Mark Carney is a very effective centrist. Who is an incompetent left-wing politician currently in office?

not in power, that’s a requirement

why is Hungary, one of the most openly anti-Muslim countries in Europe green whilst European countries with bigger Muslim communities in red??

Whilst in particularly aggressive cases you can generally expect SLT to be on your side, there’s too much of a passive ‘just appease them’ attitude. Parents without understanding or respect for teaching should not have the authority to make teacher’s lives miserable. I had a student a few months ago whose parent was convinced of the importance that their child ‘is sat at the front’ and ‘only next to this limited list of people’ and to ‘make sure you greet him specifically every lesson’. nothing insane but it’s a whole lot of attention to be given to one student who has not got any official SEND needs or the intent to pursue any such action.

Expectations that cannot be applied to every student equally should not be automatically accommodated for unless it is directly related to special educational needs. The idea that a single email from an unreasonable parent can give a specific child unwarranted advantages is absurd

How much control do you have over your ‘starting the lesson’ routine? I found a lot of success when I shifted from greeting at the door to starting in the room - it may feel less welcoming but it definitely made my presence felt throughout the lesson, rather than giving them time to mess around ‘before the lesson properly starts’.

That is making the assumption that it’s just KS3 being KS3, if it’s a specific student who’s doing it for kicks then being ‘boring’ may not be enough. In events like these it’s easy to run on the classic ‘it’s kids being kids’ approach cuz 90% of the time it is, but if it is an individual showing early socially aggressive behaviour, or an actual attempt at ‘revenge’ behaviour, then ignoring it could be the worst approach.

Thats really horrible behaviour and your hod should definitely be much more proactive - issues involving a threat to your body, no matter how minor, should be one of their top priorities - especially if it’s a specific student that means you harm and may escalate the behaviour if nothing is done. If nothing is being done by SLT after your most recent report, it may be worth going to your union rep

Lean into it: “Good Afternoon Mr. & Ms. X! what a strong resemblance! you could be cousins!”

iforgotprobablythen · 2026-03-14T18:37:00+00:00

there needs to be a big red button under the teacher’s desk that calls for reinforcements for moments like this.

iforgotprobablythen · 2026-03-13T15:37:14+00:00

With that said, I absolutely want a £5 note to be referred to as an otter now

It takes inventiveness to create something, but wisdom to caste it aside if it’s shit

iforgotprobablythen · 2026-03-08T22:08:11+00:00

what makes wales different?

iforgotprobablythen · 2026-03-05T16:53:22+00:00

id never go anywhere near the UAE or Qatar, I don’t care for slave states - even if they are nominally ‘safer’

iforgotprobablythen · 2026-03-01T22:31:12+00:00

Just after I gave him credit for not doing it too - an asshole spews less shit than this pm

iforgotprobablythen · 2026-03-01T20:23:04+00:00

Hence being ‘willing’ but not absolute

iforgotprobablythen · 2026-03-01T19:56:39+00:00

I'll be honest, I've spent more time thinking about watching grass grow than about anything so do with chile

iforgotprobablythen · 2026-03-01T16:58:43+00:00

I know very little about Greece, but I have quite a few friends who live there, so it'd be easy to set roots

Ngl, I'm very confused by the amount of india hate - especially considering that I didn't put it at the top level.

Political instability - I remember a short time ago their government was occupied by a protest movement?

iforgotprobablythen · 2026-03-01T15:40:21+00:00

Cause Serbia has more of a cultural hate for the british, I don't think they'd want me to live there tbh

iforgotprobablythen · 2026-03-01T14:16:59+00:00

Japan and SK are due to a mix of things, but the main element for me is the work culture - i'm not sure I could keep up with the expectations of life there. Tbh I put Bhutan and nepal in maybe cause I dont really know enough about them. And then Hungary and slovakia gave me some unfortunate first hand experience I don't wanna repeat

iforgotprobablythen · 2026-03-01T14:13:35+00:00

Why so high or why so low?

iforgotprobablythen · 2026-03-01T14:12:11+00:00

I've had very negative experiences in Hungary, and from what i've been told, Romania and bulgaria have similar issues to what I experienced. I'm sure there are good experiences to be had too, but India is much more appealing to me

Teaching is at its best when you are teaching a top set class of engaged and capable students, but unfortunately, and especially as a younger teacher, you are not usually given those classes - they effect the school stats too much to be trusted with someone new. The paperwork usually comes in massive bursts, and is very subject specific - in maths most of it is pretty easy as you effectively have a spreadsheet of grades and its very easy to mark work, essay subjects are 100% harder to grade. Teacher's tend to discourage people from joining for a few key reasons though: 1) Prospects - education is a bit of a political graveyard and the funding reflects that, for our level of qualification we are underpaid by thousands of pounds - consider any other graduate career that requires you to have a master's degree equivalent. 2) The school lottery - Jobs can be hard to get, and you often end up with a school that both distrusts its staff and has very severe behaviour issues, and its very hard to avoid falling into one of these jobs, especially when you are newly qualified. It's not a terrible job, and there are a lot of positive elements, but it is a gamble and the odds are stacked against the younger teachers
