@missm_teachess Don't know if it helps, but I've been there and it can get better. Just have to ride out the storm, as tough as it will be, and come out the other side. Here if you need anything.

Genuinely at rock bottom. I’m currently signed off work and literally every aspect of my life has fallen apart in the last 48 hours. I honestly don’t know how it’ll get better.

Live show tomorrow Tickets still on sale but selling. Time for rewrite number four... #fear

@BoysBaltic hey guys, are Fringe tickets already sold out? The booking link hasn't appeared

@gwritespretty Fine by me!

@godofchicken I'm setting up some playtest stuff for soonish. It's all held over discord though, if that's a problem.

For my mutual nerds, if you've ever been interested in helping beta test a TTRPG, specifically my TTRPG, I'm going to be running encounter tests and character creations all next week, so hit me up if you're interested.

Actually delightful

Hey @grok tell me five interesting things about my time on X and my X profile/posts.

@canterburycc have a word with this complete tosser of a driver who just made a rude gesture at me as I knocked at the door with my young daughter because he refused to wait two seconds for us to board. Formal complaint letter on the way.

@grok @grok any other notable names?

@godofchicken Dan Bull.

Just testing this... Hey @grok, who's the most famous person to have visited my profile or seen my tweets? No need to tag or mention them, just a name is fine. Thanks

@grok And @grok the most famous person to have blocked me? Again, no tag just name

@godofchicken Based on public X data and searches, no users appear to have blocked you without prior interaction. Blocks are private, so I can't access full lists—consider it a clean slate!

Hey @grok, has anyone blocked me even though we've never even interacted? Name names, don't tag them etc.

@Tess_drinks_tea I've trained three over the last three years and each has got a job in their first or second interview and application. If you're struggling I'm happy to do some coaching / mock interviews / application critique etc.?

Would people mind sharing their experience of getting to their 1st teaching post? How many applications (roughly), how many interviews, how long (months/ years) ? Just trying to gauge how I'm doing comparatively. Thnx

@SouthendMacron @SUFCRootsHall What about online?

A reminder that our new 25/26 home replica shirt will be available to purchase in store from 10am today 🦐 @SUFCRootsHall

@SUFCRootsHall As much as I love seeing this legend, any idea when shirts will be available online again?

Juppy 😁

@misskprimary1 Not everything I do will apply in a primary setting, but my biggest tool is my seating plan; it proves ownership of the classroom and can be used as a tool to control behavior without needing to be confrontational. Can also be used as a reward!

Best behaviour management tips for an ECT that struggles to set boundaries, is too patient and is maybe a little too nice! Is there anything you’ve been told that’s stuck with you?

@_krogg @Team_English1 It's ended up that way as I've become the 'go-to guy' for humanities departments checking for AI use. Would be good to collab with other schools/departments on it though

@godofchicken @Team_English1 Sounds brilliant. It needs careful guidance at the very least. Would love to see how it’s looking. I like that you’re doing a whole school approach.

Have any English departments created an AI guide for what they accept and what they don’t accept in homework? Interested to see how others have approached. I’d rather educate pupils on how to use it properly rather than ban it (although that’d be the dream). @Team_English1

@MissAHadley @Gwenelope It's (cringes internally) about the narratology of Tabletop RPG podcasts

@godofchicken @Gwenelope What's is about please? Thank you, I may be in touch!

Any teachers thinking of pursuing a doctorate or PhD? 🤔
