Natalie McDonald Poor Lauren, Please dont get down hearted. What you are doing is amazing and dont forget they are only 14. These things seem so insignificant at that age. Be strong keep going and keep smiling, the art of a good teacher is to completely change tack and catch them off guard. Big hugs to you (we miss you) Love Natalie xxx
