Being A Teacher

16 September 1994 - BEING A TEACHER
I'm almost back to normal. The only scars I bear are across my smouldering snap-snap.
I've been promised a job as a substitute teacher in a borstal. I'll be in charge of classes when the regular teacher collapses under the weight of his massive brown stetson.

The class continued its experiment into how cats work yesterday.
We asked three of our cats: "Do you like it here?" and: "Is it warm enough for you?"
To the other cat we said: "What lovely hair you've got" and: "We're scared of your eyes" and: "Retail".

For yesterday's PE class, I forced myself into a locker.
The boys' task was to squirt melted butter through the grille. It made a "pthh" sound as it cascaded into my socks.
I later paraded the socks before the PVR brigade. They're idiots!
24 September 1994 - BEING A TEACHER
The head of drama has been eaten by a pig! I've been asked to play oboe at his funeral - but I don't know how!
One of the boys, JD Harland, suggested I stuff the mouthpiece with seeds, so that when I blow - the seeds will grow!

I took the boys on a school trip to see how chocolate lighthouses are made.
One of the boys, Basil Nadir, fell into a bubbling vat of choc and came out looking like a cougar. The factory manager was so cross he blocked our path with a caramel friend.
28 September 1994 - BEING A TEACHER
It was my last day at the school today, and the boys played a couple of tricks on me.
One of the boys, Avril Turbines, did something to my register. When I opened it, a leaf shot out. Another boy, Johnny BAFTA, put a shaven raven into my open mouth. Another boy fired a gun at me.
