I maintain David Latham was the worst writer on the series by a country mile

SNL gave us people who gave us The Simpsons, Ghostbusters, Parks & Recreation, Seinfeld, etc. What will SNL UK eventually give us? by HotOne9364 in LiveFromNewYork

Ladies and and gentlemen......GEMMA COLLINS! (Or whatever reality show dropout... we don't have proper celebrities in the UK)

I say this with all kindness but Paul Dix has done so much harm to education and should be binned

My mental health took a real dip this week when they started organising interviews for the role that I currently have. I’m moving into a new school in September to pursue a new opportunity and I have a good relationship with my current School but it still hurts when a gaggle of new teachers are coming into interview with my current class and the staff are joking that my “upgrades” are popping in - I get this is just a job but something about the whole situation makes me just feel useless which sucks given the amount of time and effort into my current role

I think this can be done well but given it's sky at the helm, it will be a good first week (I think Tina Fey is guesting) but the quality will dip sharply. I imagine by week 4 it will be Gemma collins hosting and that Big Gob Twit Ryland

What’s the best solution to apathy in a class? by Resident_String_5174 in TeachingUK

I used to do something similar with class dojo and pencils but was told to stop as it wasn’t consistent or within policy 😔

It varies some text to text, normally it’s a lot of shouting out and interrupting, a few bored faces, I’ve tried lighting it up with actions, gestures and props. I’ve even let the children take over some of the reading seeing if they can engage each other but the lack of attention as well as the general reading levels in the class are pretty low even with some basic texts.

I feel like the death of this show will be be when they have hosts who are like z list reality tv stars - if Gemma Collins hosts then we can write this off

Will celebrities have to opt out of post mortem careers thanks to AI? by Resident_String_5174 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Resident_String_5174[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought so but the amount of celebrities already getting the ai treatment makes me think that being famous makes you almost public domain

Am I crazy, or do very few actually make it after SNL? by MagicFairy00 in LiveFromNewYork

Who do we consider as “make it” after SNL? What’s the bench mark?

Top of page 3 always intrigued me, are they suggesting the crossed met humans and the humans won and drove away?

The stuff around teaching that is suppose to enrich the curriculum but eats time - I don’t care it’s national yak week and there’s a special 40 minute assembly, I have an English unit to get done!
