Having the right attitude myself...
If I have got out of bed on the wrong side, the class play me up even more. If my car wouldn't start that morning, child x is particularly horrid to me. If I didn't get my chocolate fix at break, the next lesson is the worst one of the day.
It's me isn't it?!
The last time I phoned a friend in the evening to have a good old vent about being sh*t on from a great height by one school, and she had had a similar sort of day, I realised I wasn't alone in my feelings, though I was kind of isolated as a supply teacher. We talked about what we should be doing with the kids, what we were expecting, some solutions to behaviour problems we were experiencing etc. and by the end of the call I was in an altogether better mood.
The next day, the kids were great...
It's not always the case, you can bounce around on a happy pogo stick for hours in some rooms and get no-where, but I must reach for that evening primrose oil more often!
