Redtape High School has been all about the ‘green agenda’ for a couple of years now, and I’m quite frankly sick of it. Well, i’m not sick of it, but I object heavily to having to take my pupils out of their lesson this morning to clear up the ‘recycling’ which has blown all over the school grounds because of this hideous weather. Ordinarily I wouldn’t mind the excuse to enjoy a quick cigarette and coffee while watching my pupils trawl about in the wind picking up litter, it’s like some sort of mini community service (which I reckon is a great idea) but they’ve got mock exams coming up and we were finally making some progress with romantic poetry – a feat of genius when dealing with a load of oversexed teenagers who couldn’t usually care less about what Keats thought about nightingales or Grecian urns.
