I am trying to finish two assignments before 26th April. The first one is a 3,500 word essay about Robert Owen and Margaret McMillan and their influence on early years education today. (who? you say) I must have read every book on the subject and looked at every education act since 1870. I have sat up in be late at night hilighting relevent text. (I even had to go and buy a green highlighter because the orange one was making me ill- I HATE ORANGE!). The essay is taking shape but everytime I read it I want to delete it!!!!
The second assignment is about the place of assessment in education today. I have had to build a portfolio of a child and then have to write a 2,500 word essay. I haven't even thought about that yet.... apart from the fact I may use.............. blue highlighter............ then I have to re-write an essay I got back that failed by 1%........... remind me someone........why am I doing this...........roll on the summer when I can read a trashy book.
If it wasn't for my dear friend May and my darling Laurence(who picks me up of the floor when I scream about it) I would have given up long ago.

Thanks - do you want me to write your assignment for you? I'm good at making up fiction.
Why haven't you thanked me for my constant support and friendship? I'm hurt ......
By the way, I have a lovely selection of highlighters if you fancy a change. Maybe green?
