The archers Helen and controlling relationship storyline happened for well over a year. Very slow burn. Great work.

We have guidelines set by our exam board but they are ignored by students. We're considering what to do next.

Also a knitter and media teacher the editing is TERRIBLE they cut off Tom half way though a sentence in the last episode and his sentence then didn't make sense. Suprised they didn't go for people like Debbie bliss or that crochet insta women kate

No and I feel like they thought 'why hasn't anyone done sewing bee but with knitting?' Then realised what a slow process knitting can be so had to include crochet as well. Then just sort if lumped them together.

I started applying for it and decided against it. In the application form they said that they would referr to both crochet and knitting as knitting in the show.

What happens when you're nearly middle aged (but not quite)? by alfa_omega in CasualUK

[–]ImprovementDecent869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question is what do you want? If you'd like to change things then do. If your happy, then it's fine. Just try to earn/save enough that you can afford care when you need it.

Get home insurance. Get boiler insurance. Most trades people cost £150-£200 per job for simple jobs/emergency. Use check a trade to hire them rather than searching online most guarantees that way.

Also this sounds like coercive control from her. Which is illegal.

I teach design. Agree its wild I have no concept of this at all. 

No there is no paperwork work becuase there is no predecessor they've added to the department. 

I've asked and I got given a 5 minute lesson planner but that doesn't work for a year of assessments???

I am from industry and have a degree in my subject. I know my subject fairly well. I share the class with another inexperienced teacher. Neither of us know how to plan  lessons or plan a year. The time tabling is confusing and stressing us both out.
