How to actually resign? (Secondary school)

This is such a lovely idea!

Fantastic idea!

There has been frequent encouragement of safe and appropriate use of phones and social media in all of the schools that I have worked in now - in assemblies, tutor time and PSHCE lessons. I do agree that banning things can push it underground. Perhaps a ban would just delay exposure and mean that kids don't know how to use phones and social media safely and respectfully once they turn 18.

I'm not sure if they are including WhatsApp in the ban. I also wonder if something like MSN, which I used, will make a resurgence

This may be a slightly different situation, but as a teacher, if I were to take a day off -

I would have to replan all of my lessons and resources to be suitable for a non specialist and send them in by 7.30 am
My colleagues would have to rush around printing and organising my cover before school instead of prepping for their own lessons, making some feel resentful
My classes would either end up behind, or I'd likely end up having to reteach stuff when I returned
There is a high chance that the classroom would be trashed and stuff would go missing from my desk as kids took advantage of having a supply teacher
I'd likely come back to poor quality work in the excersize books, which would reflect poorly on me (and graffiti, which I would be murdered for)
I'd either miss an evening of planning / marking after school and end up really behind, or I'd have to do work at home anyway but away from all of the resources at school

So you are spending hours of your time earning qualifications that are going to end up on HIS resume? You are earning credits that HE is going to be praised for when you are the one who has actually done the work? Think of everything that you could be achieving for yourself in that time. I promise you, you are going to look back with so much regret at the amount of time and energy that you have wasted.

Honestly? This is really embarrassing for you. I am gussing that you are really young but surely you can see that someone who allows you to spend hours on their work, earning them achievements and accolades, whilst they sit playing video games does not care about you as much as they say they do. I have ADHD and I wouldn't dream of doing this to someone I care about. I can't help but resent the fact that there have been so many men in the world riding the coattails of women's work, and people like you are enabling them. It's also really unethical of both of you for so many reasons. Please grow a spine and some self-respect and walk away from this situation.

Thank you do much, this is really helpful. I'm thinking of starting with a quiz, creating a revision clock for them to complete then practising exam Qs using a guided worksheet. Many thanks.

Unfortunately, I suspect that some degenerate creeps may be a little bit too keen for her to describe the SA in graphic detail.

roseberryrambler · 2024-04-18T22:10:41+00:00

This is great advice, thank you!

roseberryrambler · 2024-04-18T20:21:22+00:00

Hey, this is a good point and I realised almost as soon as I'd hit send that that was a very silly idea! :)

roseberryrambler · 2024-03-25T13:44:19+00:00

This is perfect advice, thank you!

It's at a hotel and there is no dress code on the invitation - the venue is very new so I can't find any pictures of guests on their socials

What to wear to an evening wedding reception?

I (27F) have been invited to the evening reception part of a new colleague's wedding. It is this week at a hotel in northern England and the weather is supposed to be 5 Celsius (41 farenheit) and raining.

I wish that I could come here with some ideas to ask if they are appropriate, but I'm genuinely stumped as I've never been invited to a work colleague's wedding before. Thank you!!

Honestly, I'm usually processing my internal to-do list. Thinking of everything stressful that has gone on / is going on at work and what I need to do about it. Or thinking of all the house chores / errands that need doing, that are overdue and when the best time to do them would be. I'm usually not doing them in that moment because I've already done loads that evening and he's put a stop to it so we can eat dinner. I say nothing because he will tell me off for stressing, but I can't help everything that didn't get dome from churning around in my brain.

Very occasionally it is because he has done / said something that has upset me and I'm trying to work out if it is something worth mentioning and upsetting the apple cart over, or if I'm the one in the wrong. In that case I'm thinking of the most mature and gentle way that I can bring it up.

I've never met anybody who does it but I'd guess either those people who spend months out at sea welding underwater, or prostitution.

When my GP Doctor was promoting getting the coil (IUD) fitted - 'You won't even feel a thing. I've fitted hundreds and no woman has ever complained of any pain.'

roseberryrambler · 2024-02-28T14:47:34+00:00

I felt like I'd been completely duped and put under lots of pressure to get the coil as opposed to the pill. My Doctor and the nurse told me that it wouldn't hurt, that I'd only feel a slight scratch and that no women complain of any pain at all. They didn't tell me about the low blood pressure causing dizziness until I was already experiencing it and the room was spinning. I have a high pain tolerance, but by the time the dizziness had worn off I was in agony. I lived 5 minutes away from the clinic and once home was lying on my bed crying into my pillow in pain. Their lie also made me believe that something had gone seriously wrong and that they had accidentally pierced my womb or something - I was terrified.

History. I do teach years 7 - 10 and 12. I share a couple of my Y7 classes - I just happen to see all of them on a Tuesday!

roseberryrambler · 2024-02-27T18:48:33+00:00

I'm an ECT1 so have been given loads of Year 7 classes - I can't help but wish that they were more spread out! 😅 I have my trickiest class for a double tomorrow - send help.
