3: Hogwarts, Wellbeing and an Inflatable Dolphin

1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,600
Ofsted inspector all finished
up.

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,000
I see I hope Hogwarts was to
your liking.

3
00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:13,400
I assume we have received
outstanding again Professor bony

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:14,800
fingers.
We're closing.

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,400
This school with immediate
effect.

6
00:00:16,700 --> 00:00:18,400
What?
There must be some

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,100
misunderstanding had a rabid
three-headed dog in a place

8
00:00:22,100 --> 00:00:24,300
where three first-years could
access it with a simple

9
00:00:24,300 --> 00:00:26,900
unlocking spell.
There's a 50 foot snake in the

10
00:00:26,900 --> 00:00:29,800
girls toilets and you lost 7
defense against the dark arts.

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,900
Teachers are all either dead or
in prison you heard of a DBS.

12
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:36,100
Check Professor Stony lingers
you see.

13
00:00:36,100 --> 00:00:40,900
Inspector, this is a magic spear
aney, the stairs move.

14
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,900
They literally flung a child
often last week.

15
00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:47,300
She still not recovered.
Well what can we do?

16
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,200
Nothing Professor moaning
knickers, you're going away,

17
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:55,400
probably for Life gross
negligence as caban.

18
00:00:55,500 --> 00:00:59,800
No, no, no much worse than that.
You're coming to join us.

19
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:07,500
Shit.
Hello everyone and welcome back

20
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:11,300
to episode, 3 of teach sleep,
repeat, my name is Dylan and my

21
00:01:11,300 --> 00:01:13,700
name is Hayden.
That was really good after last

22
00:01:13,700 --> 00:01:14,700
week.
I've been practicing, I've been

23
00:01:14,700 --> 00:01:16,900
practicing a lot of heat.
Oh yeah, I can tell really good

24
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:19,700
to know and we are back guys.
Thank you so much again for the

25
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:22,600
response to the last episode.
It seems like you're really

26
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,900
enjoying this podcast and we
love recording it already.

27
00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:28,200
So we are excited to get
straight in and you will maybe

28
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,100
realize if you're a teacher,
especially or if you have

29
00:01:30,100 --> 00:01:32,600
children that we are currently
in half term.

30
00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:34,000
Woo, Hayden.
What you been up to?

31
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,100
I've had a great afternoon.
Um, I'll be honest with you, I

32
00:01:36,107 --> 00:01:38,300
don't often do stuff.
I'm one of those people.

33
00:01:38,300 --> 00:01:40,900
I will spend a lot of time just
sit around doing nothing but

34
00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:43,500
this half time, I visited people
Gloria remember, I am a capable

35
00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:45,600
Warrior.
I visited some friends up North

36
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,400
so I couldn't be a keyboard
Warrior and you'll know this

37
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,000
Dylan because I didn't message
you every single, five minutes

38
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,400
Hayden.
And I, for those who know us, we

39
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,100
are kind of one brain at this
point.

40
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:58,100
And, you know, my phones in my
hand, I'm probably meshing

41
00:01:58,100 --> 00:02:00,600
Hayden weishaupt in that second
because I can't go without doing

42
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,000
it.
And it has been literally, I

43
00:02:02,008 --> 00:02:03,800
think, for days.
So you really need to fill me in

44
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,200
what you've been up to, is the
true bromance.

45
00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:07,500
Even on Valentine's Day, we
didn't message.

46
00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:11,100
Well listen, I had a great time.
I went up north and we visited

47
00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:13,300
the Lake District.
That was a great day climbs and

48
00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:15,000
stuff.
I realized I was really, really,

49
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,100
really unfit because we I have
think about 30 seconds into

50
00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:21,700
walking up a hill.
I think my heart rate was 160.

51
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,800
Yeah, not great, but it's fine
we powered through and I got to

52
00:02:25,808 --> 00:02:27,800
the top of the hill and then I
look to the mountains around me

53
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,700
and thought I was supposed to
climb one of these recently.

54
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:32,200
Glad that didn't happen.
You said close the top of the

55
00:02:32,208 --> 00:02:33,300
hill.
I've just got this image of you

56
00:02:33,300 --> 00:02:34,900
being really proud of yourself,
but we did.

57
00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:37,300
It was good fun.
I had a really, really nice day

58
00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:41,700
and then we had a really nice
day at a spa as well.

59
00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:45,700
So it was my my partner's, but
birthday during this little

60
00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:48,100
visit and we had a booked a spa
day.

61
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,200
So that's really nice as well.
So to just summarize there, it's

62
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,200
your partner's birthday.
So you took her away to your

63
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,000
friends, find out and I booked a
spa day for me.

64
00:02:56,100 --> 00:03:00,100
Anna, one of those backhanded
presents.

65
00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:02,400
Yeah, I got you two tickets to
watch man united.

66
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,800
Yeah, I'm already worried
because you're not the only

67
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,300
person to This.
Now I've had quite a few people

68
00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:09,000
saying, oh, you got spa day.
You are you going?

69
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,000
I'll let ya.
So you know for both of you is

70
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,000
it?
Yeah it is.

71
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,700
Anyway, what have you been up
to?

72
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,300
Well actually kind of our roles
have been reversed, right?

73
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:22,400
Because like you said, sometimes
you can just sit in and there's

74
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,500
been a brand new game released,
and I'll be honest, I've been

75
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:29,000
sat in front of my PlayStation.
Playing the new Hogwarts Legacy.

76
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,300
It's amazing.
It looks so good.

77
00:03:31,300 --> 00:03:33,300
I genuinely really want to play.
I might come on your house.

78
00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:35,500
Yeah, you can come play it, you
can play it but it just Got me

79
00:03:35,500 --> 00:03:38,800
thinking it was really funny
because I'm playing I'm playing

80
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,500
this game.
Obviously it's in a school and

81
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:43,000
it's a Wizarding school but I
can't help but draw these

82
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,800
comparisons and this thing just
really really made me laugh.

83
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,700
So the whole idea is that the
start you're going around doing

84
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:49,900
classes and each class.
You do you kind of learn a new

85
00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:53,600
spell so you meet all of these
professors and your learning you

86
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,000
know the curse for a fire fire
flame or the curse to light up a

87
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,900
room or the curse to undo a
lock.

88
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,000
And it said, one of the missions
was to go to herbology and

89
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,200
herbology is just this study of
plants basically wisdom.

90
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,700
It's and how to mix them
together to make things.

91
00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:11,300
It's like two potions.
So anyway, you go to herbology

92
00:04:11,300 --> 00:04:13,900
and it's basically is the
greenhouse where they grow these

93
00:04:13,900 --> 00:04:16,200
plants and you learn what they
do.

94
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,399
So it's the equivalent of just
gardening basically.

95
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:23,400
But for wizards fun and I want
you to try and work out to try

96
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,200
and guess you go and you meet
your professor.

97
00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:28,300
What do you think?
The professor's name was, I'm

98
00:04:28,300 --> 00:04:29,700
presuming from your tone of
voice.

