Helen<p>A moment of teaching insanity today - which I did contribute to, fair enough. A Yr11 guessed exactly the poem and question on their Lit Paper 1 - so I bought them a bag of onions as a prize ("I give you an onion" Valentine, Carol Ann Duffy). Another student then proceeded to eat a raw onion, just because. It was a spicy one. Tears and retching ensued. The rest of the day: "It smells of onions in here, Ms". <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Teaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Teaching</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Education</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SecondarySchool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SecondarySchool</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/CarolAnnDuffy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CarolAnnDuffy</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Poetry</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Poem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Poem</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Onions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Onions</span></a></p>
