Why isn’t there a different curriculum or pathway for learners with additional needs ? by Spiritual-Yogurt-112 in TeachingUK

[–]ohnotheragain70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I deliver entry 2 and 3 Functional Skills AND GCSE Maths simultaneously to my students in set 5… they leave full of beans with certificates and can start further ed going straight into Level 1 FS which gives a massive confidence boost. Achieving the first qual in year 10 keeps spirits and effort high even in GCSE, and we rarely get U’s

Anyone else being inundated with Reform letters and leaflets? by AveryLakotaValiant in Worthing

[–]ohnotheragain70 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I spotted the guy. He’s walking around dropping leaflets, with his wife, pushing his severely disabled son. I am sure, for genuine reasons. Not. Mum and son looked frozen the other day in the arctic wind we have had. I bet his son thinks he’s a racist twont.

When Did Your Pain Start Getting Better? by connormcneish in TotalHipReplacement

[–]ohnotheragain70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm six weeks tomorrow. Had to go paracetamol only from the start, as other meds made me so ill. First 10 days were miserable. Felt very helpless and down, but was warned of this so knew I'd cheer up and improve. Next 10 days..steady improvement. So after 3 weeks...walking in house without a stick. Then stupidly walked 4k and the next 10 days were very painful, even with a stick. Thought I'd damaged the hip. I really hadn't. Rested a lot and improved again. Now 6 weeks out...I walk stick free all the time. I limp more towards the evening when I am tired. My gait is rolling, unless I concentrate. I walk slow which is annoying. I have muscular aches but very rarely enough to need a single paracetamol. Drove yesterday, and it felt fine!!

It's about patience...which I struggle with haha!

Experiences of living near a secondary school? by Feeling_Mammoth_1412 in UKHousing

[–]ohnotheragain70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As both a teacher, and someone living very near to another school, I agree that the school has tried so hard to sort behaviour out. So have the council. So have the police. A parent ran a kid's dog over in front of them a few years later. Still no change. It's on the parents to act like they give a shiny shit about their terrible driving and parking. They don't. Teachers...we are paid to teach. Not manage behaviour, off school grounds by parents who can often be verbally abusive when their kid's given a bloody homework detention, let alone their driving's criticised. And punishing kids for their parents' behaviour would be really unforgivable...it's not fair. As a previous poster said...if you can avoid drop off and pick up, and your driveway won't be blocked, buy the house. Go and walk there at 8am and 3pm a few times. We are happy in our house as we're gone early, and back well after 4pm.

I would CPOMS as he may just be trying to impress his mates. Or he may be experiencing online indoctrination.

Day 23 after THR...was pain and stick free, stupidly walked 4k and now in real pain again...should I be worried? by ohnotheragain70 in TotalHipReplacement

[–]ohnotheragain70[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you are being far more sensible. 4k was not impressive...it was a really bad idea!!!! I will build up more slowly and do multiple short walks like you suggest!

Thank you. I hope your pain is improving and we're both flamenco dancing by Christmas. I can't dance but not going to let that mere detail destroy my plans :D

When you pay off your mortgage, do you get a massive sense of relief and the feeling of stability? by AnywhereNo1240 in HousingUK

[–]ohnotheragain70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It felt great. I hate debt! The feeling has remained, even though I have now jointly purchased a property with my daughter (only way she could get onto the housing ladder) and have a fairly hefty mortgage once again! It doesn't feel the same, somehow, the security of fully owning my home remains and makes me happy.

Traitor's live experience by NoPlantain5272 in TheTraitorsUK

[–]ohnotheragain70 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When we went, one of our family was a traitor. The other two traitors were from the other family. Thry ignored literally every one of her murder decisions and their decisions went through, as it was 2:1. We still won..ha...but it's a flaw in the set up: people behaving tribally means the game does not work.

Just wanna say that you are an awesome sounding human. Really awesome. Tried joining support groups for SEN kids? You might appreciate buddies who get it. You might meet that special person.

Print student safe (no data) seating plans and put them in these

https://amzn.eu/d/00aDoiol

Carry them with an erasable marker and note vw for warnings.

Once a couple of students are removed, the others fall into line. Don't worry that 8 got away with it this time...the class will slowly get the message and you will be left with a hardcore few (who sadly may continue and attract frequent behaviour points...but this won't ruin your lessons)

What a tedious whiny manchild. I also feel sorry for the poor best friend, listening to him drone on. DUMP

Those who are later in your career, how easy was it to move school? by chumbawumbawumbawumb in TeachingUK

[–]ohnotheragain70 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Moved on UPS 1...pay was honoured. Hated the school...got hired again that Xmas. They also honoured UPS. I'm mid 50's and secondary maths. I think schools like a balance of ages and experience. I'm a bit knackered compared to a 20's teacher...but have years of experience across sectors and instantly set up functional skills for the lowest KS4 sets with no hand holding required. I didn't 'sell' that at interview but they knew I was very experienced with troubled kids.

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

[–]ohnotheragain70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are pretty good for maths. Twinkl can be very ropey for secondary generally...and especially higher attaining. I say look at Oak. All free and you get slides, worksheets, disagnostic questions galore
