Being a male primary teacher can sometimes be very lonely

[Mr.S @PrimaryMr_S]

📚 Expecting students to endure long, ‘boring’ lessons in our dopamine-fueled, hyper-engaging world is like asking a tortoise to race a Ferrari.

Do we need to rev up the education revolution and make learning as thrilling as their social media feeds? 📲

[Mr.S @PrimaryMr_S]

Is there anyone else teaching in the Middle East who is struggling to deal with parents?? 😩

#Unappreciated

[Mr.S @PrimaryMr_S]

I think I am finally calling it quits with primary education! 🙅‍♂️

The endless energy drain from dealing with little ones, nagging parents, and mountains of paperwork has pushed me over the edge.

What can I move into instead?

I want to do a math project with my grade 4 students.
Any recommendations?

[Mr.S @PrimaryMr_S]

@RishiSunak How fruitful is teaching a 9 year old how to add the fractions 2/12 + 3/8?

Teach them relevant math skills. Skills and knowledge which will prepare them for the real world.

a) How to budget?
b) What is a mortgage?
c) How does debt and interest work?
d) Investing.

[Mr.S @PrimaryMr_S]

@RishiSunak No, ask teachers how to improve math results.
a) Smaller class sizes so students receive the support they require.
b) Less standardised assessments.
c) More relevant topics.
P.s. A lot of the math curriculum is nonsense.

@ACRO_Police_CST I am a U.K. citizen. I moved to the UAE in august 2022 for work. To work in Saudi Arabia starting August 2023, I need to obtain an ACRO from the U.K. for the visa.

Is it possible for me to obtain an ACRO from the U.K. whilst I am residing in the UAE?

How do you deal with burn out?

@YERMA1233 @Jurgen_N_Klopp @LFC 😂😂😂 Klopp has lacked major creativity… 4-3-3 for the past few years against EVERY team

[Mr.S @PrimaryMr_S]

@Jurgen_N_Klopp @LFC I know 😢 Klopp needs to adapt his tactics to the opponent’s style of play!

[Mr.S @PrimaryMr_S]

@wahwicksa @LFC Milner at RB. I know we don’t play 4-4-2. We play 4-3-3 against EVERY team. Klopp needs to change and adapt his tactics. It’s not a one-size-fits-all.

This may help

[End Wokeness @EndWokeness]

Bernie Sanders now backs equality (opportunity) over equity (outcome)

This is a truly stunning admission coming from an avowed socialist

[Mr.S @PrimaryMr_S]

@EndWokeness A visual representation of Equality + Equity

[Mr.S @PrimaryMr_S]

Teachers are burnt out.

If teachers cannot help themselves, how can they help their students?
