"Rab C Nesbitt, Glasgow's most lovable drunk and self-confessed "scum", has returned to the small screen. But he's given up the sauce, has a granddaughter called Peaches and his long-suffering wife Mary is a "mumtrepreneur" (whatever that is). What's the point? You might as well make him a lentil-wolfing Green activist with a Facebook site."

'In this country,' Prince Edward railed in Majesty magazine, 'we're always looking down, looking in, trying to belittle ourselves. All this constant thing about class, for instance, which is the worst thing in the world Marx ever invented.'

Jackie Eadie, Head of Foundation at Bellerbys College Oxford comes into my classroom holding a bottle of a particular dark-coloured carbonated soft drink and I offer her a seat, she says she would like a seat but not the seat I offer her she would in fact prefer a toilet seat - too much coke you understand! Too much information as well, she says. It takes a beat for me to digest the duality of she might need to use the privacy and friction free smooth surface of a toilet seat to consume cocaine or if she is broadcasting to a classroom full of students that she is in urgent need of relief after drinking too much Coca-Cola.

So, like being at work when it's very quiet and not disliking your job but thinking like there are other things I could be doing - balanced with the though that if you're at work you can't be doing anything wrong because of the importance of it hammered in by my parents. I appreciate the merit of hard work in itself, but the point I'm trying to make is about sense of priority being skewed.

So, recently when I come into school for the first lesson my shirt will be untucked. This is because I've not had a chance to undo my belt and tuck my shirt in by this point because I've not had a chance to shit, this has to wait until breaktime as we don't have any toilet paper in Nowell Road. Today and tomorrow the government are looking round the school.

Taking adolescent rubbish and my 23rd Birthday presents out of here, put everything into the how would you like to be a cowboy for a day bag that Sydney gave me when I left London - still inside the presents of I ♥ London stationary, the Indie scarf from Prick Lane and a condom wrapper presumably from the condom I used to shag her. For someone who doesn't ever wear Indie scarves I own a concerning number of these. I think my cousins in Spain sent me one though I can't be sure, tell me livejournal readers how can one tell the difference between the different purpose designs between different pieces of coloured fabric?

Weird transvestite moment just now, arrive home as all housemates + Mark Brus are leaving in a taxi because Mamadou has hurt his hand, my bike with a transparent bag of skipped food on the front carrier. I fix myself an Eat. sandwich in the microwave (Eat. have started to split their food to make it inedible) and sit down to channel filth. I'm wearing a golden dress eating this sandwich have this realisation.

No sooner do I post a livejournal entry about it, my department holds a meeting about summer term 2. Summer term 2 is 9 weeks long, the last week of it is compulsary to mark papers. However, the other 8 weeks are optional in that I can work for the first four weeks, the last four weeks, all eight weeks or none of that time. I could have 12 weeks off in the summer if I desired.

[10 Jan 2011|11:51am] |
My first day back at Bellerbys and I have a hole in the back of my right sock, anyone looking might think I'm not wearing socks at all!
"Also, this new trend where everyone refuses to wear socks makes me want to puke. Hey swamp-foot, how about putting some socks on? I know that has nothing to do with anything, but I haven't updated in a while and I'm not writing a whole new article about you hipster idiots who wear Toms and loafers without socks. That's it. I haven't slept in 2 days and now I'm going to make a pizza, and it sure as shit won't be epic." - Maddox 16/11/10

Yesterday in Steve Antoniou's GCSE English lesson (period 5 room 0.10) the viral marketing method used by Hasbro to sell P-O-X was being discussed and the situation where young boys are in a room being asked questions about P-O-X while marketing researchers sat behind a screen of one-way glass to observe their reactions. Steve writes the words 'covert' and 'undercover' on the whiteboard and asks the class if they can think of a proffession which requires the individual to be covert and undercover. He starts off the word S P ... and one eastern European student calls out "Spetsnaz". For those of you who don't know what that is (which has been everyone I've told the anicdote to so far) the spetsnaz were the Internal Troops of Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs and were commanded by military intelligence.

After 1971, party documents became more insistent in their class analyses of Cambodian society. They stressed that cadre must be drawn from poor peasant, lower middle-class peasant and worker backgrounds - "from deep down in [rural] areas," as one document suggested, "extracted from the earth like diamonds."

When I ask my contemporaries why the Soviet Union collapsed, depending on their disciplines they cite very different reasons. Economists blame the increase in the world price of oil, sociologists cite the war in Afghanistan and politicians say there is a fault with communism as a whole, humans don't like each other so don't like being cohesive.

"White working class pupils:
- are the largest underachieving ethnic group across the country
- fall behind from the early years
- suffer from some of the worst levels of attendance and exclusion
- are more likely to be Neets (not in education, employment or training) than other ethnic groups
- tend to have the lowest aspirations
- often attend schools that face additional cost pressures
- tend not to be included in discussions on diversity and identity
- lose out on some opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities, missing their educational and general benefits."

A delegation from the British Legion met Adolf Hitler in July 1935, recently uncovered photographs show.
"The archives show that they viewed solitary confinement cells. At the time Jews were already being imprisoned there - 'returned emigrant Jews under observation' say the Legion records, along with the 'workshy', 'professionally criminal' and 'moral perverts'."

So matey, in the last month when you were paid £582.89 you spent £289.78 of it, leaving £293.11.
£1,257.70 - £320 - £500 = £437.70
£437.70/ 4 = £109.43
£289.78 / 4 = £72.45

It's interesting being a teacher, I notice things about myself which are different in this setting. When students are talking openly about their social activities with each other I don't get that usual pain of hearing about people socialising without me, even though we are of a very similar age (I have much more in common in age with my students than with my colleagues).

Smartness
Our dress code is ‘smart casual’. This should be interpreted as ‘smart’ if you are under 30 years old! Our students generally come from very traditional backgrounds and find it unprofessional and even shocking if teaching staff are wearing trainers, sneakers etc it they have unkempt hair and look generally scruffy. I tell students with hair in their eyes that teaching and learning is all about communication and we need to see their eyes. Please be aware of how you will be perceived by these ‘old fashioned’ students.
There have also been complaints this term about ‘smelly teachers’. Please be aware that you are expected to shower and change your clothes regularly and use deodorant products. It must be pretty unpleasant for these students if they are driven to complaining!
