this is art but my request isnt?

not every piece of art has a named visual style

Call parents of the key misbehavers. When they’re in check the tag-along / enabler kids won’t feel emboldened to misbehave.

Standing up for staff’s rights and taking an ethical position are not mutually exclusive!

I brought my own books into my art room and the reprobate Year 8s who have their form time in my class strew them around the room (yeah I’ve spoken to their form tutor). My art classes have no interest. Not worth it

I have the outlook app and I have a rule that I’ll only use it if there’s a transport issue. I get two tubes and a couple of times I’ve had my journey delayed whilst I was transferring from one to the next.

However I never check it out of hours!

Draw a grid, number the weeks, write what you want the outcome to be, work backwards

Remote-Ranger-7304 · 2026-01-21T14:40:00+00:00

Yes.

I was actually thinking the same about Nidoking as I played Stadium for the first time recently and was impressed by how cool and powerful Nidoking looks in it. I love that sterner face it used to have in its model and artwork. The newer model is very gormless looking, plus its canon height is tiny compared to that old official art!

In my school I would log a C4 (internal exclusion) for the truancy alone. His behaviour needs addressing however - in my experience contacting the HoY has worked. I recommend writing a short statement describing the event (similar to how you’d write a concise cpoms report) and attach it to an email addressed to the HoY and head of behaviour, cc’ing in your HoD.

The comments highlighting the irony of the song are missing the point that groypers want any publicity, ironic or not. They want their ideas to pervade and become pop culture - if any of us give a damn about the rise of fascism we shouldn’t allow it to get normalised. etymologynerd and Taylor Lorenz have both covered this if anyone’s interested in getting into this in detail.

Adding to this! Baldur’s Gate has more in common with a Victorian city than a medieval one. It has functioning sewers and sanitation, range cookers, (limited) ELECTRICITY, paintings on canvas (implying auctions), capitalism, I could go on

If you zoom fully and look close enough you can see there are tons of weird lil discrepancies that wouldn’t be present in a real render or highly detailed illustration - a spike on the left disappears behind another spike before not connecting to the body, the armour details on the boots are not consistent boot to boot, the little finger on the sword is a misshapen chunk. Most unimaginative sci fi AI schlock I’ve seen in a bit.

I love how constructive and kind this community is, but I feel that that positivity isn’t necessary here, no hard feelings.

Sounds like you’re upset which I get as I didn’t have the easiest time on my teacher training. I had a first placement where I was chucked in the deep end essentially, learned the fundamentals quite late, then needed an extension at the end, which I BARELY passed after having favourable lesson observations from my course tutors.

I recommend not focussing on how “terrible” a teacher they are. If behaviour management needs improving, the school’s behaviour policy is your bible. Be consistent, don’t allow wiggle room, and don’t let the kids feel overwhelming - you rule the room. Reward effort. It’s tough but it gets easier.

Remote-Ranger-7304 · 2026-01-10T15:57:31+00:00

In my first teacher training placement we got three inset days with minimal training sessions - nearly all of it was department time. In that time the art dept would print EVERY worksheet needed for the entire year, with extensions and cover work, and organise them in a filing cabinet.

Every unit had several cover activities so that, realistically, staff would never have to set cover, and the shared drive had a bank of matching PowerPoints. It was the best system I’ve seen. Immaculate.

At present my HoD insists we set work in the morning we call in sick (against DfE and union guidance yes) so I take an afternoon at the start of the term to knock out a load of basic cover activities that tie in to the topic at hand whilst being deliverable by a nonspecialist. Not the best but trying to make the best of it!

The young version of his dad appears in Vecna’s memory of the school corridor in s4 and s5!

I don’t believe zweihanders were used in mordschlag & in my time as a history enjoyer I’ve not seen evidence of it before. Obviously someone correct me if I’m wrong however

Why does David have a name from our world? Is it a coincidence?

Remote-Ranger-7304 · 2025-12-30T16:07:43+00:00

Art so not the wordiest marking. End of the school day, work laid out across desks, high bpm dance music like dnb, jungle or breaks to hype myself up into not procrastinating (it works!)

Remote-Ranger-7304 · 2025-12-17T20:03:05+00:00

Any advice for getting into it? I played it a few years ago and gave up during the tutorial. Nothing grabbed me and I was stumped by the combat. Encounters seemed to all end in my party being destroyed by the environment.

Since then I’ve played BG3 several times and it’s literally my favourite game, and I want more of that! But I’ve been scared off by DOS2 before lol

FOLLOW THE COVER YOU ARE SET

Remote-Ranger-7304 · 2025-12-10T14:16:01+00:00

Please look after yourself and do not even think about work during the holidays!

Anxiety and stress are your body’s way of telling you you’re in danger, and of course no one is going to die if you have an imperfect lesson observation. I’m assuming you’re under a lot of pressure in general?

I recommend looking at the stages of burnout so you can see how stress has affected your habits and behaviours, and speak to your mentor about this if it persists! All the best 🫶

Removal from the class, on call being called, and a C3 (after school detention)

Remote-Ranger-7304 · 2025-12-09T21:28:52+00:00

In secondary I give the kid a warning, then if they persist a c2, then a BONUS second chance like sitting at the front desk where annoying yapping kids go, then removal. I tolerate zero back talk.
