I asked my year 1 classes what job they'd like to do when they're older;
Here is my analysis
A THREAD
Alice - "A Princess"
How fucking predictable! I explained to her what happend to Lady Di but it went straight over her head. Dreams of Elsa and Arna. Would she be any good at it? No. The pressure is insurmountable. She'd crumble quicker than one ply toilet roll in a river.
Katie - "Vet"
Yeah about right. I'm sure she'd rather have her finger up a cat's ass than deal with people. I know I would. Katie is kind and caring so I'm sure she'll be great. She did mention a fear of big dogs so, I don't know how well that would work.
Jack - "Fire Truck"
I asked twice but both times were specifically "Fire-Truck". Jack would make a terrible Fire truck. He's not fast enough. He can't carry much so god knows how he'd deal with a whole crew of firefighters. I did get him to do a siren and fair play, it was good.
Frankie - "Secret Ninja"
As opposed to those Ninja's in Hyde Park who sell throwing stars!? He's too clumsy to be a Ninja. Shoelaces constantly untied. Perhaps a Kung-Fu Panda scenario will play out and they will love him regardless. Also not much work for Ninja's these days.
Emma - "Cafe Lady"
Picture this. A quaint, Wiltshire village. Emma works the morning shift, serving locals with a smile. Her afternoons are spent on the bank of a river, painting and writing. She's happy. Content. Finally herself. Probably nicks a lemon slice occasionally tho.
Mikey - "A Doctor"
Mate. Please. I suppose if Dr Dre and Dr Pepper are considered doctors then yes, you can also do that. Alas, he'd have 16 years of education left. God help every teacher along the way. The NHS is already in peril. He does cares a lot though. Perhaps a Nurse.
Ravi - "Teacher in a school"
He needs to dream bigger than school! Ravi is too much for these four walls. He's just being humble I'm sure. I saw the twinkle in his eye that said "I don't want to undermine anyone but I'm going to be a fucking megastar mate". I just can't disagree
Rosie - "A Dorito. Cheesy one."
Obviously it's April Fools Day so I assume she's fucking with me. Not even the best flavour. Children have a right to be who the want to be. And Rosie wants to be a Dorito. To be honest Roise, I joke because I'm jealous. What a life it would be!
Toby and Wendy - "Sit in the Park"
Like you, I had questions. What's the pay-scale? Do they promote within? Flexible hours? But they didn't know. Toby and Wendy want to sit in the park and look at butterflies. Sounds lovely but imagine how shit that is in February. Not thinking
Ben - "A Police Office"
Notice he didn't say "Policeman". Yet again progressive. His moral and ethical standards will be an absolute credit to the force. I don't think Ben will cope with the stuffy suit and conformity. Hes more, liberal that that. But maybe thats what it needs.
Susanna - Bank Robber
Less Jessie James and more Robin Hood. Think George Clooney in Oceans 11. Slick, cool. Stealing millions from the fat cats to give to the poor. But on further inspection, she just wants to steal her bothers birthday money. I think we all should be worried.

I asked my Year 1 classes to tell me a joke;
Here is my analysis.
A THREAD
Alice - "Why did the cow cross the road? - To go to the Mooovies"
Great timing. Great Engery. It also got a big laugh from the class. She is still raw as a comic but certainly showing a lot of promise. 8/10
Katie - "Why did the cow cross the road? - Mooovies"
Wanted a slice of Alice's pie. Copied her completely but with less conviction. No style or character. Even got the punchline wrong. Cluster fuckall round but I appreciate the attempt. 2/10
