I totally failed recently. This post lets you behind the curtain a little and reveals that, much like the Wizard of Oz, this Female Housemaster is but human. (I am also secretly super in awe of people who can do Maths but, ssh, don’t tell anyone.)

I was recently interviewed for the Talking About Teaching podcast, where we discussed gender stereotyping, boarding and, well, teaching. Have a listen and let me know what you think!

This blog is a collection of thoughts, reflections and anecdotes from my experience as a woman in charge of boys. It isn’t a definitive guide, just a contribution to the greater discourse, and an acknowledgement that women know stuff about boys, too.

@SukiTea Thank you! I have emailed

[Dr Laura MacKenzie @LCOMacKenzie]

@SukiTea Hi I just placed order 000057318 but realised I've put down the wrong address! Can I change it?

[Dr Laura MacKenzie @LCOMacKenzie]

@geoffaberdein Thanks, Geoff. Well said.

@LNER Is it your policy to allow passengers to be subjected to offensive, racist, homophobic language while on your services? We have seen no member of staff while on your service from Kings Cross. We would appreciate a visit to coach K on the 9pm service to Newcastle to assist

@EE Hi, sorry, I'm abroad just now but I managed to speak to someone at EE. Thank you!

[Dr Laura MacKenzie @LCOMacKenzie]

@EE I've had zero phone signal for 24 hours now but your network checker says all okay in Peterborough area. Any ideas?

@EleanorRehahn Where would we be without men to tell us what it means to be a woman 😒

[Dr Laura MacKenzie @LCOMacKenzie]

@TKMaxx_UK I have just been refused service in your Corby store by three separate shop assistants for not having ID to purchase an apparently "age restricted" item...what, you ask? FALSE NAILS. How on earth can you justify such an odd policy? Oh, BTW, I'm 37!! #notacompliment

@BackyardCinemas @seetickets Thanks, I've sent a message. Still waiting to hear back from @seetickets

[Dr Laura MacKenzie @LCOMacKenzie]

@BackyardCinemas @seetickets have postponed an event with two weeks' notice with no option to refund cost of tickets. I have booked train tickets and hotel which are non-refundable so am significantly out of pocket. Please provide a contact number so I can speak to someone.

[Dr Laura MacKenzie @LCOMacKenzie]

@seetickets You've postponed an event for the third time with two weeks' notice and given no option to claim refund. I've booked hotel and train tickets which are non-refundable. Please provide a phone number for me to call. This level of service is appalling.

[Dr Laura MacKenzie @LCOMacKenzie]

A Level historians! My lovely friends are putting together an online workshop. A great resource for students and teachers who want some pointers about the coursework element.

[twohistorians.edu @TwohistoriansE]

@LCOMacKenzie would you be able to share this with the History department?

[Dr Laura MacKenzie @LCOMacKenzie]

@seth_romines Thank you for being gracious in your interactions. Peace and good will as you start your journey of dismantling dangerous and damaging theology.
