My sister retired from teaching today after 38 years in the classroom in one school. No one from SLT spoke to her. No staff gathering organised at all. A card - that’s it. She dedicated herself to her craft. Turned down promotions. Wanted to be a great history teacher. 1/2

I saw this on instagram: Teachers are starting to choose their peace of mind over other people’s disrespectful children. I support this.

There needs to be some serious investment in more alternative provision for the increasing number of pupils not coping with mainstream schooling.

#BT. #BT_UK yet another round of calls and different stories from BT today. Still no internet and still no closer to getting it. Customer service is appalling- no joined up communication. Can someone HELP?????

#BT #BT_UK My daughter is really struggling to get her BT broadband reinstalled in her flat. BT cancelled AGAIN today (that’s the 3rd time). £50 spent on data for her phone (she works from home). Every time she rings she has to start from square one. Customer service is terrible.

Teachers are not afraid of failure. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐨𝐟… •False accusations •Not being able to support their own families •What is happening to their own mental health •The lack of teacher resources •The growing apathy from students •The growing disrespect

15 students have been walking around in the hallway all morning. Hall monitors say they refuse to go to class and all they can do is ask. Admin doesn't want to suspend, cause data. One of the students is in my class, emailed mom and she cant get him to go either. So disheartening

Why should teachers remain reasonable? (via @TeacherTapp) cogitateit.wordpress.com/202…

Reasonable Mistake

We’d got our schools funding and our pay to a good point. It wasn’t perfect but I think everyone was fairly happy with what they earnt and recognised that money was going into rebuilding schools so…

I couldn’t agree more. A colleague raised his voice to me yesterday (he was stressed and tired. I was so close to tears - because I’m stressed and tired. Luckily, I was able to simply walk away instead of reacting but this is not OK.
Mr S@steviestallard20 Dec 2023
Should be illegal to have to teach a 7-week then an 8-week half term in autumn/winter. Stupid scheduling. Can’t be a coincidence that I’ve never felt so low and easily fucked off in my life, exhausted + generally intolerant of people/anything. Can’t even hide it anymore.

She’s probably an amazing teacher but in my mind is not ‘teacher of the month’. It’s simply an added pressure to always be this stressed, pressured and perfect teacher. Well done to her but I feel so so sorry for her too!

Buddy of mine just won teacher of the month. She breaks down in tears in school at least once or twice a week due to how much stress and pressure she puts on herself. Kinda glad my "teacher of the year" days are over.

Being a woman over the age of 45 means getting to worry about your kids AND your parents all at once...while your body makes everything harder for you. 1/10. Would not recommend.
