So... I'm still angry about my students' behaviour, but it's a cold anger now. The Vesuvius has mutated.
Today was interesting.
As I informed today's batch of students that discipline wasn't "just" a word in the dictionary and that everything in my own rules (they got a copy of them at the start of the semester) would be enforced, a few of them looked profoundly lost (one still hasn't understood what's going on - yes, people, it's that bad).
One pointed out that she didn't want to imagine what the others had done to annoy me so much, and another one told me that in years, he'd never seen me be that angry and the situation was quite a surprise.
Ah!
Apparently, they're more used to my quiet, kind and peaceful side, but a dose of Mrs Hyde can't hurt them (not the good, obedient ones, at least. The others.......... *cough*).

nope still am not going to tell you to calm down, you bite my dear!
we do no favours to children if they learn that no means oh go on then, and how many will not get or lose jobs because they don't follow rules! if you didn't follow rules the place would sack you! so why shouldn't they!
(climbs quietly down off her soap box again)
*hugs* Thank you, sweetie! *more hugs*
Hey! I've got the same box! ;)
Between their head teachers who tell them that the language courses are useless, the admins who treat them like buddies, and most (not all, thank Merlin!) of my colleagues who don't want to be too harsh, I'll traumatize them - but I don't care... and they need to start using their three brain cells!
