6: How Tutoring Helped Us Go Part-Time

1
00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:03,400
Oh, just a quick one was just
looking for my teaching contract

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,800
and obviously we've got directed
time, which is the number of

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,700
hours that we're paid for to do
the job.

4
00:00:07,900 --> 00:00:11,300
But I was just slightly
concerned because teaching time

5
00:00:11,300 --> 00:00:13,800
of actually delivering the
lessons seems to take up pretty

6
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,600
much all of it and I was just
thinking, when am I supposed to

7
00:00:16,608 --> 00:00:18,700
get these other jobs done?
But show you got an answer for

8
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:20,700
me?
When am I supposed to do?

9
00:00:20,700 --> 00:00:23,100
My planning where you'll be
really pleased to know that we

10
00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:26,700
actually build in two hours of
release time for you every

11
00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:29,800
single week in the form of your
PPA and the Pea?

12
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,300
P in PPA stands for planning.
Well, that sounds completely

13
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:33,900
reasonable.
I guess.

14
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:36,100
I mean, a bit of a squeeze to
get my planning done in two

15
00:00:36,100 --> 00:00:37,900
hours, but we'll give that a
good go.

16
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,000
In that case, then when am I
supposed to prepare the lessons?

17
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,300
You know, print off the
worksheets, get everything ready

18
00:00:43,300 --> 00:00:45,100
for the lesson.
If I'm doing DTI, what's gonna

19
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:47,300
get all the resources,
obviously, in my own time.

20
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:50,500
So when's that built-in?
So the second P NP p, a stands

21
00:00:50,500 --> 00:00:53,700
for Preparation, and we give you
two hours every week to do that.

22
00:00:53,700 --> 00:00:55,300
Alright, that's that's the same
two hours.

23
00:00:55,300 --> 00:00:56,600
I'm getting my planning done in,
is it?

24
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,200
That's right.
Okay, cool.

25
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,200
Interesting.
What about assessment then?

26
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,200
And I'm kind of worried because
I know what letter assessment

27
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,700
starts with.
So let's see what your answer

28
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:06,000
is.
How am I supposed to get that

29
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,500
done every time?
You know, fit in all those

30
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:11,500
detailed analysis on line?
That takes a long, long time.

31
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:13,300
When am I supposed to do that?
Well, across the term, you'll

32
00:01:13,300 --> 00:01:15,800
have multiple weeks where we
give you two hours of release

33
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,300
time each week to get those jobs
done.

34
00:01:18,300 --> 00:01:20,300
That's the that's is that, what
is that PPA?

35
00:01:20,300 --> 00:01:23,500
That's your PBA, right?
Okay, so PPA, I assume that's

36
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:26,800
what they stand for.
So surely then marking, you

37
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,500
know, 90 bucks a day, English
math science.

38
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,800
That is something else, right?
We've got a different kind of

39
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,200
provision for that.
I get some extra time or I can

40
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,900
get paid extra for doing that
work.

41
00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:38,700
Outside of my contract.
What about that?

42
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:40,000
It's funny.
You should mention extra time

43
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,600
because that's exactly what
we've built into your contract.

44
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,400
You are given two hours every
week in your PP, a to get that

45
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:46,200
done.
Yeah.

46
00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:48,800
We we kind of established.
What ppas for though, and it's

47
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,300
kind of not already enough time
for that.

48
00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:52,800
But alright, no problem.
Moving on.

49
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000
We've got that.
Sorted marking my year group

50
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,800
leader.
Here's the thing, my PPA is set

51
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,600
for a Wednesday afternoon and
Year group leader wants to have

52
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,500
weekly meetings after school
outside of directed time on a

53
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:08,000
Friday, how on Earth does that
square up?

54
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,100
So some of your PP a Time, Each
we can be put towards those

55
00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:14,100
important meetings.
My Wednesday PPA time can be put

56
00:02:14,100 --> 00:02:15,700
towards my Friday after school
meeting.

57
00:02:15,700 --> 00:02:18,000
Is that what you're telling me?
That's right.

58
00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:20,600
Okay, completely unhinged.
Anyway.

59
00:02:21,100 --> 00:02:23,900
Last thing I did notice
obviously I'm in year 6 and the

60
00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:25,600
residential is coming up.
Very exciting.

61
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,300
I seen that the policy.
So your rule tells me I have to

62
00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:31,800
leave my home.
For a week, fine.

63
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,300
Okay, we're going to accept
that.

64
00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:36,000
Do I get a day in lieu?
Do I put in for overtime into

65
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,200
the office?
How does that work better than a

66
00:02:38,208 --> 00:02:40,700
day in lieu?
And over time, we build in a

67
00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:43,800
whole day into your working
hours across five weeks, you'll

68
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,300
receive 10 hours of planning and
bpa's a bit.

69
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:47,900
Yep.
Okay, so my week-long

70
00:02:47,900 --> 00:02:51,200
residential away from home, I'm
supposed to do in the same time

71
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:53,400
for one hour a week.
When I do my planning, my

72
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,500
preparation, my marking, my
assessments, and my meetings

73
00:02:55,500 --> 00:02:57,000
every week.
Correct, that's right.

74
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,500
Yeah.
You've been listening to an

75
00:02:58,500 --> 00:02:59,900
advert paid for by the
department.

76
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,800
Apartment for Education.
Join teaching today to receive

77
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,900
two hours of release time a week
to complete 15 hours worth of

78
00:03:05,900 --> 00:03:13,200
work.
Hello everyone.

79
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,600
Welcome back to another episode
of teach sleep.

80
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,200
Repeat, this is episode 6.
My name is Dylan and my name is

81
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,900
Hayden and we just want to start
off by saying thank you for the

82
00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:24,600
response to last week Hayden.
It was a bumper episode, right?

83
00:03:24,700 --> 00:03:26,700
I mean it was like more than
double the length of what we

84
00:03:26,900 --> 00:03:29,600
have done so far.
So yeah, I think I did check.

85
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,700
It was just a few minutes away
from being the full feature,

86
00:03:31,700 --> 00:03:34,500
length film Shrek.
So quite, wow, I'm probably

87
00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:37,600
better as well actually.
I think the farmer Or

88
00:03:37,608 --> 00:03:39,100
highlights, I'm sure from that
podcast.

89
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:41,900
So, first of all, thank you for
that reaction.

90
00:03:41,900 --> 00:03:45,200
We did ask people to put up a
poll on Spotify of they listened

91
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,700
and we did ask them on Instagram
as well.

92
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,600
And every single person said
that they preferred the longer

93
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,100
one, or they didn't mind.
So it looks like you guys are

94
00:03:52,100 --> 00:03:54,000
really enjoying this and taking
it all in.

95
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,400
So, thank you so much.
We really really, really, really

96
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,300
appreciate the kind words.
We've had so much positive

97
00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:02,000
feedback and it makes it even
more excited to carry on doing

98
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,500
these episodes.
So, thank you for that.

99
00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:06,600
And on the back of that whilst
you there, guys, lots of you've

100
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,600
done this already as well.
I'm going to ask something else

101
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,800
in a high degree polynomial.
Going to say a rating would be

102
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,600
really good.
A rating would be lovely.

103
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,700
We've already got about 17.
I think on Spotify Aiden.

104
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,800
Yeah.
And it just gives us legitimacy

105
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,200
right.
When people come along and they

106
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,200
say oh this is a good podcast
seeing your reviews, they really

107
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,300
help us out and they're not been
one star either which is really

108
00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:27,000
cool.
They've been five so as many of

109
00:04:27,008 --> 00:04:29,800
them as possible would be
really, really useful.

110
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,300
Thank you.
That's pretty awesome.

111
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,100
And they can also reach us on.
Other platforms to is that

112
00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:35,100
correct dinner.
Yeah.

113
00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:38,500
On Apple on Amazon whatever.
You're listening to us on.

114
00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:40,500
Thank you.
And, you know, whilst were here,

115
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,700
check out the other Instagram.
A, that's what I was thinking.

116
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,200
Yeah, we've posted loads on
their will continue to post

117
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,300
because we started to film the
podcast as well.

118
00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:54,400
So hello, you're not watching it
live but hello, if I make this

119
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,400
into a real, you'll see this.
Don't waste it.

120
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:03,600
No wants to see this.
See her on Instagram at teach

121
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,500
that repeat podcast, give us a
follow and join in on the chat.

122
00:05:06,500 --> 00:05:08,500
We have lots and lots of
interactive things going on

123
00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:11,400
there and that's me done Hayden
for all of this.

124
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,700
So I wanted to ask you as
always, how has your week been

125
00:05:14,700 --> 00:05:17,000
my pal?
I've had a great week as always,

126
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,300
actually always have a great
week and a funny week this week

127
00:05:19,500 --> 00:05:21,800
as some just funny moments with
a kid, you know, I just love

128
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,300
those little bits.
They stand out today.

129
00:05:24,300 --> 00:05:27,700
Your jump in like I have noticed
sorry because I did think this

130
00:05:27,700 --> 00:05:30,000
earlier, we're getting better
and better at not talking to

131
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:30,900
each other.
The week.

132
00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:33,500
Yeah, I know it's kind of sad.
Have you noticed?

133
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:36,300
Because I think to myself, I go
to tell you something now.

134
00:05:36,300 --> 00:05:39,500
Wait, wait, I can put it on the
podcast, I don't come and tell

135
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:42,100
you anymore, which is kind of
cool in the way because I've

136
00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:44,800
managed to condense, the amount
of time I have to spend with you

137
00:05:44,900 --> 00:05:48,000
to just one hour.
Yeah, I did wonder, why you've

138
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,000
been trying to get me to do a
podcast for honestly years?

139
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,500
And I realize now that this is
it, it's your so much happier

140
00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:56,700
now, because I'm not talking to
every five minutes, it's

141
00:05:56,700 --> 00:05:58,500
brilliant.
But now you've got this forces

142
00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:00,100
you to condense it to the actual
useful.

143
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,300
Information.
I want to ask, how was your week

144
00:06:02,300 --> 00:06:03,200
right now?
I want to hear it.

145
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,900
Let me tell you, okay?
Because anyone that's listen to

146
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,700
a few of our podcast will know
what I'm referencing here.

147
00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:09,800
So, I make up some silly games,
right?

148
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,200
Especially in maths, we had our
my blow dart game.

149
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,100
What was that blow dart game?
Yeah, I blow dart times tables

150
00:06:16,100 --> 00:06:19,900
game last week and I also talked
about doing sometimes a shootout

151
00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:21,600
games, right?
And I just love this little

152
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,900
moments this morning, you know,
it's nothing crazy but it just

153
00:06:23,900 --> 00:06:28,600
made me smile, a kid ran into my
math class and straight to me

154
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,000
because I know if they ask a
quick enough Might be a chance

155
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,300
where I'm like I'll go on them
they're like oh can we, can we

156
00:06:35,300 --> 00:06:36,700
play?
And then I didn't use words,

157
00:06:36,900 --> 00:06:41,700
they just did, can we play and
the actions for shootout?

158
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:47,200
And there's just send it to hold
up load up when I just this

159
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,600
little moment.
I was like our man.

160
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,600
What have I done to these kids?
Can you imagine them going home

161
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,000
and not using words and just
using actions are like mr.

162
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Stevens did what?
Yes, cocking.

163
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,800
Lots of trouble for this.
But I was because they may be

164
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,500
small.
I was like, yeah, we can we're

165
00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:05,700
gonna play both.
So, did you know what?

166
00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:07,000
You've done there.
Do what you've done.

167
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,500
You've got a child running into
your classroom asking to do

168
00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:10,500
maths.
That's brilliant.

169
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:13,100
I know they're learning that and
I'll tell you what their time

170
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:15,300
say was a getting better because
they don't want to lose because

171
00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:17,200
they get to stay up and play
again.

172
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,200
It's a weird impact.
Mummy, mummy.

