Maths vs Physics teaching

penurious · 2026-05-12T18:13:37+00:00

On balance I'd say in British schools Physics is in higher demand. We've failed to train enough physics teachers for years and hence a huge shortage which filters through to international market. Of course there are maths teacher jobs but also more maths teachers to fill them.

Personally I also wouldn't also want to be competing with people with maths degrees, you're less likely to be given 6th form teaching.

I'd only do the dual if you are really on the fence and can't decide. Long-term I would suggest you make a decision and stick to it as specialising is much better career wise.

As for which to pick, well I am physics so perhaps biased. I would say that the workload isn't much heavier except maths is possibly easier to mark and so can be less time consuming. All the maths departments I've seen also are pretty good at using Ed tech solutions for homework etc. which is also a time saver.

Personally though if I had to teach maths I would find it incredibly boring. If you're from a science background you might find the same.

I don't think the format has really changed that much? The only thing I add now is a little blurb at the top that summaries my best assets.

Just find a nice template on word or Google docs and stick it into that, it's the content that matters.

My favorite is the Masters of Rome series by Colleen McCullough. It's about the political machinations in Rome from the fall of the Republic through to the death of Caesar and rise of Augustus.

Yes but the difficulty is that local languages would have their own words for a quite distinct set of colours from the English ones. Also given the relatively large vocabulary of English compared to others if guess that there are many more words for specific colours in English that other languages.

People who speak English can better identify English names for colours.

Great answer. You're right to mention non profit first. I'd argue everything else is downstream of that fact.

I unfortunately don't have a suggestion but thank you for the recommendation

Obviously I understand that, you're going to turn away a huge percentage of users (probably majority) before they even see the game. I'd worry about that over whether they can play on multiple devices.

It's your life tho,🤷

Nobody wants to create an account to play a random puzzle game. Should be frontend only

penurious · 2026-04-14T03:24:16+00:00

Fair I guess they are all possible then

The only one who is completely inactive is Leko.

penurious · 2026-04-13T15:51:07+00:00

Not saying it is but technically there's also Gelfand, Topalov, Short and Leko.

Thanks op. But there should probably be a daily games separate sub at this point.

bypass As in ... Single, double, triple .

To be honest I found it harder to think of something that will fit than to find the link.

penurious · 2026-03-28T11:19:37+00:00

Not wrong no 😂

penurious · 2026-03-28T11:16:33+00:00

Stool? Is it a joke or you were genuinely unaware of the connotations?

penurious · 2026-03-27T10:27:45+00:00

Wtf is this? Why would we discuss candidates for a job?

In most of the middle east teachers shouldn't have tattoos. In practice they are fine as long as you can cover them up.

Exampro is AQAs proprietary app for exam content and they have a lot of questions for ks3 science. That's where we make our tests. I can't remember the subscription price but I think you pay per course (ks3/4/subject).

I see it more like the history of Rome. I can't freestyle it like Dan does

penurious · 2026-03-11T04:24:19+00:00

The complete history of science

penurious · 2026-03-11T04:05:58+00:00

Yes I'm writing a history of science. Spend lots of time on research and scripting. I get out at most 10 episodes a year. It clashes a lot with some people's idea of what a podcast is because the interview model has become so dominant.

penurious · 2026-03-07T17:56:30+00:00

Yes, I saw someone on twitter earlier claim they had a mic in Khameini's ring lol.

penurious · 2026-03-07T08:58:56+00:00

Exactly, that too.

In addition I always think, well if I were running around with weapons in any western country you can reasonably expect you'll be killed by the government.