99
00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:32,000
It can be so stupid, Professor
route.

100
00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:34,900
That would have been good.
I think in the real Hogwarts.

101
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,600
The real Harry Potter films is
something like that, so I walk

102
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,700
in and I don't know why it
should really made me laugh.

103
00:04:39,700 --> 00:04:44,400
Because hello.
I'm Professor garlic, garlic.

104
00:04:46,100 --> 00:04:49,400
That's a brilliant name and
basically obviously the writers

105
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,800
had a better day off on this day
be and but what they did was to

106
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,000
change it from the real sweaty
of garlic, they just put a K on

107
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,800
the end.
So yeah, that's such a classic

108
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,100
thing to do in like any kind of
fantasy thing, isn't it just

109
00:04:59,100 --> 00:05:00,400
just change the layer to another
one.

110
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,200
That makes the same sound.
It kind of got me thinking

111
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,800
though can you imagine, you
know, in second just go.

112
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,200
You got into food Tech.
Meet your new teacher check.

113
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,300
Hello, I'm mrs.
Quiche Lorraine!

114
00:05:10,300 --> 00:05:13,400
Oh, if you doing the wrong room,
my name is mr.

115
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,800
Algebra.
This is mad.

116
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,100
I don't have much experience
with the game.

117
00:05:17,100 --> 00:05:20,000
However, I have, you know, been
scrolling through Tick-Tock and

118
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,100
the first one I saw actually,
today was of the game and I just

119
00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:27,100
love the fact that it's already
been modded.

120
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,800
There are mods out there because
I was watching this video.

121
00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:32,400
And whoever the character is, I
think it's not actually Harry

122
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:33,100
Potter.
Is it know?

123
00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:35,100
You kind of make your own
character and you can change the

124
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,400
The looks and change their
names.

125
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,400
It's not a set character, right?
Okay, all right, so I was a bit

126
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,600
distracted anyway because his
broom stick with Shrek.

127
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,500
It's just flying on Shrek, not
the character was Shrek, the

128
00:05:45,500 --> 00:05:47,500
known as the prusik was Shrek
and hit.

129
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:50,800
This, this character was just
riding on Shrek, so linking back

130
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,200
to last week when we had another
catch up.

131
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,800
We talked about cream, next.
Remember how we much?

132
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,700
We love them and you try to
cheer me up by dropping me off a

133
00:05:56,707 --> 00:05:58,500
box of five premix, right?
Oh yeah.

134
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,400
So linking to that.
I wanted you to tell you've been

135
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,100
trumped.
You have been absolutely because

136
00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:05,000
some this week by my friends.
Okay.

137
00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:07,000
Because I turned out to my
friends house.

138
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,400
We went around and I was in the
kitchen.

139
00:06:09,700 --> 00:06:11,200
They walked in and said, close
your eyes.

140
00:06:11,300 --> 00:06:13,900
So okay, so close my eyes.
But your hands out.

141
00:06:13,900 --> 00:06:16,100
Put my hands out and straight
away.

142
00:06:16,100 --> 00:06:19,100
I knew I had blood into my
hands, right?

143
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,600
And they said guess what?
That is, there was no that

144
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,000
didn't skip a beat.
There was no there was no pause.

145
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
There was nothing cream eggs.
Like, yep.

146
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,100
And opened not a box of five
Hayden a box of 10.

147
00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:32,800
Not a cream eggs, not a
succulent box of 50.

148
00:06:33,100 --> 00:06:34,200
What have you got?
No, no.

149
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:40,000
Firefox, a super succulent for
10 bucks, you know the sound.

150
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Well don't you?
I do.

151
00:06:42,100 --> 00:06:44,200
And we sound like as I drop.
Yeah.

152
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,200
I had the third and and kind of
just feeling it.

153
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,900
It was 10.
I knew straight away and they

154
00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:53,200
were preparing dinner and like a
child, I am before I even

155
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,700
registered there in my hand, I
had one on wrapped in my mouth.

156
00:06:55,700 --> 00:07:01,100
Ready.
So you do like guys you know me

157
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,700
me having this one Cream Egg
will not affect my dinner at

158
00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:05,100
all, but what did affect my
dinner?

159
00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:07,900
What I had five at the, I was a
bit boring class ridiculous.

160
00:07:07,900 --> 00:07:09,500
We've done this before, by the
way, I'm just going to say right

161
00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:13,000
now because I mean, you have
talked about this how we just

162
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,300
are such like Primal beings
because we just, maybe it's just

163
00:07:17,300 --> 00:07:20,200
me and you, but we just eat
stuff and don't even know, we've

164
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,900
eaten it until like five minutes
late.

165
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:24,400
There's a rapper in my hand and
I don't know, I guess I've eaten

166
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,400
that.
I'll go to maybe like it's

167
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,800
lunchtime on a Monday, right?
And maybe I've left my lunch at

168
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,000
home and I'm going to go to the
shop quickly, just to get my

169
00:07:31,008 --> 00:07:33,900
lunch and I think, oh, I'll just
buy a couple of multi back

170
00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:36,400
things just because it will ask
for the A week, maybe by multi

171
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,200
pack of six crisps or something,
some salt vinegar crisps and I'm

172
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,900
really back.
I've had one on the way back.

173
00:07:42,900 --> 00:07:45,000
By the way to school, I just
walking back from the shop

174
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,400
already in one of them and I put
my cupboard about call S5, left

175
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,500
one for each day of the week.
Monday going home.

176
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,300
No Chris left.
Yeah, there's no way they made

177
00:07:54,300 --> 00:07:55,300
it to the end of the day with
you.

178
00:07:55,300 --> 00:07:57,100
I know what you're like problem
is.

179
00:07:57,100 --> 00:07:58,900
I'm exactly the same, especially
with the staff room.

180
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,700
Oh man, if there's some goodies
in the staff room, I just can't.

181
00:08:02,700 --> 00:08:04,900
I can't help it.
I think I've got a problem.

182
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,400
Because I'm already getting a
name for myself people, don't

183
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,100
people at work?
Just say no, I will eat

184
00:08:09,100 --> 00:08:11,300
everything, I'll Hoover it up is
terrible.

185
00:08:11,300 --> 00:08:13,600
Sorry, I've got to just come in
here because you're not just

186
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:14,800
getting a name for yourself
Hayden.

187
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,700
You've got at least one maybe
two Tas who exclusively make

188
00:08:19,700 --> 00:08:22,900
payments that they know you like
because they'll know they'll get

189
00:08:22,900 --> 00:08:25,400
eaten in the star.
For, I mean, the teacher in the

190
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,500
room next to me who's a very
good friend of mine, which is

191
00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:31,900
important for this story, but
still buys food in her weekly

192
00:08:31,900 --> 00:08:34,900
shop specifically for her
cupboard, for me.

193
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,200
Break time.
When I honestly because I guess

194
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,900
I go rating, I just go around.
Anyone got any?