173
00:07:21,500 --> 00:07:23,500
Can I do sometimes Table Rock
Stars tonight.

174
00:07:23,500 --> 00:07:24,400
Please.

175
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,300
What's the matter darling?
You okay?

176
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,500
Yeah, it's totally get
tranquilized tomorrow.

177
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,600
No, mummy, I can't do it unless
you pretend to Shoot me.

178
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,600
What?
Maybe I can't.

179
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,200
I can't solve this time Stables.
Can you just don't get that

180
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,200
stick and pretend to shoot me
the blow dart?

181
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,600
What is 42?
Something to you.

182
00:07:42,900 --> 00:07:45,200
Yeah, well listen, I've not had
any complaints yet.

183
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,000
So let's see.
Let's say watch this space.

184
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:49,600
Brilliant.
I know you want to tell your

185
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,500
stories but I just got this one.
Other thing that happened is a

186
00:07:51,508 --> 00:07:54,800
bit of a throwback again to a
previous week where and you

187
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,000
remember when I was playing the
two truths and a lie game?

188
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,300
I said, but was held responded
to a question of mine with your

189
00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:01,600
mum.
My mum.

190
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,200
Yeah, I couldn't believe a kid's
head.

191
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,700
That do a question like to my
face.

192
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,900
Anyway, so we're playing Speed
Stacks, in PE.

193
00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:10,900
It's a bit of a cop-out P.
Less than we do when you're not

194
00:08:10,900 --> 00:08:12,000
brave.
Physical right?

195
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,900
No it was the whole was taken
last minute.

Like there was raining outside
and I have to pee else is going

197
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,200

It's a whole come back saying I

198
00:08:18,207 --> 00:08:20,300
won't talk of.
Yeah, we couldn't do PE.

199
00:08:20,700 --> 00:08:23,700
We couldn't do yoga in the hole

201
00:08:26,100 --> 00:08:27,900
the Speed Stacks is like a last
minute thing.

202
00:08:27,900 --> 00:08:30,400
The kids love it.
I don't know why, because they

203
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,000

I was like, okay, that was fun.

00:09:41,300 --> 00:09:44,600
Back to a previous episode, all
right, your backside like them

232
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,100
links, we're rewarding the
returning customers customers,

233
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:50,700
but they're not, they're not
customers.

234
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,600
And our customers do not making
any money yet, not not finished

235
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,700
podcast, okay, give it.
Yeah.

236
00:09:55,700 --> 00:09:58,900

be raping in the mass slip

237
00:09:58,900 --> 00:10:00,700

customers?

238
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:02,600
Hello listeners.
You know, less is any more of

239
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,000
your customers capitalism has
gone to the brain.

240
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,100
Literally, it's off.
That Roald Dahl story.

241
00:10:08,700 --> 00:10:11,100
It's all about can see
returning.

242
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,800
Back rewarding, rewarding those
customers.

243
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,900
So should we call them and let's
call them clients?

244
00:10:16,900 --> 00:10:18,000
Isn't that better?
That's what they do.

245
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,400
Isn't it in the in the marketing
world and not customers their

246
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,800
clients?
Yeah.

247
00:10:21,900 --> 00:10:23,300
Okay.
Can you tell the clients about

248
00:10:23,300 --> 00:10:28,000
your week?
That I feel that's going to be

249
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,600
returning thing now?
Yeah, my week absolutely fine

250
00:10:31,100 --> 00:10:33,000
for my sins.
I'm a Manchester United

251
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,900
supporter and anyone who follows
football knows that it was a bit

252
00:10:35,900 --> 00:10:39,300
of a dark week and you know,
we're talking recently again

253
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,400
linking back as to how We let
you know, we talked to the

254
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,900
children, we let them know about
ourselves.

255
00:10:43,900 --> 00:10:45,300
Try and build that personal bond
with them.

256
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,400
Yeah, huge thing for me, very
popular.

257
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,200
See of a lot of children in our
school is football.

258
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,700
So that's something that I feel
is a really easy win to kind of

259
00:10:52,708 --> 00:10:54,300
get in and build those bonds
with the children.

260
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,500
Every single child, in this
school knows my Manchester

261
00:10:57,500 --> 00:10:59,400
United fan and this is where it
does backfire.

262
00:10:59,500 --> 00:11:03,100
Because on Monday morning, I sat
at my desk at 8:30, children,

263
00:11:03,100 --> 00:11:07,000
start coming in and I could see
one of my Lads outside right?

264
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,600
Big football fan, he stopped at
the door and obviously Tans and

265
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,100
he'd seen Um one right?
And I could see him because he's

266
00:11:13,100 --> 00:11:15,200
one of the first ones in and
actually didn't come in

267
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,900
Australia.
I was okay, he'd walked back

268
00:11:16,900 --> 00:11:18,800
off, right?
Literally walked past my window

269
00:11:18,900 --> 00:11:20,700
because when they come in, they
walk past my window to come

270
00:11:20,700 --> 00:11:22,700
through the door, right?
He turned around and gone back

271
00:11:22,700 --> 00:11:26,000
and I'll say, Okay, interesting
couple of our people walk in

272
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,300
streaming in and then suddenly I
see him again, but he's with

273
00:11:29,300 --> 00:11:31,200
another lad in my class and
they're walking in together

274
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,500
laughing.
And I was like, okay.

275
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:35,300
Okay.
You know, I know, I know that

276
00:11:35,300 --> 00:11:37,000
you guys are football fan
anyway.

277
00:11:37,100 --> 00:11:40,200
So the class now has like six or
seven people in this time where

278
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,300
he'd walk back.
And they just walk in through

279
00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:47,500
the door and they go seven ill
to the Liverpool seven now.

280
00:11:47,900 --> 00:11:50,200
But the rest of the class not
joining in, even the ones who

281
00:11:50,208 --> 00:11:55,000
don't know, it's just chanting
seven now and I swear every

282
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,500
single child of what past
obviously I'm here for teacher,

283
00:11:58,500 --> 00:12:01,100
I walk in the hall at lunchtime,
the FIS might be in their lunch,

284
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,500
every every single to 7 L7 now,
that's okay.

285
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,200
Yeah.
Okay, nice.

286
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,800
One every single child of what
fast this week but I really love

287
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,500
it because Cuz they love it, you
know?

288
00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:15,600
I mean they couldn't wait, I was
on break duty on Monday, break

289
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,800
Duty, the whole school or out on
the playground, every two

290
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,600
minutes.
One of the, one of the girls I

291
00:12:20,608 --> 00:12:22,400
taught last year came out to
huge Arsenal fan.

292
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,400
Should I say 7 mil?
And I was like, oh Arsenal, good

293
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:26,700
as well.
I kind of give you any banter

294
00:12:26,700 --> 00:12:29,100
back.
So that was my week whole week

295
00:12:29,100 --> 00:12:32,500
of every single child is in two
foot by coming up to me, just

296
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:34,400
love it.
I know you probably the same

297
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:39,200
when children can find something
that they can legitimately rinse

298
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,000
you about the see not like It's
not like something where they

299
00:12:42,008 --> 00:12:43,500
could get in trouble, which and,
I mean, they're not, they're not

300
00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:45,100
disrespect tablet or Mick out of
you.

301
00:12:45,300 --> 00:12:46,700
They've just about they latch
onto it.

302
00:12:46,700 --> 00:12:47,900
Then they let you said every
child's.

303
00:12:47,900 --> 00:12:49,000
Like, what?
I can?

304
00:12:49,100 --> 00:12:51,600
Yeah, we can say, there's a, his
expense, and it's not, we're not

305
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,000
going to trouble.
Yeah.

306
00:12:53,100 --> 00:12:56,400
Liverpool, you think though,
that that genuinely that's a

307
00:12:56,408 --> 00:12:58,000
really nice thing to teach the
children.

308
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,600
Like it's a really nice thing to
say.

309
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,100
Look, we really strict in a
school like every school.

310
00:13:04,700 --> 00:13:07,100
You cannot be mean, you cannot
be horrible.

311
00:13:07,300 --> 00:13:09,700
You cannot pick on people
bullying Zero Tolerance.

312
00:13:10,100 --> 00:13:12,500
But just Seeing them for at your
expense.

313
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:15,900
Almost that where that line is
and I'm being really clear with

314
00:13:15,900 --> 00:13:18,100
them, not being unfair with them
at all because you have these

315
00:13:18,100 --> 00:13:21,400
really straight lines and that's
unacceptable, but I've told you

316
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,100
this information you re can have
a joke, we can have a laugh and

317
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,000
kind of them experimenting with
that line and not going to

318
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,200
harden them when maybe they do
cross the line because you've

319
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,700
kind of open the door for them
and your then like shut the

320
00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:35,400
door, a bit unfair.
You also of modeling to them.

321
00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:38,300
Humility as well and showing
them that it's like how this is

322
00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:40,800
how you take a joke by the way?
Yes, this is how you take a

323
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,400
joke.
See how I'm taking this, and I'm

324
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,700
sort of giving a little bit
back.

325
00:13:43,700 --> 00:13:45,900
I'm not getting offended or
upset or like, trying to be

326
00:13:45,900 --> 00:13:49,200
nasty to you now, because you've
embarrassed me a little bit and

327
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,100
it definitely does teach them.
I think that, I think you're

328
00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:53,100
right.
This is, it's something that I

329
00:13:53,108 --> 00:13:55,900
actively go out of my way to try
and do every year of every class

330
00:13:55,900 --> 00:13:58,600
and I'll usually almost like
identify the children.

331
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,900
I'm like, oh, wow, they can't
take a joke, like they are the

332
00:14:00,900 --> 00:14:03,900
ones that go storm off and cry
because of something like a

333
00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:05,500
little joke.
And I'm like, I want to say

334
00:14:05,500 --> 00:14:08,800
maybe she looked at me like this
and it's like, yeah.

335
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,300
But let's think about this
Probably that's okay and it

336
00:14:13,300 --> 00:14:17,200
probably wasn't maybe at a
horrible thing for her to do and

337
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,200
I've had it before especially in
the football context.

338
00:14:19,700 --> 00:14:21,900
Someone come up to me once one
child was really distressed.

339
00:14:21,900 --> 00:14:24,200
I don't you know, I wasn't
saying he's wrong, you've got to

340
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,800
make sure they're feeling so you
know understood and you say what

341
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,000
you're feeling is absolutely
fine.

342
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,200
Of course, of course, you'd be
upset at this but then kind of

343
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:32,400
just nudging them in the
direction of.

344
00:14:32,700 --> 00:14:35,100
Well what can you do about it?
And is it the end of the world?

345
00:14:35,100 --> 00:14:37,500
Because someone had said to him
that his his football team was

346
00:14:37,500 --> 00:14:40,200
rubbish.
That was literally it and I, you

347
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,200
know, take a look.
This is a I promise you, I

348
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,200
promise you, as you grow up, if
you're into football, people are

349
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,000
going to say a lot worse about
your tea and then they simply

350
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,100
their rubbish and it's just like
cool like learning where the

351
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:54,200
line is what's acceptable and
what you can do to actually take

352
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,500
the joke and and try it and
twist it into something funny

353
00:14:56,500 --> 00:14:57,800
and that everyone can laugh
about.

354
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,400
I don't about you, but I find
that every year.

355
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,800
There's always one or two
children, maybe a couple more

356
00:15:01,900 --> 00:15:03,800
who are just really, really,
really bad losers, right?

357
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,600
Like they visibly less mature
than the other children.

358
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,500
They haven't sort of learn that
lesson that we're talking about

359
00:15:08,500 --> 00:15:11,200
now that humility and they kind
of stand out as like, oh, oh,

360
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:12,700
okay.
You know, you're sort of being

361
00:15:12,700 --> 00:15:15,100
at maybe a little bit, little
bit childish, you know, younger

362
00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:17,200
than your age in terms of your
reaction to this.

363
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:22,000
And I find it's actually really
hard not to in the moment when

364
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,100
they're sort of like sulking
about losing or making a bit.

