As someone who began teaching 3 years ago, I sympathize. Many of the students don't want to be there, and have little incentive to cooperate. Since punishment is no longer allowed, your only weapons are a good sense of humor and as many rewards as you can think up. Every minute you spend in advance lesson planning is worth it, because when you're armed with a solid plan, most students will acquiesce and follow it. If you're unsure, they'll fill in the gap with restless misbehavior. I would advise you to eat lunch with the staff, as it's a means of decompression and getting a sense that "we're all in this together."

Flippy: je suis d'accord avec toi -- mais n'oublions cependant pas qu'ils ont 14 ans et non 17!

Pascale: 25 heures d'enseignement et une heure de décharge, donc je dépasse le plein-temps d'une période.

Ca marche comment en Suisse : combien d'heures par semaine faut-il assurer ?

must say you're pretty brave to change careers and get into teaching, one profession i am glad i did not get into :) especially with my low levels of patience, i would be screaming at the students very often :) but i'm sure it will get easier once you get into groove. plus all those long holidays to look forward to!

Tu as trouvé un générateur de "pirate talk" ou ca vient de la moitié anglophone de ton cerveau, avast. Y a pas l'équivalent en français (à part "Tavernier, du rhum!")
