@AerLingus You cancelled my Nov flight & rebooked me from a diff airport. My taxi refund was approved—but 6 months on, I still haven’t received it. After 17+ hrs on calls & empty promises, I’m no closer. This is unacceptable. I’d like my money.

No better feeling than three of your most disengaged students turning up to drop in revision sessions twice in one week 🙌 #profecontenta

@CaoimheMFL @MagicMfl I agree! Literally saved it to my favourites yesterday to think about for Easter holidays, they looks fab!!

Solidarity with all teachers on strike today. It’s not just about fair pay. It’s about taking a stand against

Underfunded schools
A squeeze on school hours
Teacher workload; one of the highest in the world

Investment in our children’s future must improve

Can honestly say walking over to a student with the bin to spit their chewing gum out and them spitting out a green bean is hands down one of the funniest moments of my teaching career so far

@MrsAMwiti Following it myself this year too 😂

@ImogenLucy5 Awh I’m so glad! Let me know if you have any other concerns and I’ll try help in whatever way I can 😊

[Jessica Steele @senoritasteelee]

@mllegarnero No worries at all! I compiled this list throughout the year and just thought it might be helpful now for new ECTS 😊 good luck! Just take one new focus each week

30. Finally - Look after yourself and know when enough is enough and know who you can go to. This is a beautiful wonderful profession which I truly love but if you don’t get the balance right early on you won’t be able to last in the profession.

29. Watch ‘Every kid needs a champion’ Rita Pierson Ted talk every time you need reminded why teaching is worth it and just how much of a difference we make in so many children’s lives
