Did anyone else have to wrap their books at high school? Why was this a thing? We got so told off if we didn’t wrap our books in wrapping paper or wall paper😂

Recording myself teaching maths makes me feel so vulnerable😂 I’m fine kids seeing me teach, but knowing the parents can watch it too makes me feel a bit ill

Half term should be called ppa week because I’ve worked 3 days so far and still have stuff to do tomorrow😭 I don’t mind working because it makes term time easier but then I hate that the amount of holidays always gets thrown back in teachers’ faces

Last year, school strikes resulted in 25 million school days being lost cumulatively. Children should not have to suffer a repeat of this disruption. I’m announcing that we will introduce minimum service levels in schools so that pupils get the education they need and deserve.

My job satisfaction when we have a 4 day week📈 It means I can actually have 2 days resting, and then the 3rd day planning/doing life admin. I’m then ready to go back to work and I enjoy my week!

All I see atm is teachers bringing others down for what they do🙃 whether it's twinkl posters, hessian backed displays, ikea frames - let people be. You do what you want in your classroom, and don't make people feel rubbish for what they choose to do.

As teachers, we often do strange supermarket trips. Last term was to Tesco for 6 packs of Oreos for teaching phases of the moon. Today’s trip was for 2 packs of marshmallows and 4 packs of spaghetti. Any guesses as to why?

The thing that bothers me about the unions advice, is that they want us to write to our heads. Heads and SLT KNOW schools aren’t safe. It’s out of their and our control. This is the governments responsibility.

If there’s one thing I’ve learnt this summer, it’s that 10 hours sleep is optimal for me. If I go bed at 10, I wake up at 8. Last night I went bed at 12, didn’t wake up until 10. I’d have to go bed at 8 during term time to achieve these energy levels🤣🤣
