decorum

being a teacher can be so easy, if all you had to do was to teach. just go into the classroom, teach what you need to teach; don't care if the class is noisy, let those who want to listen ask the class to shut up; don't care if the class wants to hand in work, just mark for those who bother to hand in; don't bother checking if they are doing well, let them come to you if they have queries.

but no, you have to do so much more than teach, which probably explains why the pimples are returning.

but today i'm ahead of time. marked scripts non-stop for three hours, and now i'm waiting for the time to go out for lunch and then go home. in the meantime, the pantry has stock of some very nice commercial biscuits. 'commercial' as in khong guan, as in fake butter, additives, preservatives... but so very delicious i think it's a sin to be eating them one packet after another.
