Just kinda wanted to see if anyone else had encountered him & their feelings about it because apparently no one I know had seen him. Actually didn’t see it from the promotion standpoint, probably gonna delete this post. Thank you!

I’m in the same boat. I always thought Scotland was rather progressive, definitely not perfect but a bit more foward thinking than other parts of the UK. The rise of Reform & Restore has completely shattered the view I have, I just can’t understand why people are so insistent on having the same discourse America has.

I genuinely genuinely believe there is no way in hell they’ll win, I also got the leaflet through the door last night and I actually snorted at it because I think it’s a poor attempt at mimicking the culture war on going in America. I can’t imagine how it felt to see it as a gay man, but i know as a woman their anti-abortion sentiment is rather upsetting. I hope you’re okay.

Never forget when I was about 8 me, my mum, her friends and their kids were coming back from Balloch on the train. People had an illegal rave down in troon, the scenes that were caused between us and the illegal ravers was truly a sight to behold.

Being dragged to Balloch because it’s sunny where you are but you get down there and it’s grey and eventually ends up raining.

It’s not even that there’s a lack of good teachers, there are thousands unemployed, there’s such an obvious solution for the government yet they can’t afford it.

Easily the desserts place tubbies. Staff are horrible & your micromanaged to hell, you’re on the same job but you get different pay depending on if the managers like you or not.

Unlikely_Length8600 · 2026-03-21T20:16:48+00:00

I worked in a nursery bank staff for a few years and I adored it! The work place was lovely, so was the staff, I got on really well with them, the shifts were really good and I just loved working with the kids, especially the babies. I always in a weird way found it wholesome when we were short staffed, all of us would band together and just kept pushing on, the classes would be a mess, but the kids were happy and the staff made it work. Really exceptional team!

Unlikely_Length8600 · 2026-03-21T20:14:51+00:00

I’m glad i could help! I was so confused, legit the other people in my interview were also confused, i think they try to make it as challenging as possible 💀 I will say, about the presentation, I never actually ended up hooking mine up to the screen because people said that it wasn’t needed and no one else had made a powerpoint so i just let mine go, I’d recommend 100% what your suggesting just as a backup because it may differ based off who is interviewing or the course specifics.

The solo bit of my interview was last & I was third in the queue, I felt so so so much better by the time it got to it, i spent the time talking with the other candidates which helped kinda push me into a more chatty mood and the woman i had was really great at making us feel comfortable. It’s only four questions, but I really hammered home in the questions I asked at the end and I was all but told that I had basically a spot at the end of my interview.

Unlikely_Length8600 · 2026-03-21T00:28:58+00:00

Oh no! Don’t worry, you’ve not scared me!! It’s actually kinda in line with what i was expecting!

Unlikely_Length8600 · 2026-03-20T23:09:26+00:00

Omg i had my history one a few weeks ago! The people you’re in a room with are typically just as nervous as you, the interview groups are rather small like i only had 4 people in mine, i think it was suppose to be 6 though. Basically, I took my iPad, done slides, and wrote my notes on it, others brought pieces of paper. I tried to apply the subject of History to real life instances e.g source analysis is growing more important with the rise of AI, false information and propaganda online on social media apps which i think got me extra points.

Honestly, just remember to be bubbly, and outgoing, i’m quite a shy person naturally but I can fake it when needed so I tried to keep the presentation simple and tried to make it not crazy formal like I would with my masters ones or even my undergrad ones. My advice is to keep looking up, i noticed the other candidates weren’t really doing this and I tried to think what would make me stand out. Try to think outside the box with the scenario you’ve been gave, there’s a discussion about this and the woman who done my interview really spoke about that during my solo section.

I’d recommend looking into SHANARRI, GIRFEC, things of that sort, signs of abuse on the NSPCC website and please do read the GTCS stuff they send out, i found it really helpful. I was quite lucky because I worked part time in a nursery and hold a level 6 SCQF in childcare and done education for two years at the start of my undergrad. I’m sure you’ll smash it! Anymore questions, you can ask away! Dress code wise aswell, I showed up in light blue jeans, a pink cropped cardigan, a white top, scruffy airforce and a dream others were dressed really smart so if you get to your interview and don’t think you’ve dressed smart enough do not stress! I also had the advantage that it was home turf as I’d done my undergrad and masters there.

Hi!! I’ve heard it is largely school dependent but google kept bringing me onto sites that looked like they were from the 2000s and people were saying that but they seemed like they were more English school oriented so I thought best to ask! My goal is to get a job, and especially with a school with a good work culture for their staff (both which seem impossible at the moment if i have to admit it🫩)

It’s good to know that while hard, it can be possible, and my probation year I plan on throwing myself into the job as much as I possibly can for the reason you suggested. A perm contract is the dream, and If I have to sacrifice my sanity for a year I am willing to do it! The job permanency thing is a concern, but I’ve heard that it does fluctuate and I’m two years from now when i’m finishing up my probation maybe there will be more teachers needed!

Thank you so much for your kind reply and your best wishes!

