10 years ago, I was on teaching placement with a “mentor” who broke my confidence and used to say the most horrible things. 6 years ago, I interviewed and got my teaching job. Today, I’m acting deputy head, SENCO and class teacher. 💜

My fiancé just took the cat that’s been hanging around to the vet, scanned, and it has a microchip. It has been missing for a year and we’ve just managed to reunite it with its owners, who thought it was just missing and gone forever. 🥺

This week has been such a struggle with my class. Today I nearly sat down and cried in front of them. Please say it’s not just me who has these weeks because I feel so bad at my job right now.

One of my class has made leaps and bounds of progress in their reading. Extremely reluctant reader, hates reading and everything to do with it. Recently been on cloud 9, and loving reading. Told them they smashed the paper today. The response? “I can’t have, I didn’t finish it”💔

I never thought I would have had the reaction I did to my tweet about doubting myself and my teaching last night. It’s ok to not be ok, and the response shows that. I have never met some of the people who have messaged me, and you all brought me back from the edge. Thank you. ♥️

You know all those little negative thoughts you have about your ability to do your job? I had a nightmare last night that was so vivid about this. People told me I “do nothing all day, was too young to be SLT, didn’t know what I was doing”. I feel really sad this morning now. 😢

If a bloke was sat alone in the football would you assume he had been stood up? No you’d just assume he likes to come to the football and seeing as it’s a cup game some of us can’t sit in our seat. Why is this an ok question to ask a woman...?
