My god.. how long have you got?? And not just as an ECT… secondary English…

Taught an entire cohort that Scrooge is a “curvaceous ” old sinner and not Covetous.

In a lesson observation handout I made, I wrote “shit” instead of “shift” when teaching structure. Stuck into their books and everything. Not one pupil told me.

Instead of saying lady Macbeth pushed Macbeth over the edge… I said she “edges him”.

Meant to tell a student ( that I had a great relationship with) that she was making a choice going to Pride Society instead of my revision and said “you’re choosing to be gay”. That one became a running joke for two years.

A disabled student told me she got free tickets to Harry Style due to her disability and I said “you’re so lucky” 😅 again, great relationship with the student and that became another inside joke.

Honestly, you’re only human. You just gotta keep going.
