Mri is in Canada on indefinite leave due to Visa issues. We don't even know if she will ever come back in Germany, leave alone showing up in our kindergarten again. Her absence may not have been noticed so much but for the fact that a lot of teachers are absent from the school due to one reason or the other and her group is absolutely without any teacher.
Mz, My, Jn, were all absent today. That left only Mcl to look after Mz's group but today morning he rang to inform that by mistake he had risen late in the morning so he will be late by half an hour to school. Half an hour later he rang again to tell us that he fell down from U Bahn stairs and was hurt so he won't be coming for next few days!
Mgt and An were sent to look after the whole group. Both Cl and I wondered what was happening in that group today because of Mgt's notoriety in not being able to do anything anywhere and because An is so soft, gentle and self effacing; we have never heard her speak in a loud tone while that group children are so rowdy, indisciplined, loud and totally out of control.
I met An in the playground and asked how her day was going in the group and her reply didn't surprise me at all.
She replied rolling her eyes heavenwards.
"Oh, they are horrible. They don't listen no matter how loud you shout after them. The morning circle time was nerve racking. They kept shouting loudly, talking, fighting, pestering each other and didn't have the courtesy to listen quietly when the teachers were talking to them, let alone obeying them. We took them to the gym and then brought them out here in the playground where they can use all their energy in sports. I feel I am so much better with my baby group in which the little babies don't know yet how to talk."
