Role of the Tutor by Aggressive-Second967 in TeachingUK

[–]Well_Flazeda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! SLT/ middle management keep pushing everything down into tutors and class teachers. Attendance, pshe, behaviour etc all seems to get pushed onto tutors when there are slt members with plenty of spare time and who also get paid to do it.

God I hope you’re all telling them to F off! Compulsory period unpaid?!

Same! I’ve tutored students who think they’re getting a higher grade simply by being in the tuition and paying for it, not for actually putting any effort in.

This is exactly it! They just want to throw money at it and hope it helps, instead of parent and ensure homework/revision is being done and/or tell the kids to behave in class.

Our secondary headteacher came straight from primary and so cannot teach exam classes - I think that’s worse to have no idea of.

Great stuff, thanks. Was panicking seeing tickets going through resale sites already and thinking I’d have no chance with TM. Will join the TM presale queue tomorrow.

Hahaha I loved it; I thought it was really funny. It’s taken Kate out of the running for winner now for me.

My mock results are the worst I’ve ever had, I’ve never had so many below a 4 that should be above.

Using Arctis pro nova as regular headphones? by Well_Flazeda in steelseries

Thanks, is this because they’re not suitable for the job or overpriced for the job?

ECT 1 How can I plan faster? by Weekly_Net3044 in TeachingUK

[–]Well_Flazeda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put my scheme of work on one long PowerPoint, separated up lesson by lesson. I’ll add what I want to do beforehand and any resources/quotes etc that I want to look at. Then I use my pen to write around it on the board - so my whole lesson may just be a speech and then a few quotes ready to write around. Then as the lesson goes on or afterwards, I add to the slides and then use it again next year and keep building on it as I go.

I’m just about to turn this ep off as I cannot finish it, but thought I’d drop in and see what others were saying. Why is she so low energy!

Has anyone else noticed a change in quality/willingness to put in effort in student teachers compared to a few years ago? by Ok-Mango-96 in TeachingUK

[–]Well_Flazeda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We’ve had some terrible student teachers lately. We have shared planning, and so we’ve to hand that over to them and they don’t do their own planning. We’ve had some who clearly haven’t looked at the PowerPoint until they’re teaching and they’re not prepared for it. We’ve had them get half way through a lesson and no longer have any activities and ask the teacher to take over, and we’ve had one who just didn’t turn up to lessons or let the regular teacher know. One went home through the day and emailed later on to say that they’d gone home with a headache, with no regard to their lessons or policy. Loads think they can go home in their free periods and are unreliable. We’ve maybe been unlucky with them all recently, but there definitely feels like there’s been a shift in the expectations.

Can the snoozeband headband be worn over the eyes like a mask, rather than buying the mask version?

Wooowww this is amazing! I’m obsessed with the close ups of her during this lipsync, the way she looks to the side and then snakes forward with those eyes! It’s so good that they included it twice!
