I guess the thing that I will always remember about my first teaching experiences will be catching the boys lighting off fireworks in the bathroom. It was 3:30 on Friday and I was just going to use the staff washroom before I left. There was a commotion in the boys room (they say "toilet" in England) as I walked past so I peaked in. It seemed fine, just some kids fooling around with each other. But, just as I was putting the key in to the lock for the staff room I heard the firework go off.It was one of those ones that makes a fizzing sound and sprays out different coloured flames. "Bummer," I thought. I coral ed up a bunch of teenage boys and marched them off to the authorities without further problems.
I realize that this doesn't have much to do with education or teaching, but it is what I will always remember.
