Sounds to me like your boss put off doing a lot of stuff she should have done-hence your working on Fridays. And now, with a (seemingly) important visitor coming, she's got to scramble to make things look good. XD
Regarding the smarty pants girl who likes to 'joke' with you...how about having one of the other students answer her question? Something along the lines of:
Smarty Pants: Sheena, what does >fill in word here< mean?
You: You know, I just covered that...but it's always good to see who was paying attention. >Fill in chosen student's name<, will you answer that question so we can move on?
*grin* I guarantee if her questions embarrass or make extra work for her classmates, they'll get on her case. And if the student you called upon gets it right, you get the bonus of knowing that your lessons are being absorbed. >:D
