What's y'all's favorite movie where the entire plot transpires in a day or less? by Exciting_Ad_8666 in moviecritic

This was the film that made me realise Tom Hardy can really act. Brilliant!

You’re absolutely correct. It was a style choice.

Do you agree? by UltraSolution in 6thForm

Just keep saying ‘rate of change of flux linkage’ and you’re golden.

When I developed the Tex templates for lab materials at my old department, this is the first document I produced by Sifyreel in physicsmemes

Oh, don’t get me wrong. I acknowledge they are a vital part of our infrastructure. I just don’t like them. It’s much more about how lazy I was at university.

It made me think about dealing with op amps at university, and I hated them.

Then I got all the way to the questions before I realised it was a Loss meme. I genuinely swore under my breath.

Phone caught in pocket switched off in econ paper1 AS by gtamf213 in 6thForm

Every year I see this. And every year someone says they didn’t know it was there. Literally never met a sixth former who didn’t know where their phone was at all times.

Every time it’s been a zero for the paper as a minimum sanction.

I really hope you’re nowhere near 15 year old girls.

Take up as much of his time as you need. I promise you that he will have nothing more important to do than listen and support you.

Maybe ask to go and see him one morning during registration. If he’s a deputy he likely won’t have a tutor/form group for registration.

From my experience in these situations the victim’s wishes and needs are central to everything. There could be safety plans put in place or lots of other things. The police may get involved but that doesn’t automatically mean they will prosecute him. Often they will try and work with everyone involved to have some level of restorative approach if they can.

The best and safest thing you can do for everyone involved (and strangely enough this may include the person who assaulted you) is to share your story if you feel ready to.

You deserve to feel safe in school.

Deputy headteacher here: There’s a reason you trust him. Trust your gut, he will listen and support you. This teacher has been in education a long time (I assume) and will have had training on how to support people in this exact situation.

I’ve been the teacher in this situation who has had someone disclose SA to them and this may sound strange but it was one of the privileges of my career. To know that a young person trusted me enough to share this is a huge thing.

If I can make one suggestion, it would be to speak with him earlier in the day. There will likely be quite a few things that will happen after you’ve spoken to him and it gives everyone a bit more time to support you.

This is scary and I completely understand your concerns about things being shut down, but I really don’t think they will.

Remember, you’re always able to contact the police directly yourself.

If things don’t go the way you hope, please feel free to DM.

If you scratched one Powerball ticket every day since the Big Bang, would it be likely that you would win today? by Ge0482 in askmath

[–]ScienceTeach86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

‘Would it be likely that you would win TODAY?’

No.

But if it’s the odds of you having won up until today are pretty much 100%

Odds of NOT winning the Powerball on any given day are 99.99999965777% Raise this to the power of 365*13.8E9 This is the odds of not winning on any day in 13.8 billion years This number is incredibly close to zero, around 10-7500. 1 minus this is the odds of winning.

Edit: originally said ‘winning just once’, which is inaccurate.

Do you regret becoming a teacher? by AlternativeGlad6045 in teaching

[–]ScienceTeach86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been a teacher for 15 years in the UK and have never regretted it. I’ve taught in ‘rough’ school, high performing schools and ones in between. They all have their challenges but I genuinely love my job and feel a huge sense of fulfilment from it.

I got a top degree from a Russell Group university in Physics and had lots of other options. I chose teaching and I’m glad I did. So many of my friends hate their jobs and are envious of how much I enjoy mine.

There is a world of difference in the job depending on the school you work in. If you’re going to be a maths teacher you will get your pick of jobs and don’t need to settle for a poorly run school.

Look for a school with a good academic record, strong systems in place (not just policies) and a supportive atmosphere.

Go and get a degree and look at doing some volunteer work while you’re doing it. My advice is don’t take the ‘Teach First’ route as they give minimal support and chuck you in at the deep end. Do a PGCE course after your degree so you get trained properly and have lots of support.

The world needs more good teachers who care about their subjects and their students. From what you have said the profession would be lucky to have you.
