As a teacher, you have some responsibility towards your students, so pulling a runner should not be taken and done lightly. There must be good reasons. However, you are not supposed to self-sacrifice yourself.

I'm talking about working out your contract after you have signed your contract and after you have started to teach. You did the right thing to go before you signed a contract. That is not doing a runner.

Anyway in the spirit of Christmas coming and posting pics, this is my youngest. I am not very good at feeding prune juice- one only has a split second to get a spoonful in her gob when her guard is withdrawn (thumb in the mouth) Prune juice will keep us all regular.
