Re: not coping

I'll tell you a teaching story @outlander

So one day whilst I was in my office I had a student bring in a kitten. She had gotten it for her friend for her birthday. But instead of going to her house she thought it was a good idea to bring the kitten to school! So I sent her to class and baby sat the kitten for about two hours whilst she was in class. At lunch she gave the kitten to her friend. End of story you think but no!!

The next day the girl (who was given the kitten) came to school with the bloody cat. Her parents said she couldn't keep it so brought it to school 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ So I once again baby sat the kitten for most of the day until the girl took the kitten back from her friend and took it home. And no, I don't know what happened to the cat after that!

I did ask the obvious question, why couldn't they do this on the weekend or after school but the response was it was her birthday that day. Silly me hey 😊

So not only was I teaching but I was looking after this cat in my office!!!

Re: not coping

Well the kitten was cute @outlander but my role was teacher not baby sitter!!!

Did you know that I am ambidextrous.

When teaching and writing on the whilte board at school I mainly write with my left hand. But if my left hand gets tired then I will switch to my right hand. Can't tell the difference between the writing.

Freaks the kids out at school!!! Then of course they try and write with the other hand 😉

Re: not coping

Hey half of my teachers (and now my sisters teachers) bring their babies/toddlers in for the day 🤷‍♀️ so a kittens not to bad

No, i did not know that @Snowie which is your more dominent hand though?
Im right handed but i can write in small amounts with my left hand. My older hand injury prevents me from holding a pen too long so didnt really get to the point of being equal

Re: not coping

@outlander I have babysat my students kids before, as sad as that sounds.

My left hand is my dominant hand hun, but I cut scissors with my right. Most sports I play with my right too!!

Ok another fact about me, I was born on my Dad's Birthday. So every year we used to celbrate together until he passed away. I still celebrate with him however!
