Today I am mildly annoyed!

Having spent a lot of time over the past couple of weeks repairing the storm damage to the rose arch in my back garden. This morning I look out and see that the high winds are back and trying their best to wreck my rose arch again!!!

I hate wind.  I live in earthquake country but around here high winds have by far done more damage over the years than earthquakes.  It also makes driving dangerous, redistributes things like patio furniture and trash cans around the neighborhood, and dumps debris in the pool.

Sleepy....Zzzzzzz

Today is St.George's Day, so I'm looking forward to going along to the celebrations in our local High Street which will be closed to traffic and filled with stalls, sideshows, fairground rides for children, live music and of course the St.George's Day parade of local marching bands, floats and walkers from local clubs and vintage vehicles. The weather is bright and sunny so it should be a good afternoon out.

Tired

Pretty rough trying to get the last couple of hundred words into this essay and proceeding to procrastinate, I just want summer so bad.

While going to school I nearly slept, while in class in nearly slept and when I got out of school I nearly slept… guess I’m a little bit tired.

Sleeping in school is a right of passage lol, some of the best naps I ever took were at a desk

When I was at school sleeping at your desk would get you into serious trouble and usually meant being sent to the headmaster's study. One of my teachers threw things at sleepers, usually whatever he had to hand, and his aim was deadly accurate! 

Sleeping anywhere else in the school was very high risk because the school bullies would do nasty things to you, or your stuff, or both, while you were sleeping.

[AlwaysSearching]

@AnimedragonDamn I guess that's the difference in our schools then, I went to a run-of-the-mill High School in the middle of the 2010s. Saw people sleeping all the time, not every day but often enough that it wasn't ever surprising.

The general understanding was that if you were asleep, that's your choice. They aren't gonna stop class for a kid that clearly decided they dont really care, they can just miss out. Not every teacher thought this way but enough of them did that I never got in any real trouble for it.

This education system ain't shit anyway, I got good grades in school despite always being sleepy and taking naps. Most of the teachers are no good at passing their knowledge onto their students so missing the actual lessons didn't usually produce much difference unless it was like, Algebra.

I was in school during the 1960's and I guess things have changed a bit since then.

Actually my old school wasn't a bad school, it just wasn't a very good one. Very few of the teachers were any good a passing on their knowledge.

That seem scary . My french teacher is also like that and she would always aim to scare or make fun out of them by some way or another. Just so you know what type of person she is she said: The laws doesn't permit me to hit you sadly... .

[Hällregn]

Good but a little exhausted. I'm doing three art projects for my channel and building an end table for the sitting room.

It was a bit scary, but it kept everyone in line. While I agree with banning the use of the cane I think the problem is that there was no suitable and effective replacement. A couple of my friends used to be teachers and said that without any effective form of punishment for wrongdoing the unruly students just looked at them and said "so what are you going to do about it?" knowing full well that there wasn't much the teacher could do.

[AlwaysSearching]

@AnimedragonIdk man, I think it says a lot about the teachers if physical harm is all they can think of to effectively punish students. Not to mention how many kids just come from bad homes and only act out because they lost the "Parent Lottery", getting smacked around at school isn't gonna make them better people.

Physical punishment is just a detterant, it doesn't usually teach any lessons besides "it hurts to get hit by a thing".

[Animedragon]

The whole discipline thing is a complex issue with so many variables; home environment, parents, peer groups etc. I don't think anyone has really come up with an effective way of both punishing people and teaching them to be a better member of society.

I've been smacked in the hand with a folder of books once in school (2017) for falling asleep but yeah I gotta agree, some of the best naps were in school especially in my last two years, so exhausted all the time! 

Anyway, feeling pretty good today.
