There are more ifs in this speech than a Rudyard Kipling poem... #BorisBriefingBingo #nationallockdown #level5 #borisjohnson #welpwerefucked

Recovering from a bad school experience can take years not weeks. There is mental baggage that teachers carry with them that no one can see or thinks to ask about. 2/3 jobs down the line it can still be hovering in someone's head. That isn't that persons fault - at all!

There must be a good sizeable chunk of Classicists out there (in their houses/flats!) raising a glass to Asterix and Obelix tonight. RIP.

My job contract ends in August. Trying not to think about how the tumbleweed has swept across the TES jobs since last week...

@BenBebbs @NickBryars @debrakidd @bennewmark ...seems to be A LOT of work our end keeping track of what’s set, what’s marked, who might need e-prodding to do work, etc... we will see!

[Domishtian @domishtian]

@BenBebbs @NickBryars @debrakidd @bennewmark This is what we’re doing in my school and (although only Day 4), it’s working well so far. Clearly the younger kids are having their parents schedule, and we’ve suggested they go ahead with their timetabled lessons to do their work in...

[Domishtian @domishtian]

@RogersHistory I wish I hadn’t thought this was normal when it was happening to me.

Sometimes it still does. But it took A LOT of those days for me to realise that it shouldn’t be the norm.

@EmmisStories @RogersHistory Giving you guys love rn.

[Domishtian @domishtian]

This tweet is so, so important. Give it a week, half a term, a term. Move schools. I’ve come from hating teaching and thinking I’m the worst at everything to loving it again. Have faith, or at least play the long con, gentle readers.

[Tom Rogers @RogersHistory]

It’s ok to hate teaching right now. It’s probably not that you hate it - someone or something is making you hate it.

So apparently my fave thing to do at the moment is contribute to old CSCP CLC threads from last year which no-one cares about any more.
