oddness

So I wake up this morning, and hear the rain smashing down on to our roof. My heart sinks. I do NOT want to cycle to school for 25 minutes, and then arrive wet as a fish. Plew...So I decide to be damn cheeky and .....take a taxi. Yes yes I know...spoilt! But hey....if it had been my other schools..I would have cycled. Because I would have been taken care of by the lovely staff once I arrived looking like I'd drowned. But not at this school.....

It was worth it!

Aaaanyways. I discovered the miracle cure...or the holy grail of dealing with handicapped class!!!! Are you ready for this?.....drum roll......board games! Seriously it worked like the teensy bit of rum you stick in the milk for the baby, so that it sleeps through the night. The start fo the class was the usual shenanigens....them not listening..not responding...doing their own thing bla bla.....and then after about 15 minutes of torture I brought out my snakes and ladders game I made for this particular topic (stationary and "what's this? , It's a .........."). It was amazing. They actually settled down and played. The class was quite quiet and peaceful. Even the teachers said they had fun today....because the kids enjoyed it. And I finally had a good handicapped lesson.

so that was the first odd interesting thing.....the second was a tantruming child that started having a screaming match at the teachers room. She started screaming "sensei" several times....the teacher wasn't answering...so she got louder and louder. Then...she started going full blown mad. It was highly entertaining....though a little awkward. Again it made me wonder about this trait of drama in children. Where does it come from? Where does this sense of drama come from? Why do children ahve to be so loud? attention seeking? and obvious about things so that everyone can see how they feel? I guess adults do this too....but then again...why is that?....do we like that sort of thing? I wonder if there is some sort of evolutionary significance to that. mjaaaaa

totally addicted to sex and the city, it makes me giggle with girlish delight...ohhh dear
