“My Sources Say No”

This post was titled by my new magic eight ball app.

Sometimes pupils are late, or don’t show up for their lesson. Here is what I do when this happens:

• Have a nice lie-down until about 10 minutes past lesson time
• Do some directed activities for five minutes
• Look out the window at the squirrels
• Call the pupil and leave a message asking if I’ve made a scheduling error and/or if they’d like to reschedule
• Download useful apps for my smart phone, like the magic eight ball app (My first question was, “Will it ever stop raining?” Answer: “Signs point to yes.” Hooray!)
• Squander the rest of the lesson time by blogging about apps and squirrels.
• Make tea

“Was this a useless blog post?”

Answer: “It is certain.”
