Why am I a teacher? I should have been a barber!!

I just wanted to show off my mad skills as a hair dresser. Ryan was complaining that his hair was too long, so I helped him out. Ish (Christy's bf) had a razor so he brought it over tonight, and I worked some magic. It's a thing of beauty, I say! K, forget it, I was going to post a pic, but blogger isn't cooperating. Maybe later?

At least cutting his hair got my mind off what my headteacher said to me this afternoon. He had the nerve to come to my classroom at the end of the day when the kids were lining up and say that I didn't have a good routine, and that they shouldn't be talking in the hallways. If he had seen them a week ago, he would be impressed with how quiet they are now. But, he'll get a taste of it tomorrow. I am going to observe a class at another school, and he is teaching my class for the morning. We'll just see how well he does!! Ok, just one quick story. When he came into the class they were just getting lined up in the classroom to head out to the hall to get their bags and coats and whatever and go outside. One of the boys (who has autism) wasn't lining up with the rest of the class, but I couldn't deal with him at the moment because I was busy handing out letters to go home and answering a million and one silly questions from the kids that they always come out with at the end of the day.

So Head teacher comes in and says to me, "what are they doing?" (pointing to the autistic boy and someone else who was finishing packing up his things), To which I replied - quite honestly - "I don't know."
So he turns to the two boys and says to the autistic one, "Hey you, get up and get ready to go home." The boy doesn't even acknowledge that he is being spoken to (probably because he was being called 'hey you' instead of his name) and continues doing what he was doing before. The head teacher then turns to me and asks, not "what is his name", but "does he speak english?" I must have looked at him funny because he asked me again, not quite so nicely this time, "does he speak english??" to which my stunned and seemingly obvious answer was "yes." Good luck tomorrow Head, good luck.
