It's got so desperate at work that I'm desperately counting down the days and, as with all teachers, seem to be wishing my life away in the process.
With just a week of work left until the holidays, it can’t come quick enough. A bit of peace and quiet, a bit of a life back and, hopefully a bit of time to relax.
One thing which is really starting to bug me at school is the moment is the complete lack of interest of some pupils in the life of others. It’s been the same old comments this week: why do we have to study religion? I don’t want to know about anyone else. I don’t care about anyone else. It’s the same old story. One girl even told me that in her four years at school, she’d only ever studied Muslims in RE and never once studied her own religion; but when I asked her what religion she is, she said she didn’t know but proudly announced she doesn’t believe in God anyway.
So who are the first ones to complain about prejudice and discrimination against them? The same people who give it out to others.
Somehow it wasn’t surprising when the anti-Archbishop of Canterbury comments started to hit the news. But it also makes me wonder how accepting these people are of other groups.
