Well, what a pleasant way to end the week. I had another teacher pass on the comments of her students, that "Mr C is a cool teacher." It was a very nice thing to hear at the end of a long week, when I'm rather exhausted. They were evidently asking who'd be cross-marking their work, and whether it'd be me. This may of course just mean that I'm perceived as a soft marker, but I'll take the compliment quite happily.
I then had a student visit me during last period to sign her leaving form. She's signed up for a nannying course, which is very cool, and had been given the afternoon off to tidy up her school leaving stuff. As she was leaving she thanked me for teaching her for all of 5 lessons (she's in the class that I took over half way through the year), and said something like "you're a cool teacher mister, thanks for being so cool." Very loudly. Just outside the open door of the classroom. The class laughed when I walked back in. I felt somewhat sheepish, but also flattered.
So, now I take my cool self home.
