Oh boy, do I detest days at the school 20 minutes away from my house. Today was grade 5, with the second most awful bunch of kids I've ever taught. The big problem in this class was rampant bullying - the names! I ran a short anti-bullying session at the end of the day, but when you miss almost 2 hours of the day with swimming, and it's not your class . . .

Can I ask the people of my friends list a question. I really hate it when the children refer to things as being 'gay', and when they use the words 'gay' and 'lesbian' as insults. I've stopped classes a few times to address this, but I've never quite been able to articulate myself properly, in a way that children (usually age 9-12) can understand/appreciate

Help!

(I should clarify - not!Ainsley thinks that it's fine for children to use. She wouldn't use it herself.)
