Anyone who teaches massed children will know that they are definitely affected by nature phenomena - rain, wind, and - the full moon.
There wa a full moon yesterday. My class (usually so well-behaved) were a bit bonkers. Two children hit others in the face. Another pair who spend life winding one another up managed to wind up staff instead.
Now today I did some teaching at my other regular place. I discovered that they'd had a memorable day, too, with an autistic boy flipping out, throwing stuff around, then vandalising some cars.
You parents out there, please tranquillise your children when there's a full moon!
