Have been pondering the merits of BETT this year. I’ve been the last two years running and I always make the same mistake of thinking it’s going to be a  rather handy day away from school, doing something different, reflecting on my ‘craft’, drinking in the atmosphere, and that I will return inspired and ready for battle with new endeavours to motivate the preying hoards.

And then I still seem to spend the entire day on my feet, dodging other teachers, talking endlessly about my subject, and being run over by packs of schoolkids. Which means I end up concluding I should have stayed in school in the first place, where it was warm (ish) and I had my own ‘I know best’ mug to drink strong, delicious tea out of, rather than several cardboard cups filled with brown scalding water.

So you see; I am still pondering the merits of BETT. If someone has some wise words, do send them my way.
