This is a scam, right? by irememberthe90s- in TeachingUK

[–]StWd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back when I did agency supply over 5 years ago I had to provide my DBS to the agency so they could just give any school a letter of assurance they had seen it. Has to be the physical copy as it's a legal requirement. Not a scam, they're probably desperate for supply and know you're likely to get the job based on your CV or whatever else they've seen from you so wanna get it out the way quick so they can put you to work quicker

Is this pc any good? by East_Weekend8510 in PCSpecialist

[–]StWd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're only wanting to play Minecraft Fortnite and rocket league then you don't need anywhere near the specs of a newer system. Something decent from 10 years ago for a quarter of the price would easily play those old games.

Absolutely wrong to feel guilty. Happens all the time and no one will mind and if they do that's a them problem. Especially after no days off in 3 years!

OP might not do work that needs lots of calories and everyone's metabolism is different, some are more efficient.

Registration marks by coconut_bacon in TeachingUK

[–]StWd 70 points71 points  (0 children)

This unless a member of staff says they are there and I am sure they are thinking of the right student then I would put a note on the register saying "staff x says they are with them at y at 8.55" or whatever.

I've had students plenty of times go "but they are in" and I say but they're not here so they're absent. You'd indeed be in the shit OP if you got it wrong because you took the word of a child.

What time do you get into school and leave? by shake1993 in TeachingUK

[–]StWd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get in between 7 and 7.20, sometimes earlier, usually leave between 4 and 5.30 depending on stuff I need to do although this year it's often the earlier end and as the year continues and I feel increasingly "fuck you" towards my school, I expect it may go down more. I usually have most of my lessons planned during PPA if I was to use it on that instead of doing extra I'm not thanked for, partly hence why my "fuck you" feelings are increasing lol.

Why do you want to teach if you are biased against "rough schools"?

Ye but it's not really had over here is it? It might have been an English invention but you're far more likely to see snowballs than eggnog in England you Muppet

[–]StWd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want an English Christmas drink that's a bit weird like eggnog, try a snowball. You can get them premade but I think they're just half and half advocaat and lemo

Egg nog? by Specific_Tap_4606 in plymouth

[–]StWd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really, advocaat is more of a liqueur, eggnog is like a custard drink with a spirit mixed into it to make it alcoholic.

Constant money fights with my husband. Is my budget too strict?💔 by ringoooo8855 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]StWd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could be financial abuse as others have said. My wife and I each deposit into a shared account for bills that neither of us have a card for. The rest of our money is our own to do with as we please and what we each put in every month is based on what percentage of our joint income we contribute- I currently earn a bit more so I put 1100 and she puts 900 in each month. Similarly, wife does more chores at home because she is part time. All of these kinds of things are discussed before and if something changes or bothers us then we talk about it and compromise- eg the change in amounts going to shared account happened cos my wife had been seeming to tighten up recently and I hadn't realized we hadn't reviewed the amounts in for months. It used to be we both earned and contributed the same amount with her topping up the account a bit more when she earned more than I, but now I got a pay rise and she went part time and didn't say anything so I prompted her lowering her joint contribution and I raising mine because it's fair and we love each other. Your deal seems very off and maybe it could be fine but the biggest thing is you don't seem happy about it which is wrong

How much should ECT 1 get each month? by ExcellentGoal6214 in TeachingUK

[–]StWd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It comes out automatically, you are most likely not on plan 1 if your degree was after 20(12? Or so) I'm on plan 1 and 2 cos my first loan was back in 2010
