End of 503

Finding it incredibly difficult to find the time to write on the blog. Just so much going on. Sports day today and once again I had to babysit a class as teacher not present.

Have passed (just) second assignment therefore have passed the subject. A number of people upset at their results and vented spleen on forum. Have to agree that I had great difficulty reading my markers comments - disappointed but read again the next day and found most that I could read, made sense. However, I don't like single words followed by question marks. How am I supposed to respond to this? I did not find that sort of commentary useful to me. It would be better to pose a question and then supply suggested answers.

Do feel that although pass was just that, I am still learning much and hopefully the knowledge will stay with me. Heaven alone knows if positions will be made available in these parts. A number of schools have teachers as librarians and they are doing a good job but they are not qualified as TLs - even had one who, when I asked advice, said that she had started the Masters course but did not finish it. I wonder why I am bothering.

Am heading off to Batchelor Inst of Indigenous Ed for the next two weeks and then to Brisbane for the Study tour. Will be flat chat and little time to relax as well as prepare my next terms program. Oh well, I chose to do this.
