Teacher Pet Peeves

Disclaimer: This is all light hearted and anonymous!

Let’s hear from the staff of Scoil Mhuire and what their biggest pet peeves about students are...

• “Using the wrong copy when they don’t have their subject copy”

• "Students repeating what the teacher says exactly right after they say it to them"

• "Chewing on pens and pencils given from the teacher"

• "Not organising the notes given out and then they’re all tattered and ripped up in their bag"

• "Not pushing in the seats after the class"

• "Lies bug me"

• "Wasting art materials!"

• "Walking in front or behind you while driving and almost getting run over!"

• "When they put their school bags on their desks to try and hide the fact that they are on their phones"

• "When they are clicking those multi-pens constantly or if someone else then joins in. It feels like I’m going mad!"

• "Rubbish on the ground that they dropped and then when asked to pick it up they say it isn’t theirs"

• "When you say no to going to the bathroom and then say a pen leaked on your hand"

• "When they say their “homework at home” but I know they don’t actually have it done!"

• "Not paying attention in class and then asking stupid questions when they are doing their classwork"

• "When they don’t have any PE gear!"
