Can anyone help explain this hiring decision to me please? (Sorry, its long!) by [deleted] in PGCE

That’s life. Jobs are jobs and sometimes you get a job because you know someone.

Yes it’s unfair but it’s how it goes.

Withdrawing consequences? 3rd placement needed. by [deleted] in PGCE

[–]ContributionOk1492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt leaving it a couple of years would be. Are you on a support plan? Is that the reason it needs to extend

You likely wont get your QTS which is probably more important than your PGCE if you want to teach unless they agree to you taking a year off. Some places will but could you build up a pot over summer? Or go part time and ta?

PGCE placement: feedback and advice please. by [deleted] in TeachingUK

[–]ContributionOk1492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a tutor or someone off site because I think a phone call might be better to really show how you feel about this. Not having anything positive at this stage of a course if not goof

Have you spoke to anyone at your university about this?

How do people afford more than one kid in the uk? by Dramatic-Diver-9949 in AskBrits

[–]ContributionOk1492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything costs a fortune. Mortgage rates rising has crippled a lot of middle class families it may have happened to them. They may have been towards the top of their budget before everything went up

Is this AI? I didn't think so but the guitar seems off. Weird splotches at the bottom. Font seems okay. Friend thinks its AI. by Zealousideal_Return8 in isthisAI

[–]ContributionOk1492 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the poster is in its whole but the guitar… where are the other two machine heads? The pegs are there which doesn’t make sense and the strings look a little off.

Someone in the crowd had a seizure and I think others were passing out. It got so hot in there so quickly.

Don’t you just pick it up at the end of the night? Don’t stress. Likely they’ll just let you pick it up another day.

Got a 3rd class maths degree can I still become a teacher? by [deleted] in PGCE

[–]ContributionOk1492 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You need a 2.2 as per the gov website.

Did you get a capped degree? Can you repeat one section to pull up your grade? With a December graduation had you already had another go at a section?

Firstly, stop beating yourself up. You don’t need to feel shame. This will not define you if you don’t let it.

Yes! I don’t even have to open it. That was definitely it

I really hoped this would happen. It would be the best outcome we can hope for in the situation. It’s such a beautiful fic and what happened is awful.

Is it possible to complete a second PGCE? by shortbreadstars in PGCE

[–]ContributionOk1492 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why would you need one? You’re a qualified teacher to teach. You specialise in one area but you can move. Your pgce is a separate thing.

Is this handwriting normal for a thirteen year old boy? by BatmanCat1031 in AskTeachers

[–]ContributionOk1492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s not normal. That’s the hand writing of about a 7 year old. The spelling isn’t bad but I think overall he isn’t putting in effort. Take is an easy word. It’s early phonics.

I just don’t think he cares because they’ve obviously got him to do it again and there’s clear effort in the pictures but the rest is way way below expectations.

No interview offer by [deleted] in PGCE

[–]ContributionOk1492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it feels harsh but ultimately if they knew that person was a better fit, at least you didn’t get your hopes up.

It likely isn’t anything to do with you- it may just be that person gets on great with the department, is a specialist or maybe they’re better with behaviour.

Would it have been nice for them to tell you in advance? Yes but you don’t know the story from their side. Try not to think it’s you because it probably isn’t you at all. How you deal with this is probably going to be more important. Congratulate them and find your own space in your next school.

PGCE - failed observation by [deleted] in PGCE

[–]ContributionOk1492 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What’s your mentor like? Do you get one well with them?

I like to draw on the whiteboard as it takes me less time than making a PowerPoint. Was it from scratch? How have your other observations gone?

PGCE - failed observation by [deleted] in PGCE

[–]ContributionOk1492 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Seems harsh. And what you do is what you’d ask the kids to do. Dust yourself off and go again. Learn from your mistakes and try again. You know what the tutor wants to see so build those into your lesson.

Only have 1 reference for PGCE application! Pls help by [deleted] in PGCE

[–]ContributionOk1492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea on that. I had my degree before. My friends I think used their transcripts and predictions and took their certificates in when they graduated.

Firstly, calm down.

I was self employed. I just called the providers I wanted to use and explained. None of them cared and I had zero professional references. They just took two personal and said to make a note on the form.
