🌍 Mr Strong Geography 🌍

Mrs S just had an epiphany. "Oh yeah, I see now. You either start teaching, then leave, or go into it late. You can't do it all your life." She's right. Anyone who has stayed has my total respect. I don't know how anyone can do this forever. It's just a breakdown. Relentless

I've felt so supported over the last couple of days. Just when I needed it. I didn't ask, it just happened. Luck or great management? It doesn't matter tbh, I feel blessed either way. Keep going people, we've got this.

I love that my school does this. I hate that it is needed.

@debbiewaycott Didn't teach them! But one yr 7 class were OK!!

@GeographyStrong sorry probably missing the point, were year 8 nailing it or did you not teach them today? Just looking for the glimmers 😁

Totally dumped back on my behind from a great height today. Worst day of teaching I have experienced. Behaviour from 11, 10, 9, and 7 was shocking. I'm lost for words.

@Kay22185351 Dropped the eldest off at Uni for the first time, so a bit emotional tbh 😂😂

@snowdropbooks You're telling me! We dropped her off today. So excited for this next adventure for her!

@GeographyStrong It’s a fabulous ride as a parent…. and the feeling never goes away.

We are very proud parents today! H got A* A* A* and is off to Cambridge! She deserves all her success. She's worked so hard for this. 🥰

@ajlang92 Pretty OK. They worked as well as they could.

@GeographyStrong What are your school systems/policies?

@Truthfairy74 I'm more bothered that "all teachers" must run after school clubs. Is this allowed?

Inspiration required. Other than sport related ones, what clubs do schools offer? All teachers at my school must run 2 after-school clubs per year. I’ve tried craft, comic book, board games… but never had much interest. What has been successful at your schools? #edutwitter

@Map_Addict I know! Just scroll past! Move on....

@GeographyStrong Why can’t people just be nice? It’s a massive achievement because it is what she was aiming for.

Wow! Someone replied to my post about my daughters A level results asking why I felt the need to share & would I have felt less proud if I hadn't. She immediately deleted it, but amongst all the lovely comments and likes, I briefly forgot what a cesspit this place can be. ❤️

@GeogMum @Wangdalorian Our students (Bronze) covered the cost of the campsite and a train fare or two. I think it totalled £25 - £30 max. How the hell are they justifying £250??

@Wangdalorian That is what we just paid for my daughter’s Gold Expedition - very high for Bronze!

@pps_re Thank you!

@GeographyStrong Well done H - enjoy Cambridge!

@KathyMi25429227 Thank you!

I've not drunk (drank??!) red wine for about 25 yrs. Was given 3 bottles as various leaving presents. I think I now drink red wine again!
