Dirty jobs

Teaching teenagers sometimes involves unpleasantness. It's true.

Today I had to suspend a boy who told me, in no uncertain terms, to, "fuck off, Miss."

But I think the worst job I had to do today was type "John Howard" and "Peter Costello" into google images.
(I'm starting my Year 7s on a unit on Government tomorrow and need some visual aides...)

How is a left-leaning young teacher supposed to create non-biased posters for her classroom when Peter Costello manages to look like a complete jerk in every photo?






















Julia Gillard and Bob Brown however, are a dream...









Meh. What's a girl to do? Bob and Julia are cool. I'm proud they are involved in running my country. And they give good face.

I'll just have to choose one of the many dumbass photos of Peter Costello and let my students make up their own mind...
