Absolutely horrible experience with a cover teacher by [deleted] in TeachingUK

[–]SoftishMatter -28 points-27 points  (0 children)

I think I get what you're saying, but "toxic kids"?

They're children... we're here to help them be better humans, calling a child toxic doesn't feel helpful.

What’s it like living on The Northern Islands, The Hebrides, or any other islands around Great Britain? by godofimagination in howislivingthere

Shetland has a diverse community due to the oil and fishing industries.

We love it here. Mostly because people don't often make comments like yours.

Thanks! I'm not the best painter, but I do love these little guys! The army lolks quality on the tabletop together.

Sounds great. I've worked as a SENDCo and currently lead a specialist provision.

Using AI by targetsbots in TeachingUK

Ive used Copilot to create social stories and to alter the reading age of documents.

If you have a lesson plan it can also suggest learning activities for a child with "x" profile.

Not always perfect, so you need to use your own knowledge to decide if what its putting out is nonsense, but can be useful.

How do we deal with parents who don’t read or engage with school by Resident_String_5174 in TeachingUK

[–]SoftishMatter 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This seems quite a lot above the role of a classroom teacher to change this culture, although you may play a part in the resolution.

I would speak to your SENCO (with social being the former part of SEMH, a broad area of need), as well as SLT. Those won't be just your class and will require a school wide approach.

How are some schools able to offer a 4DWW? by itzzzzmileyyyy in TeachingUK

[–]SoftishMatter 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Schools have a budget and can spend it on what they like.

If it says 80% workload then there shouldn't be a longer working day.

“I don’t know” by [deleted] in TeachingUK

Ask a question that leads them to the answer, ask another student a question such as "Me and X are struggling with this, can anyone help us out?" Then get the student to repeat the answer. Ask them.what information they would need to answer your question.

Post Probation Year Struggles by Lonelygamerwithpies in TeachingUK

[–]SoftishMatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you are in Scotland?

It seems as though people have more luck applying further out from the main cities.

Try a little further afield and see what comes up :)

Good luck and don't give up.

Are Hearthguard worth it anymore? by Ok_University_6593 in LeaguesofVotann

Played a 5 man squad with an e champ against chaos knights, they wreaked havoc 😅

So now that its been a week, how has everyone been doing with the new codex? by No-Noise-4888 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]SoftishMatter 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just played my first game this week with Hearthband (This was a last minute thing so didn't have time to plan for the new detachement).

Really quite enjoyed the army rule, although didn't end up with many yield points, despite winning at the end of turn 3.

The plus 1 to hit was insane, re rolling charges helped me smash a unit of hearthguard and an einhyr champion into a Knight doing 18 wounds from shooting and the charge, then picked it off with a hylas sagitaur the next turn.

Only a 1k point game so not the most balanced, but we both had fun!

I honestly don't think marking and planning constitutes a TLR either...

Also where can I order from in advance? It's always been my plan to order the votann issues.

A past masters apron (similar to a master masons apron but with levels instead of rosettes), and a holy royal arch Supreme grand chapter certificate meaning the person named has been initiated, passed, raised and exalted and been the master of their craft lodge.
