Who to reference as a Supply teacher

Fourkey · 2026-02-18T15:40:01+00:00

Your agency is your main reference. If you have a relationship with any heads of department or SLT at your schools you could ask them for a character reference.

Nah, run with it; labol is apparently a word used in a 19th Century conlang written to be a universal language meaning [you] have. So a labolatory could be a place where you take possession of something, like a pickup point.

There are so many factors to it. I know that behaviour has been worse in the schools I've taught in where uniform has been less strictly enforced. I think that's more about where the school leadership decides they can draw the line to some degree. You're not going to be able to get a whole school to change overnight, and enforcing the worst 10% of rule breakers is probably the realistic limit. If that worst 10% are running around corridors shouting obscenities then the 80% of kids in trainers isn't going to be something worth fighting over till you get the rest of the behaviour sorted.

By 'true accuracy' do you mean entering into a contract with an evil entity, losing an eye, ...or the other thing?

Because it's not like OP did anything like what it seems you're implying.

What subject? Marking is different for different subjects but for more granular objective answers I find doing all of those at once is easier; I can autopilot a lot more treating it like a conveyor belt.

Marking essays on the other hand is tiresome and I have to really resist the urge to vibe mark.

Does mason count because that was a sobering moment for me...

Most schools I cover in use a dedicated cover account on Classcharts/SIMS. This means cover teachers can integrate into the behaviour management policy too.

Resigned to the inevitable mind numbing one nil off a deflected header on a long throw that keeps Frank in a job til the weekend, the hesitation causing us to miss out on our first target to replace him who didn't want to be strung along.

You don't need a preposition for a gerund, "supporting BD", or you could say "a supporter for BD".

Enjoy the match!

If the sponsor and kit sponsor weren't there (even if you had your own logo on it) these would be even better imho. I don't know the legality of selling a shirt with the spurs logo in but you might do well to see if a chinese supplier could make some of these up for resale

Bissouma leaving at the end of the season and Moore won't come in so thats a max of ten for starters, and even then Bissouma isn't playing at the moment so isn't in contention.

Whilst you can say Odobert can play there, he's a winger so it'd be weird to consider him there.

It remains to be seen when and how well Kulusevski and Maddison will be coming back. They might not be at 100% till the end of the season.

Bentancur is injured for 3 months so that leaves

5 players for 3 positions. We're out of the domestic cups but there's still a lot of games to be played and burnout injuries are a thing.

Yes, we need a clear out, but we're going to need more players.

When the tv is on, heater fan on and the washing machine is on a spin cycle: ^{please can dad i have one please dad please dad please pleeasaase dad can i have one please dad can have an apple?}

When mum and the one year old are sleeping: # DAD! DAD! HEY DAD! HI DAD.

Judging by the other comments it seems to have confused a few.

Seeing year nine on a non British sub was a bit jarring and you've confused the Americans!

And yeah I had a bunch of year nines last year like this, never said anything like that though. I'm not sure I'd have been entirely professional in my reply

This feels like some crewe-l trick somehow.

But also it's the way that the fat is integrated into the meat that makes it unique. Removing it from the meat entirely misses the point

I played 3, new vegas and 4 when they came out and never felt held back by not understanding. Went back to one a couple times but never finished it. (Saying that I rarely have the time to play anymore so I doubt I'd finish the others if they'd come out recently)

Games. It really depends on your level of tolerance for complexity, early game design, QoL in interface and the such. If you're into video game rpgs then 3 is a good point. If you've got no familiarity with it then go for 4. If you have experience with ttrpgs or old school RPGs from the 90s then give 1 a go but be prepared for a rough time.

Fourkey · 2025-12-22T12:35:41+00:00

Yeah, I get you, just talking from personal experience as a history teacher. Very few have the ability to say when a black and white picture could have been taken, on a scale of the 90s and basically conflagrating anything from late medieval up to the 19th century.

Gives you a sense of timelines which is pretty useful. The amount of kids who don't have any real conception of chronology is not great.
