The cathartic reflections of a pissed-off teacher.

@pastelteacher @MrBoothY6 The best teachers were the individuals. My best results were from those teachers who stood out and weren't robots. If human individuality was irrelevant we would be taught by robots... The clue is in the fact we are not.

@AlistairDewar2 @Headteacherchat Compassion matters 👍 but preparing them for the world more so. If we teach kids deadlines, punctuality and standards don’t apply, we’re setting them up to fail.... The reason I'm never late is becuase I was lucky enough to have teachers who understood this.

@LibbySquires96 I assume it's like the unforgettable drag of the first cigarette in while... And both will f**k your health isn't the future.

@Strickomaster @dustonschool Don't do it! Run! Save yourselves... Find a different less toxic career!

[slayedbythebell @slayedbythebell]

@SchoolsWeek = more teachers handing in their notice; leading to inconsistency.

Great idea d**k head.

[slayedbythebell @slayedbythebell]

@eduleadership No fucking s*** sherlock! Someone needs to tell every f***Ing member of slt who literally w**k to written feedback and treat it like a fetish..

[slayedbythebell @slayedbythebell]

@KyrstieStubbs Not all teachers are ready to teach the same thing at the same time, in the same way... And yet slt still put me on RE....despite being a trained maths teacher 😂.

[slayedbythebell @slayedbythebell]

@MBDscience Takeaway: don't give as much to teaching or don't expect as much in life. Your choice. You have the control.

[slayedbythebell @slayedbythebell]

@norchcity Move schools!

Done!

[slayedbythebell @slayedbythebell]

@norchcity Simple solution... Don't be slt or a lead practitioner.

Solved. You're welcome... Next problem.

[slayedbythebell @slayedbythebell]

@lenny_96 @norchcity Exactly this

[slayedbythebell @slayedbythebell]

@SwailesRuth I'm similar when I go to the pub.. I worry alcohol is bad for me.... But by the 3rd pint I'm excited to be back and love the challenge.

Both the continual stress of teaching and alcohol abise will lead to an early grave 👍

First day ‘training’ & within 30 mins everyone’s checked out. Data, blame & guilt. Morale killed before term even starts. #education #teaching #schools

[slayedbythebell @slayedbythebell]

This bs is rampant in secodnary...

[slayedbythebell @slayedbythebell]

You can’t ‘chat’ your way out of a discipline crisis. Restorative practice without consequences is just noise. Kids need boundaries, not endless reflection time. #edutwitter #behaviour #teacherlife #schools

[slayedbythebell @slayedbythebell]

Yes!

[slayedbythebell @slayedbythebell]

Kids aren’t learning responsibility—they’re learning to blame. Teachers get the flak, social media rewards victimhood, and leadership hides. This is the bullshit culture that’s killing accountability.

@CCook4189735 In simply turned up the volume on the problems that were already embedded in society/education and acted as a catalyst.

[slayedbythebell @slayedbythebell]

@AIEducators The best way to deal with the insane amount of admin and BS is to 'plan' your escape from teaching.

[slayedbythebell @slayedbythebell]

@butlerd101 Just listened to 5 members of slt talk s*** for 4hrs....so similar!
