Posted December 24, 2010 From my class, I received: - An Animal t-shirt from one of the girls! (fuck yeah!) - 2 pairs of Animal socks (I see a theme here. Well done, I r proud little humans) - A mug/cup which said "best teacher in the world" - a stationery set! - a little guitar that plays automated musicings - a box of cookies that came in a wallace and gromit tin! - about...12 or so boxes of chocolates. I was talking to one of my old primary school teachers (male) recently about what he was getting for Christmas and he said he always felt embarrassed coming out at the end of the day with loads of bottles of wine etc when the female teachers got things like soaps/smells etc. I'm pretty gutted, as a swimming teacher (who I make sure all the parents love me near Christmas) I generally do quite well for presents from the kids. Last year I got a few bottles of wine, case of beer and lots of chocolate. However, because of the weather the pool has been closed because of frozen pipes and I haven't seen any kids in ages for them to give me presents! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The shape of my sisters present gives it away, shes got me a poster. No idea what's on it. Most likely a Paramore one, since that's what i asked for. And some monies.