365
00:15:24,100 --> 00:15:27,400
Yes, stropping or whatever to
kind of Pander to them and it's

366
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,000
taken me years to learn to be a
little bit harsh with them

367
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,700
because I found that that does
seem to work better need to

368
00:15:33,700 --> 00:15:35,400
teach them a lesson.
I'm just, I just call them out

369
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,700
but no, no, you're just, you're
being a really bad loser right

370
00:15:37,700 --> 00:15:41,000
now and it's, you know, you're
making it ever seen your makeup.

371
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,000
Make yourself a look at.
Look a little bit silly in front

372
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,400
of everyone.
You lost the game.

373
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,400
You need to get over it and then
ignored absolutely just just

374
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,100
move on.
It's like the I think those

375
00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:52,600
children perhaps through no
fault of anyone because I would

376
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,800
have done it as well.
Have been pounded to know that

377
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,500
they'll do that.
Then someone got no, don't worry

378
00:15:56,500 --> 00:15:58,300
little play again, we'll play
another round of.

379
00:15:58,300 --> 00:16:00,700
Maybe you'll win that one and
then go out of our way to make

380
00:16:00,700 --> 00:16:02,200
them win and then they let them.
Yeah.

381
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,100
It's but they and actually
sometimes they don't they don't

382
00:16:05,100 --> 00:16:08,500
win the next game and it's worse
this backfires, right?

383
00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:11,000
And and you know what?
I'm going to jump on what you're

384
00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:13,500
in there because it's something
that really frustrates me about

385
00:16:13,500 --> 00:16:15,400
people who do not work in
schools.

386
00:16:15,900 --> 00:16:19,400
The kind of people who say, ah,
kids these days, there's no

387
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,900
losers.
They all win at they, sheriff in

388
00:16:21,900 --> 00:16:24,900
sports, they are no winners.
And look, I know there are

389
00:16:24,900 --> 00:16:26,500
stories of that happening,
right?

390
00:16:26,700 --> 00:16:29,200
But it's just not true.
There are winners and losers

391
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,500
constantly in school.
Friday celebration assembly is

392
00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:36,200
all about who wins trophies, who
wins tournaments, how we lost

393
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,500
the other schools and we came
second how we lost in the

394
00:16:38,500 --> 00:16:41,300
quarterfinals.
How actually these children One,

395
00:16:41,300 --> 00:16:43,000
the cross-country race.
Let's give them a round of

396
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,200
applause and then let's give a
separate Round of Applause for

397
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,700
everyone who took part.
It's actually not really

398
00:16:47,700 --> 00:16:50,000
ingrained in the culture that we
don't have winners and losers

399
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,300
and I think people kind of just
read it in the press and I

400
00:16:53,300 --> 00:16:56,000
snowflake generation they can't
have winners or losers.

401
00:16:56,700 --> 00:16:58,400
What?
Actually, you know, a lot of the

402
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,900
time there are and children like
you're saying we recognize, it's

403
00:17:02,900 --> 00:17:05,200
bad to not lose.
If you go through your whole

404
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,000
childhood not losing, you're
going to become a bad loser.

405
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,599
And I think yeah, one thing that
we're stuck with me was When I

406
00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:14,500
was younger, I was definitely
that bad loser 100%.

407
00:17:14,500 --> 00:17:16,900
That was me, right?
Because I was ultra competitive,

408
00:17:17,300 --> 00:17:20,599
and I think as you get older, if
you're not taught it, you kind

409
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:23,900
of have to teach yourself that.
Actually, you're the annoying

410
00:17:23,900 --> 00:17:25,700
one, it no one wants to play
with you anymore.

411
00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:26,900
No one wants to play against
you.

412
00:17:26,900 --> 00:17:30,500
If you win and you're happy and
you gloat and then you lose and

413
00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:32,800
you moan and you complain.
Someone will speak into Middle

414
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,100
School.
It was early on in my career.

415
00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:35,500
As you know, when there's the
kind of lessons come in and you

416
00:17:35,500 --> 00:17:37,000
just remember the Mueller.
I never thought about that

417
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,700
before, absolutely.
And it's that classic thing of

418
00:17:39,700 --> 00:17:42,000
like, maybe it was Sports are
something.

419
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,900
We had to pick some children to
take part in this competition

420
00:17:44,900 --> 00:17:47,500
and my natural go to.
As I ought don't just pick all

421
00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:49,300
the sporty.
Kids, try to be more fair and

422
00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:51,400
like pick a more a fair
selection, right?

423
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:52,600
I think, you know, I'm going to
say, don't you?

424
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:53,900
Absolutely.
And someone was like, no, no,

425
00:17:53,900 --> 00:17:57,400
no, here--like, know pick your
sporty, kids are like because

426
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,800
there are 12 other competitions
going on this term for all of

427
00:18:00,808 --> 00:18:03,100
the different academic things
and stuff in school, and

428
00:18:03,100 --> 00:18:05,700
celebrations assemblies, and
quite often, and we're sort of

429
00:18:05,708 --> 00:18:08,200
playing on stereo types here.
But they were saying quite often

430
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,000
those sported children, the ones
that are really into that sport.

431
00:18:11,100 --> 00:18:12,300
Port.
That's their only passion and

432
00:18:12,300 --> 00:18:13,700
they don't really like math.
So they don't really like

433
00:18:13,700 --> 00:18:14,900
English.
Obviously, that's not always the

434
00:18:14,900 --> 00:18:17,400
case, but it is sometimes and
they were like, so don't don't

435
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,000
deprive them of potentially, the
only chance they're going to get

436
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,000
to win something because you're
too worried about the way it

437
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,500
looks.
You know, you're too old.

438
00:18:24,500 --> 00:18:27,100
But that child maybe has, you
know, I don't want it to look

439
00:18:27,100 --> 00:18:28,300
like.
I'm just favoring the ones that

440
00:18:28,300 --> 00:18:30,500
are into sports.
I know do pick them because

441
00:18:30,500 --> 00:18:32,600
that's what it's for like you.
They want to go and compete in

442
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,200
this thing and that's what
they're good at.

443
00:18:34,300 --> 00:18:37,600
And I remember this vividly
because that teacher was the Art

444
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,900
Expert school and she made that
exact point about.

445
00:18:41,100 --> 00:18:43,700
Right, because she said, we're
doing an art competition this

446
00:18:43,700 --> 00:18:47,300
time and all the artists will be
celebrated and the ones who

447
00:18:47,300 --> 00:18:49,000
aren't these.
Unbelievable piece of art,

448
00:18:49,100 --> 00:18:50,800
they'll be the ones at the
front, who gets shown off

449
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,500
because they're unbelievable
artists who've done this amazing

450
00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:54,200
work.
Yeah.

451
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,700
And the children, who like you
just said her a sporty who maybe

452
00:18:57,700 --> 00:18:59,200
aren't bothered aren't
interested.

453
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,400
Don't enter that competition.
Suddenly when it like you said

454
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,400
when it becomes sports day,
maybe they're just, you know,

455
00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:08,000
they're frustrated because now
this is where I excel and this

456
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,600
is where actually we should let
those children Excel.

457
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,400
And let everyone else see what
excellence in something looks

458
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,500
like and join in.
It's not either or it can be

459
00:19:17,500 --> 00:19:19,100
both right.
Yeah, definitely.

460
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:21,600
Rather than taking away from
them and just showing them that

461
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:22,700
site.
No, it's not about how good you

462
00:19:22,700 --> 00:19:24,100
are.
It's about making everyone feel

463
00:19:24,100 --> 00:19:25,800
good.
So we've put you up here with

464
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,200
these other children who have no
interest in the sport just to

465
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,200
look good.
Yeah, is actually I think?

466
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,300
Yeah, they were right.
It was a good lesson to learn,

467
00:19:33,100 --> 00:19:35,300
it was really good.
I love those lessons because I

468
00:19:35,300 --> 00:19:37,500
still draw in the mirror and I
bet every teacher does that

469
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,000
those those teachers who really
in their early stage of their

470
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,500
career.
Molded the kind of teach they

471
00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:45,000
are because well, you know,
whether you like to think it or

472
00:19:45,008 --> 00:19:47,100
not.
And I like to say it's all the

473
00:19:47,100 --> 00:19:49,200
time.
My student teacher as a student,

474
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,700
when I went into a school to
train for my first year, still

475
00:19:53,700 --> 00:19:56,500
good friends with this person
and you're good friends with her

476
00:19:56,500 --> 00:19:59,800
as well.
She I walked in and I was in all

477
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,300
I was in awe of her teaching and
I remember thinking to myself

478
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,800
like after I even half a day of
someone who's never been in a

479
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,000
classroom before I thought to
myself.

480
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,900
Cool.
I'm just going to copy her.

481
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,000
Her.
Because she does everything.

482
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,700
Exact she's happy.
She's lovely with the children.

483
00:20:16,700 --> 00:20:19,100
She's patient.
She doesn't shout.

484
00:20:19,100 --> 00:20:21,300
She listens to them.
She's firm.

485
00:20:21,300 --> 00:20:26,300
She's strict and fair and she
was just helped me so much that

486
00:20:26,300 --> 00:20:28,800
I always tell her.
Now, I say, you know, you are

487
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,600
me, like you are what I want to
be as a teacher and that's what

488
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:37,600
I've made my cell phone.
I think I learned 99.9 percent

489
00:20:37,900 --> 00:20:40,300
of everything that it means to
be a teacher and all of my

490
00:20:40,300 --> 00:20:44,300
teaching skills.
When I got the job and, you

491
00:20:44,308 --> 00:20:46,300
know, that might sound like, I'm
just saying, I wouldn't work

492
00:20:46,300 --> 00:20:49,100
very hard in my training here,
but genuinely know, it's just

493
00:20:49,100 --> 00:20:51,300
something else, isn't it having
your own class?

494
00:20:51,300 --> 00:20:54,500
And suddenly it really is your
responsibility and not kind of

495
00:20:54,500 --> 00:20:56,800
right, you know, not doing
essays and and having to go to

496
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,300
university every now and then or
whatever your course is, I just

497
00:21:00,300 --> 00:21:03,500
yeah, I look back and I'm like,
oh man, no, my pgce here my

498
00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:05,800
training year that was great.
It gave me all the pedagogy in

499
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:06,900
the foundation and the
knowledge.

500
00:21:06,900 --> 00:21:09,400
Sure.
But that Inky tear that first

501
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:10,900
year my what would be an easy
two?

502
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,800
Here.
Now, that's where I learned,

503
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,900
everything.
Absolutely, everything from

504
00:21:14,900 --> 00:21:17,600
stuff like that.
Seeing other people, how many,

505
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,000
and how many weeks I'm going to
ask you a strange question here.

506
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,600
Like hypothetical.
Okay, so you did a one year

507
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,900
course to learn how to become a
teacher at University, right?

508
00:21:24,900 --> 00:21:27,100
Yeah.
How many weeks into the job?

509
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,300
Did you feel like you learned
more than what you did?

510
00:21:29,300 --> 00:21:32,100
The whole year before I reckon
with, in a month?

511
00:21:32,300 --> 00:21:33,700
So if you all week time.
Ugly.

512
00:21:33,700 --> 00:21:34,300
Yeah.
Yeah.

513
00:21:34,300 --> 00:21:36,900
The first time the first, yeah,
let's call it a turn to be safe.

514
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:37,800
Yeah.
Yeah.

515
00:21:37,900 --> 00:21:40,200
And I think that just goes to
show what you're saying, and I

516
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,500
think most people have the Same
thing there is no replacement

517
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:45,700
for doing the job.
And I think, if you're what you

518
00:21:45,700 --> 00:21:48,100
need to have before going into
your first year is probably

519
00:21:48,300 --> 00:21:51,500
really strong subject, knowledge
in like the basics in the

520
00:21:51,500 --> 00:21:53,800
foundation's.
You never going to know the ins

521
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,700
and outs of ancient Egypt before
you start, because you might be

522
00:21:56,700 --> 00:21:58,200
teaching them.
I know you might be teaching HD,

523
00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,300
you might be teaching about
rivers.

