Calling all teachers

[pye]

Please excuse this odd post but this is driving me mad.

I read something recently about teachers noticing that kids all get very excitable on windy days. I can't remember where/when I read it, or who wrote it, could've been in the paper, on the web somewhere, or here on A4A. ???

If you posted something about this recently please put me out of my misery.  :)

Dunno who posted it but it's certainly true.  BTW it's half term  - enough time for education related posts in the next six weeks.   ;D

wind, full moon, electric storms they change personality and become wild.

[flossie]

advent calendars have the same effect :)

[norfolklass]

don't have any kids so can't say if they're affected but my cat goes mental when it's windy

[grawrc]

Ha! Just got in the tomatoes before the skies opened. Blinding  torrential monsoon rain and fierce and fast thunder and lightning. The weather mirrors my mood.

As an ex-teacher I can say it's definitely true!

[Jeannine]

Yep, and full moons and especially wet playtimes

[Tulipa]

You can tell when it has been a windy playtime, they come in so excited, as though the wind comes in with them.... :)

Worked as a nursery nurse and all the the children went hay wire when it was windy.

[asbean]

So do I  ;D ;D ;D ;D

[grawrc]

Hey! ;)

[pye]

Thanks for all the replies, but can anyone remember a post about this during the last month or so? It's still driving me nuts that I can't remember where I read it. Stupid brain.  >:(

I do love the idea of wild eyed children and cats charging about, bringing the wind indoors with them.  :)

I love a windy day meself.  :)

As a teacher I can vouch for that!! and in Spain when its windy it's really really windy!  :-\

Pye, I'm not sure that it was on here that you read it.   I remember it too, and I could've sworn that I read it in a newspaper or heard it on the radio.  So it would have been either radio 4 or radio Scotland, or in the Guardian, Independent, Herald or Metro.

Sorry, that's probably just made it even harder to remember where you saw it  :-\

[pye]

Thank you thank you thank you!  :-*  ;D

It will be either Guardian or R4, I'm sure I read it not heard it, will have another search on g-unlimited.

They are still as mental in secondary school... but as our building sways in the wind and you can hear it creak and groan maybe they aren't that mad after all!
::)

we had a dog that would go happily bananas when it was windy when i was a kid. my dad would come in from the garden and say "the dogs got the wap in her tail again". never did know what a wap was.

I'm sure it's true, but it's hard to pinpoint exactly why. You get 30 hormonal teenagers in a room and it takes very little to set them off.
