Toilets Toilets Toilets

I'm not quite sure, it is me? Is it because my classroom AC is on too strong? Does my face remind them of a toilet seat? Who knows!!

All I know is that the minute the boys enter my classroom, I am drowned with an endless flood of "Can I go to the bathroom? pleeeezzzzz teacher pleeeeeeeeeez" nags, and they are SO darn persistent. I mean, the nerve of that kid, after hearing me turn back 3 other bathroom-seeking kids barely half a second ago, asks me if he could please go to the bathroom, AND actually looks surprised when I say no!!

Today I had enough and snapped.

"OKAY LISTEN YOU ALL- What's up with all that bathroom stuff? You've got THREE recesses which is more than enough time to go to the bathroom again and again, I don't want you to keep skipping around and asking for a bathroom, get a grip, what are you like TEN?????"

*awkward pause*

The funny part is, they're not EVEN ten.

They are 9.

Oh well.

Speaking of bathrooms- today after school I went with the teachers to the annual PEAK conference; it's a two day event with lots of sessions given by teachers from bilingual and international schools to the rest of us teachers. Every year it takes place in a different school.

We got to the school and the building which had the two sessions I was attending today was the KG's department. It was a joy walking around the colorful corridors and checking out the cute classrooms! I couldn't get over how tiny everything was:)
In my first session we even sat on the KG chairs! Which is like, so not enough:P but cute nonetheless..

It was fine and dandy until I had to use the bathroom myself. I went in and took one look at the minute toilet seat and I was like "You GOTTA be kidding me".

They weren't.