524
00:21:59,300 --> 00:22:01,800
You might be teaching about, you
know, whatever it is that,

525
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,200
you've got specific to your
curriculum.

526
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,900
In the afternoon, you don't need
to be a master at that but the

527
00:22:05,900 --> 00:22:08,600
basic English and maths
curriculum and science.

528
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,300
I'd say Feel strong at that.
Cool.

529
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:14,600
That's that's almost and you
know your basic pedagogy that's

530
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,700
almost all you're going to need
before you start, isn't it?

531
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,100
I didn't know what I was doing
when I started.

532
00:22:19,100 --> 00:22:20,800
I'm not you know I'm not afraid
to admit it because I think a

533
00:22:20,808 --> 00:22:23,000
lot of people feel like that and
they don't want to admit it

534
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,800
because we all know we have to
pretend, we know everything.

535
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,800
I I didn't have the foggiest
clue what I was doing when I

536
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,800
started.
And I let you said that first

537
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,800
term, I just learned everything.
I learnt everything.

538
00:22:33,100 --> 00:22:35,600
And, you know, I look back, and
it's funny because I was super

539
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,200
worried about it or and I look
back on that.

540
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,500
Know we were, we were all there.
We were all there.

541
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,100
Are some are people, you know,
some are more confident than

542
00:22:41,100 --> 00:22:42,700
others.
It's just natural, but I can

543
00:22:42,700 --> 00:22:44,700
confidently say, I was on.
I was on the bottom end of that

544
00:22:44,700 --> 00:22:46,600
Spectrum.
I did not know what I was doing

545
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,500
and I picked up on the job and
it didn't take long to put all

546
00:22:49,500 --> 00:22:52,200
of that training into practice
and make it make sense, but it

547
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,400
was together and how invaluable
just on this, know, how

548
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,800
invaluable was it going and
watching teachers, teach it was

549
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,300
the the most valuable thing
without it, it would have taken

550
00:23:03,300 --> 00:23:05,900
infinitely longer, you know?
I mean, that's where I picked it

551
00:23:05,900 --> 00:23:07,900
up.
That's how I got good was just

552
00:23:07,900 --> 00:23:10,300
like, you take something and
back into your Classroom and do

553
00:23:10,300 --> 00:23:11,800
it.
Yeah exactly.

554
00:23:11,900 --> 00:23:13,800
Yeah and you start to understand
because you're doing in your

555
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,000
classroom you start to
understand why it works or why

556
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,600
you do it.
It's not just in a book anymore.

557
00:23:17,700 --> 00:23:20,100
Yeah, for sure.
And like I think what we're

558
00:23:20,100 --> 00:23:22,400
going to have to do is I'm
really looking forward to this

559
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:23,600
again.
This, we've got a whole list,

560
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,400
but what I think we'll do a
whole episode on, starting off

561
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:27,700
as a teacher, maybe training.
Yeah.

562
00:23:27,700 --> 00:23:29,500
That's going to be our new thing
in every episode.

563
00:23:29,500 --> 00:23:32,100
Now we'll say, we're going to do
a whole episode on something

564
00:23:32,100 --> 00:23:35,400
else and one day you'll be an
episode but we've got director

565
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,000
time.
We've got training.

566
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,400
Yeah, you had a bunch of other
things as well.

567
00:23:39,500 --> 00:23:41,100
We anyway, we've got a whole
list.

568
00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:42,400
Yeah.
Should we move on?

569
00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:45,100
What I really wanted to get into
this week again hater?

570
00:23:45,100 --> 00:23:47,500
Because like you said the list
is a log was I wrong.

571
00:23:47,500 --> 00:23:49,500
Luckily, for you guys, if you
enjoy the podcast, we've got

572
00:23:49,500 --> 00:23:51,200
enough content until Christmas
25.

573
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,600
So, you know, that's kind of
what I wanted to talk about this

574
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,500
week was something that's really
specific to us, I suppose.

575
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,400
But that I am really passionate
about talking to other people

576
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:06,500
about and it is surrounding
basically, our careers, our

577
00:24:06,500 --> 00:24:09,100
careers have gone on very
similar paths and how we've

578
00:24:09,100 --> 00:24:12,400
ended up Right now, both of us,
we work part-time in school.

579
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,500
We do three, four days a week.
It's been a long journey to get

580
00:24:15,500 --> 00:24:18,400
there.
What we want to do is talk

581
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,200
about, you know, the pros and
cons of going part-time.

582
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,900
But to give a real context of
how we got there.

583
00:24:23,900 --> 00:24:27,000
Because we did start as
full-time teachers and we were

584
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,100
in that almost honeymoon, phase
of being a newly qualified

585
00:24:30,100 --> 00:24:31,800
teacher.
Absolutely loving the job.

586
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,700
And we just wanted to give the
context of our business that we

587
00:24:35,700 --> 00:24:38,500
have outside as well, and how
they kind of the to Interlink.

588
00:24:38,500 --> 00:24:43,100
And and just Yeah, talk to you
guys about how, you know, the

589
00:24:43,100 --> 00:24:48,900
job is stressful and how we over
time have come to a kind of

590
00:24:48,900 --> 00:24:51,800
conclusion that it's all about
balance and it's ended up just

591
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,800
being free.
But we've you know, we've been

592
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,300
on that journey of thinking
about distress journey and time,

593
00:24:57,300 --> 00:24:58,400
right?
Well I think we've been at the

594
00:24:58,408 --> 00:24:59,500
bottom.
We've been in the top you know?

595
00:24:59,900 --> 00:25:01,000
And I think that's part of the
story.

596
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,800
Do you mind if I jump in and
talk about, go go for past a

597
00:25:03,808 --> 00:25:05,000
bit.
So you'll probably notice, guys,

598
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,500
there's a little logo in the
bottom left of our of our

599
00:25:08,500 --> 00:25:11,700
podcast.
That called picture our icon and

600
00:25:11,700 --> 00:25:14,900
that is typically picture mate.
The thing.

601
00:25:14,900 --> 00:25:19,300
What's the word thumbnails?
One more, the things that thing

602
00:25:19,300 --> 00:25:21,500
that we've made like five
thousand dollars on YouTube

603
00:25:21,500 --> 00:25:22,400
thumbnails.
That's the one.

604
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,500
Yeah.
So but so back in Arkham is

605
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:26,600
obviously about the honeymoon.
Period.

606
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:27,100
Absolutely.
Right.

607
00:25:27,100 --> 00:25:29,900
Where we were just like every
part of our life was teaching

608
00:25:29,900 --> 00:25:32,900
and it was just it's something
else we loved it and we yeah

609
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,400
yeah yeah, it's but is
everything.

610
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,800
You know, you're hot, you're
consumed by it because we're so

611
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,600
passionate so into it.
We didn't do anything but think

612
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,600
about it.
And obviously the best part of

613
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,700
teaching is as we've always
said, being in front of the

614
00:25:43,700 --> 00:25:47,200
kids, like, we love being in
classrooms, but it didn't take

615
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,400
too long.
I'd say year or two to realize

616
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,400
that teaching is a lot more to
it and, you know, I won't go

617
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,000
into the details because we have
talked about in previous

618
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,900
episode, but to summarize, there
is a ton of admin.

619
00:25:58,100 --> 00:25:59,600
There's a lot of marketing,
there's a lot of planning.

620
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,900
There's a lot of other stuff
that goes around teaching and we

621
00:26:01,900 --> 00:26:03,600
were like, ha, well, this bit
sucks.

622
00:26:03,700 --> 00:26:05,800
Yeah, this is none of these.
Like that's not the good bit.

623
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,700
This is the business that we do.
We just have to do.

624
00:26:07,700 --> 00:26:09,700
Can I jump on that really
quickly and make another Point

625
00:26:09,700 --> 00:26:12,000
on that because it's linked to
that and like you're saying

626
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,400
about the admin sucks and stuff.
What we also noticed was a maybe

627
00:26:15,500 --> 00:26:18,500
you guys on the ladder of the
main pace car, feel this, we

628
00:26:18,500 --> 00:26:22,200
kind of knew already where we'd
be in five years so after one or

629
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,000
two years of teaching you know
we could look at the pay ladder,

630
00:26:25,100 --> 00:26:28,100
the stagnating pay ladder at the
time with 10 percent increase.

631
00:26:28,100 --> 00:26:32,800
And you know we could see that
in 2025 whatever it was we're

632
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,500
going to be an x amount of money
doing this many hours still and

633
00:26:36,500 --> 00:26:38,700
watching house prices completely
outrun that.

634
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,100
And and just notice that we're
getting further and further away

635
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:42,600
from being able to afford our
own place.

636
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,100
We wanted to get on the ladder
quickly as soon as possible.

637
00:26:45,500 --> 00:26:49,400
And the only way to do that
really was to try and become an

638
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,500
assistant head or ahead in that
time which wasn't realistic

639
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:56,000
after 23 years of teaching and
plow our whole lives into it or

640
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,200
come up with another way of
trying to make some money,

641
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,100
that's time.
Efficient and like Hayden carry

642
00:27:00,100 --> 00:27:02,200
on saying now is the part of the
job with up.

643
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,200
So I'll jump straight to what we
did.

644
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,100
You know, we got into tutoring
as a lot of teachers do and it

645
00:27:07,100 --> 00:27:09,300
was I remember I still have a
vivid memory of walking down a

646
00:27:09,300 --> 00:27:11,600
corridor Go with you and just
talking about how I always had

647
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,200
this idea I've always been into
business anyway and I like the

648
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,000
idea of running making something
and I was like, I want to do

649
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,500
something with tutoring.
I want to make like a tutoring

650
00:27:19,500 --> 00:27:21,400
business.
I remember talking to you and

651
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,400
you were we we were fed not new
friends at this time, but we

652
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,100
were only like a one or two
years into our kind of

653
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,300
friendship.
And you think about the fact

654
00:27:28,300 --> 00:27:30,500
that, you know, it was only
through working in the same

655
00:27:30,500 --> 00:27:32,800
school that we kind of became
closer friends I suppose.

656
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,500
Yeah just acquaintances and your
response was very much in line

657
00:27:36,500 --> 00:27:38,500
with like what I was thinking
and I was like oh that's cool.

658
00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:40,500
You know we're very much.
On the same, wavelength here of

659
00:27:40,500 --> 00:27:42,400
this kind of passion to make
something else.

660
00:27:43,300 --> 00:27:44,700
And that's, that's kind of where
it was.

661
00:27:44,900 --> 00:27:46,900
The idea was born and it just
progressed from there.

662
00:27:46,900 --> 00:27:49,700
And one day we spent all this
time dreaming and talked about

663
00:27:49,700 --> 00:27:51,800
yet, we should do a business.
We could, we could start

664
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,600
tutoring, we could do this, we
could do that.

665
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,400
I think I'm like, people can
resonate with that by the way.

666
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,300
The idea of, you know, a lot of
people do think they go, oh, we

667
00:27:58,300 --> 00:28:01,900
can do this or that.
And and, and it's all about kind

668
00:28:01,900 --> 00:28:03,700
of just trying, it just doing
it.

669
00:28:03,900 --> 00:28:05,600
Yeah.
And that's what you did.

670
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,600
We did the classic thing.
We talked about it.

671
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,300
A lot, as most of us, We talked
about it but never do it because

672
00:28:11,300 --> 00:28:13,600
it's a lot to do and you were
like, let's just do it.

673
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,400
Mmm, I remember.
Sounds like, yeah, we should.

674
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,500
We should do not know.
Like literally, let's like let's

675
00:28:17,500 --> 00:28:18,800
literally make a business right
now.