195
00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:43,100
And I'm gonna be snacks and I'll
just going to her hair.

196
00:08:43,100 --> 00:08:45,400
Which is like yeah, you know.
It is into a cupboard.

197
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,200
I know my little snack drawer.
Yeah, I know my little spot, you

198
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,000
know, I mean, I just, I just eat
the snacks.

199
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,200
It's funny because I've
actually, they said that I'm, I

200
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,200
can't go into too much here, but
how ridiculous?

201
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,800
That is because I have that in
your home, for me.

202
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,500
When I come around and your
partner, that's your weekly.

203
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,100
That's true.
You know, I'm thinking of is a

204
00:09:04,108 --> 00:09:07,300
particular drink, but is only in
the fridge for you because oh,

205
00:09:07,300 --> 00:09:08,600
that's sweet.
Sweet Pepsi.

206
00:09:08,700 --> 00:09:10,000
That's sweet.
Sweet Betsy.

207
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,200
Not just Pepsi Dylan, it's Pepsi
maximum flavor, maximum Sugar

208
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,700
Smacks.
So I'll drink Pepsi Max have.

209
00:09:19,700 --> 00:09:21,500
I'm trying to be good could
because you don't know that

210
00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:24,700
Sugar going into your body.
Although I do sometimes have the

211
00:09:24,700 --> 00:09:26,900
other version but never mind
Pepsi Max.

212
00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:30,200
I said to Hayden argue any Pepsi
Max and he was like yeah he go

213
00:09:30,300 --> 00:09:32,400
you're not trying to be good.
I was like yeah Pepsi Max.

214
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,300
Manuel and I said yeah Pepsi Max
that's that's the Mantra in the

215
00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:39,200
sugar and Hayden without
blinking without even trying to

216
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,700
make a joke.
This look of confusion in his

217
00:09:41,700 --> 00:09:43,100
eyes.
It's because what I thought.

218
00:09:43,100 --> 00:09:46,300
Max meant maximum flavor,
maximum sheer nonsense, it's

219
00:09:46,300 --> 00:09:49,800
nonsense, it makes nut, come on
the word Max is like a good

220
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,800
thing so it's like I want
flavor, you know, maximum flavor

221
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,200
and we all know flavor comes
from the bad stuff sugar, Pepsi

222
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,900
Max to me it I still to this
day, it doesn't make sense to

223
00:09:57,900 --> 00:10:00,600
me.
Pepsi Max is like the ultimate

224
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:01,800
sugar 1.
I'm sorry guys.

225
00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:04,800
Of the idea of you going on like
a health kick and then I'm going

226
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,400
to be good.
I'm gonna be really good none of

227
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,700
this Pepsi Max announcements.
Give me that normal Pepsi care

228
00:10:09,700 --> 00:10:11,400
that down.
I've had two cats today.

229
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:12,700
Don't you proud of me?
Yeah.

230
00:10:12,700 --> 00:10:13,700
Why can't they just call it
Diet?

231
00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:16,100
Pepsi honest, it does Diet Pepsi
exist as well because it

232
00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:18,100
doesn't, that's that's, that's
crazy.

233
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:20,800
Why, to be honest with you, I
don't know some kind of

234
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,500
marketing but anyway, anyway we
digress, let's bring ourselves

235
00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:28,400
back around because what I
wanted to talk about this week

236
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,700
does actually link to something
that happened in last times

237
00:10:30,700 --> 00:10:32,100
podcast and it was really quite
funny.

238
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,700
Because those of you who listen
to episode 2 will know that our

239
00:10:35,700 --> 00:10:39,300
opening last week was a fake
sponsorship.

240
00:10:39,300 --> 00:10:43,100
But the funny thing is that it
was kind of lost that some

241
00:10:43,100 --> 00:10:49,800
people and they didn't realize
that it was actually yeah I'd

242
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,600
loads of messages about sponsors
our congratulations and I was

243
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,500
like I hate to tell ya I'll tell
you what, I've had nothing but

244
00:10:56,500 --> 00:10:59,000
positive T and I've been really,
really, really, really happy

245
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,600
with the response because doing
something like this not

246
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,500
necessarily Apprehensive about
it.

247
00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:05,800
But you do think putting
yourself out there a bit and

248
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,100
just having a chat over?
See, who cares?

249
00:11:08,100 --> 00:11:10,400
Who's going to listen to this,
but the responses have been

250
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,300
really, really nice, really,
really, really positive.

251
00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:13,600
And we really do appreciate
them.

252
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,400
So thanks I still think that.
Who cares?

253
00:11:16,100 --> 00:11:19,500
Who's listening to this?
Well, I'm sorry guys.

254
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:24,200
Let's not tell our audience.
Straighten are faced with guys

255
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,200
on horses, just be off now get
it honestly go down the pub

256
00:11:28,300 --> 00:11:31,600
Jesus Christ.
We've actually had quite a big

257
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,800
response to say.
That email that you really

258
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,500
kindly took the Mickey out.
Yeah, I'm not going to read that

259
00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:37,500
again.
It's so long.

260
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:39,700
What if anyone wants to know
what it is.

261
00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:43,700
It's teach sleep, repeat POD at
gmail.com and if you've got any

262
00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:45,700
funny stories send them to us
because we're going to feature

263
00:11:45,700 --> 00:11:48,600
them and I'm really really
really excited to say we have

264
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,200
one for today's podcast so we're
going to do at the end, so stay

265
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,600
tuned for that.
But I think what we need to do

266
00:11:53,608 --> 00:11:56,700
now is get into the main bulk of
this podcast which is talking

267
00:11:56,700 --> 00:11:58,400
about well-being.
Because like we said that link

268
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,300
to our sponsor from last week.
What we were doing was just

269
00:12:01,300 --> 00:12:05,000
highlighting But some schools
fall into the Trap of doing is

270
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,600
kind of what I like to call
checkbox well-being, well-being,

271
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,900
ideas for the sake of it, to say
they've done something, which

272
00:12:11,900 --> 00:12:16,100
actually don't have a positive
effect on staff and sometimes

273
00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:20,400
end up having a negative effect.
It's not even neutral so I

274
00:12:20,408 --> 00:12:21,600
thought we could talk about
Hayden.

275
00:12:22,300 --> 00:12:25,100
It's just teacher well-being in
general, some good ideas, some

276
00:12:25,100 --> 00:12:27,200
bad ideas.
What state the profession is in

277
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,300
right now and see where the
discussion takes us.

278
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,600
For me well-being is one of
those massive issues globally By

279
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,300
the looks of it.
Just from a little bit of

280
00:12:34,300 --> 00:12:36,800
reading earlier, about sort of
the state of teaching in

281
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,200
different countries that just
hide the no, it doesn't.

282
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,400
It just feels like it's not
really being addressed like, is

283
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,400
it improving?
Because it doesn't feel like it

284
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,300
is improving all these, from
what I hear from other people,

285
00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:49,300
when what I read because it's
hot, you know, you can't just

286
00:12:49,300 --> 00:12:51,200
take it on a like an individual
basis.

