Working in a school feels much like running on a treadmill that never slows down - and it gets harder by the day.
Every cut and the speed increases.
Every new demand and the incline rises - again and again.
Exhaustion builds and, with no clear end in sight, confusion and concern grow.
Colleagues keep running because it’s a vocation and because they care - it’s what they do.
But patience, hard work & goodwill can only keep them going for so long - people can't keep running when they are empty.
We need to slow things down, lower the incline & support the runners before the whole machine breaks - or they do.
Said to the kids on Friday “wouldn’t kindness be such a great question…” … was told no one on TikTok had predicted it so probably won’t come up.

Teenage me would be quaking over the fact that I met @JayMcGuiness last night 💗
Thank you for being so lovely! SO full circle seeing you as Shakespeare & me as an English teacher!
I look in people windows but it’s about that one friend you were super close with and then they randomly stopped talking to you for no reason 3 years ago and every time you reach out you get no response so you eventually gave up but you never stop wondering why
