Writing in role

At start of piece - I'm so excited to be leading the staff meetings this term in my new role as head of department. When I was at school I always dreamed of the day when I would be a successful teacher. I had such a good time at school, I can't imagine why kids these days enjoy it that little that they feel the need to misbehave and even miss lessons. I used to look forward to learning new things and broadening my knowledge of things that would help me in life. I went to a grammar school but I don't think this gave me an advantage over comprehensive school students. If the quality of teaching is excellent and the students want to achieve I believe that they will, therefore I don't see why the students at our school should be underachieving. I am hoping that talking about the state of education, I will be able to get other teachers opinions on this and we will hopefully come up with some solutions to try. 

At end of piece - I cannot believe what I have just witnessed. I don't think I could have imagined that kind of disrespect from an uneducated student let alone fully grown adults! They have no respect for authority, much like they're students, no wonder they can no longer be controlled. If children learn by example the how can they be expected to grow into decent human beings when they are being taught by adults that have no social skills themselves. Not only is there education under threat but their natural development into young adults.we complain about the youth of today but is it our fault that more of them are turning out to be misbehaving, uninsterested and uncaring about their education?