287
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,500
If we happen to work in a school
that had that, as I did really

288
00:12:54,500 --> 00:12:56,600
well with well-being.
Then we couldn't say, oh yeah,

289
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,300
it's great in this country.
We kind of have to look at what

290
00:12:59,300 --> 00:13:01,400
everyone thinks and that's the
problem with kind of those

291
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,700
personal stories because Is
don't get me wrong, there's

292
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:06,500
personal stories are so
important because this thing how

293
00:13:06,500 --> 00:13:09,300
someone's experiences are,
that's vital to understanding

294
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:12,100
the problem, but it's good
sometimes to step back and take

295
00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:13,900
an empirical look.
And I've actually got some stats

296
00:13:13,900 --> 00:13:17,100
here from education support
their this charity set up in the

297
00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:21,300
UK solely to try and help
teachers and support staff of

298
00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:23,900
well-being and schools.
And these stats are quite

299
00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:25,200
frightening.
So I'm going to fire some at you

300
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,400
right now.
Hayden, see what you think about

301
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,700
them.
This is from the teacher

302
00:13:27,700 --> 00:13:30,300
well-being index and they're
scary.

303
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,300
So 59 percent of Staff have It
leaving the sector in the past

304
00:13:34,300 --> 00:13:38,000
academic year due to pressures
on their mental health and

305
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,500
well-being, 55% of Staff of
actively sought to change or

306
00:13:41,500 --> 00:13:44,500
leave.
Their current job. 68% of Staff,

307
00:13:44,500 --> 00:13:48,300
cited volume of workload, as the
main reason for thinking, about

308
00:13:48,300 --> 00:13:53,000
leaving their job. 47% of all
staff always go into work when

309
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,700
they're unwell.
That is not a good place to be.

310
00:13:55,700 --> 00:13:58,100
If you're unwell, you're going
to be stressed, you get into a

311
00:13:58,100 --> 00:14:02,100
cycle and 78% of all staff
experience.

312
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,700
Total health symptoms due to
their work.

313
00:14:04,900 --> 00:14:11,300
For in five people experience
mental health symptoms due to

314
00:14:11,500 --> 00:14:13,900
being in education.
You know, the whole thing is

315
00:14:13,900 --> 00:14:15,900
crazy.
I'm just I'm not even that

316
00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:18,400
surprised you all sort of
reading them and I understand

317
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:19,300
that other people might be
shocked.

318
00:14:19,300 --> 00:14:22,200
I'm like, yeah, sounds about
right based on my experiences

319
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,000
and it's just, it's just mad at
me.

320
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,600
I want to know how that compares
to other jobs, you know.

321
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,400
I mean I'm sure there are, I'm
sure there are professionals

322
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,200
that are worse.
And I'm sure there are like a

323
00:14:30,208 --> 00:14:33,600
plenty professions that whose It
would not be like that.

324
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:34,700
Yeah.
And they're actually, it's

325
00:14:34,700 --> 00:14:37,700
consistently in the top five
teaching at least the top 10

326
00:14:37,700 --> 00:14:39,600
across the board and it is up
there.

327
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,200
It's up there because it is so
stressful.

328
00:14:42,500 --> 00:14:44,800
And like we said before, if it
was an easy ride, but some

329
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,400
people in the Press particularly
like to show then retention

330
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,600
wouldn't be as bad as it is.
We wouldn't be struggling to get

331
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,500
people into the profession and
these stats wouldn't exist and

332
00:14:52,500 --> 00:14:54,500
that's what we mean by just
taking a step back and looking.

333
00:14:54,500 --> 00:14:56,000
It's really important to tell
people.

334
00:14:56,100 --> 00:14:58,800
You are not alone.
It's not just you, you are not a

335
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,700
failure for feeling anxious for
feeling stressed.

336
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,000
It is not unusual.
On you, no matter what your SLT

337
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,500
might be saying to you.
If it's a certain school, it is

338
00:15:06,500 --> 00:15:08,900
a wide problem.
I've actually been looking at

339
00:15:08,900 --> 00:15:12,300
some articles earlier on and I
was really interested to see

340
00:15:12,300 --> 00:15:14,300
what while being is like not
just in our country but in other

341
00:15:14,300 --> 00:15:15,800
places as well.
I don't know if you know much

342
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:20,400
about this but Australia was
having very similar issues right

343
00:15:20,500 --> 00:15:21,900
there.
You know the kind of General

344
00:15:21,900 --> 00:15:24,100
consensus was.
We're just overworked as

345
00:15:24,100 --> 00:15:27,100
teachers and it's ridiculous.
You know, our mental well-being

346
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:29,800
is not good which leads to our
physical well-being, being not

347
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,900
so great and then our social
with like it just affects

348
00:15:31,900 --> 00:15:34,200
everything.
Do you know much about the

349
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,500
scheme's?
They've got out in Australia to

350
00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:37,200
help with this?
No, not at all when I see.

351
00:15:37,500 --> 00:15:40,400
Okay, so obviously you are
you'll have heard of the word,

352
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,100
sabbatical, it's something that
gets thrown around is this idea

353
00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:45,700
of kind of leaving work?
But you've got that guarantee of

354
00:15:45,700 --> 00:15:47,100
a job when you come back sort of
thing.

355
00:15:47,500 --> 00:15:50,900
But as far as I understand in
Australia, they have a like a

356
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:56,700
sabbatical scheme where teachers
can leave for like 125 years.

357
00:15:56,700 --> 00:15:58,300
As far as I'm aware quite a long
time.

358
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,500
From the profession, have a
guaranteed job when they get

359
00:16:01,500 --> 00:16:05,500
back.
But also get paid during it and

360
00:16:05,500 --> 00:16:07,800
that was the bit of shock to me,
it's reduced pay.

361
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,800
But the idea is it has to be,
you have to reply, you can't

362
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,700
just do it.
I randomly you have to be like a

363
00:16:13,700 --> 00:16:18,300
certain way into your career as
a teacher, and the idea is you

364
00:16:18,300 --> 00:16:21,500
apply for this with the sort of
mindset of, I'm going to come

365
00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:23,700
back to teaching with even more
to give because I'm going to go

366
00:16:23,700 --> 00:16:25,300
and work on something.
I'm going to go and learn this

367
00:16:25,300 --> 00:16:27,100
skill.
I'm going to go and do something

368
00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:31,300
that I wouldn't normally get to
do and then come back and be a

369
00:16:31,300 --> 00:16:33,900
better teacher.
I think that's the whole idea is

370
00:16:33,900 --> 00:16:36,700
just so just out of this world
to us, you know, that's

371
00:16:36,700 --> 00:16:38,100
unbelievable.
And I, you know, I'm hearing

372
00:16:38,100 --> 00:16:39,700
this for the first time and
things are going through my

373
00:16:39,700 --> 00:16:42,300
head.
The first thing is, what an

374
00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:47,200
unbelievably good way of showing
an example of how a government

375
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:52,600
can step in and create a scheme.
Be proactive to try and retain

376
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,100
experienced staff without just
letting them fall out of the

377
00:16:55,100 --> 00:16:57,600
profession.
Now, this might not solve it in

378
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,900
terms of the job isn't
fundamentally changing.

