:rotfl: Certainly doesn't feel like that when pupils resent you, nor do they seem to give much in the way of thanks a lot of the time. So I do know where you're coming from.

One of the up sides of a school in "circumstances" is when you say "Will I be teaching x next year?"
They clutch you and say how much they need you.

Well done on the determination, hope you didn't wear too much of the wormer.
It has been the worst winter I've known (for feed) since having horses - nearly 25yrs!! Absolute rubbish!0
