If *ANYBODY* thinks that any educator is chuffed to have their school closed, remember that most of us joined the profession to make a difference. It’s harder to do that from our living rooms. Relationships are a key part of our role. We will adapt, we are Teachers.
Here’s my outlook on all this as a teacher:
We’re still getting paid. SO many other people can’t even say that.
If me being in school, even over Easter hols, means that an NHS worker etc... can go and do their thing. Then so be it.
This is so much bigger than us.
Some Friday thoughts on bullying / trolling culture that I would say at an assembly if I was headmistress before insisting everyone galloped to their classroom. But I believe as applicable to people who believe their jobs might justify the behaviour. Peaceful weekend to all.
Adorable Y8 student at school who started a "good to be me" club where people can can discuss feelings learn about emotions and mental health and just celebrate each other for who they are! Today we were encouraged to write down or create a mood board for what makes us happy
So my form group have always done a Secret Santa, this year I have a new form group and they want to do the same. However I'm thinking I might try something new with them whereby they can't buy anything brand new, instead has to be from a charity shop or handmade. #gogreen
Fellow RE teachers!! I went to see this play (£5 for script) written by @Baddiel (who happened to be sitting next to us!) At @sohotheatre and it was fab mind is swimming with lesson planning and discussion ideas!! #reteacher#godsdice#nerdingout#teacherlife
It's a sad day when you realise that being paid as a teacher just isn't enough to live. I shouldn't have to to spend so much of my time outside of school just trying to find ways of earning extra money just to get through the month! #teaching#nomoney#undervaluedandunderpaid
39 people died in the back of a truck today. One of those people was the last to die and watched 38 people go before them. Can you even imagine the horror you'd need to be running from to make that risk worthwhile?
And we complain about giving them refuge?
Fuck off.
Bit of bubble feedback! I set out the criteria before the task and then depending on what level of the criteria they meet they get a bubble drawing in their books they are then given the WWW of meeting the criteria and then how to move forward to move up a bubble #feedback#RE
At my school we've adopted a new house system and I'm so proud that I have been named Head of Hawking house!! I'm so proud to inspire students to love learning and never give up on their passions despite the odds #stephenhawking#teacher#inspirationalfigures
