They speak in tongues
As they bowl their way down
Yellow painted corridors
Elbows in ribs
And raucous shouts.
But what is a Tik Tok
If it’s not the sound of a clock?
And since when is a Fornite
Not the name for two weeks?
I feel way out my depth
As I stand to one side
And let the group pass.
I’m just a ghost
Not worth the space
Cos I’m just too old
To know what they say.
I visited a school the other day to get a taste for teaching. It was a really great experience and has made me really keen to get into the profession.
BUT I did feel incredibly old. There was a whole new language that they used that I didn’t understand in the slightest. The number of websites and TV programmes and music artists that I don’t know is astounding.
And it made me feel really old! I remember being a kid and just rolling my eyes at my teachers and parents when they didn’t know what we were talking about. But now I’m on the receiving end of the eye rolls.
I think that if I do get into teaching I probably need to switch back to Radio One!
Much Love

Sounds about right. I think it’s worse now than it was a generation ago, because of how much time these kids spend in front of screens.

I know! It’s like a whole new world that they live in!