676
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,300
Let's go on companies house.
The government website and just

677
00:28:21,300 --> 00:28:24,100
make it absolutely name.
We do.

678
00:28:24,100 --> 00:28:27,200
I remember, we went to your
house that evening like you said

679
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,100
just taking that first plunge,
right?

680
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,500
That's what started this
business off because we could

681
00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:34,400
have really easily just not done
that but it took us about 10

682
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,300
minutes.
We thought of the name, think

683
00:28:36,300 --> 00:28:39,300
honestly, that's why it's top
the Lutheran as you can see.

684
00:28:43,100 --> 00:28:47,300
What was the name for someone is
good at something or what we

685
00:28:47,308 --> 00:28:49,400
did, what we doing?
All right.

686
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,200
I know, I know that you're
thinking of a Funny Story.

687
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:53,900
We can tell you later about our
name, but we'll come back to

688
00:28:53,900 --> 00:28:56,600
that point later model here.
This is a hilarious story about

689
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:57,900
our name, but we'll come back to
it.

690
00:28:58,600 --> 00:28:59,800
So yeah, we start, we start our
company.

691
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,000
We started, we were super
buzzing because we love teaching

692
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,400
and we were like, Hey, what how
can we do this thing?

693
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,500
Where we only teach were like,
let's make our own Tutoring

694
00:29:06,500 --> 00:29:08,800
company and then we can
literally teach and it's going

695
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:13,400
to be sunny All this admin body
has down from the top down SLT.

696
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,800
Making up the wait a minute.
We are SL, T, omorrow business.

697
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,100
We, yeah, we did it.
So, you know, being passionate

698
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,200
and a bit younger than we
didn't, we didn't have our own

699
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:22,800
houses and stuff.
We would still work on that.

700
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,600
We were really, really driven to
do this thing.

701
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,300
And like you said, we're at the
bottom of the ladder.

702
00:29:26,300 --> 00:29:28,500
We want we needed more money.
If we were ever going to have

703
00:29:28,500 --> 00:29:32,100
any chance of getting on the
just for a context, very

704
00:29:32,100 --> 00:29:36,200
quickly.
Our annual salary was about, I

705
00:29:36,208 --> 00:29:38,900
think we worked out the time.
It was 12 times less than the

706
00:29:38,900 --> 00:29:41,600
average.
Price in our area, 12 times

707
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:42,700
less.
You think about a mortgage is

708
00:29:42,700 --> 00:29:45,600
four and a half five times.
We had no chance and we needed

709
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,800
the 10% deposit.
Yeah, exactly.

710
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,500
So there's a lot of driving
forces here and obviously,

711
00:29:50,500 --> 00:29:52,500
bounced off our passion as well
for teaching.

712
00:29:52,500 --> 00:29:54,600
So it's just everything was just
in going in the right direction

713
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,100
for us here.
So, we did it.

714
00:29:56,108 --> 00:29:57,800
We made it.
We made a Tutoring company and

715
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,000
it was on top of our full-time
jobs and that's important

716
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,100
context.
Because actually that, you know,

717
00:30:02,100 --> 00:30:04,200
that that is enough to put off a
lot of people, it's an

718
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,600
exhausting job as it is.
So we started building this this

719
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,000
company but it was mainly on our
Cans.

720
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,300
And it was our, it quickly
consumed kind of every evening

721
00:30:13,300 --> 00:30:15,400
as well and started eating into
our actual time.

722
00:30:15,500 --> 00:30:18,300
And I think the big thing Point
here to make is that we fully

723
00:30:18,300 --> 00:30:19,900
understand that no difference in
that position.

724
00:30:20,100 --> 00:30:22,100
If you think about people with
families that it's just

725
00:30:22,100 --> 00:30:22,700
impossible.
Yeah.

726
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,600
If you think about people, you
know, caring do to, you know, we

727
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,800
very much took advantage of the
fact we were in our young 20s

728
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,700
living at home.
Yeah, we could just plow our

729
00:30:32,700 --> 00:30:35,000
time into it.
So we're not saying, hey, why

730
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,800
doesn't everyone just do this
because there's nothing more

731
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,300
annoying than when business
owners.

732
00:30:38,300 --> 00:30:41,000
Say, why don't you?
Just do 70 hour weeks all the

733
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,700
time because no one's did you
see some like it some diary from

734
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:49,700
a some CEO that's a pocket void
the name as I also say the name?

735
00:30:49,900 --> 00:30:51,800
Yeah I was thinking you know,
just a book or anyone, you know.

736
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,800
And they're like, yeah, I send
you look into the history and

737
00:30:53,808 --> 00:30:57,100
it's like yeah.
Millionaire parents would just

738
00:30:57,100 --> 00:30:58,700
give they just given the time
and money to do it.

739
00:30:58,700 --> 00:31:00,400
But we, you know, we are
recognize our own privilege,

740
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,400
that's for sure.
We were really privileged to be

741
00:31:02,700 --> 00:31:04,100
living at home.
Still at the time, we had that

742
00:31:04,100 --> 00:31:05,900
free time, we didn't have a
family to look after all this

743
00:31:05,900 --> 00:31:07,800
stuff.
But yeah, we jumped on it and

744
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,000
but it was stressful still, I'm
not going to Like oh yeah, it

745
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,800
was just it was just, you know
it was a Dream from then on it

746
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,600
was easy.
It was very, very time-consuming

747
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,700
and it absolutely 8 into our
personal lives.

748
00:31:16,700 --> 00:31:20,200
I think it kind of accelerated
our thoughts towards, you know,

749
00:31:20,300 --> 00:31:22,100
thinking that teaching is not
long term.

750
00:31:22,500 --> 00:31:23,700
Yeah, it's kind of depressing,
isn't it?

751
00:31:23,700 --> 00:31:25,600
But it's something that a lot of
people.

752
00:31:25,900 --> 00:31:28,400
A lot of people agree with.
I think teaching is not long

753
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:29,500
time.
When and usually, when I ask

754
00:31:29,500 --> 00:31:32,600
someone directly will be
teaching at 65, you know, I'm

755
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,100
talking to people they're like
in their 30s and they look at me

756
00:31:35,100 --> 00:31:37,300
as if like that, obviously
you're joking, of course, I

757
00:31:37,300 --> 00:31:39,700
won't be, they then they usually
say things, That I won't be

758
00:31:39,700 --> 00:31:41,400
doing this in 10 years.
There's no way it's a burned-out

759
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:42,700
job.
I did, you know what, someone

760
00:31:42,700 --> 00:31:45,800
said to me once was, I asked
that same question because I

761
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,600
always find it really
interesting, because I've

762
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,800
genuinely never heard someone
say yes, right?

763
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,100
So, that's crazy to me.
Like what a situation for a job

764
00:31:53,100 --> 00:31:58,400
to be in and it really hit me
when they said, no, no, you look

765
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,300
worse.
Come, you know, if I have to

766
00:32:00,300 --> 00:32:04,500
take a job, I'll just, I'll just
go and work in a shop like that.

767
00:32:04,500 --> 00:32:05,500
I'll just go and work in the
shop.

768
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,200
Obviously, I worked in as the
absolute Saints, working,

769
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:09,700
though.
Ups.

770
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,900
But the idea of a teacher with
such a skilled, like set of

771
00:32:13,900 --> 00:32:15,500
three precise, isn't it being a
teacher?

772
00:32:15,500 --> 00:32:19,200
It's a very, you know, a certain
set of skills saying that they

773
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,000
don't want to continue using
them because the job is, so

774
00:32:22,100 --> 00:32:25,100
toxic to them in the long term
and burns them out that they

775
00:32:25,100 --> 00:32:27,300
want a job, that's different
somewhere else where they don't

776
00:32:27,300 --> 00:32:28,700
have to have those out of whack
stresses.

777
00:32:28,700 --> 00:32:31,800
They want to go home and that's
the end of their job and we

778
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,700
definitely recognize that.
I think we were very observant.

779
00:32:34,700 --> 00:32:36,500
We listen to a lot of other
people, and we get to see that

780
00:32:36,500 --> 00:32:38,100
future.
Like you said, we saw our paper

781
00:32:38,100 --> 00:32:40,700
aggression.
And we were like, oh, okay.

782
00:32:40,700 --> 00:32:44,800
So that's kind of it in a few
years time and no one seems to

783
00:32:44,808 --> 00:32:45,900
be lasting in the career
forever.

784
00:32:45,900 --> 00:32:48,600
Anyway, so we kind of need a
kind of need another way out of

785
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,000
this Rat Race for ourselves, and
that's kind of, you know,

786
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,400
there's all these factors that
were born into into the into the

787
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,400
kind of Tutoring company, but
that was five years ago.

788
00:32:57,700 --> 00:33:01,000
So, we've built this company
over five years and the first

789
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,600
three and a half, almost four
years of that time.

790
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,100
We were building that company on
top of our full-time teaching

791
00:33:08,100 --> 00:33:12,700
jobs, And I can speak for both
of us when I say that that curve

792
00:33:12,700 --> 00:33:15,700
of kind of stress and time we
were having to put into the

793
00:33:15,700 --> 00:33:19,100
business as it just naturally
grew because we were passionate

794
00:33:19,100 --> 00:33:21,800
about it and we're very driven
to keep growing.

795
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,100
We didn't want to just sort of
stopped.

796
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,400
Yeah it it will you know we hit
the top, didn't we?

797
00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:29,800
It was like we can't keep doing
this and we both had a bit of a

798
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,000
over the summer holidays, wasn't
that we sort of had a

799
00:33:32,500 --> 00:33:34,100
discussion.
Remember meeting we were like

800
00:33:34,100 --> 00:33:36,000
we're burning out.
We are going to.

801
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,900
If we do this for another year,
we're going to burn out like

802
00:33:37,900 --> 00:33:39,200
we're not as young as we were
soul mates.

803
00:33:39,300 --> 00:33:41,900
A seven-year-old extra.
We're not be no, we are not in

804
00:33:41,908 --> 00:33:44,600
that honeymoon period anymore.
It's it we're finding and more

805
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,800
and more stresses of this job.
We can't do this.

806
00:33:48,300 --> 00:33:52,200
So what do we do at that point?
It became more and more

807
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,500
realistic for us, still a risk.
Okay?

808
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,600
Because at this point, I would
say we start to do some maths.

809
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,800
Basically, we start to say,
okay, you know what is the mass

810
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,600
of going part-time?
And this really shocked me even

811
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,100
though I kind of knew the logic
I kind of understood.

812
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:08,900
What would happen if I took the
hit?

813
00:34:09,300 --> 00:34:11,900
I was nowhere near as bad as I
thought it was going to be.

814
00:34:12,199 --> 00:34:15,100
So we did some maths.
Basically the idea of their

815
00:34:15,100 --> 00:34:17,600
part-time contract is that we
are work three days a week out

816
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,900
of 5, okay?
So where our time in school

817
00:34:21,900 --> 00:34:25,699
reduced by 40%, which means we
can spend days on our business,

818
00:34:25,699 --> 00:34:27,800
which we needed to which freed
up our weekend, which we were

819
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,600
ending up doing it.
And then 40% time.

820
00:34:31,699 --> 00:34:34,699
Reduce Hayden.
You tell them the number.

821
00:34:34,699 --> 00:34:36,300
Yeah.
Hey go down by.

822
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,400
Well, I'm just going to make
this a bit more because most

823
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,400
people would naturally We assume
your payback or go down 40%.

824
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,500
And that's what people do when
they calculate it, but it

825
00:34:43,500 --> 00:34:45,500
doesn't cause you think about
the way tax brackets work.

826
00:34:45,500 --> 00:34:48,400
I won't go into the details.
We actually ended up losing from

827
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,400
our take-home pay almost
precisely 25%.

828
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,900
So it was like, Hang on.
We're losing a quarter of our

829
00:34:55,900 --> 00:34:59,600
pay.
But gaining, 40% of our time,

830
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:04,300
two days 255, time back.
It was not as bad as we thought,

831
00:35:04,300 --> 00:35:05,600
right?
Not nowhere near as bad.