379
00:17:00,100 --> 00:17:02,800
But those people who are like
you said, Way through their

380
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,500
career and thinking okay well
I'm often because I'm not doing

381
00:17:05,500 --> 00:17:07,300
this anymore.
They're actually going to get a

382
00:17:07,308 --> 00:17:09,900
waiter to actually stay in the
profession and keep the best

383
00:17:09,900 --> 00:17:12,000
teachers teaching our children.
That's brilliant.

384
00:17:12,099 --> 00:17:14,000
Now, hilarious, they're on the
reverse side of the coin.

385
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,599
I do this same article that I
was reading.

386
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,300
It was talking about how the
government are really trying to

387
00:17:19,700 --> 00:17:23,000
combat what's actually happening
with this in mind, if it really

388
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,800
is, you never know what the news
but what they're saying is that

389
00:17:25,900 --> 00:17:30,100
teachers are doing this and then
just going to get another job in

390
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,100
will pay for a couple of years
and then just Craig teaching

391
00:17:33,100 --> 00:17:34,400
afterwards.
So they're really trying to

392
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,100
crack down on.
People not taking advantage of

393
00:17:36,108 --> 00:17:39,700
the scheme, but I do.
I do like the premise of that

394
00:17:39,700 --> 00:17:42,600
scheme.
So I was thinking, basically, I

395
00:17:42,608 --> 00:17:45,100
want to have a little chat with
you Hayden about what you think

396
00:17:45,100 --> 00:17:47,100
might be good practice for
helping well-being in schools.

397
00:17:47,100 --> 00:17:50,400
Now, I just want to say very
quickly, we are not experts and

398
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,000
at the end of this little
segment will point you in the

399
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,200
direction.
If you need some help with

400
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,900
anything, we're going to more
detail later but I was just

401
00:17:55,900 --> 00:17:56,900
thinking.
Okay.

402
00:17:56,900 --> 00:17:59,800
What can schools do?
That's really simple because I

403
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,200
know what you and I say all the
time and the first ones really.

404
00:18:02,300 --> 00:18:04,300
Blindingly obvious.
So let's not waste time in it.

405
00:18:04,300 --> 00:18:07,400
It's giving time and giving
money in form of Taylor's to do

406
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,400
extra within the job.
If you're just a classroom

407
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,500
teacher and you're asked to do
something extra than that you're

408
00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:15,500
already doing Lots outside of
school.

409
00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:18,800
So being given money and time to
perform that job, that's an

410
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,400
obvious way to help your
well-being.

411
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,400
What else do you think that
schools can do to help teachers

412
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,600
out?
I really think there is a

413
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,500
fundamental flaw in the
profession, right?

414
00:18:29,500 --> 00:18:33,500
And it does link to well-being,
But and you know, the way I see,

415
00:18:33,500 --> 00:18:37,600
this is, we have directed time
and we are paid for these

416
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,800
directed hours are contracts.
Literally, tell us what these

417
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,300
hours are that we paid for in
which the school can direct you

418
00:18:43,308 --> 00:18:49,600
to do things, but my problem is
Within that directed time, we're

419
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,600
not directed to plan lessons or
mark them and that really just

420
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,400
grinds my gears so much because
they are expected.

421
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,100
It's just like what?
So imagine it would talk to

422
00:19:00,100 --> 00:19:01,100
employers saying.
Alright.

423
00:19:01,100 --> 00:19:02,000
Okay.
So don't have to do those.

424
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,200
Then they're just sort of like
extra things I can do.

425
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:05,500
If I want to know, know you've
got to do them.

426
00:19:05,900 --> 00:19:07,300
I'll see your directed me to do
them.

427
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,300
No, they're not.
You directed hours obviously not

428
00:19:10,300 --> 00:19:11,200
directly.
I don't have to do them.

429
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:12,800
Then you have to do then we
would be fired.

430
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,700
What what were you talking
about?

431
00:19:14,700 --> 00:19:16,300
Why do we have this system?
That's okay.

432
00:19:16,300 --> 00:19:18,000
Because You can just put in for
overtime, right?

433
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,000
No, no other time.
Yeah.

434
00:19:20,100 --> 00:19:23,500
Other than, of course not.
It's just a just made me so that

435
00:19:23,500 --> 00:19:26,900
that kind is my context that
links into what I don't like

436
00:19:26,900 --> 00:19:30,400
about the profession.
Which I because I think it

437
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,000
negatively affects our
well-being essentially.

438
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,200
It could be summarized by just
saying we have to realize that

439
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,700
the Baseline of this job of
what's expected is already way

440
00:19:39,700 --> 00:19:43,300
more than what our contract and
our actual expectations are on

441
00:19:43,300 --> 00:19:44,300
paper.
Yep.

442
00:19:44,300 --> 00:19:46,500
I think in a traditional school
if you took the average school

443
00:19:46,900 --> 00:19:48,400
Right?
And you took the average working

444
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,600
hours of the average teacher in
that school, it's already more

445
00:19:51,900 --> 00:19:53,900
than what the the Peds director
time hours are.

446
00:19:54,100 --> 00:19:56,400
And I just think that the end of
the day, that's crazy because

447
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,600
there aren't many professions, I
know there are some others that

448
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,400
will do this sort of thing, but
in general we want to get paid

449
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,700
for the hours we do, and it gets
people's backs up.

450
00:20:04,700 --> 00:20:06,700
Eventually once what, you know,
once you're a few years into

451
00:20:06,700 --> 00:20:09,800
your career and you've kind of
stopped giving into all this

452
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,700
stuff and you realize actually,
I'm just giving my time away for

453
00:20:11,700 --> 00:20:14,300
free all the time.
You kind of just get a bit fed

454
00:20:14,300 --> 00:20:16,600
up with it especially when you
start having families and stuff.

455
00:20:16,700 --> 00:20:20,100
Are you know like that where
that time becomes harder to

456
00:20:20,100 --> 00:20:23,500
segment.
And again, look, we've been

457
00:20:23,500 --> 00:20:25,600
young teachers without families,
right?

458
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,900
And we understand sometimes,
when people say, oh, I've got

459
00:20:27,900 --> 00:20:30,100
kids at home and you're thinking
well, yeah, but you know, we're

460
00:20:30,100 --> 00:20:32,000
both still getting paid to do
this job.

461
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,400
I think both of our minds have
changed as we've got older to

462
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,700
say that's crazy.
Those teachers who raise a

463
00:20:37,708 --> 00:20:40,900
family and work full-time are.
Miracle, workers.

464
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,300
They are unbelievable, human
beings.

465
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,800
I've worked with so many
unbelieve, and they usually

466
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,400
women because I prefer She's
full of women.

