It has been great this week to get stuck into some proper lessons.
In one week, I have discussed matters of life and death, human rights, criminal responsibility, abortion and IVF with different groups of students.
Despite all the hard work, I drove home last Monday evening genuinely happy about the day’s work. Absolutely exhausted, but happy.
I am a fairly animated teacher and sometimes I have to make the effort to act as if I am enjoying myself (especially on a Friday afternoon). However, this year so far I have had so many classes where I have been genuinely interested and excited by what my students have contributed to the lesson, that I have not felt the need to “act”.
