@MrDanielBuck Along with those who refuse to work, heckle the teacher, bait the teacher - the list goes on for me I’m afraid . 90% of time, staff, and teacher energy is spent on 5% of the pupils. This why I’ll never move to SLT
@VinceBoley I don’t think it’s something that can be “taught” . Not in the way maths or other subjects can. It all stems from being a reader. Those who read often write naturally and just need the technical aspects teaching from my experience .
@RogersHistory Not enough characters on X for me to respond! But I’m generally in agreement .
Children (primary) , parenting, refusal to engage , “mental health” refusal to attend, leisure time have all shifted over the last 10years at least
Hi all,
We need an Assistant Head to join the Senior Leadership Team. If you think you have what it takes to be a leader, are a single man in your early 20s with a shiny, bright blue suit, scruffy brown shoes, a beard, no social life and called Brett, you should apply.
Thanks x
@Headteacherchat Yes ! And also “Specialist” : SATS Specialist ; Year 6 Specialist. I’ve been teaching 28 years and I wouldn’t dare just declare myself a specialist on something!
@Headteacherchat If OFSTED say it’s a waste of time tomorrow, everyone will drop it like a hot potatoe! We get our children to stick it in as a “header”. I think just displaying it in the room somewhere is https://t.co/duJH4g0Rdc’s done purely for evidence in book scrutinies - not for the kids .
@RogersHistory This first week off has seen me have the most disturbing nightmares ever! I asked AI what it could be and the explanation was actually excellent.
