I'm a 'supply' teacher in primary schools when I'm working - and according to some of the little dears that doesn't make me a PROPER!! teacher. However I'm a human being (?) for the rest of the time, including weekends, evenings and holidays.

The stress of bouncing between classes (anything from 3 year olds to 11 year olds in the space of half a day)can get to you even though you miss out on as much of the crappy paperwork.

The Badger escaped teaching about 7 years ago and has NO desire to return to his secondary pupils.