467
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:52,100
Unbelievable, mums, who managed
to do this job?

468
00:20:52,500 --> 00:20:57,100
Inexplicably care for 30
children during the whole week

469
00:20:57,300 --> 00:20:59,900
and raise a family and they're
going to Breaking Point.

470
00:20:59,900 --> 00:21:03,600
They are reaching breaking point
because the Baseline of this job

471
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,400
is unbelievable and stuff is
piled on top without time or

472
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,100
money.
It just needs to change but

473
00:21:10,100 --> 00:21:11,700
we're doing that thing.
We said we weren't going to do

474
00:21:11,900 --> 00:21:14,400
talking about time and money
which is the obvious stuff.

475
00:21:14,700 --> 00:21:18,700
What else do you think we could?
Improve well-being with in

476
00:21:18,700 --> 00:21:22,100
practical ways I think us having
a chat fun enough about this

477
00:21:22,100 --> 00:21:26,900
with a friend recently, but I
really think that just having a

478
00:21:26,900 --> 00:21:31,600
bit more fun at school, just for
me, massively boosts my

479
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,700
well-being.
And what I mean by that is just

480
00:21:33,700 --> 00:21:36,500
having those days booked in
where it's like a fun afternoon.

481
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,400
Perhaps someone's coming in, or
you're taking the kids on a

482
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,100
school trip or you're going to
the local theater to watch

483
00:21:42,100 --> 00:21:43,900
something.
Or just basically, anything

484
00:21:43,900 --> 00:21:46,100
where you get to bond with the
kids, that's not in a science

485
00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:47,600
lesson or a mouse.
Listen, I don't know.

486
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,000
Just those moments are nice, and
they also come with reduced

487
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,600
marking, which makes the day a
bit better, you know, it kind of

488
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,200
comes with its perks and it
doesn't have to be a Skydive or

489
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,100
anything like that.
It's culturally culturally

490
00:21:58,100 --> 00:22:00,300
enriching for the children.
You could have someone come in

491
00:22:00,300 --> 00:22:02,400
and give a talk.
One of my favorite days ever in

492
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,700
scores, when an author came in,
and the children are writing

493
00:22:04,700 --> 00:22:06,800
poetry and what was unbelievable
about.

494
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,900
That morning was, I wasn't stood
at the front of the room going

495
00:22:09,100 --> 00:22:11,300
children.
I have told you I need to see a

496
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:13,500
front adverbial and the pronoun
and every sentence.

497
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,800
It wasn't that at all, it was an
actual poet came into the The

498
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,800
school only had a Flipboard
children were lying on the floor

499
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,100
in the hall with big pieces of
paper, felt-tip pens, and they

500
00:22:23,100 --> 00:22:25,700
produce some unbelievable.
Poetry, it was one of the best

501
00:22:25,700 --> 00:22:28,400
days I've ever had as a teacher.
I think what needs to be really

502
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,300
recognized and I know people be
nodding their heads like, how

503
00:22:31,300 --> 00:22:36,900
this is that teaching in front
of a class is unbelievably

504
00:22:36,900 --> 00:22:40,500
exhausting.
It is so taxing on the mind,

505
00:22:40,700 --> 00:22:42,900
right?
Just just think about it for a

506
00:22:42,908 --> 00:22:45,400
second.
Imagine you had to arrange

507
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,300
meetings all day because that's
What they are and you've got to

508
00:22:48,300 --> 00:22:50,700
plan the meeting lead.
The meeting feedback on the

509
00:22:50,708 --> 00:22:53,400
meeting afterwards, and they're
back to back six hours a day.

510
00:22:53,500 --> 00:22:55,800
Oh, and there's all.
And there's 32 participants, you

511
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,300
know it.
That's how big my classes

512
00:22:57,300 --> 00:22:59,900
anyway. 32 participants in this
meeting and you've got to lead

513
00:22:59,900 --> 00:23:01,800
it like what?
Oh, and by the way, those

514
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,200
participants on adults, their
little children who you've got

515
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,400
to keep focused.
Yeah.

516
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,500
So that that comparison to
really good, but it still breaks

517
00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:13,200
down that might sound crazy to
some people.

518
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,300
But then at the fact, their
children at the fact that some

519
00:23:15,300 --> 00:23:17,800
of them have higher educational
needs and how in, like, some

520
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,900
sort of office jobs, you can
every now and then you maybe

521
00:23:19,900 --> 00:23:21,900
turn around, you can chat to
someone checks, whenever I do,

522
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:24,000
it's not too lonely.
Forget that you're in front of a

523
00:23:24,008 --> 00:23:26,500
class all day by yourself.
A lot of the times, you're the

524
00:23:26,500 --> 00:23:29,000
only adult in there is actually
like, weirdly lonely.

525
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,700
Sometimes you don't really get
to converse with other adults

526
00:23:31,700 --> 00:23:34,800
much in the day you might do,
but generally, you're not, yeah,

527
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,100
and those relationships between
staff are actually really.

528
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,100
Early really important because
it's that empathy, I think which

529
00:23:40,100 --> 00:23:43,200
lets us not get into a spiral of
misunderstanding.

530
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,100
What someone's job demands are
for example, if you move into a

531
00:23:46,100 --> 00:23:49,300
higher position in a school in,
what you really easy to forget,

532
00:23:49,300 --> 00:23:52,100
actually just being a class,
teacher is really demanding

533
00:23:52,100 --> 00:23:54,800
already and an equally.
If you're just a class teacher

534
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,600
getting stressed at SLT, they've
got huge pressures on them as

535
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,800
well.
So just maintaining that empathy

536
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,000
and that actual bond between
staff.

537
00:24:02,100 --> 00:24:04,800
I think it's going to lead to
much less stress and just in

538
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,100
general allow well-being to
prosper a bit better.

539
00:24:07,300 --> 00:24:11,300
School, I agree and I think
talking to other people such an

540
00:24:11,300 --> 00:24:15,200
important part of breaking down
just that stigma around mental

541
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,900
health as well.
Like just being able to talk to

542
00:24:16,908 --> 00:24:19,100
another human being and other
adults about what's going on in

543
00:24:19,100 --> 00:24:23,900
your job and actually the DFE
have released a well-being

544
00:24:23,900 --> 00:24:26,800
Charter, right?
That schools can essentially

545
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,300
sign.
I think it's like there is their

546
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:30,400
way of encouraging schools to
actually take a bit more of an

547
00:24:30,408 --> 00:24:33,100
active role in improving the
well-being and their schools,

548
00:24:33,100 --> 00:24:35,700
you can check it out.
It's easy to find on Google and

549
00:24:35,700 --> 00:24:38,500
they've got like a like a nine
in point checklist of things

550
00:24:38,500 --> 00:24:40,700
that it says, we will do this,
you know?

551
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,200
And one of them is about
breaking down the stigma around

552
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,800
mental health, and another one
is in bed.

553
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,500
Well, being in training and
professional development.

