Throwback to the exam day when I covered my year group’s notification board with motivational posters of my cats

Tonight on @ttradioofficial.bsky.social Lianne and I discuss the ideal term time schedule (if there is one).

Teachers: Have you been given tasks so seemingly pointless that you can only stare blankly ahead and ask, ‘Why are we doing this?’ If so, join Lianne and me this evening at 7.30 (not 9!) on @ttradioofficial.bsky.social to share 🤯

Unless you’re a teacher, in which case every second of your 8.20-4.30 is already planned for you (doing work) and you have to save ALL of the other things (easy tasks and hard tasks) until the end of the day when you’re physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted.

Tonight on @ttradioofficial.bsky.social, Lianne and I discuss the enormous support gaps in education. What (or who) would help schools to better support students and teachers?

It's Spring Term! For most schools, this means that 'intervention' is kicking into high gear. Can anyone survive it? Does anyone want to?

Lianne and I discuss the next few bleak months this Monday night on @ttradioofficial.bsky.social.

Tonight on @ttradioofficial.bsky.social, Lianne & I spend another hour commiserating over... everything. Long hours, planning, teaching, marking, Ofsted, parents evenings, open evenings, trips, concerts, end of term 'fun'... everything that makes teaching this term so exhausting & illness-inducing.

It’s good when an employer cares enough to signpost staff to necessary support, but I’d rather work in an industry where this support isn’t necessary.

Monday 9pm on @ttradioofficial.bsky.social, Lianne and I discuss different approaches to teachers' 'holiday' time. Join in to share your thoughts! (I'm now off to spend my entire Sunday working because the horrors persist but so do I!)

If any teachers are experiencing self-image issues, this should make you feel better: A student drew this portrait of me.
