sports

so we at clendon mason memorial secondary school [cmmss - a school in dennery (saint lucia)] had our annual sports meet...i can't exactly remember when but it just happened cause i am blogging about it...and well ms max spoke about the children making out...i did not see to much of that in my neck of the woods but maisay! not to rum the people had there!!!

sports seem to bring out the worse in students...so while my house was busy putting the licks on the other athletes, the other children who could have taken a more vested interest in sports even though they can't run but at least they could jeer were busy drinking campari and bounty!

so you would expect that the following day, there would be some repercussions...no the kids stayed home while the teachers at cmmss had professional development day where we were taught how to test children for reading...and then we got to test the form ones...this went on for two days....

the kids come back on monday thoroughly rested but with no party for the winning house...denver, the last dinosaur aka the school principal promised cakes and drinks but this man, for a man of his girth, can be easily swayed and may even 'forget' that the children deserve a party....save for the rum drinking incident which he may not even blink an eye against, the children behaved well at sports and we do want to promote healthy, well rounded children right?

speaking of which, did you see the fat people's 60 metre dash?

what will happen tomorrow dear readers: will teachers actually run a race for fun at the end of the events? will we have high jump and discus events next year? will the students actually get a chance during PE to train for sports so that all the injuries are averted? only tomorrow knows and i will be blogging as long as there are tomorrows...

you know you love me!

Peekaboo?

My school had Sports Day this week gone, and despite my purposeful lack of participation in the whole "house" and "marching" scene, I really enjoyed the day. In retrospect, I see now that the reason I did, was because of the time I got to spend with students that I have never interacted with - because I don't teach them.

While preparing hot dogs and basically babying them for the day, I grew to love some of these kids even more. And well some of them...let's just say...I tryin to not knock out de people chirren. We talked and laughed and it was relaxing to be able to "lime" with the students and not have to be monitoring them 24/7.

But alas, the joy was short lived as the SLACKERS tried to find various nooks and crannies within the stadium to make out. lol. Thinking about it now, it is a little funny to me. I try to think back to my first "in school, sports day" kiss...we sneaked to the back of the school and I received one of the worst kisses of my life! lol I cannot remember having such a terrible one after that. The spit, the teeth, the hot dogs....bleh! Anyways, I eventually ended up on patrol again, prowling the dressing rooms, catching students - faces red - genitals engorged- making out.

Eventually I was like...ugh..forget that...they eh brushin. lol lol Don't tell the other "good" teachers I said that! lol Imagine I even caught the SAME pair of students - "Sunny and Son" - TWICE! And I said to Sunny - "Little girl, you KNOW your father will kill yuh backside. Yuh think a kiss and feel up from Sun worth the coffin?"

Trinidad's MOE had a big hullabaloo bout student's coming to school on Ash Wednesday - how they gonna come if their parents tired from feting and jumpin in de street? Who goin an pack lunch kit?? What a joke. I was MOST present, spent the day organising for next week, when I know my students will be in school.