554
00:24:47,500 --> 00:24:51,100
Like, actually there's, let's
talk about this and put one of

555
00:24:51,108 --> 00:24:52,800
our staff meetings on it.
You know what, guys, the the

556
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,900
staff meeting there's 17 staff
meeting on science which is

557
00:24:55,908 --> 00:24:57,200
going to put that back for a
bit.

558
00:24:57,300 --> 00:24:58,700
And we're just going to talk
about your mental health.

559
00:24:58,700 --> 00:25:01,400
Actually going to give you a bit
of a break for once as well and

560
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,700
just show you that we do care.
Like you're not just machines

561
00:25:03,700 --> 00:25:06,900
that have to work through this
job all day relentlessly.

562
00:25:06,900 --> 00:25:10,100
And Go home when you finish the
job way, after the hours you're

563
00:25:10,100 --> 00:25:12,500
supposed to work, you know, and
you've not only just got home,

564
00:25:12,500 --> 00:25:15,200
you taking your marking as well.
It just made me think then when

565
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,500
you mentioned 17th staff meeting
on science in a row or something

566
00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:22,500
like that, another way that I
think I've seen in schools do

567
00:25:22,500 --> 00:25:25,900
this in various ways, right?
And I think a massive thing for

568
00:25:25,900 --> 00:25:30,700
well-being and just the sanity
of your staff is to focus on

569
00:25:30,700 --> 00:25:34,200
something as a group that you're
improving one at a time.

570
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,700
Right?
And letting change have The time

571
00:25:37,700 --> 00:25:41,000
to embed itself across the
school, and not changing things,

572
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,400
for the sake of it, I've worked
in schools before I've seen it

573
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,500
happen where something's brought
in for maths in term one.

574
00:25:46,700 --> 00:25:48,900
But also at the same time by the
way, next week we're changing

575
00:25:48,900 --> 00:25:50,300
the English scheme of reading as
well.

576
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,400
Oh and by the way, in which
three the afternoon science

577
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,000
lessons note, they need to be
scrapped because we're going to

578
00:25:54,008 --> 00:25:56,900
do this instead and it's just
too much.

579
00:25:56,900 --> 00:25:58,600
We need to have one focus at one
time.

580
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,900
This is my opinion.
Really, really do that.

581
00:26:00,900 --> 00:26:03,900
Well, understand that perhaps.
Perhaps okay, we know this needs

582
00:26:03,900 --> 00:26:05,400
to change.
Next time we're going to nail

583
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,100
this first, get our staff
working on this.

584
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,000
That soiled.
Let's go into the next thing.

585
00:26:09,500 --> 00:26:11,300
I remember when we started our
career and I know that we would

586
00:26:11,308 --> 00:26:12,600
have both had these
conversations.

587
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,300
We spoke to some teachers that
have been in the car a lot

588
00:26:15,300 --> 00:26:17,200
longer than are some of them
near retirement of the time as

589
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,100
well.
And when we when these new

590
00:26:19,100 --> 00:26:21,200
schemes initiatives came in, I
know that you and I are be a

591
00:26:21,208 --> 00:26:22,600
little bit buzzed because we're
new.

592
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,800
We're excited by everything.
Well I wow, that sounds great.

593
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,400
That sounds a bit like what I
learned at University and these

594
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,800
some of these teachers are just
sort of roll their eyes kind of

595
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,600
unenthusiastically uninterested
and I don't be offended.

596
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,000
Like they don't have passion
anymore and I'd talk to these

597
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,700
people and I just It stuck with
me then just saying things like

598
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,600
Yep, this is the third time in
my career, that this exact thing

599
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,600
has been rehashed and come back
around and they just got this

600
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,300
idea in my head over yet, it's
just Cycles.

601
00:26:48,300 --> 00:26:50,700
We just we try things and we get
bored of them and we bring back

602
00:26:50,700 --> 00:26:52,900
in old things.
They don't work anymore and it's

603
00:26:52,900 --> 00:26:55,600
just goes around and around and
around all this workload

604
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,300
basically for nothing, because
they're just doing things they

605
00:26:58,300 --> 00:27:00,200
done in the past.
And that really stuck with me.

606
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,500
Maturing as a teacher, is
realizing that those teachers

607
00:27:03,500 --> 00:27:05,800
were right and trying to wrap up
this chat about well-being

608
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,300
Hayden, because you've kind,
Touched upon mental health.

609
00:27:09,900 --> 00:27:12,900
And again, we're not experts.
We are absolutely not experts

610
00:27:12,900 --> 00:27:16,300
and breaking down that stick,
most really important, and that

611
00:27:16,300 --> 00:27:17,800
website.
I mentioned earlier, education

612
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,100
support.
I just want to point people in

613
00:27:20,108 --> 00:27:21,700
the direction of this, because
if you're listening to this

614
00:27:21,700 --> 00:27:24,800
podcast and thinking actually I
am anxious, I'm suffering from

615
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,900
anxiety, suffering from
depression, suffering from

616
00:27:27,900 --> 00:27:31,100
burnout.
These guys, this education

617
00:27:31,100 --> 00:27:34,100
support charity.
It's their sole Focus to help

618
00:27:34,100 --> 00:27:36,000
us.
So I just want to point you guys

619
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,900
into the direction of Education
support dot org but UK take a

620
00:27:39,900 --> 00:27:41,900
look, they've got a helpline,
it's completely free.

621
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,000
They have loads of Articles,
loads of ways.

622
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,200
To get professional help because
you guys you're not alone.

623
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,500
This is a really really tough
profession and they are a

624
00:27:49,500 --> 00:27:52,200
fantastic resource to go to, to
get some help.

625
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,200
Right.
Dylan is time to move on.

626
00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:01,200
Now, to the next segment of our
podcast, where we share a story,

627
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,900
a funny teaching memory from
someone at home.

628
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,100
What's the name of this segment?
I don't know.

629
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,400
We're gonna wait.
So let me just clarify very

630
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,000
quickly.
You absolutely rinsed my name

631
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,900
for an email because I took the
initiative to go off and make

632
00:28:14,900 --> 00:28:17,000
one you've come up with a
segment and you haven't even

633
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,600
bothered to name it.
Listen, I'm all about audience

634
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,200
interaction mate.
Okay, I'm asking the guys at

635
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,300
home, too.
Maybe suggest a name for this

636
00:28:25,300 --> 00:28:28,200
segment where we share the
stories of you and your

637
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:29,500
memories.
Right, let's go.

638
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:34,100
Okay, so what I've done is I've
actually picked the story this

639
00:28:34,100 --> 00:28:35,400
week.
We've had quite a few entries.

640
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,800
So thank you to everybody who
sent some stories in.

641
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,800
We had lots of friends and other
teachers as well.

642
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,400
Sending things in.
What's the end?

643
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,800
I'm just sorry.
Yeah, the email is teach sleep.

644
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,900
Repeat POD at gmail.com, nice
and short.

645
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,600
So I've picked one and it just
resonates with me.

