Day 45 - A Blast from the Past

I was going through old emails so that I could delete the ones that were clogging up my mailbox, which Office assured me was about to self-destruct, and I came across a copy of an email I had sent to a member of the Pastoral Care team to explain why I needed to give more detail regarding a pupil's behaviour during one of my lessons. The email transcribed the majority of what this pupil delivered in the form of verbal diarrhhoea and reminded me that I have been dealing more with this sort of thing for 3 years now.

Transcription follows:

*Kyleeigh:    Miss. Miss. Miss. Miss. Miss. Does he look familiar?
