Slightly concerned.
I'm not a teacher though I kind of am. I'm given a couple of handful of kids each year to try and improve their, let's face it, grades first and behaviour second. I got the job because of some success that was noted in the past. I have my own methods. Those who know me from here can guess my methods aren't traditional.
Today I was being praised for helping raise the grades of half a dozen kids. When the praise was over I continued with my work, talking to a couple of 'difficult' kids. I only get the 'difficult' kids. Part of what I do is straight no bullshit talking. And yes, I swear with the year 11s. I also talk politics when appropriate, its part of my curriculum, a big part. But I don't talk liberal shit. Basically, one minute I'm being praised by someone, the next minute another teacher appears out of nowhere (from behind, probably 'spying' on me) and starts talking about my inappropriate behaviour. I have no idea what he heard. I do know I was trying to feed a right-wing breitbart student some different ideas that involved vigorous discussions on the nature of anarchy and non-pacifism. It's the first time I've been pulled up on this. Basically the kids told him they were fine and we often speak like this. He wasn't that convinced. If he reports what I said I could be in deep shit. I wish I knew exactly what he heard. Fucking right-wing engineering teacher who shouldn't have been there in the first place. I have to wait and see. Bollocks, shit, fuck.
