My darlings, embrace the chaos! Revel in the absurdity! For in a world that makes absolutely no sense, the only sane thing to do is to go completely mad.

Ladies and gentlemen, I think it’s time we made peace with the fact there will never be another Austin Powers movie

@suecowley.bsky.social you were my behaviour idol as a trainee - is it more important to be an engaging teacher with memorable engaging lessons or a consistent one with high expectations

1. As a male primary school teacher in leadership, you know that there are certain expectations, especially juggling the demands of a full-time class and senior roles. Add fatherhood to the mix, and life becomes a delicate balancing act—rewarding, yes, but a constant whirlwind of responsibilities.

You know what I’m bothered by? Why didn’t these guys just use the star to beat bowser themselves? Could have avoided the entire issue

Is it possible to even be a fun teacher when poor behaviour exists? Every time I try to plan something fun and engaging for my class a fight breaks out, somebody swears or a chair gets thrown and I ask myself why bother?

Hi Dylan, new fan Mr S here, I’ve been combing the archives of your podcast and I have a conundrum for you - I’m a teacher of 16 years and while I used to be fun, toxic schools and low level behaviour has taken the fun out of my teaching, activities like making pizza or Christmas decorations

Listen I get that we were spoiled as kids (I loved the McDonald’s transformers) but this erzatz funko is 100% crap

Yesterday a child told me the phase of the moon when we can’t see it is called “cheese” - I genuinely don’t know what to do when I get answers like this

Do we have a Bluesky equivalent of the teacher #5amclub yet?

At the risk of dipping my toes in politics it’s pretty easy how we win - tell Elon he needs Trump to survive, tell Trump that he only won thanks to Elon and they’ll implode - we got to mean girls this shit

You know you’re a teacher when you’re managing your toddler with class dojo

Me: You have bear slippers in this house (in this context bear means lots)
Toddler: no no these slippers have frogs on them!

No one appreciates my slang 😬

Watching bird box tonight, as a fan of end of the world films, it’s pretty good

Anybody who thinks teaching is a Monday to Friday job, I have 64 to-dos that say otherwise
