It was my first day in the school as an on duty teacher. I had been been on duty for five hours, when the school superintendent (releaved me / permitted me to go). Also I conducted (could use "taught") two lessons this morning. Including that, I was in the school for 9 or 10 hours.
It was rainy and damp and there was no heating in the school, so I am freezing. My colleague gave me a cup of hot sweet tea, she wanted to help me to get warm. I drank it, although I prefer tea without any sugar.
I began to get in the groove chatting with my new pupils. A lot of them are registered in the juvenile delinquents' room. Somebody(or "One of them") has a child. Today I conducted a literature lesson in the eighth grade (usually there are teens 14 or 15 years old in eight grade in an ordinary school, but we have teens under 23) and one of them looked through the window and said that there were “pharaohs.” It was slang. This ward means “policeman”, but “pharaoh” is ruder than a “cap”.
