Little Bastards

A student swore at me yesterday. A 13-year-old boy said 'Fuck you' to me. It is the first time I have had a student swear directly at me. I didn't actually think it would bother me that much, but I'm not used to having people swear at me and I don't swear often myself. It really upset me. I'm there to try and help them and you get that sort of treatment? It sucks. So basically this is just a big 'woe is me' post. I still enjoy teaching, but you shouldn't have to put up with that sort of treatment in the work place. AND I had a student say I could give them a hand job in response to me asking what they wanted to do at the end of a lesson. Little Bastards.

Anyway, have been to the pub and tomorrow is another day. :)