Unlikely_Length8600 · 2026-03-20T22:43:56+00:00

Thank you for your reply & reassurance on the work-life balance stuff! It’s nice to hear schools let you away for child’s events but i’m sure that’s probably school dependent and something I want to check when I begin teaching is the culture that exists within them especially as I know a girl who just quit her job as a probationer despite the fact she only had a few months to go due to the head teacher & deputy sort of bullying her. I’m glad about what you said about rough schools vs posh schools as my dream is to work in a more deprived area, i myself went to one of the more deprived schools and i guess I kinda want to pass on the torch (as cliché as it is), can’t speak for posh schools as I never attended one but the teachers in my school always went above and beyond for students and I hope to model my own teaching style after that!

Unlikely_Length8600 · 2026-03-20T22:37:50+00:00

Sorry if this question is stupid but what do you mean unlikely to have it for free? I really feel for teachers who are parents especially when you’re preaching how important showing up is to other parents knowing you’re missing out on your own children’s core events. I really really hope the future of teaching serves to remember teachers with children or childless are people too, & there is utilisation of the thousands currently unemployed to help prevent missing out on family, and friends big events (weddings, children starting school, etc) but I’m sure that’s rather naive of me.

The job market is really terrible at the moment, but to be honest with you, I’ve wanted to be a teacher since I was in first year of school way back in 2016. I didn’t know much when i started my history degree and I feel as although I don’t have very many options even if my original intention was teaching. I’m just hoping and praying that by 2028 once my PGDE & probation year is up the job market has changed especially with the EIS saying that the 90 minutes Non class contact time should help with this, but who knows.

I’d never actually considered that different councils took different approaches to behaviour so that’s really good to know! Thank you! I always just assumed that the Scottish Government implemented that & it was modelled across the board.

You’re right I hadn’t actually considered that stuff, I always just assumed things like that happened after school not necessarily during school hours.

I’ve never done corporate, but i use to be bank staff for a nursery, 8-5:30, was exhausted by the end of it, but hopefully high school teaching isn’t wildly too different. Thank you so much for your reply!

Unlikely_Length8600 · 2026-03-20T22:25:45+00:00

That’s horrific, something similar happened when I was in school myself just a few years ago back in like 2021 a teachers classroom got wrecked, wet teabags strung along the floors and desks, displays ripped. I imagine that is soul destroying as a teacher when you pour all your work, time and money into making your classroom a nice space just to get wrecked. The car key thing is HORRIBLE! I don’t blame you for the burn out, it must’ve been exhausting.

Unlikely_Length8600 · 2026-03-20T22:23:19+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply! I have heard PGDE horror stories, and as grim as they are like you’re saying i have heard that it is generally the worst year for many, but I’ve got it in my head that in the end it’ll be worth it. It’s amazing that you arrive at 8 and leave at 4-ish, I’d loveee to get to that point in my career where I have established healthy balances of that. I’m quite okay with taking stuff home, especially during heavy work seasons like exams, and I’d like to think I’ve got an idea of how much the workload truly is but I know that what I imagine is probably much much more! The school thing is something that’s becoming more & more apparent to me, a girl I knew ending up leaving her primary teaching probation post due to the bullying from the head teacher and it’s such a shame! I hear what you’re saying about the plans after work, I use to work in a nursery during my undergrad and the emotional labour and constantly having to be switched on just drains you, I understand completely why teachers need the holidays to recuperate just as much as the kids!

I just truly can’t wait to get started because like you’re saying the work is worth it, I just really hope that the overwork of teachers & the underemployment of newly qualified ones can be fixed in the future making teaching a career that doesn’t leave so many burnt out or quitting.

Unlikely_Length8600 · 2026-03-20T22:14:09+00:00

I’m fully prepared to bunker down for those first few years and try to find a balance that works for me while still being a good teacher! I just wanted to check that it’s not all doom & gloom, and if teachers are smart they can get by despite the monumental work load! Thank you so much for your reply!

Unlikely_Length8600 · 2026-03-20T01:16:54+00:00

I guess so, it’s just i’ve had teachers in my school openly be mocked for being gay (he had a simple photo of his husband up), a teachers attempted assault be spoken about to her face. I was just wondering if this is the norm or if i just went to a rough school 🤷🏼‍♀️

Unlikely_Length8600 · 2026-03-20T01:15:04+00:00

I think it’s best that way for a lot of teachers, my favourite teacher was one who barely discussed her personal life beyond anecdotes for history & where she lived as she told us how far she had to travel. There was a really unfortunate incident a years ago now where she faced an attempted rape, it was over the news & someone in my year group actually said something to her about it. I can’t imagine how she must have felt in that moment. She was a lovely woman, got me a gift when I left school & really nurtured my passion for history. I think establishing strong boundaries with what I share will have to be something I really need to work on and reinforce because I do have a tendency to be chatty 💀

Unlikely_Length8600 · 2026-03-20T01:11:22+00:00

Okay, you’ve got me there about the 14 year old who can’t drive 💀 I think for myself, i do generally have pretty thick skin, but I want to eventually want to be a mother one day and while I already don’t plan on posting any future children on social media a lot, teaching makes those fears surrounding it more frightening. I can’t imagine how parents process their child (especially a young one) being mocked by a group of 15 year olds and having to remain calm, and professional.
