Work Experience...
I did mine in the 'foundation stage' of a primary school, ages 3-5. You can predict how that was, drawing pictures with the kids, unblocking the sink when they tipped sand down it, spending lunchtimes building towers with those little multicoloured blocks they used for maths, whatever they were called, etc. I quickly discovered that my future did not lie in teaching.
So it was a relief when one morning I was told we'd be watching a video. I parked my arse on a ridiculously tiny chair behind the class and we all watched Words And Pictures, to teach them about the 'ah' sound.
Once that had finished, the real teacher told the class to come up with 10 words with the 'ah' sound in the middle. The usual cat, bat, mat, came up. One smart-arse came out with 'tractor'.
"That's nine, can anyone come up with a tenth?" Silence, they'd run out of three-letter words. Until a tiny hand shoots up.
"CRAP!"

I had to excuse myself to go and laugh myself silly in the tiny toilets.
