The times they are a changing

Is it me or are teenagers a different species now?

I just set a drawing task for some year eight students (week before half term no-one has much brain space). You would think I had asked them to barbecue their gran!!!

When I was at school (ooh, I'm really getting old), a drawing lesson was the hugest bonus.. I loved it. A chance to be creative, a chance to not write..

But now.. no.. they would rather copy words from a book. Madness..

Maybe I should ask them to barbecue their gran!
