This week my partner in crime, GS Mahlangu (she is in the turquoise top and leather jacket), the only other physical science teacher at King Makhosonke, left for a promotional Head of Department position at another school. Everyone was very sad to see her go , but excited for her new opportunity. She was quite the life of the party in the staff room, and she will be missed, but she has promised to visit. With her promotion, I inherited two of her grade 12 matric classes. This is heavy duty pressure, let me tell ya. I am glad to take them on though; I had been thinking of helping out with them more anyway. However, this is going to be A LOT of work in August and September, after that it is basically just exams. Here is my headcount of learners: Grade 10 (A,B,C) 135 learners, Grade 11 (A) 75, and now Grade 12 (A,B) 75; for a grand total of approximately 280 learners! Let me just say I look forward to teaching, but not to marking (grading).
