@OctopusEnergy getting very frustrated with the lack of response to simple complaint - been nearly 3 weeks, lots of emails and no resolution. Disappointed with your award-winning customer service 😢
We are now tutoring 750 state school kids EVERY week to increase the number & diversity of excellent mathematicians. We are super keen to hire a few more tutors (online). Can you spare 3 hrs or more per week, £27.50/h. Pls send note & CV to [email protected]
@msapplebya@ThePiXLNetwork@Headteacherchat@WomenEd I think I found it quite user friendly & it didn’t crash as much as SIMs had in last school? We’ve just gone from SIMs to Bromcom in my new school, & I don’t find it as intuitive.
Remarkable fact:
Average teacher pay is about the same today in real terms as it was in 2001.
Average pay across the economy is about 18% higher than in 2001.
@heymrshallahan@miss_mcinerney My small children are desperate for me to pick them up from school, so this would enable me to be there for them once a week. Huge. I know I work above and beyond, but am directed to be on site for all PPA.
🪰CASTING CALL🪰
We are looking for boys aged 10-13 for a new TV adaptation of Lord of the Flies by @jackthorne being produced by @ElevenFilm .
See image below for details.
@mrlev I’m a (mature) ECT in secondary. Trained P-T as I have 2 young kids. Still work 50+hrs. Start a new FT post in Sept. Politely asked if 1 PPA could be at the end of the day allowing one weekly school pick up as son starts school. Told bluntly that all PPA must be on site. 😔
There was spontaneous applause in my Y7 classes today, as Michael Rosen popped up on a film about The Globe. Shouts of ‘Chocolate Cake!!’ Being a new teacher almost broke me yesterday, but kids ❤️ books. Whatever they say. Thanks @MichaelRosenYes
@EllieJaneTaylor Yes Ellie! 🙌🏻 Ace to see you smashing it lovely - (ps. my daughter adored the Hocus Pocus reference, so turns out it *was* worth watching it in half term, despite the “Mummy, what’s a virgin?” conversation)
@Kiran_MH Ugh. That’s awful. We’re really hoping you might consider visiting our school in Kent next term (?🤞🏻😬). I do hope the rotten behaviour of some won’t put you and others off…
One of the joys of teacher training has been discovering amazing new YA fiction, writers and illustrators. Such a treat to meet @Kiran_MH and Tom de Freston @theamelia_tw last week, discussing their gorgeous collaboration #Juliaandtheshark (I’m afraid I’ve DMd as promised 🙈)
