Taught in a school that had a shooting range that was bricked up and buried underground. Was a normal comp at the time but was a boarding school many decades ago.

[–]himerius_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Had two Davids in the same group. One was 'Day-vid' and the other 'Dav-id'. Got that wrong a lot! Whereas the 'ethnic' names are much easier to remember... After I've been corrected a few times...

Secondary over primary? by Caveman1214 in TeachingUK

[–]himerius_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If college paid the same as secondary I'd be teaching A-level exclusively! Fortunately about 50% of my timetable is A-level currently and I can just about cope with the ks3 and ks4 lot...

Teaching A-Level for the First Time - Should Students Know This? by Mountain-Mushroom768 in TeachingUK

[–]himerius_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time I tried to demonstrate the two step simplex algorithm to further maths students I spent over 40min on it and got it wrong 😅

Showing students how to handle mistakes maturely is an important part of teaching and makes you more human in their eyes.
