If I didn’t have hands, would I still be able to teach? My lovely daughter came to my class with me last week to take some promotional pictures (watch this space). I’ve never seen myself teach before.
And now I have.
I’ll say no more.

Settle down, children. The lesson is about to begin.

Basic Numeracy is a government requirement, students. You can use your fingers if it helps.

I was all, like, WTF?

I’m not even kidding. It was *this* small.

HahahahahaSNORT

Secret Teacher Hand Signal: ‘Class is sucking. Activate the ejector seat.’

I’m not entirely agreeing with what you’re saying. But I’ll listen anyway. And then I’ll pounce.

Roight, you. See me after class.

Mwa ha ha.

Go high on gas, low on electric. Secretly trading shares with those in the know.

And this is the internationally recognised signal for ‘I am a tourist in your country. Please take my photograph’.

Anyone seen my false teeth? Pretty sure they’re down here somewhere…

All right, who’s guffed?

Let me just chew this over a while.

You, and you. There’s the door. Get yourselves through it.

Is it just me, or is it raining in here? (This signal also referred to as The Boob Cup)

My mouth may be talking about Point of View. My hands have just arranged the assassination of a minor dissident.

Teacher Pose #72: ‘Looking Down the Nose’.

There was this lop-eared rabbit…

Oh, there’s the bell! Time to go home and watch ‘Wolf Hall’ on the telly box.

Lynsey, I may not have been physically in the room last week, but having seen the photos, I don’t feel I missed the class at all! I’ll be watching very closely this Wednesday…
See you then

Oh dear, I think it was in your direction! But I wasn’t consciously looking down my nose at you. I may have been doing an impression of a horse. That’s probably far more likely.
