To be honest i couldn't go back to a job where I didn't have a month and half off during the summer. I still worry about the changing attitude of kids though. I do believe that family breakdown is causing more and more problems for the children and their resulting behaviour. It seems that this country is spiralling down in that respect. Because of increasing secularisation Christian Family values are being lost - there are no boundaries any more. There are more single parent familes with out a father figure, there are more abuse relationships with the family unit. The way some kids are, they really didn't stand a chance being anything else. It is very sad.

In a related question....When I was watching some youtube videos of the currect Doctor Who, I noticed that some people had posted interviews of the actors on some of the British TV shows. FOr instance, I noticed a Graham Norton (am I remebering right?) and a Friday Night Project. I was amazed at how little they censor the shows!! What is your opinion on the quality of British TV with respect to the morality? I am sure I am only getting snippets...but the blatantly sexual overtones and free cursing rather shocked me. Maybe it was simply the shows that people choose to post, but....do you think this is reflective of the culture you are seeing?
(Not that American TV is so virtuous, mind you
, and there are PLENTY of examples of filth here. But to get uncensored stuff, you generally have to either stay up late or be on cable TV that you have to pay for....I don't know how the British TV system works, so it could be that I was watching stuff that would normally be censored)
COngrats on finishing and yes, I agree with you about the vacation....On an encouraging note, it only gets better and better the more experience you have. (btw, what is NQT?)
.
Keep up the good work....May God give you strength!!