832
00:35:05,607 --> 00:35:09,300
And I think one of the biggest
points for us at that point, was

833
00:35:09,300 --> 00:35:10,800
to look at the difference,
right?

834
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,700
And I would implore everyone to
do this and I'm, well, aware,

835
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,000
we're in the midst of a
cost-of-living crisis.

836
00:35:17,100 --> 00:35:20,600
I'm, well aware that we are on
strike for are paid going up at

837
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,700
the right level.
So me sat here, then also

838
00:35:22,700 --> 00:35:24,000
saying, have you thought about
going part-time?

839
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,900
Might be a little bit
condescending, not the point,

840
00:35:26,900 --> 00:35:29,500
we're trying to Make though is
it's worth looking at the Maths

841
00:35:29,900 --> 00:35:33,900
for your well-being and for your
time, especially number one, if

842
00:35:33,900 --> 00:35:36,300
you have dual income in your
house and you know, that time

843
00:35:36,300 --> 00:35:39,000
can be used doing something else
and your partner, might learn a

844
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,100
certain amount where your bills
are already covered.

845
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,700
But number two, if you are
thinking of doing some kind of

846
00:35:43,700 --> 00:35:46,200
side business, I'm trying to do
something extra as well.

847
00:35:46,500 --> 00:35:50,300
We're actually that amount of
money, The Tipping Point for us

848
00:35:50,300 --> 00:35:53,600
was where we were learning the
difference and a bit extra.

849
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,000
So we are actually from art from
our business.

850
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,400
On the side, we could say, cool
We can take off and take the hit

851
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,000
from our pay by actually replace
it with what we're doing with

852
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,400
our business.
So at no point, was this as much

853
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,700
of a risk as well?
It might be to a lot of people.

854
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,200
So we understand that one.
Again, we're not here being

855
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:10,800
these people saying we're, we
started the business.

856
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:12,800
Why don't you just start a
business or go part-time?

857
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,600
No, it's risky.
We did minimal risk, as we could

858
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,400
because we got the business to a
point where we could replace

859
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:22,500
that income and we've not really
looked back since have we, how's

860
00:36:22,500 --> 00:36:24,400
your well-being been Hayden?
Because we, you know, we talked

861
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,000
about every now and then, but
I'm actually really interested

862
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,300
to Just to take a moment of
reflection now, and that for me,

863
00:36:31,900 --> 00:36:36,000
it's allowed me to fall back in
love with teaching more than I

864
00:36:36,008 --> 00:36:39,600
did at the point where I was
kind of just bang out, and don't

865
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,100
get me wrong.
Of course, we talked about the

866
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,600
pros and cons of teaching, but
it allowed me to really just

867
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,700
focus on going in for three
days, and giving quality

868
00:36:47,900 --> 00:36:51,300
teaching, as much as I can with
someone who isn't an exhausted

869
00:36:51,300 --> 00:36:53,400
shell of a man.
Yeah, it's same.

870
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,400
Steamer for me, it's like it's
allowed me to compartmentalize

871
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:57,500
my time a bit.
More.

872
00:36:57,900 --> 00:37:01,200
Because, as, you know, like
neither of us are particularly

873
00:37:01,300 --> 00:37:04,800
well organized, when it comes
to, like, compartmentalizing our

874
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,700
time normally.
And what we were, what we'd

875
00:37:06,700 --> 00:37:09,400
fallen into was this
amalgamation of.

876
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,800
We just work every hour of every
day kind of, you know, it was

877
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,600
like get the evenings over, we
got stuff to do it.

878
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,700
Yeah, we kind of need to do this
and this, okay, gets the

879
00:37:17,700 --> 00:37:19,400
weekend.
I've got to be planning for

880
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:20,300
that.
Actually, we need to do some

881
00:37:20,300 --> 00:37:23,200
stuff the business as well, and
it was just eating our time.

882
00:37:23,500 --> 00:37:27,900
So for me the, the well-being
Improvement I've had is When it

883
00:37:27,900 --> 00:37:30,200
gets to Saturday and Sunday.
Now I know exactly what I'm

884
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,000
doing.
And it's usually the fact that

885
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,800
I've done all of the business
stuff on that on that Thursday

886
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,800
and Friday.
And I've managed my Monday to

887
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,200
Wednesday is I've done the
school staff and my weekends are

888
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,100
back to me again, which is nice
after many, many years of not

889
00:37:44,100 --> 00:37:46,700
really having that luxury
anymore before our own creation.

890
00:37:46,700 --> 00:37:48,500
You know.
Yeah and exactly that and it

891
00:37:48,500 --> 00:37:52,200
was, you know, we played the
long game and it and it has paid

892
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,200
off and again we're not just
saying this.

893
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,100
Blow is look where we've got its
a genuine conversation.

894
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:01,000
Ation about, you know, flexible
work and it's a big thing for

895
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,600
people coming back from
maternity pay maternity leave.

896
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,200
Sorry, and it's a big thing just
in general for lifestyle.

897
00:38:06,300 --> 00:38:07,600
We've seen in the private
sector.

898
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,500
I don't, you must have seen in
the news head.

899
00:38:09,500 --> 00:38:12,800
And they did a huge experiment
of the four-day working week

900
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,300
where they literally took a day
or at the, the pay stayed the

901
00:38:16,300 --> 00:38:18,200
same.
Some businesses went from an

902
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,800
eight-hour day to attend our
day, so it was still 40 hours of

903
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,100
that makes sense.
So for lots of 10 and 85

904
00:38:23,500 --> 00:38:26,400
wherever they 8 times 5, so it
was like the same hours but they

905
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:30,100
were way more productive.
And the idea of the well-being

906
00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:33,700
impact from having an extra full
day, it takes away from your

907
00:38:33,700 --> 00:38:37,300
weekend.
I hated Sunday's Sundays were

908
00:38:37,300 --> 00:38:40,100
just a day of got a little
planning then we'll do the

909
00:38:40,100 --> 00:38:41,300
washing.
Then we'll do the housework.

910
00:38:41,300 --> 00:38:42,300
Then we do the shopping.
Yeah.

911
00:38:42,300 --> 00:38:44,600
It wasn't a day to yourself.
It was it was another day of

912
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,500
work, but just making sure the
house was running and I know I

913
00:38:47,500 --> 00:38:49,700
know this is another energy
that's even like related to

914
00:38:49,700 --> 00:38:52,500
teaching.
I know this is true because I

915
00:38:52,500 --> 00:38:57,000
spoke at a load of teachers now
where some of them have part

916
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:58,700
Sign contracts, where they work
every morning.

917
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,900
So, they still do five days a
week.

918
00:39:00,900 --> 00:39:03,500
They just finish it.
Maybe like 12 or whatever, and I

919
00:39:03,508 --> 00:39:05,800
spoke to other people who aren't
on the same contract in terms of

920
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,600
pay.
But like us, they will do it in

921
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,400
days, rather than mornings.
And they weren't three days, and

922
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,500
100 percent every single time.
The people are, some of them

923
00:39:13,500 --> 00:39:15,000
have done both.
Actually their most valuable

924
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,600
people to speak to.
Well, they've switched across my

925
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,100
planning partner, my partner
teacher, my job share teacher,

926
00:39:20,100 --> 00:39:22,800
literally has done that.
Come from five mornings and

927
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:27,700
said, it's just so so much
better to have an actual all day

928
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,100
of not working, even though the
three days she does the H of the

929
00:39:30,100 --> 00:39:33,800
same but their condensed into
three days and because when you

930
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,200
work five, morning's, you're
still working five days.

931
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,900
Your days are kind of it's a
workday, you know, it's hard to

932
00:39:38,900 --> 00:39:40,600
be like, oh no, it's not a
workday, it's a half workday.

933
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,300
Well, you still work for like
four or five hours in the

934
00:39:43,300 --> 00:39:44,300
morning.
The work day.

935
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,700
If you getting up to 47 and
having a shower, that's a

936
00:39:46,700 --> 00:39:50,500
workday, in my opinion, not
having a shower jebril, I mean,

937
00:39:50,500 --> 00:39:52,500
having a shower before to hang
on a minute Talent.

938
00:39:52,500 --> 00:39:53,600
I'm pretty sure he never got
before.

939
00:39:53,600 --> 00:40:00,800
Seven and never have a shower.
So, Okay, I'm really looking

940
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,100
forward to this one because it
seems like over the last few

941
00:40:03,107 --> 00:40:05,900
episodes we've had like a new
feature every time and they're

942
00:40:05,900 --> 00:40:07,600
always really cool.
And they're kind of born out of

943
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,700
you guys sending us stories
because I'm constantly asking

944
00:40:10,700 --> 00:40:12,900
them on our Instagram.
So, if you haven't heard, you're

945
00:40:12,900 --> 00:40:15,300
not there already teach sleep,
repeat podcast, go and have a

946
00:40:15,308 --> 00:40:17,700
look on our Instagram because
I'm constantly asking questions

947
00:40:18,100 --> 00:40:20,500
and I'm constantly getting
really cool stories.

948
00:40:20,500 --> 00:40:24,800
And we've had one message that
kind of sparked a thought in me,

949
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,900
that has now snowboard.
And we've got some From

950
00:40:26,900 --> 00:40:29,400
different teachers as well and
different people and and also

951
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,100
just past experiences that we've
heard of, we're going to do an

952
00:40:32,100 --> 00:40:36,300
inspection now Hayden and it's
called Confessions of a teacher

953
00:40:36,300 --> 00:40:38,900
and I know that you've got some
ready as well that I haven't

954
00:40:38,900 --> 00:40:40,800
heard.
I've got some ready that you

955
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,000
haven't heard and I just thought
we could bounce off each other

956
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,400
now.
And these are those really,

957
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,000
really embarrassing stories that
are completely harmless.

958
00:40:47,300 --> 00:40:51,200
But if you ever got caught, or
if someone saw these situations,

959
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,200
you would just be horribly
embarrassed.

960
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,500
So, they're all the moment, of
course, you'll have to guess

961
00:40:55,500 --> 00:40:57,400
which ones are actually us and
we're just Pretend they're

962
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,400
anonymous because I do haters
gonna have a few in there.

963
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,200
That's really him so I thought
we get started.

964
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:04,300
We're going to go back and forth
here.

965
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,600
I'm going to read them out and
we're just gonna blind react to

966
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:07,300
each other's.
Okay.

967
00:41:07,700 --> 00:41:08,700
All right, go for it.
Okay.

968
00:41:08,700 --> 00:41:12,500
Number one, I want sat down on
my teaching chair during

969
00:41:12,500 --> 00:41:18,100
teaching time.
That's a joke that's like this.

970
00:41:18,100 --> 00:41:20,300
And we're gonna you are just
seeing how to react the last.

971
00:41:22,500 --> 00:41:24,300
Wow, our customers are going to
love that.

972
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:31,700
Oh my God, it's so embarrassing.
Ha ha ha.

973
00:41:31,700 --> 00:41:33,700
Gavin will eat some Court Beach,
sitting down.

974
00:41:33,700 --> 00:41:36,700
I'm so lazy, right.
Okay.

975
00:41:36,700 --> 00:41:41,500
Well first it got going on.
I once our God, I once went for

976
00:41:41,500 --> 00:41:44,800
terms from Christmas and to the
end of the year without once

977
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:55,500
looking or marking at the
afternoon, work of my class how

978
00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:01,300
You know how, you know how Dylan
because people are just so busy

979
00:42:01,300 --> 00:42:04,500
marking English and math.
So they're like no, no, no, no.

980
00:42:04,500 --> 00:42:07,800
I'm you know, I'm not saying how
is this guy done that?

981
00:42:08,100 --> 00:42:10,200
I'm saying, how is he got away
of it or she?

982
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:11,400
Oh, I see.
I was just trying to put our

983
00:42:11,408 --> 00:42:12,900
house.
How could he not Mark?

