The things kids say...

I suppose one of the perks of my job, working with teenagers and all that, is listening to some of the things they say and reading the things they write.

Today I set my year 9s a task to write a persuasive speech, persuading people to get fit and go to the gym.

As I was walking around, in my current bad mood, I looked over the shoulder of the naughtiest boys in the class and his work read: 'Why not get to the gym if you are abeast?'

That one small, oblivious comment just lightened my entire day and I must admit it even made a sight grin appear on my face!
