it's the best job and the worst job. i hope the job is good to you Joel and to all the other amazing teachers.

Why would a teacher use the v isual output of a theft machine to illustrate their concerns. You are colluding in making every single thing worse. And you are obviously teaching your students that it is fine to cheat and steal if it saves you a bit of time or effort.

I always wonder what non-teachers would think if I told them to remember everything we have to 6 times a day 😅

Thank you for finding the words and the time to write this. So much of it was exactly my experience too, as one of those older teachers (trained in 2000 after 15 years in social work). It's madness.

I know, enjoyed it an odd one 😅 Glad you did like it though

Not related to your post. Hope you’re well. Wondered if we can grab a summer holiday pint?

I have a life here. I've looked abroad previously, I know a ton of teachers who have moved abroad to international schools. I do always wonder if people know what effect their small interactions have on people.

Of course what I really meant, was I thought I was right about how to teach and pesky assistant and deputy heads were wrong...🤣

I try my best, I post on Bluesky, LinkedIn, and a facebook group for biology teachers. But getting my work out there, especially in the UK, is very hard. I get more interest from the US.

Thank you 🙂

It really is. Every year I see more and more people leave. They claim they're happier, have more money, less stressed and have more time. It's hard to carry on when everyone around you leaves.
