Jeni - I hope you only teach kids of five years to 12 years of age. Because after that age, it is dynamite being a teacher.
Mind you, teaching kids in NZ seems a lot less stressful than what generally can occur in the USA. I know well the schools my three kids have been through and it is relatively a piece of cake for teachers in dealing with what we call here primary and intermediate levels of students. It is at the college stage where all kinds of headaches arise. But our problem students are just a pin prick compared with the USA and some other countries. Fortunately my children have gone to middle class schools - private schools - apart from my youngest who has been going to a public school ever since we shifted to another suburb nearly four years ago - but even that school sets high standards and is Christian-based.
Taylor, my Pem has been made very welcome at all the schools he has regularly appeared at. And at the Silverstream school that my youngest son attends, as I have intimated often enough on Go Corgi, a high proportion of the school kids and teachers knows him by name and when we arrive on the premises, he gets greeted from all angles. And let me tell you the school rules are: no dogs allowed on the school grounds. But Taylor is not a dog - he's a Corgi.
