SUMMER IS THE SILLY SEASON PAR EXCELLENCE. As we have Random Acts of Kindness we also have the syndrome analysed by Sigmund Freud in Dreams and the Unconscious called GOING TO DO SOMETHING A BIT SILLY.It is no good pretending that this syndrome is rare.In fact, we know many students and even teachers affected by it. We are going to do a little bit of soul searching and reflect in writing the activities we have done which could be categorised as part of the G.T.D.S.B.S. syndrome.Remember the Guinness World Records Book is full of these deeds: from the smallest pair of swimming trunks to the most amount of cheese or eggs eaten/beer drunk in an hour...
There is a time for everything Boys will be boys and girls will be girls wherever,whenever,,,
Being mischievous or naughty is just a natural part of growing up to combat boredom and monotony at school ....
Coming to school drunk after partying all night long.
Playing football with your sandwiches.
Throwing your sandwiches over the school wall and hitting pedestrians.
Smoking cannabis in the school restrooms.
Cheating at exams countless times.
Using the Bible to make paper aeroplanes.
Drinking and riding and doing wheelies.
Making the teacher/ your parents believe an outright lie.
Getting a piercing or a tattoo you´ll eventually regret.
Phoning school to say there´s a bomb scare on an examination day.
Phoning school to report a hospital emergency( which turns out to be false)
Falling asleep in class..Waking him/her up if they snore..
Asking the teacher if he/she is a member of a secret organization.
Complaining that the teacher´s breath stinks/ spits when speaking..
Shouting "goal" in a Latin lesson.
Armwrestling your students.
Impersonating somebody else in a crucial exam.( a serious crime, indeed)
Turning graffiti cocks in the school yard into butterflies before an H.M.I.´s visit.
Now it´s your turn to reflect ten more G.T.D.S.B.S. you have witnessed or been involved...
Inspired by Tony Hawks´Round Ireland with a fridge
I remember a fellow student falling asleep in our Semantics and Pragmatics class and being awaken by the teacher. The teacher was actually really nice and understanding, the class started at three and paying attention at that time of day after having eaten a hot stew is a rather hard work. From that day on my colleague brought a coke can along with her just in case.
