As a kid I could never skive school to go to Glasto (despite living 45mins away) because my mum was a teacher. Now I can't go to Glasto because I am the teacher. I just can't win. 🤣

Not going to lie, I felt like more of a parent to 30 than a teacher today trying to keep all my little beans cool. Sent one home who was overheating, did constant forehead temperature checks and rotated them around the fan. Today was not fair on them.

Controversial post, but if you're a new teacher seeing all these excitable ECT posts with fancy resources and you're feeling stressed and overwhelmed...Nobody has time for all that once term starts and by 2nd yr fancy resources will be a thing of the past. I said what I said. 💁‍♀️

Just had my final observation feedback for ECT 1. I'm so overwhelmed by how positive it was that I honestly feel like crying. 4 yrs ago I was forced to drop out of my 1st attempt at teacher training and now it's a while different story. I've grown, I've learnt, I'm succeeding. 🥳

I need new teacher friends. The ones you can debrief with after a chaotic day. I can't keep bringing that stuff home to my poor other half. Being a teacher can make you feel so isolated at times.

My phase leader told me my confidence and teacher presence has sky rocketed recently, and that made my day considering I had a cupboard cry first thing this morning. He's an amazing leader because he always communicates and knows it makes a difference being told these things. 😊

@MichaelRosenYes I teach poetry in music lessons so that my pupils can better understand rap. The majority of my demographic are rap-obsessed and by showing them where it all came from and how to write it, they have gained more respect for both and created some amazing work.

What're everyone's thoughts on the payrise announcement? Personally, I just can't strike anymore. I can't afford it, and I'm relying on a payrise to afford to live come September. I honestly feel like we won't get everything we've fought so hard for.

I know teachers are worrying about striking around SATs, but... I'm going to say it... SATs outcomes mean nothing once those kids get to secondary. They really don't. They'll get put in a set to start with, but it can all move around anyway. 🤷‍♀️

Had emergency circle time with my class because of lots of tears. They've been described as the most "emotional" class, but I put that down to the safe environment I've built so they can be in touch with their feelings and the oracy focus so they are able to articulate them.💜

@1_more_teacher @MrTs_NQTs 100% agree tbh. When I did it through university with no prior experience, I really struggled as schools expected me to know so much already from just a 2 week volunteer experience prior. I think it should be mandatory to have a year experience as a TA first!
