I teach the best, most thoughtful little beans in the world.
I’ve spent 4 years with my class, talking about how much I want a Giant Snail - one of my boys only went and bought one as my thank you gift. 😭😭♥️🐌🐌
Off they go to secondary school - my heart is full. ♥️

[Tasha De St Croix @MrsDeStCroix]

Cards written. Year 6 leavers service tomorrow. 😭 2 more days until I bid farewell to my class of 4 years.

Any gift is special…but when they don’t have much 😭♥️
I love love love love my job.

@steelemaths This makes my heart happy ♥️ what an excellent teacher you must be.

[Tasha De St Croix @MrsDeStCroix]

No matter the final SATs result - I am beyond proud of their progress. ♥️

I’ve known teacher tired…

But Year 6-the-week-before-SATs-teacher tired is a whole new world.

The 'behaviour crisis'

I too have seen a post COVID deterioration in behaviour in schools (particularly secondary).
My thoughts and some strategies/mindsets I have found useful...
*Trigger warning, ref to suicide.

@Matt_Mowff This would be a dream! Fantastic prints 🤩

[Tasha De St Croix @MrsDeStCroix]

For the first time in a while, I’ve actually felt like an effective teacher this week.

I’m being sucked into an angry Twitter hole.

@jeanielaw @TheRealJamieKay 😂13 weeks ‘holiday’. I’m in my fourth year of teaching and haven’t yet worked less than a 60 hour week (+extra time on Sat&Sun) and throughout pretty much my entire holiday. Every job gets 28 days and usually has a 5/7 working pattern.
Some of you are entirely delusional.

[Tasha De St Croix @MrsDeStCroix]

@MrAHarrisonCS @TheRealJamieKay (And still taught remotely, or opened for key workers during this time!) I’ve not had a single ‘extra’ day off, despite covid!

[Tasha De St Croix @MrsDeStCroix]

@TheRealJamieKay I wish I hadn’t opened this thread.
It’s crushing.
People saying we aren’t putting the kids first - for me and so many others, they’re the whole point.
I see my class more than my own child because of the workload - in order to provide them with the best education I can.

@MrsReynolds3816 @DeputyGrocott I work 5 days a week through the holidays. Planning and resourcing the academic year ahead. Making resources for the incoming cohort. Changing, renovating and setting up classroom and displays. Whilst juggling my 4 year old who’s hardly seen me for the last 9 months.

[Tasha De St Croix @MrsDeStCroix]

♥️ When you can leave your children with another teacher and they still smash it.
Impeccable behaviour and beautiful work on a Friday afternoon whilst I was out for my Safeguarding update 🥰⭐️
