teeny tiny terrors (should grow the hell up)

So recently I've been going up to main school to talk to some of the teachers there (various endeavours require student-teacher conversations, it's unfortunate). Anyway, I've heard tiny tiny children (the year sevens, they'd be cute if they weren't so vicious and rude) yelling all manner of insults at each other. What is this? Why do young people not know how to argue properly any more? It's truly ridiculous, nobody ever seems to sit down and calmly talk through anything, instead it's all yelling and throwinf various things- insults, punches, chairs, and so on.

This miniscule scrap of a kid the other day yelled the words "Oi, get off me bruv, you gayboy!" I fail to see why being gay is a bad thing, something to be used as an insult, and as for all this "bruv" business, you merely sound like you can't pronounce the word broth properly. Year sevens, in short, are idiots. Anybody who can run into me at top speed (not that fast, they only have short legs, remember) and bounce off my chiseled abs (ha!) without so much as a sorry... Deserves to be shot. In the kneecaps. Hopefully with some sort of gun that sports exploding bullets, or something.

So yes, a note to the year sevens: Go away. You are deceptively small, fast, and apart from being completely cuturally unaware ("What you doing man?! That's so gay! Oi battyboy! Fuck you!"), you are ruining our precious language. You are also required to not get in the goddamn way. I have to say please more than twice and your name goes in the black book, you little bastards. I don't care that your mummy thinks you're special. Learn something. Read a book, "y'all". If you can't read, then it's no problem, not for me anyway, because then you can't read my insults. Har har har. LEARN TO READ. Learn some respect. Then, keep to yourselves. Wow.

happy reading folks!

You know what really grinds my gears?

We've been back at school for two weeks now. I have to say, though there's a lot of work, it's enjoyable. There's a sense of routine and accountability that you completely don't have in the holidays. I think that, considering this will be my fourteenth consecutive year in full-time education, I'm starting to feel lost when I'm not learning, when I'm not in the classroom.

That being said, there are some things that really grind my gears about being back at school. Such as, you're able to see your friends on a regular basis (obviously not 100% good from a work point of view), but there are people at school who... Well, frankly, whom I would have killed a long time ago, if I knew I'd never be found out. Having observed the workings of a school system from both sides (I have done quite a few teaching placements with different year groups), it's perfectly fair to say that students are total cocks. We seem to endlessly insist that thigns for us are done first. We always want our way. We don't take no for an answer. We bug and bug and bug.

The main problem area I've come across this year is the student who asks stupid, blatent questions to which there are obvious answers, and then goes berserk if the answer given is not to that student's liking. There is a fine line between annoying banter, dear student, and behaviour which will seriously endanger your life. I wish someone could have taught you your grammar better as well. I never want to hear the words "you was" come out of your mouth ever EVER again. God, you'd think you hadn't been listening all the way through primary school.

I'm hoping you've all heard of socialisation. If not (tut, tut) then the quick explanation is that socialisation is the process through which an individual learns how to fit into society and live within the boundaries of that society's norms and values. Your parents are responsible for your primary socialisation- that is, they socialise you to talk and not to (putting it bluntly) do such things as piss on others. Anyway, I stray from the point.

My point is, there seem to be students in the sixth form who simply were not socialised by parents or school or society. They stand out. They are notorious, famous, popular because they are interesting, intereting because they do stupid things that others find funny. These students have bad attitudes.

I don't mind it if you don't want to work, but please don't stop me. I really need good grades. All I want to do is work, ice skate, and write my blog (and somewhere in between some food and rest, those are good too). So yeah. That really grinds my gears. We have a fine educational system, for free, and these kids are wasting it. I wish they wouldn't.

On a lighter note, there have been no more gigantic spiders in my room! YAYS! Though now I've said that, the chances are there'll be a King Spidey moment in a day or two. I've run out of energy; goodnight!

Happy reading, folks!
