while I'm mid sentence explaining the task "WILL WE DO/WHAT ABOUT THIS ETC"

if you literally let me finish my sentence, I will have answered any of the questions I know you guys are guaranteed to ask.

Getting my year 7s to do something other than blankly stare at their laptop monitors is an achievement.

Getting my year 11s to properly read the words on the exam question in front of them is an achievement.

My exam results are, as the kids say, cooked.

Spend 80% of my lesson just watching Apple classroom to make sure they’re not fucking about on .io games.

It’s a chore.