984
00:42:12,900 --> 00:42:14,100
I was no.
Why why?

985
00:42:14,100 --> 00:42:16,700
No no completely.
There's nothing more

986
00:42:16,700 --> 00:42:18,400
demoralizing.
This sat down in the day and

987
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,100
seeing a mass part and an
English part and a topic file.

988
00:42:21,700 --> 00:42:22,800
But I just don't understand
what.

989
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,800
Yeah, because of it depends.
What school year, I guess, I

990
00:42:25,808 --> 00:42:28,000
thought I've just thought most
schools do not think that books

991
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,200
and stuff as for total area,
which was there.

992
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,400
And it was just like it was said
in a proud way as well.

993
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,200
It was said in the proud way, to
me, just clarify quickly, it's

994
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:37,900
not mine.
It was listing.

995
00:42:39,300 --> 00:42:41,800
Anyone's listening to Sade a
little light, which there could

996
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,000
be.
Well, this one's, this is funny

997
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:46,300
because you've not seen this
confession.

998
00:42:46,300 --> 00:42:48,700
I've got, and it's hilariously
related and I'm not gonna lie.

999
00:42:48,900 --> 00:42:51,400
Gotta one up your story.
So, you know, I got someone like

1000
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,900
this in marking, it primary is
ridiculous.

1001
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,800
I'm glad they started with that.
Clearly listen to your girls.

1002
00:42:56,900 --> 00:42:59,000
Hours upon hours every day.
Looking through children's work

1003
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,500
just to do it all again.
The next day, one time in my

1004
00:43:01,500 --> 00:43:05,100
first two years of teaching as a
little win for my own sanity and

1005
00:43:05,100 --> 00:43:07,900
personal time.
I managed not to Mark by our

1006
00:43:07,900 --> 00:43:14,200
ebooks, for two years before
anyone noticed, and I just

1007
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,700
pretended that I thought it was
policy not to question their

1008
00:43:17,700 --> 00:43:22,000
thoughts and beliefs rubbish.
Excuse got away with it.

1009
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,500
Got a way of a simple you're an
idiot.

1010
00:43:23,500 --> 00:43:27,200
Look from the piers That's
unreal.

1011
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,000
That is unreal.
What a line to come out with

1012
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,100
like on the cuff like to I
thought was wrong as if as if

1013
00:43:33,100 --> 00:43:36,900
also, we don't only teach like
we re isn't just, what do you

1014
00:43:36,900 --> 00:43:38,900
think every week?
And they write down their

1015
00:43:38,900 --> 00:43:40,400
thoughts.
We learn about different ways.

1016
00:43:40,500 --> 00:43:42,100
Yeah.
So my class, actually, they swap

1017
00:43:42,100 --> 00:43:46,400
religions every time.
And I don't know if it's all

1018
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,200
about their beliefs and
actually, I don't, I don't think

1019
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,200
it's right to right now books,
because it looks like I'm

1020
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,600
questioning them.
You just imagine some terrible,

1021
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,900
excuse to get away of it.
So there you go.

1022
00:43:54,900 --> 00:43:56,900
That's very funny.
That is It's like basically the

1023
00:43:56,900 --> 00:43:58,600
same story.
That's 10 out of 10.

1024
00:43:58,700 --> 00:44:01,000
Okay, I've got another one here,
and I'm actually jealous of

1025
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,300
this.
I want this store.

1026
00:44:02,300 --> 00:44:04,700
I want to this confession to be
mine and it's not.

1027
00:44:04,700 --> 00:44:06,200
And when this came in, I
thought.

1028
00:44:06,700 --> 00:44:10,200
Oh my gosh.
So this person says I have

1029
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,600
secret access to the stationery,
cupboard key, and feel like I've

1030
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,000
won the lottery.
I have to get into school

1031
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:20,300
before, 7 a.m. or stay after six
so that I can read the cupboard.

1032
00:44:20,300 --> 00:44:23,600
But I have glue sticks, Galore,
and all the colored Post-it

1033
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:24,900
notes that you could.
Imagine.

1034
00:44:25,300 --> 00:44:28,200
I saw I was honestly, I replied
straight away.

1035
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:32,800
This one saying, like what I am
so jealous and she just went,

1036
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,200
yeah, A girl's, gotta do what a
girl's gotta do, the idea of

1037
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,500
getting it back trying to get in
before SLT, to go to a cupboard

1038
00:44:38,500 --> 00:44:41,200
because you have none of it.
Otherwise why aren't there any

1039
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,900
way I can eat it so bad.
Yeah yeah that's true.

1040
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:49,400
I bet every school has at least
one Captain hoarder just a

1041
00:44:49,408 --> 00:44:52,200
person they know to go to is
like they always like me here,

1042
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,000
conquering Comic-Con.
Don't we won't take me back to

1043
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:54,700
the SLT.
Don't mind.

1044
00:44:54,700 --> 00:44:58,600
But I've got, I've got Like you
know 50 boxes are pencils back

1045
00:45:00,100 --> 00:45:02,100
over the years.
I've not used after stack him

1046
00:45:02,100 --> 00:45:04,000
up.
I just know we kind of need

1047
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,400
them, we kind of need them.
Please come with nap, we have

1048
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,200
them here.
So she went on to say not even

1049
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,400
our Deputy heads have access to
the sacred key.

1050
00:45:11,700 --> 00:45:14,600
The TA that worked with me last
year mentioned she was given a

1051
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,400
master key for some reason and I
told her to guard it with her

1052
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,900
life and tell no one.
So she actually keeps it but she

1053
00:45:20,900 --> 00:45:24,400
goes to her for Access so she
doesn't even have the key to the

1054
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:28,000
ultimate crime so the ultimate
Just put a fashion that if

1055
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,300
someone came and said someone's
been accessing if you've got a

1056
00:45:30,308 --> 00:45:32,300
key.
But no, she doesn't, she doesn't

1057
00:45:32,300 --> 00:45:35,200
even have the K know.
That's, that's like, ruthless

1058
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:36,400
today but I would bet to do
that.

1059
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,700
I think I do read on it reminds
me a lot of our own, you know

1060
00:45:39,700 --> 00:45:41,500
that, you know, that
unbelievable, pretty sick story.

1061
00:45:41,500 --> 00:45:42,500
That we're gonna tell us some
point.

1062
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,500
Oh yeah, we'll save.
It was save it, but it just

1063
00:45:44,500 --> 00:45:46,400
reminds me that I've got another
confession here.

1064
00:45:46,900 --> 00:45:49,000
So another one reading actually
forgotten it.

1065
00:45:49,008 --> 00:45:50,600
I'm going to read it myself
again, work out.

1066
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,600
What is at school?
I once worked in.

1067
00:45:52,900 --> 00:45:54,300
Oh yeah.
Used a really complex.

1068
00:45:54,300 --> 00:45:57,400
Digital Teacher Assessment
tracking tool where we had to

1069
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,000
assess all of the children.
Has hundreds of objectives

1070
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,000
across multiple subjects.
So, if anyone doesn't work in a

1071
00:46:02,008 --> 00:46:05,400
school, it is exactly that
assessments by teachers based on

1072
00:46:05,408 --> 00:46:07,100
what you think.
The children can do based on

1073
00:46:07,100 --> 00:46:08,300
your lessons, your market,
right?

1074
00:46:08,500 --> 00:46:11,000
And just keeping track of every
objective, you teach can be

1075
00:46:11,008 --> 00:46:13,400
quite time consuming.
We would either necessarily do,

1076
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,600
like, a piece of work, right?
It's just what you think at the

1077
00:46:15,607 --> 00:46:16,900
end of the lesson.
Yeah.

1078
00:46:16,900 --> 00:46:19,700
Basically.
And this way, it will clarify

1079
00:46:19,700 --> 00:46:21,400
when they do it.
So it said we were given no

1080
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,900
additional time classic to do it
and it was just expected to kind

1081
00:46:24,900 --> 00:46:27,300
of get done magically a Every
lesson all week.

1082
00:46:27,300 --> 00:46:28,700
So I guess that was the idea of,
right?

1083
00:46:28,900 --> 00:46:31,000
They had to regularly update,
this assessment of these

1084
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,700
children or whether they got the
objective or not all like

1085
00:46:33,700 --> 00:46:37,700
excelled or whatever.
Because they went nowhere and

1086
00:46:37,700 --> 00:46:39,900
Teacher Assessment was
overridden by test scores

1087
00:46:39,900 --> 00:46:42,300
anyway.
I just used to wait until they

1088
00:46:42,300 --> 00:46:45,100
finish their test and make up
all the back that the Teacher

1089
00:46:45,100 --> 00:46:47,100
Assessment.
So that it matched their test

1090
00:46:47,100 --> 00:46:49,900
scores, right?
And I'm like, yeah, okay.

1091
00:46:49,900 --> 00:46:51,800
I can see them but this is even
better.

1092
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,500
One time I was called to the
office to talk about my teacher

1093
00:46:55,500 --> 00:46:59,000
assessments and I knew I'd been
caught turns out.

1094
00:46:59,100 --> 00:47:01,700
I was praised for having such
accurate assessment and I was

1095
00:47:01,700 --> 00:47:04,200
asked to lead a staff meeting on
how to use the tracking tool

1096
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:08,200
effectively.
So yeah quite funny right in a

1097
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,700
way that's unreal.
Yeah because then you have to go

1098
00:47:10,700 --> 00:47:13,400
in and tell them the really
stringent way that you do that,

1099
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:14,400
man.
Oh yeah.

1100
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,400
They were just had to completely
black it when they complete guys

1101
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,900
like in that meeting post, it's
really easy.

1102
00:47:19,900 --> 00:47:23,200
Actually it's really easy way to
see what they get and put it in

1103
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,500
after ya.
Well cause you know how to

1104
00:47:25,508 --> 00:47:26,800
learn.
Yeah.

1105
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,400
You know, how our teacher
assessments don't sort of go to

1106
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,100
anything ever.
So what I did was I just didn't

1107
00:47:32,100 --> 00:47:35,200
do them and then when we did
those tests where the scores do

1108
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:38,700
goes out, Use them.
So, you know, when you're in

1109
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,200
your site in a pupil progress,
meeting at the end of the year

1110
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:42,800
and I just whip out the test
scores.

1111
00:47:42,900 --> 00:47:46,800
Oh, are you going to use any of
that stuff that I did every time

1112
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,700
for that?
No, no, no.

1113
00:47:48,700 --> 00:47:49,500
Okay.
All right.

1114
00:47:49,700 --> 00:47:51,100
Oh, no problem.
Yeah, no problem.

1115
00:47:51,100 --> 00:47:52,800
Why do we do it?
Well, she's in case.

1116
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:57,700
Someone asks aren't you?
The people that ask it's okay.

1117
00:47:57,700 --> 00:47:59,400
Say it coming.
Say the r-word.

1118
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:00,900
Exactly.
Exactly.

1119
00:48:01,100 --> 00:48:02,700
Okay, so so come in.
So we look like we're doing

1120
00:48:02,700 --> 00:48:04,300
teacher assessments even though
no one cares about them, haven't

1121
00:48:04,300 --> 00:48:06,500
used them since 2014.
Oh okay.

1122
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,300
Here I got you.
But hey, ho here we are.

1123
00:48:08,300 --> 00:48:09,900
This is the wonderful world of
teaching guys.

1124
00:48:09,900 --> 00:48:13,400
I've got another one.
Okay, this one, this one really

1125
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:18,000
really cracked me up because
it's not me but I absolutely

1126
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,000
resonate with this and I've got
a joint story that comes in

1127
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,700
after it, okay?
Alright, so as we all know as

1128
00:48:23,700 --> 00:48:26,400
teachers, just the context, when
it's someone's birthday in

1129
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,400
class, they quite often bring in
some sweets, they're bringing

1130
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,800
something to give to the class.
At the end of the day, we sing

1131
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:34,800
happy birthday and they get some
sweets to one for each child.

