On Saturday, I thought about switching to primary teaching. On Sunday, a customer comes in with her kids, the older one annoying the younger one. The mum tells the older kid to pick his favourite item in a particular aisle of the shop, and he does but then goes back to annoying his brother. So I went around with this kid and we picked out different colours and numbers. The mum tells me she's a primary teacher and that I should do primary.
I will miss teaching science a bit. I explained a bit about stomach acid to a kid today and his face lit up, and also saw a prac simulating digestion, with food turning into crap, and students got to "shit out" the food by cutting a hole at the end of a plastic bag and squeezing the digested food out.
But I think primary is where I'm headed :)
