@meh50187 Can’t believe it isn’t Adam.

@MrARobbins I had an interview 2 weeks ago that didn’t take me beyond the lesson stage because I didn’t do enough of this sort of thing. Apparently I needed to talk about poverty more to engage the poor kids in the group.

Another shameless plug for myself in case anyone had a last minute staffing bombshell as they broke up for Christmas.

Don’t suppose anyone needs an English teacher for January in Chester/Cheshire/The Wirral…

@miss_huie I’m in a sixth form college this term and I agree. It is amazing.

@mrsbrewtandcake @PrueLeith I am now going to stalk their website obsessively!

@HeroicMrT @meh50187 Chances are that’s two different markers too because nobody really marks both papers and if you did it would be highly unlikely they’d get the same kid on the random allocation. That really highlights just how poor the process and training is.

@meh50187 Lucky baby hedgehog! ❤️

@Diane_Duncan I’ve not been paid for A Level marking either. 🙄

[Emma @RoseGreenthumb]

@MrsHydeteaches @mtpt_project Totally worth it. 😂
I hope you manage to find someone. It’s fascinating how different regions are experiencing the recruitment situation so differently.

@MrsHydeteaches @mtpt_project Giraffes, jaguars, snow leopards, two different types of tapirs…

@MrsHydeteaches @mtpt_project It would have to include moving Chester Zoo with me, so probably quite impractical.

@JoBullen1 I’d never thought of this but you’re so right. It is absolutely mad when you put it like that.

What a nice thing to be able to say! Here’s to a restoration of some good at the heart of our political decision making.

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

Sunak enters the car to go to Buckingham Palace to resign. And with that 14 years of Tory government effectively come to an end.

[Emma @RoseGreenthumb]

Well this looks wonderful!

@MsJasmineMN Where was it? It might be an option.

[Emma @RoseGreenthumb]

With no job lined up for September, it’s looking increasingly likely I’ll have to move outside of teaching. Quite ironic in the midst of a recruitment crisis... I’d love to stay in teaching so if anyone has any hot leads for something commutable from Chester, do send it my way.
