I’m officially a QUALIFIED ENGLISH TEACHER 🎊🤩😩🥂

Today a student told me they have two guinea pigs and that they’ve named the hectic one after me… 😅

It’s throat infection season 🤢🤒 throat is on fire.

@njw_1986 @Ms_Wilsonsays @miniteach1 @HughesHaili Yeah it’s definitely down to how I word my questioning too I think.

English teachers...what do we think are the common student misconceptions about 'An Inspector Calls'?

@Ms_Wilsonsays @miniteach1 @HughesHaili Mine all hate Gerald this year 🤌🏽🙌🏽

@miniteach1 @HughesHaili I hate that they don’t hate Gerald!

@MadDnDTeacher Yes, we have an incredibly supportive SLT team 😊

@HeadofYear_ Hopefully SLT have had your back?

This week has been incredibly challenging in terms of parent meetings/conversations. Parents outright demanding they’ll ring ofsted if I don’t call back within an hour, when I’m teaching all day… turning up on site, demanding to see me, when I’m teaching… no pre warning etc

This. This is the most difficult part of the job. It’s relentless. Constantly having to defend school policies/staff/our outcomes.

It’s been one day with the students back at school and I’m completely drained. How 😭

This mornings spot 🥰 happy half term

The thing people often don’t talk about in teaching is how much of it is a performance. No matter what’s going on in your life you stand up in front of those kids and perform and if you’re ill or something challenging is going on in your personal life, that’s exhausting.

I absolutely love my year group. Even amongst all of the drama/nonsense, they’re a great bunch 🥹 just wish I had more energy and time! #pastoral

But also, I’m exhausted. I got home at 2.30pm and fell asleep until 4.30pm 🤦🏼‍♀️

I’m on a phased return back at work and the joy on my yr11’s faces when they saw me back and there overall loveliness has just been too much 🥰🥰

My dog just leant on my laptop and deleted a good 7 recent emails and they’re not in my recently deleted folder?! Why 😭

I have never been so tired in my entire life 🫠

@Asha_Samrai My yr11 class have also been the same🥹 they’re like NOPE mam is not carrying anything she’s pregnant and when walking down the corridor they’re telling everyone to move out of my way 💔😂

Never had a Y11 class look after me before. Since they’ve found out I’m pregnant they won’t let me lift a thing, they do their work to an exceptional standard so I don’t have any negativity and today one of them even made me a cup of tea. 11EN10 are kindness personified.🥹💕🥰

It’s interesting how teachers often don’t realise how other teachers need praise just as much as the students do.

Hearing that certain students in my year group (who I’ve been through an unbelievable journey with) are really missing me and keep asking when I’m back is killing me. Miss them all so much 🥹💔 I can’t wait to go back already.

@GeoffreyHargre2 Back in the day when house prices were also considerably less and not soaring at ridiculous rates too?

@jayneecook Hi I’d love some more info on tutoring but it won’t let me DM you 😊
