    You did the right thing by supporting your ex partner!! Too many senior people trying to protect kids from things they should know in reason? How old were the children?

    I agree. Teaching is becoming ever more stressful and it's no fun when you just live for the holidays.

    Thanks Iuv for the virtual valentine gift! :x
    I feel a teaching rant coming on, but in honour of the llamas and my own sanity, I’m putting my weapon down and backing away slowly from my own inner winge monster.

    I've been subbing more lately than I have in a while. The lack of effort and progress is disheartening. It's assured me that I made the right decision to leave my own clasroom.
    If I were dead, could I do this?

    You mean pupil progress and effort? What do you put that down to?

    A circus is in town and has pitched quite near to where we live. A sad camel is all alone in the field. Now where are me bolt cutters....

    On the subject of circuses, who here is here and who against? I’m vehemently against.

    Anything in particular?  Clowns can freak me out.

    Just the exploitation and incarceration of animals. No I know that’s going to open up an argument about pet keeping, but it’s the fact that circus animals are taken so far from their natural habitats / climate zones and bullied to perform tricks which makes modern audiences no better than medieval animal baiting spectators. How can a camel, a desert dwelling animal, possibly be happy sitting in a Lincolnshire field all alone in February, not to mention all the hours spent on the road etc etc. I wouldn’t go to a circus if you paid me. As for clowns, they’re puerile and pointless in my view. I never liked slapstick even as a kid. I just feel that circuses are a bit of an anachronism now, but clearly others don’t, going on the cars parked nearby.

    I like the history of circus's but I think they are anachronistic in the 21st century to be honest. Animal welfare is a far hotter potato than it was when I was a kid but, then again, that was so long ago life was all in 2D and black and white!

    Do you remember being able to tell the colors, even though it was black and white?

    I would simply take whomever manages the circus and tie him to a steel post and make him perform for me. If he disobeys, he gets the cattle prod. Simples.

    I swear I could tell if something was red or blue or green.
