Day 476: Girls Will Be...Girls?

I teach Science to 1S-4 every Tuesday and Thursday, and it's always an interesting class. With 11 of the 12 students being girls (poor Peter, the only boy in that class!) I can always count on some drama to occur in pretty much every lesson. Despite being only seven years old, the girls in that class can be awfully catty to each other sometimes. Some days they get so nasty to each other it's like teaching in the 'Mean Girls' class!

Well we sure weren't short of drama today! A few minutes into class Lina and Yuna were fighting with each other...again. They're best friends but tend to bicker at each other more often than not. Yuna's fairly manipulative and snotty some days, and Lina's over-sensitive and clingy, so you can imagine how that combination works out. So there was some tiff and Yuna was pouting and pissy while Lina was bawling her eyes out. Fuck...I hate dating with this sorta drama.

Only a few minutes later they were the best of friends again. That's much better! Half the class goes by and all the kids are busy working on a weather sheet I gave them. Suddenly I hear some giggling and squealing coming down from their end of the table. I look over to see Yuna and Lina....kissing each other!!! They were totally lip-locked and having a...gay old time...

OH DEAR GOD THAT IS JUST SO WRONG!

Now young kids kiss each other now and then for sure, but not like *this!* I told them to stop cause at this point most of the class was watching the show now and they seemed to enjoy the audience. They took a break but a few minutes later were back at it again. That's enough girls! Do I need to turn the hose on you? Girls are crazy, I tell ya!

Oh man, handling this sorta stuff was SO NOT in the POLY Teacher's Training Manual!
