With Foster’s observation about the kids Joshua couldn’t not agree and sighed a little as he did so tiredly. "I know, the kids aren’t exactly subtle with their views about the newest added rules of our Headmaster." He paused a moment to reflect on some of the last weeks lessons. "You could say that the lessons off late have become quite interesting and unpredictable plant discussed not counted, what with the latest new rules of contraband items such as homemade food, jewlerry and prank items and having to stand before class starts.
Just after lunch today i had to deduct points and assign detentions to two boy’s that thought it fun to unleash a package of fillibuster fireworks in the greenhouse." It had been a bad mess and the damage to the poor bouncing bulbs had put them in Joshua’s personal sick bay for plants in his office. He had not been amused and he was still angry.
Joshua nodded with a small smile at Foster. "This is my first full time teaching job and I’d be lying if i said i had predicted that some rules for the students benefit and safety would get such reactions. I can’t wait for the break either." A break where they could be happy, laugh and not worry about point taking.
Foster had to stifle another laugh over the fireworks. It was the kind of prank kids should be making, although a different location would have been preferable. It was one thing to have some fun and quite another to destroy property in the process.
"There are some rules I'm better able to stand behind over others. I'm sorry to hear about the mess caused." He thought about how he would feel if something similar happened in his meditation room and shuddered. Not that he had plants to keep alive, but the thought of the expense to replace his teas and tea sets made his stomach turn.
He hadn't realized it was his very first teaching position. Yet another bit of information that had been left out due to the unfortunate events at the start of term feast.
"The first year is always the hardest." He took a breath
"Especially a first year like this one." Foster, thankfully, had many years of teaching under his belt, some far more stressful than others. However, the current year was proving to be one of the worst in his book.
"Do you have plans for the holiday?"
