only have the Japanese version - wth French subtitles.

If you liked spirited away, maybe Howl's Moving Castle? It rocked - made by the same people I think too.
We did a horrible Australian movie in 6th form... I don't even remember what it was... just some aussies with really sharp accents complaining about their house being demolished. I think half the class fell asleep

What about Coach Carter? That has to be one of the most inspirational movies I've seen in a long time...or To kill a mockingbird? I love that movie, we did it in 6th Form, a lonnnnnnnnnggggg time ago.

Yeah, Rabbit Proof Fence would be a good one for writing essays - lots to talk about with that movie. So sad  though
Good luck for today Liz!
