My students love it, nice bit of sci-fi that engages with them:

Oh I see what you mean!  Excellent effects!

[Simon]

Yes, very good!

Shame my class were far more impressed with that than the real images..

   You are learning fast.

I have my own trainee teacher at the moment... tis odd being the otherside of teacher training!

It's amazing how quickly a teaching career moved forward these days.  At the special needs school I used to do school runs for (I still do school runs, but for a different school now), their TAs (or, SSAs) seem to become fully fledged teachers within a few months!

That's not the norm.... that's low staffing!

Well, that would figure.  Our local authority is trying to cut costs wherever it can.  Many local head teachers are now split between two or three schools.

Scary. Leads to huge problems and the franchising of our education of the youth.

It's not great for the schools to only have 'part-time' heads, and it must be bloody hard work too!
