Cheltenham and back / Teachers who don't want people to learn

Not quite the races, actually more of a long haul. That's now two weekends in a row I've missed church. Still, the journey was OK in both directions. It's a LOT of driving for one day, and the road is full of the usual IDIOTS, whenever you travel. That accounted for my Sunday. So Liz is back at university and there are just a few months before she's home for good. Good luck (luck? - it's supposed to be effort - revision and so on) for the exams, and work hard on the dissertation. That's two weekends in a row I've missed church, can't remember when or even if I've been that absent! Wonder what I missed, and how long it will take me to catch up. Monday was a day working @ home. Something I'm coming to like less and less - because it means that I have meetings at strange hours and the day is 'lost'. Anyway, I got the newsletters out for Karen - AT LAST. Teachers who don't want people to learn - when they themselves want to. Does that sound stupid? - Welcome to Billericay school - they've scored an own goal again! So Mike won't benefit from the Maths day, and can't possibly get his 'C'. Teachers - please try to be encouraging, even if YOU don't believe it's possible, DON'T write people off so easily.