646
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,500
I found it quite funny and I
thought, you know what, I'm not

647
00:28:53,500 --> 00:28:55,700
even To tell you what it is, I'm
just going to send you the

648
00:28:55,700 --> 00:28:56,900
story, which I've just done by
the way.

649
00:28:56,900 --> 00:29:00,100
So check your phone and I'm
going to get you to read it out

650
00:29:00,100 --> 00:29:03,500
loud and just tell the story.
All right, so when you're ready,

651
00:29:03,700 --> 00:29:06,300
I'll get okay.
So this is from Matt and I'm

652
00:29:06,300 --> 00:29:08,600
going to start reading it.
Now, he's a teacher, by the way,

653
00:29:08,700 --> 00:29:13,300
obviously, my ta bought our
class and inflatable dolphin for

654
00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:17,800
RC themed, but call up.
I am I laughing already the kids

655
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,300
loved it, and even gave it a
name, one day towards the end of

656
00:29:21,300 --> 00:29:24,000
the year, the children came into
school to see that it Had

657
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,200
deflated and they were very
upset.

658
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,100
I told them and I don't know why
I did this, but if they did

659
00:29:30,100 --> 00:29:33,500
their work before lunch, we
would have time for it top.

660
00:29:33,500 --> 00:29:37,900
It funeral you can already tell
this person was like, the

661
00:29:37,900 --> 00:29:46,100
beginning of that career.
Children raced through the wag.

662
00:29:46,100 --> 00:29:48,400
And this from is the funeral
went ahead.

663
00:29:48,900 --> 00:29:52,600
The children were made to talk
about shots in dudes, opens up

664
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,400
and generally looks smart.
I've prepared an order of

665
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,200
service we've become with the
names.

666
00:29:59,900 --> 00:30:03,500
Never myself, the TA all the
children knew the word.

667
00:30:03,500 --> 00:30:05,500
So we just mind.
There's a box of tissues, hate

668
00:30:05,500 --> 00:30:09,500
its way across the room, one
child delivered, a very touching

669
00:30:09,500 --> 00:30:11,500
speech.
Reminiscing about all the good

670
00:30:11,500 --> 00:30:13,700
times.
We shared claiming we will miss

671
00:30:13,700 --> 00:30:22,000
his smile.
Oh his warmth and his farts.

672
00:30:25,300 --> 00:30:28,600
This was greeted with no
reaction or laughter, just a

673
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,600
serious, not a bad.
It was just so upset.

674
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,000
So upset if they just got into
character, they all knew they

675
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,700
were like yeah I remember I was
writing one time and the dolphin

676
00:30:38,700 --> 00:30:39,900
farted.
It was the teacher.

677
00:30:39,900 --> 00:30:43,300
It was Matt and he blamed it on
the table we've all done.

678
00:30:43,300 --> 00:30:48,000
It.
Next four children were selected

679
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,400
to carry the dolphin outside the
classroom as we had a door

680
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,400
leading to the field as a Class
procession we followed the

681
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,000
dolphin past classrooms of
busily working kids.

682
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,600
This place of rest imagine that
just year five.

683
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,200
Like looking at the bottom what
is that new teacher doing again?

684
00:31:07,700 --> 00:31:10,300
Some children scattered soil
over the body.

685
00:31:13,300 --> 00:31:15,800
The worst bit was apparently
there's a worse bit to this that

686
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,900
that wasn't the work there's a
question coming up now.

687
00:31:17,900 --> 00:31:21,900
Apparently the caretaker had a
skip at the time and we decided

688
00:31:21,900 --> 00:31:24,600
once the children had gone with
Put the dolphin in it.

689
00:31:24,900 --> 00:31:28,100
Little did we know the skip
would be moved to the playground

690
00:31:28,100 --> 00:31:31,200
for collection?
Just as this hill that you have

691
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,700
lunch, their faces were
horrified after they spotted.

692
00:31:34,700 --> 00:31:37,900
This deflated dolphin lying on
top of the rubbish waiting to be

693
00:31:37,900 --> 00:31:40,300
collected.
Shocking me.

694
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,900
We had no parental complaints
and to this day SLT have no

695
00:31:43,900 --> 00:31:46,700
knowledge of any event or
correct until this day.

696
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,100
Yeah.
Really enjoying the relatable

697
00:31:49,100 --> 00:31:50,400
podcast.
Keep it up.

698
00:31:50,500 --> 00:31:51,700
Matt.
So we go.

699
00:31:51,700 --> 00:31:52,900
I thought you'd enjoy that
story.

700
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,200
Would you think that is
genuinely genuinely?

701
00:31:56,300 --> 00:31:59,900
I'm I think we might have to put
this segment to rest because how

702
00:31:59,900 --> 00:32:02,700
can you top a dolphin funeral?
You know, you are roasting me

703
00:32:02,700 --> 00:32:05,500
last week about how you took a
child out and they were like,

704
00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:08,500
yeah, just doesn't stop talking.
It's just when you're when you

705
00:32:08,508 --> 00:32:11,800
start teaching, I don't know
what it is but you just, I don't

706
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,000
know.
Maybe just let your guard down a

707
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,400
bit more but you just have so
much, silly fun.

708
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,500
And I do feel like part of
well-being is that enjoyment,

709
00:32:18,500 --> 00:32:20,400
you know, just having those
moments with the kids, when the

710
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,200
time table isn't round with,
you've got to do a million

711
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:24,200
things.
Things at once and having a

712
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,500
dolphin funeral, why not?
Yeah, so to summarize, that's

713
00:32:27,500 --> 00:32:29,800
your solution, right?
I said, maybe even more time and

714
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,700
money something like that.
Hey, have a dolphin funeral that

715
00:32:32,700 --> 00:32:34,700
song about being guys.
That's how you cure it.

716
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,700
I'm gonna go over that for a
while in the future we have had

717
00:32:38,700 --> 00:32:40,400
some people emailing us.
They're quite Keen to come on to

718
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,200
the podcast.
So what do you think about?

719
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:43,200
Get some guests on in the
future?

720
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,100
Even I think it's an amazing
idea.

721
00:32:45,100 --> 00:32:48,300
And to be honest with you, I'd
love to hear some more stories

722
00:32:48,300 --> 00:32:50,900
from people but also, you know,
some serious stuff as well.

723
00:32:51,500 --> 00:32:53,000
Yeah, we're going to continue to
mix up.

724
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,900
I think But absolutely
brilliant.

725
00:32:55,300 --> 00:32:57,000
That's all.
We've got time for this podcast,

726
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,600
so we're going to end it.
Nope.

727
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:00,100
Nope.
Nope, nope.

728
00:33:00,100 --> 00:33:01,600
Nope.
Dealing with done it again.

729
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,400
But listen, we know the people
are coming back for the pretty

730
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,800
stick stories.
Oh, the pretty stick story.

731
00:33:08,500 --> 00:33:10,500
Next time about it next time,

732
00:33:10,500 --> 00:33:11,800
We'll see you then have a good
one.

Bye bye.
