Quick Entry: Unfortunate Children


Swiveling on my chair, 10AM in the morning, waiting for my student to complete his differentiation of trigonometric functions, I chance upon a bundle of notices pinned up on the (rightful) teachers' noticeboard. The documents detail various medical conditions that particular students have and fuck me dead, I thought I had it bad (at one point I had some dermatitis condition on my face. Even though it has recovered to a degree, my face now looks like... my face). There are really some poor kids out there:
  • Student A: Allergic to peanut butter
  • Student B: Allergic to mosquitoes
  • Student C: Allergic to bee-stings
  • Student D: Leukemia
  • Student E: Severe eczema
  • Student F: Tourette syndrome
  • Student G: Allergic to sunlight
That last one must really suck.

Someone once told me: "You can always have it worse." It was the last thing I wanted to hear at the time.

Someone out there is saying: "Told you so."

FYI, I tutor kids at a primary school.

  3. crazy fucker started throwing shit around the classroom and continued his verbal abuse. His vocabulary now includes "bitchface", "willy" and "Ipod Clone" (I have no idea about this one). He threw a pencil and hit this girl in the face and then proceeded to try and convince me that it accidentally slipped out of his hand.
