Catching up on Week two

So here i am on this cool Saturday morning and as i listen to the music of the radio i feel every word reflective of what happened this week! the song being played is "River of Tears" by Baron. This week continued to be one of challenges and as such teachers were asked to Rest and Reflect on our conditions. So here goes... the week in review:
Sunday stayed at home and planned work for the week to ensure that I am fully prepared for my charges!
Monday: students who did not attend school last week attended and started their academic year! Now this trips me cause if they did not come last week then teachers CANNOT be blamed for they "missing out on five crucial days of learning!" One difficulty that i am experiencing is that of some students not completing given task within a specified time! Need to review my strategies and plan for their inclusion in the lessons.
Tuesday: Continued to work with pupils and contemplating the benefits of doing Journals and other note task with students so as to develop skills. These are a group of students who need as much support as necessary but it only happens in the school!
Wednesday: It is so hot and uncomfortable in the classroom, ventilation is poor although there are lots of windows and one fan for 17 individuals is not enough! To be working in a classroom which is blocked by blackboards and cupboards all aid to the noise level and the stifling heat of the school! Working conditions must be improved!!!!!!!
Thursday: I heeded the call to REST AND REFLECT.... i had to clarify some misunderstanding on one radio station! John Public forget that teachers are people too and as such they tend to say all sorts of things about what we do , but can they do what we do? I dare any person to come and try to do what i do for ONE day and then we will talk!
Friday: I heeded the call to continue to R and R but I also chose to join with my colleagues to   make John Public aware of our needs!
