Good afternoon, sweet school it looks small in comparison to the large schools I have done SUPPLY TEACHING IN! I am use to LARGE CLASSES AND PLENTY TO DO. Thanks for connecting and sharing. I need help I applied to Ark schools for a primary teaching assistant vacancy in London, England and I am being under appreciated by someone and I do not know if this employment will work out? I would love to teach at your school I receive good vibes from you. Gracefully yours.
I really loved the part about the coffee spilling on your paper work.Now that is such a realistic video about the real daily life of a teacher!Much appreciated!
I have loads of friends in the UK and they think Americans work way too much, can’t take sick days, etc. I 100% agree but was always curious to compare apples to apples, teachers to teachers. I work 8:05-3:35 and it seems like UK teachers (in the day in the life vlogs anyway) work WAY harder than I do. I’m glad you were able to take some time off when you were unwell. That’s something we couldn’t do in the US. Congrats on your little boy and on your decision to leave teaching. Sounds like it was a tough choice.
I'm planning to study an Access course in primary Teaching along with GCSEs in English and Biology science. I like to work and support children with junior ages. I would like to know how many subjects does a primary school teacher teach?
I would like to be an FE teacher in Ireland. I am a Brazilian/Italian citizen. My education is: graduated as a music educator, master's and doctorate in music. I would like to know how should I proceed. Thank you very much
Hello, thank you for sharing your teacher workload video. I am sad that you resigned and left the profession. You are appreciated!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏I think you are a marvellous teacher.
Most of the teachers I know regret getting into it. It can be an extremely stressful and nasty job, especially as you get higher up the ladder. My wife is a Head of school teacher, she's been doing it for 20 years. She has just handed in her notice, which I'm really pleased about. There isn't a month she doesn't get punched or kicked or spat on.
@@TobNoach Where did I say she loved teaching? She hated. She obviously didn't sign up to be a teacher for the money 😂. So it's not the kids fault when they punch and spit at you? You're the problem with society. This country is so soft it's truly unbelievable. She did actually like teaching for the first 5 years, when she was just a class room teacher at a nice school. As the years have gone by, it's become a crap job with a high drop out rate. There are too many fairies, making excuses for badly behaved children and parents.
@@TobNoach You certainly wouldn't pick teaching for the money 😂. When she was a classroom teacher at a good school she loved it, but then she started teaching nasty kids that spit and punch in East London. It truly amazes me how people like you think, you think the children that are causing all of this are the victims. Yes the children should certainly be held accountable for their actions in my book. So you think the children that are bullying other children and teachers shouldn't be blamed? Truly unbelievable 😂
Hi! I’ve found this video really interesting. I am a Secondary School Student and will soon be choosing my GCSEs. I have strongly considered a teaching as my first choice of Career so far, wanting to teach at a UK Secondary School, but I have heard a lot of negatives on the job and obviously the pay is less than ideal, but even in school, I am already a mentor and I enjoy working with younger pupils and am determined that this is the career I want to pursuit, I was wondering if you had any advice for someone in my position. Also, I would probably teach Geography or MFL so I was wondering which other GCSE subjects would be smart to take on top of the necessary ones. Thank you!
I mean, what a comment. Not even sure where to start other than what a state the world would be in with no teachers. Speaking as someone who has been a teacher for 11 years and now has a job in the so called “adult world” teaching is much harder. I’d love to see you try it before you make ignorant comments like this on RU-vid videos. You must be busy working in the adult world 🙄
@@DisplayLady I taught school for eight years at Catholic parochial, public high school, Job Corps adult eduction and GED, then also community college. Open admissions public education is baby sitting and nothing else. Plus the schools are so corrupt they shouldn’t be allowed to either grade the student’s work or award diplomas anymore. We need to shift to independently moderated exams supported by online tutoring. Close the schools and stop wasting the taxpayers’ money.
@@marcmeinzer8859 so you’re American I’m guessing? I teach in the UK so if I’m being honest I don’t know anything about American public education. If you were a teacher though, across the Atlantic or otherwise, I cannot imagine it’s an easy job no matter where you are whether it’s “babysitting” or not. Kids are hard work. The “real world” is much easier. I know I have a son and being at work is easier but obviously we love our children so it’s rewarding but I would dispute looking after children in any capacity is not hard work. Public education definitely has its negatives and I know the UK could do better in terms of policy ect but not teachers. They give their heart and soul in a job that people think is “babysitting” or not even worth doing. It’s just not true. They work hard and they care and they should have respect.
@@DisplayLady Yes, I’m from the USA. To clarify my terms, and I don’t believe teaching is easy, I refer to open enrollment situations where it proves impossible to secure the cooperation of the kids, as being babysitting because they’re not being screened as to whether or not they’re even capable of doing the work. But admittedly, baby-sitting, so called is not really easy. I was a camp counselor leading wilderness canoe trips in Canada and that certainly wasn’t easy either. What’s happening in the USA is the schools are just passing everyone to make the administrators look good which to me is corrupt.
