UNCLEAN!!!!!
My class are all sick. I had a measly 17 students today. The rest were home. The ones that wereactually at school were coughing, sneezing and oozing mucous from every visable oraface.
This is where teaching becomes an Occupational Health and Safety hazard. I had to explain to 3 children today that even though phlegm isn't pleasant to have in your throat, you cannot spit it on the carpet during reading time. I also had to kindly tell little Ahmad that although his 'boogers are awesome fluro green' they don't belong on his maths book, and no I am not going to wipe it up for him.
Parents please.....if your child is feverish and leaking fluids....keep them at home! And if it is just a cold...please show them how to use a tissue!! I went through a quarter of a bottle of antibacterial hand sanitiser today.
I think the highlight (?) of today was when I paused during marking to look at little Sahib's sleeve. There was an odd patch of something stuck to it. He noticed me looking at it and said with a big grin,
