#Insultoftheweek
Pupil: “Miss, what does patronising mean?”
Me: “When you talk down to someone as if they’re younger or inferior to you in a bad way.”
Pupil: “Oh, you mean like you did in our first ever lesson together?”

Feeling out of control in the classroom?
It doesn't mean you're a bad teacher.
It doesn't mean you're in the wrong profession.
BUT
It does mean that you need to pull back your energies and recoup.💚

Pupil: “What does catastrophe mean?”
Me: “It’s similar to a disaster.”
Pupil: “Oh, like this lesson then.”
