Everyone has been mega busy today! I have not had a good day at work, seem to have lost all confidence in my abilities as a teacher since new guidelines were introduced, got a 2 for last 2 inspections, one of them this academic year and yet internal system seems much worse:(. Any advice from fellow teachers would be much appreciated, I actually burst into tears today but fortunately in our office and not in front of the kids. I still love being in the classroom with the kids and feel that I am effective and have been told by my head of department that I am a good teacher so why do I not prove it when it comes to being watched
Sorry for self indulgent rant,
Flying wise I have
Wm x 1

put washing on radiators
admired mt new rotary dryer that Dh has been and fetched and put up valli it came with matching pegs!
