Report writing in the fast lane

I'm coming to realise that report writing is much like motorway driving in the UK.  It's the one main bit of the job that you are not fully allowed to do when you are still learning.  But once you're into it for real, you're supposed to, nay, expected to know exactly what you're doing.  And despite all the warnings, tips, suggestions from the more experienced, nothing can really prepare you for what is quite involved.

Writing reports for a class of 28 children is mental.  It doubles the normal teacher workload, I tell you!

Cla cla classy

The setting: Dance class in the school auditorium.  Cha cha cha couples dance with reluctant teenagers, boys vastly outnumbering girls.
Result: 30 year old female teacher mucks in and dances with 11 year old male student.

Male student: "Tell me when the dance is over so I know when to open my eyes."
Teacher: "Won't it be easier to dance with your eyes open."
Male student: "Not really, I know what to do with my feet, and I'd rather keep my eyes closed as I'm looking straight at your lady lumps."

So classy.
