Best advice for maths teachers newly joining here
If the "knowledge" and "experience" spouted by ex-teacher "consultants" and the like were actually useful and applicable practically, then it wouldn't get disregarded.
In medicine, law, engineering etc, is it assumed all your knowledge about the field is gone once you stop practising?
Teaching seems to be a touchy subject with many disregarding your knowledge and experience, unless you’re in the classroom right now.

On Christmas Eve, please enjoy this little video of men being great dads
In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

In Waitrose. There's a family of two children and their dad. The eldest daughter, probably primary school age, is on the phone to mum getting instructions and relaying it to dad who is just nodding and saying ok

At the wanky artisan bakery to get myself an almond croissant and there's a man trying to pick up an order but they can't find it because he is giving them his partner's surname name instead of his own

Hot take? if you are making a wish list for your "friends" to buy you gifts from, they should be close enough friends that you don't mind them knowing where you live.
