@MrsT1302 Completely feel this, feeling really anxious about starting back after Easter tomorrow and I've been having bad dreams about work all week. The next 4 weeks feels manageable but the idea of 7 after that fills me with dread. Feel free to DM if you ever want to talk it through x
@MrLongEnglish I requested it, happy to share my letter with you if you think it'd be helpful. Been told it's unlikely due to staffing so now I've got a tough decision to make
One of those random, off topic questions kids have led me to find out this week that one of my year 9s was also taught by my sister in primary school. It's quite a nice coincidence and I bet that doesn't happen very often!
Today I ran my first school trip.. started with 87 year 7s, ended with 87. They enjoyed it and so did I, a successful first trip! (Even if I did come home and have to have a nap because it wiped me out 😴)
Back to school tomorrow after 2 and a half weeks off with a case of covid that completely took me out, and another week for half term. Definitely feeling more apprehensive than usual about the first Monday back, feeling completely out of the loop 😬
Looking at putting on a women in STEM workshop at my school aimed at getting more girls involved in STEM and raising aspirations by getting professionals in to talk. Has anyone done anything similar and could give me some inspiration/tips on how to get started? Please RT 😊
I spent this weekend taking some students on my first DofE expedition, it was great to get outdoors and I'm really enjoying the opportunity to be more involved than just being a classroom teacher - it's taken me 5 years to feel like I could take more on but I'm loving it 😊
This year I've got my first top set GCSE class and they are so far an absolute dream to teach. It is sooo nice to have a class full of keen beans that actually want to be there and make my job so easy! Definitely feeling positive about this academic year!
@shang1308 I'm not familiar with these acronyms unfortunately - I'm simply excited to have a class that will challenge my teaching in a different way, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
@Craftcrochet@MrBMaths3 To the students I wouldn't use this terminology, but I'm among adults here so I think a little more freedom of speech is entirely reasonable.
@realdoll03@kimturner70 That matters, not strangers irrelevant opinions on the internet. If however you'd like to put your energy to good use, we always need new teachers so please do feel free to train, and then we'll discuss further 😊
@realdoll03@kimturner70 Also, I'm a little confused as to why you're comparing human children to dogs?! If you don't work in a school, please do arrange yourself a visit to see for yourself the difference it takes to teach different classes. I give my everything to my kids and quite honestly that's all
