Evil Teacher

I have this thing going with all my classes - I'm an evil teacher; I give them homework and I expect them to do it, I give them work to do in class and I expect them to do it, I don't often use songs and videos even less (I don't see the point - most songs are badly written and if you put a video on, the students' brains switch off), I've little patience for excuses and none at all for whining.

The thing is, in reality, I'm quite easy going. Especially with adults, after all it's their money and if they want to waste the opportunity, it's their choice (which is why I don't make the most of my Spanish classes).

However, I might have overstepped the mark yesterday.

It was (as I've said before) hot and humid but as it is only the very beginning of summer I assumed it would get much worse. So when my students started complaining about how hot it was and how much they needed the fan on (the air-conditioning wasn't working, thank god - I hate air-conditioning, bad, nasty, nasty, bad) I told them to stop whining. I told them to get on with the work, I told them it was going to get a lot worse before it got better and that if I could put up with it, so could they.

What I didn't know what that yesterday was the hottest day in BsAs for 70 years.

Ummm, sorry?