You’re so easy to listen to ☺️ I’ve found myself in a similar boat. I had my little one last year and just returned from mat leave. I feel like I’m not myself anymore and I’m constantly so anxious. I have started up an online business when I was off that’s going really well and have 99.9% decided that I’m taking the leap but just need the guts to go in and tell them that 🤦🏼♀️
Aww thank you and congratulations! Yes i think it changes you and your priorities especially when you have a little one. Yeah it’s a scary thing to leave I must admit and you question if it was the right thing but you’ll know in your heart and it’s always there to go back to x
As much as I detested teaching overall and had virtually no respect for what was going on around me in the places where I taught I will concede one point and that is this: although I used to fake all of my lesson plans, dashingly them off on the typewriter off the top of my head, I would read the textbooks in advance while doing this, and also write my own exams especially when teaching the self contained parochial class I had, but yet the actual teaching in front of the class cannot be faked, so I don’t want to appear overly cavalier, for lack of a better word. But I was extremely old fashioned and would force them to do all of their reading in class in front of me while I alternated between spying on them and grading papers and so forth this appearing to work quite nicely. I am not a big believer in homework. I was a severe disciplinarian for which I was always criticized being a crazy ex-submariner and then subsequently a typical merchant marine drunkard, but did get excellent results as a GED tutor after I got tired of working with kids and nuns, which was not a pretty picture, in all candor. And yes, I would attend cocktail parties at the convent and drain half a fifth of Johnny Walker Red or Cutty perhaps, and get made fun of by the nuns who’d ask me if I needed clothespins to prop my eyes open to which I would respond “no thank you, I have excellent tolerance for scotch because I’m a functional alcoholic being a Whiskeypalian”. So in other words, just because teaching is basically a joke that is not to imply that it is by any stretch easy. I don’t recommend it. I became a barber ultimately after shipping out for eight years with the merchant marine. The thing about barbering is you just wing it. If you’re busy all day you make lots of money and if it’s slow you can read at work.
Hi destroy lady so I wanted to ask you this question for awhile now unfortunately you haven’t been posting to couldn’t ask you this question have you had COVID-19? And what was it like?
Very informative video .. Recently I got display coordinator job so I really enjoyed watching it .. can you please more videos .. how to do copywriting for the boards
I found your channel when I first started teaching and I then came across you again a couple of days after I handed in my notice! Best of luck with everything ❤
Hey, I want to be a primary school teacher I’ve got 4s in my maths,English, science however I did not take a language do you think this will be a massive issue when I apply for some teacher roles?
Hey, it shouldn’t be a big problem. It would be uni applications that would look at that. Unlikely a school will be swayed massively by a 4 in French especially if you boss your application.
I must say you do seem a lot more animated after leaving teaching. In other videos you always seemed to have a metaphorical weight on your shoulder but not you seem a lot more …. Yourself??? I don’t know. And as you said in a past vlog, “The government wants an all singing , all dancing curriculum but there just isn’t enough hours to do it all”. Sometimes in life you just need to evaluate wether it’s worth it and appearing from your present personality I would say you made the right call even though the profession has lost a talented teacher. I’m just about to start a primary education with QTS degree in September so I’m going to have to go down my own journey and see where I end up. You have shown that ‘teachers’ aren’t ‘teachers’ but people with a job in teaching with their own worries and problems other than that in the classroom. How would you say the teaching profession could improve to have a better work life balance?
Hello, thank you for your comment I hope all goes well for you on your journey. I’m not sure to be honest. Probably an overhaul in what is expected in terms of marking and feedback. My school was very good in terms of paperwork stuff but my previous school was not so I think it can vary from school to school. It’s very pressured I. Terms of Ofsted and results, which is both understanding in a way but also tough as a professional.
Hello Many thanks for your lovely video. I’m a teacher myself, I would like to start a side job along side my teaching career. I’m a highly creative person and love displaying unique displays/ decorations for classrooms. Could you advise me on how to build an additional career based on my skills? Thank you in advance.
Thanks for sharing! I'm studying to be a teacher and it's really hard , it's rewarding, but sometimes it's necessary to take a rest. Hugs and blessings to your lovely family from Mexico , I hope you keep making these kind of videos. 💙 My question is...are you going to work in another thing? Or full- time mom ? Sorry for my bad English. Also can you give us some tips about teaching in the UK , because I want to move there. Thanks 😊
Thanks for the update, glad all is going well for you and excited to hear about life after teaching! I took a break when I had my babies and I never regret it. Its great you have a part time job doing what is clearly your passion! 😁
