Back to school.

After one week of lessons I can tell you the following:
I'm enjoying the three advanced classes I'm teaching - think high school/sixth form and I'm very diligent about planning these lessons. It's scary. I'm winging it with some of my other courses...
My form is currently being tyrannized by a bunch of teenage girls who are disruptive and disrespectful to the max. Maintaining orderly lessons is a challenge and we've decided to invite several of their parents to school. They weren't angels before but came back from the holidays like proper devils and have been hellish since. I'm just sad that the rest of my form doesn't get the positive attention they deserve and it's all about a small minority.
I ended up with one Very Important Job that I actually deep down do want to be doing but I'm worried that I'll be too disorganized to be successful. Also, there was this moment when I said that I didn't want to do this on my own, could someone else please join? And then one of the few persons that I really find difficult to work with raised her hand and said "Yep, I'll do it". In hindsight I should have found a partner beforehand, but I'd hoped that someone else would do the job....
In summary:
Give me strength.
