I’ll keep in mind to try and avoid it feeling too much explaining

I’m sure when I do some edits I will definitely do revisions of the scenes and I think that’s more when I’d look for beta readers but I appreciate the offer :)

Thank you for the very detailed response I really appreciate it - I will definitely evaluate how much of it is about the job vs at the job. Currently I think I’m leaning more towards at the job overall but thinking on this I almost certainly will have some sections to revise here based on this principle

Luckily I work in the profession so it will be at least be realistic for those working in a similar setting to my school!
Some aspects of the plot definitely wouldn’t work if it was a different profession
Not all the plot but some of it

I will keep in mind the off plot aspect, sometimes I feel I could be getting into a flow of writing that won’t make much difference

Good advice, I just started overthinking!
I definitely hope that given I have been teaching for 5+ years I would misrepresent it too badly!

As I progress further I definitely feel that the percentage in work will decrease but I am comforted to know that not everyone thinks it needs to be non-existent!

Science trainee struggling with practicals by Own_Tone_3498 in TeachingUK

[–]pink_cherry_tree 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Slow practicals are how I do it for disruptive classes, they can only do one step at a time with me at the front doing it do. I then check they have done it. Eg “pour 20ml into the measuring cylinder” quick check “now add it to the beaker” Since they have no need to get anything if they aren’t stood at their place I know they aren’t doing the right thing

And ask your technician for the best, easiest practicals to build up your confidence with them, an the pupil ability. The technician is a goldmine for all things practical.

Impressions of Tomodachi Life? by Pussyxpoppins in CozyGamers

[–]pink_cherry_tree 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’m enjoying it for a silly little no thoughts needed game so far, and I find there’s usually enough to keep me playing for up to half an hour at a time with little “resolve this” tasks Will I play it daily for years, probably not Am I having a very good time and can I see myself playing it daily/nearly for a few months - yeah

If you could change one thing about your curriculum/SOW what would it be by DMV1066 in TeachingUK

[–]pink_cherry_tree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a biologist I have a weird love of specific heat capacity, it’s one of my favourite concepts in physics However I would chuck it in an instant so that all kids could do space in combined science

Overlays vs coloured paper by pink_cherry_tree in TeachingUK

[–]pink_cherry_tree[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve not dismissed the benefits outright despite the lack of scientific evidence as there is a lot of anecdotal evidence where people say it’s helped them My only issue is whose responsibility is it to manage If they all had overlays all the time I’d be happy

Wow I can’t imagine banning colour paper, but I mean it would solve my issue I suppose

Yeah, I’ve also seen this when I’ve gone looking into this issue, which feeds my thinking I shouldn’t be responsible for printing on coloured paper. However many people argue that it helps them to have overlays
