    Jee what a frustrating afternoon and can i just say i feel sorry for anyone of you out there who does supply teaching. i helped in dd's class this afternoon and there was a supply teacher. there are always three children who are little ***** in that class but i've never seen behaviour like it. one boy was rolling round on the floor shouting my balls my balls i'll never be a father...quite honestly i think it would be a good idea to stop his gene pool!!! two other children were throwing sissors and swearing at each other, another was shouting at the top of his voice so no one could hear the teacher, they were throwing chairs around. i had one child come within inches of my face and yell at me and then try to spit. the supply asked me if i'd mind going to get help as she didn't know who to get. talk about no support. i dragged a very strict t.a. down and we got four children removed from the class. later on i went to get them back and they're only being allowed to play board games!!! what message is that giving.....I AM LIVID! ok, i'll calm down!!! that poor teacher has just said it's the worse school she's ever been in and i can honestly say i was embarrassed at the behaviour. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

    ok, i'll breath. i'm doing chicken roast dinner so need to go and get some stuff for stuffing. also need to get rabbit food. grrrrrrrrrrr xx

    Mudbath.. I truly sympathise.. I went in to help once.. the children weren't too horrific but I wanted to pummel the teacher into oblivion.. and as for the children I'd have to be restrained from trying to beat them!! lol Then DD3 was sent out of her class yeterday she got herself a couple of extra work sheets to do.. and half a dozens fleas in her ears from me and hubby and sent to bed early! She was angelic today! lol

    Tuna pasta bake here.. best go do it actually.

  • 60 litres of paint for the fence arrving tomorrow - so I checked the weather and... it is going to chuck down - oh well, the house is in need of a bit of tlc :rotfl:

    Although I REALLY do want to get that job finished so please keep your fingers crossed for a dry (and if I am not pushing my luck) non windy spell ;)

    Mudbath - omg I know what you mean where is the incentive for them not to behave like that again?!

    ok, phone stopped me back to the lounge....

    Hello All.

    Mudbath I can't believe that children are allowed to get away wityh this now. The teacher seem to be scared of the children, and I can't say that I really blame them because as soon as any teacher/TA goes near a child the cghild just screams that they can't touch them etc.

    How old is your DD, Mudbath?


    Well have done a little today but note enough to even try and strke through the list. Guess there won't be any doggie biscuits for me today :(


    I have washed and tumbled clothes-although they are in a poor pile in the kitchen ATM
    Cleared out behind the settees
    Take DS and DD to playschool
    Had car MOT. It passed :D:D


    HHmmmmm


    Sure there was more....No Oh yes manage to do half hour in the garden.


    Really doesn't look like much. Must try harder tomorrow.

    raph - I found that gumtree were good when I sold my car (free). You could try adtrader, I think thats about £20. I got a lot of dodgy emails tho. People asking me to ship my car to the canaries and such like. Bizarre!!

    I'm going to try freeads, & I'll have a look at gumtree thanks.
