Can I just say, little girls are SUCH a pain!!! I've had endless trouble with the girls in my class these last few weeks cos all they ever do is fall out!! I almost wish the boys in my class would have a punch up, just for a bit of variety!!
I suppose we can all remember being 8 or 9, when all that mattered was who was your best friend and how upset you got if you fell out with them, but it's a real pain in the neck! I'm tempted just to give them a slap! One of the problems is that I have tons of girls - 20 girls, 8 boys - in my class. Never a good think. Balance is what you want. Plus also a bunch of the girls I have are such utter drips! Someone says "I'm not your friend", and they burst into tears... I really have to bite my tongue not to just yell "pull yourself together you wuss!!"
Anyway, social worker Cath is in residence rather than the teacher these days I think!! YUK!
