Got a bit of a shock yesterday when Johnston approached me saying that he got some feedback from the classes about my lessons and it wasn't all good- as in it was pretty much all negative comments :-S. So, at first I felt a bit crap, cos I knew for a fact my classes have been overly rubbish so far. But then I decided just to be honest with the class and sit with them and explain everything.
