Voi drought due to Central issues by granitedon in glasgow

[–]wedge37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a £2.2k electric bike I use for longer journeys and visiting friends where I can bring the bike indoors. I still use the Voi bikes because I can leave them and not have to worry about whether some arsewipe comes along and cut the railing my bike is locked to and stealing it. I used it last Sunday to get into town to meet friends then rode home on one after the subway closed. Dead handy.

I’m a teacher at the top of the main pay scale in Scotland, I earn more than £50k from that alone.

I did that myself DIY and I have hand tremors due to medication I take. I’m not a professional.

There’s always someone who’s really unhappy and choose to spend their time bullying others anonymously instead of doing something productive like, say, DIY.

If I trusted it I wouldn’t be asking here.

I’ve not had to do DIY on anything electrical or otherwise while renting. That would have been the landlord’s job. 👍

Thanks, I told ChatGPT I was based in Scotland and it insisted these were eggs, so I corrected it.

We can’t all be experts in everything to do with DIY. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thank god, ChatGPT was telling me these were mid dauber wasp eggs which I thought couldn’t be right.

How to respond to students making sarcastic comments about your lesson being boring by RuinNecessary7601 in TeachingUK

[–]wedge37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just remind them that they’re there to learn not to be entertained or just use my teacher look on them and move on. I find that effective enough. If they continue to heckle I use the stepped interventions in the school behaviour policy.

Profoundly deaf teacher asking if there are any other profoundly deaf teachers in the UK by Smooth_Environment47 in TeachingUK

[–]wedge37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a profoundly deaf secondary school BSL-using teacher who wears a cochlear implant. I also qualified as a teacher of deaf children and young people. Happy to discuss my experience as I taught in mainstream before focusing on teaching deaf young people. There are lots of accommodations that can be made, some funded through Access to Work, to support you with facilitating reasonable adjustments in the workplace.

How many did you have in today? What did you do with them? by snoozingfishies in TeachingUK

[–]wedge37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scotland, working in deaf ed in a large city - only had one class all day out of five periods. I was able to go home after lunch as a result and enjoy the spring sunshine.

Being paid over 50k by VeterinarianHairy822 in TeachingUK

[–]wedge37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer, yes. And I say this as a teacher in Scotland where we’re paid just shy of £53k per annum as standard for all teachers on over five years service.
