I took it because I was curious and needed the money, the Head seemed happy to see me and not bothered with the fact that I have no experience.
(not confirmed but apparently the regular teach's either in the middle of a nervous breakdown or cancer)
Okay so they gave me two Y7(6thGr) and two Y9(8thGr)... started with the 6th graders this morning, and even though they weren't the most tame you could imagine - had to hush-shush'em every 10~15 minutes or so, we're in 2016 after all - they were still manageable and we could get to the end of that poetry bit.
Ended the day with another 6thGr class whow were all just adorable and asked me to become a 'resident' for good. Yeah kids can be cute. <3
The problem ? The two 8thGr classes I had in between ... ... ...

HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT.
I mean; I've been to school and experienced 'difficult' classes, I even dare say when I was their age I sometimes contributed to the commotion or disruption.
Society more or less knows how troublesome teenagers can be before they only have sex on their minds (and usually settle by turning emo).
Just to confirm; we're talking about 13~14 year olds here, I've been one, I've seen and heard them, that was during the 90's. Okay.
But the ones I've had in front of me today ? Never seen any like those. A bunch of psychopaths. Apparently with zero respect neither for age, status, condition (most of them mocked the class's only handicapped kid), or role and authority.
Without the slightest fear of punishment apparently, they did everything they could to disrupt the class, asking twenty times the exact same question "Sir I dropped my pen can I pick it up?", requesting trips to the infirmary every 5 minutes, shouting, throwing pens/erasers/shit, hitting the desks loud and hard, etc etc.
Even just proposing a reply to one of my questions was an opportunity to tell shit and make the whole class laugh like hyenas on cocaine.
Aside fom a small silent group sitting together in the bottom, most of the class joined forces to anihilate the session (well: both sessions, like the first gave the others word), most of that highly disruptive pack with an incredibly perverse smirk on their faces.
The little silent group came to me later to say they were sorry about the class, and they looked sincere.
But seriously, even though as I said I've experienced kind of difficult classes in my teens/90's, I've never even once whistood such level of disrespect and nofuckstogiveness about anything in the fucking World, as this time.
I used to think kids of my generation were not serious and respectful enough, and we kind of deserved some of the trouble we've found ourselves in later, but this, is telling me the current generation means there's no fucking hope for the future of our world.
The worst classes of my time had 2~3 disruptors, current have 3~5 actual pupils, the rest are all unattended patients in an asylum.
Anyway it's only for a week, I don't give a crap after that, I will never do it again.
But be afraid. be very afraid of these kids.
I understand why some of them, even with no ties to religion and not even ethnic, end up joining ISIS and get themselves killed in Syria: because it's almost in their DNA, they are the humans our current western society, at least in France since this is where I'm experiencing this madness, managed to raise.
Raised more and more by jobless or shite-job victim parents, only having the torrents of despair and hatred from the internet as a reference (which was very obvious just listening to them) it's understandable they don't give a fuck, nobody will kick their asses nor let'em have only bread and water for days.
Nobody.
Oh I almost forgot: you thinking that middle school's located in a shitty suburb of something ?
Nope...a cosy little suburbia French village, where you'll find as many doctor's or manager's kids, as you will ex-convicts's or alcoholics.
What a shit day in a shit era.

Any happy teachers around ?
