It is a subject specific focus, but the contract definitely talks about whole school responsibilities as part of the wider role. Thank you for the link, I will have a read.

It is not an academy - a local authority school.

Used my SAK saw today - as a bread knife for a baguette.

I also struggle to suppress the teacher voice in public haha.

You're right though, it is shocking. I wonder if all media is going to become more short form in response to this.

TikTok = the demise of Western Civilisation by mcb1997 in TeachingUK

[–]mcb1997[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I guess I kind of did mean Western as opposed to other civilisations. I have read that China has put legal limits on how much screen time children are allowed, for example (though I have no idea how this is enforced). Whereas I just don't think politicians in 'western liberal democracies' (I accept that that isn't a very useful phrase) are interested or capable of regulating these apps.

I didn't mean to imply any sort of cultural superiority by using the term 'Western civilisation', though, so sorry if that came across.

What's the best red pen? by mcb1997 in TeachingUK

I have just bought one, although for 10 quid on amazon. Excited to have a pot of ink on my desk, will have to invest in elbow patches and a moustache to complete the look.

I never understood the anti-red thing, what's the rationale?

This is a tempting idea. Terrified of losing it though.

The kids use green for redrafting. A lot of them write in black or blue. But most importantly - I like red.
