👀👋🏼 Back on Teacher Twitter after a long break. Looking to connect with Tutor Agencies, Supply Agencies, and TEFL work. Seeking flexible, casual work where I can actually make a difference. Any recommendations please hit me up! 🍎
One of the reasons people don't recognize ADHD as a disability is that they see ADHD struggles (with things like organisation, tidyness, timeliness, communication etc) as personal failings. That is ableism.

Think this every year but I honestly thinking watching Love Island with commentary and discussion would be an excellent PSHE course in sex and relationship education (minus the lack of queer representation ofc). Gaslighting, consent, ownership of own body etc etc
Advice needed! Potentially having career break to retrain in different profession but need to bring some money in on evenings/weekends/school hols. Tips for a trained teacher/TEFL? Can't do marking as not done NQT. Tutoring agencies? Short break worker?

The inherently exhausting nature of teaching is never noted by those who’ve never experienced it. Teaching is performance, it’s acting. Imagine a west end performer on 6 shows a day. 30 little people who can all change by the second to react to. Thrilling but requires all of you!
I've worked with three young people this week alone, who attempted suicide due to significant distress around their sexuality.
We've come a long way but one thing they all said struck me. 'People presume everyone is heterosexual so it's hard.'
Adults - Our language must evolve
This. But also:
• how do I get through the day without a nap?
• how do I retrain my bladder for break and lunch times only?
• how do I manage without a constant supply of snacks?
