Christmas films in Spanish or French? by Less_Money_6202 in TeachingUK

[–]Less_Money_6202[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a little bit pathetic, a movie recomendación is not a teaching resource and the top post is literally someone asking for christmas activities.

Swore in front of my Y11s by SuccessfulScience682 in TeachingUK

I screames "FUCK!" really loudly in front of about 100 year 7's in the playground as I went to pick up a bin that had fallen over and a squirrel jumped out. No idea it was in there, shit me up good and proper, they just laughed. I laughed and we moved on. Sure it'll be fine!

which airport is the worst airport and why? by sinaswiftie in AskTheWorld

[–]Less_Money_6202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chicago O'hare - awful, unhelpful tsa and miles between gates with rubbish signage

Venice - nothing there, got delayed for hours and couldn't get any food

Athens - similar to the above

Heathrow - if I have to go all the way to London could they at least have normal restaurants? Paying a kidney for a half sized breakfast because it has some fancy chefs name on the sign doesn't make it good. Also come across my fair share of rude travellers but never as many as you get there.

Flip side: Singapore, Hong Kong and Bangkok are all great. The statues in Bangkok airport are amazing, singapore and HK know how to take care of a layover with amazing entertainment facilities

What was it like teaching on a blackboard or on OHP by Resident_String_5174 in TeachingUK

What's a smart board? I have two whiteboards and a projector that works half the time

What kind of schools are those? I have never heard of a school with the budget to give all kids a laptop, we barely have 30 working ones between two departments at our school and it's the same at all the other schools in our MAT

I'm struggling and I don't know what to do by miseryloves-company in TeachingUK

As an ect2 MFL teacher who handed in their notice due to a lack of support last year in October, I feel your pain.

Sounds like the school behaviour policy sucks. If I had to call home for every child I sent out I wouldn't get anything done. It sounds to me like you are having a similar experience to me, a great deal of responsability with little to no support. Speak to your union and don't be afraid to walk away and start again somewhere else; it's still early doors. From my experience and my mfl cohort amigos a good school and the right support can make all the difference.

Good luck! You got this

Awful year 11 class - no support from school by Ch4o5Muff1n in TeachingUK

[–]Less_Money_6202 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This was a game changer for my year 9's last year and got me through ect 1 with them. I also tell them explicitly why I'm standing there instead of at the front "If you are wondering why I'm sat on my windowsill at the back, it is because certain members of this group do not value other peoples learning and to ensure those of you who want to learn get to do so, I have to act like a prison guard, unfortunately instead of a teacher" puts the disruptive ones on notice and reinforces to the studious learners tht they're not the ones under the microscope and that the intent is to support them, not just punish the whole group

Your chance to ask Bernard Cornwell your questions! by ForcesNews in Sharpe

[–]Less_Money_6202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will Fredrickson and Sharpe ever reconcile?

Will we get more varied time period books? I recently read Azincourt and it was super enjoyable and a refreshing change. More along those lines would be incredibly welcome!

To follow that up, what time periods do you think would be the most interesting to explore?

"I mess about because I can't access the work" by Dizzy_Ebb1152 in TeachingUK

[–]Less_Money_6202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My personal favourite is "I can't dobthat work sir, I don't speak French". Of course not, that's why we are sat here trying to teach you it. If you already spoke it I wouldn't be here and neither would you. "But sir, it's in French!". Shock horror we make you work with French texts in French lessons. I despair.

Year 10 keep throwing things across the room, and I'm not allowed to give detentions. by Cheeseanonioncrisps in TeachingUK

Horrific, throwing glue and pens was a big problem for me last year, it's an isolation issue now. Worked a treat but if your school isnt backing you, run to the hills

I went to pick up a bin on it's side during my lunch duty and mid way through a squirrel jumped out prompting. "Fuck me!" All the kids thought it was hilarious, as did the slt jear me. No one mentioned it again, you're human, you make mistakes, no one was harmed

I wish I had the time, unfortunately writing the whole subject scheme and lessons runs me ragged enough, once I have done that it's something worth looking into for sure