1132
00:48:34,900 --> 00:48:39,000
So, So this story, it really
cramped.

1133
00:48:39,700 --> 00:48:41,600
So this boy is this boy's
birthday?

1134
00:48:41,700 --> 00:48:45,500
He'd brought in sweets and they
were those bags of harrybo,

1135
00:48:45,900 --> 00:48:48,100
okay?
So bags of harrybo, and you end

1136
00:48:48,100 --> 00:48:50,100
up with like 12 in a bag, and
they bring in loads, there's

1137
00:48:50,100 --> 00:48:54,000
always some leftover, so, once
the children went, he'd left a

1138
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:58,200
bag and it had ten to Fifteen of
those small Haribo packets left

1139
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,600
inside.
I'll teach a walk back in after

1140
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,600
a long day after dismissing, his
children saw, there were 10 to

1141
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:07,100
15 Harbor packets left.
A All of the harrybo marking

1142
00:49:07,100 --> 00:49:10,400
didn't think much of it going
through his books and then at

1143
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:14,000
4:20 after Club finished which
were the boy in question

1144
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:17,200
actually went to Club came back
to see him to pick up his sweets

1145
00:49:17,500 --> 00:49:21,000
as those as those leftover
sweets, had been explicitly told

1146
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,800
by his parents that they were
for his party the day after at

1147
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,600
the weekend.
Oh no.

1148
00:49:25,700 --> 00:49:29,900
He walked back in and asked for
them and the teacher was

1149
00:49:29,900 --> 00:49:33,000
mortified but managed to save
face and explained how I do.

1150
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,100
I'm not sure why they've gone
maybe the cleaners of it and

1151
00:49:35,100 --> 00:49:38,300
maybe something Happened.
It all went fine until he looked

1152
00:49:38,300 --> 00:49:44,000
at my desk and saw three empty
packets on my laptop that is I

1153
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,000
would be honestly I thought
horrible.

1154
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,400
I'd go to the transmedia me but
like yeah but Mom the mom had

1155
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:51,800
said, make sure you bring this
balance.

1156
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:53,000
Didn't didn't?
Just spare.

1157
00:49:53,100 --> 00:49:54,700
Make sure to bring them back to
the birthday party tomorrow

1158
00:49:54,700 --> 00:49:58,200
we'll get them out.
It's for my birthday imagine

1159
00:49:58,200 --> 00:49:59,700
leaving, right?
It's a it looks like this kid

1160
00:49:59,700 --> 00:50:01,100
out.
You're feeling really bad and

1161
00:50:01,100 --> 00:50:03,800
Mom just looks for you and
you've got ten Harry vo rings on

1162
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:05,500
your fingers when you were
playing with her.

1163
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,700
Them just like I just don't, I
don't know what happened.

1164
00:50:08,700 --> 00:50:12,500
I'm really sorry that there were
10.

1165
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,700
There Were Ten packets.
I just falls out your pocket.

1166
00:50:14,700 --> 00:50:16,600
What'd you put Gummy?
Yeah.

1167
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,300
Gummy bears.
Falling out your shirt where you

1168
00:50:18,308 --> 00:50:23,700
just drop that pit pick it out
your teeth like, yeah, I got my

1169
00:50:23,700 --> 00:50:25,700
God.
So we have today to remind me, I

1170
00:50:25,707 --> 00:50:30,900
forgot to say this earlier today
it's in my cupboard at

1171
00:50:30,900 --> 00:50:33,800
lunchtime.
We've ordered a bunch of

1172
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:37,400
marshmallows for detail.
T like them, but they're like,

1173
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,700
back to we're making structures
with like switched again

1174
00:50:39,700 --> 00:50:42,000
tomorrow.
Yes, classic thing, right?

1175
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,900
And, and we ordered too many,
the too many marshmallows.

1176
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:49,200
Oh, oh, oh, did we did the
massive twice.

1177
00:50:51,100 --> 00:50:56,100
So all of these marginalized in
my cupboard as like they're

1178
00:50:56,100 --> 00:51:00,000
open, I'm just time and I just
ate like four of them, like big

1179
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,300
ones as well.
It's big and I came out of

1180
00:51:02,300 --> 00:51:05,200
munching on a last bit of them.
As I came out of my cupboard.

1181
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,200
But you can't see through it.
I didn't know it.

1182
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,400
Was there just a child walking
through just just grabbing a

1183
00:51:09,408 --> 00:51:12,100
book and she looked at me and I
looked at her, she know exactly

1184
00:51:12,100 --> 00:51:14,600
what the hell I was doing.
And I just sort of smile to her

1185
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:16,500
because she's like, she's like
one of the nicest kids ever.

1186
00:51:16,500 --> 00:51:19,600
And I just thought I was like,
yeah, I me, I am eating those

1187
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:23,900
much as I told you not to eat in
DT, guys.

1188
00:51:23,900 --> 00:51:26,500
It's really important.
We only have enough marshmallows

1189
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:28,700
for every single child to build
their structure.

1190
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:36,700
Do not go to Mike's mom, but
sir, We're the last ones to do

1191
00:51:36,700 --> 00:51:39,100
is, they've got to go to the
next class, okay?

1192
00:51:39,300 --> 00:51:45,400
I'll use the next year mouth.
That was our new feature of

1193
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,700
Confessions of a teacher because
I think that just allows for

1194
00:51:48,700 --> 00:51:50,600
some really funny stories to
come forward.

1195
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:54,100
So as always get in touch in the
email teach sleep repeat POD at

1196
00:51:54,100 --> 00:51:57,900
gmail.com or come to our
Instagram and let us know your

1197
00:51:57,900 --> 00:52:00,800
teacher confessions because that
was one of my favorite little

1198
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:02,700
bits that we've done so far on
the podcast really fun

1199
00:52:02,700 --> 00:52:04,600
definitely.
And so the last thing you want

1200
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:07,400
to do is the Six kind of Link 2
because we've had some stories,

1201
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,700
but we've got stories from the
classroom Hayden.

1202
00:52:10,700 --> 00:52:13,000
You've got a funny one.
I've got a nice one, but I want

1203
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:14,500
to share with you before we
finish this week.

1204
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,000
Let's jump straight in nice.
We're starting to be too long

1205
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:18,700
this week, is it?
Because my story is fairly

1206
00:52:18,700 --> 00:52:21,000
short, but I know that you like
this one as it's, my expense.

1207
00:52:21,500 --> 00:52:23,500
So did I was trying to re tell
me the story?

1208
00:52:23,500 --> 00:52:26,000
I don't know, come and listen.
Listen, I'll tell the story

1209
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,200
properly on the podcast because
he's forgotten, he's forgotten

1210
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:30,700
how it worked, how it can I give
their very very brief overview

1211
00:52:30,700 --> 00:52:32,400
so you can jump in with the da.
Go on, go on.

1212
00:52:32,500 --> 00:52:35,100
So essentially what happened was
in our school, we had a bit of a

1213
00:52:35,100 --> 00:52:38,800
push At the time in English pdms
of word, meaning, a vocabulary

1214
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,000
to big thing for our school,
making sure children are

1215
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:42,900
expanding their vocabulary as
much as possible.

1216
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:46,700
And one of the things we really
focused on was strategies on how

1217
00:52:46,900 --> 00:52:50,300
the children could work out what
a word means when they just

1218
00:52:50,300 --> 00:52:53,500
don't know, because we're going
to have test test questions.

1219
00:52:53,500 --> 00:52:57,300
That's a, you know, a testing
them about what a word means and

1220
00:52:57,300 --> 00:52:59,500
sometimes the children have just
never heard of it before.

1221
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,000
So we have loads of strategies
that we've taught them looking

1222
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,200
for root words, looking for a
suffix.

1223
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,600
That means, maybe the opposite
of Something looking at the

1224
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:10,000
context of the whole sentence
and a really big one was

1225
00:53:10,100 --> 00:53:13,600
swapping the word in for a
different word and seeing if it

1226
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:15,100
still makes sense, that kind of
thing.

1227
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,600
So, Hayden obviously, was
reading his class text to his

1228
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,500
class and they came across a
word that they are unsure of

1229
00:53:21,700 --> 00:53:25,400
Hayden, take it from him, right?
First of all contacts, we are

1230
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:28,800
reading flood lands by Marcus
Sedgwick and the only real, it's

1231
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:31,300
funny that the stories come up
because I'm literally reading

1232
00:53:31,300 --> 00:53:34,700
that story at the moment with my
class and this were, I read past

1233
00:53:34,700 --> 00:53:37,600
this word.
This or last week actually and I

1234
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:39,900
was like how funny and I started
giggling and I had to tell my

1235
00:53:39,900 --> 00:53:42,300
class this story because they
were like, why you laughing

1236
00:53:42,300 --> 00:53:43,700
randomly in a sentence?
It wasn't even.

1237
00:53:43,900 --> 00:53:46,200
It was a dark sentence as well
as I not panic.

1238
00:53:46,900 --> 00:53:49,400
So I want you to imagine this.
If you've got a pen and paper

1239
00:53:49,700 --> 00:53:52,300
and we to write this word down,
if not just think of the letter

1240
00:53:52,300 --> 00:53:54,700
to cake or not to tell you what
it says because, you know, such

1241
00:53:54,700 --> 00:54:01,000
a complex word, ready under-5
Edie.

1242
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,000
Okay, just write that word down,
right.

1243
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,100
You might see that it made.
Anything was he talking about?

1244
00:54:06,300 --> 00:54:12,300
I read that word in a sentence
out loud to the class as under

1245
00:54:12,300 --> 00:54:17,200
fact, and with my room, with my
reading, like all this reading

1246
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,000
training, we be doing in mind as
I all.

1247
00:54:19,300 --> 00:54:21,600
What great opportunity, those
tickets talk about this, the

1248
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,400
class a great opportunity to
explore some word meaning

1249
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:26,300
because you didn't know what it
meant because you would

1250
00:54:26,300 --> 00:54:27,800
understand never heard of it
before.

1251
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:29,900
I was like, wow, this is, it was
a verb is a verb.

1252
00:54:29,900 --> 00:54:31,800
Guys.
Being used as a verb, okay.

1253
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:34,200
I think it would be probably
wasn't an objective, may be.

1254
00:54:34,500 --> 00:54:38,300
And, and as I've never heard it
before, what do you think under

1255
00:54:38,300 --> 00:54:40,400
that means guys?
10 seconds told your partner

1256
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,700
from the meat around the
sentence, read the sentence

1257
00:54:42,700 --> 00:54:45,000
would have under this to work
out what it means.

1258
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,400
I was like looking at my screen
think I'm going to get I thought

1259
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,400
you know, the dictionary up an
email Google so it will look

1260
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:55,800
like you can very quickly we've
done that which teacher has not

1261
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:57,800
done that before when they just
don't know and they say why

1262
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,600
don't you talk about it chat and
you secretly?

1263
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:02,400
Go to your laptop like oh yeah.
A search that.

1264
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,800
Yeah, all you black it and you
like it.

1265
00:55:04,808 --> 00:55:07,000
You know what?
Yeah, I can think of the

1266
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:08,300
definition but there's a better
one on Google.

1267
00:55:08,300 --> 00:55:11,400
I'm just gonna check you.
Just want to make sure.

1268
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,800
Just get it right guys.
Kids go along with it, like

1269
00:55:13,808 --> 00:55:16,000
they're thinking about what this
under that means.

1270
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,000
All right, there was, it was
describing children.

1271
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:19,900
I just remember the context of
the sentence was describing

1272
00:55:19,900 --> 00:55:21,700
children.
Flood lands is like a story,

1273
00:55:21,700 --> 00:55:23,300
like a post-apocalyptic story,
right?

1274
00:55:23,300 --> 00:55:26,100
So under two children community,
these under children are

1275
00:55:26,107 --> 00:55:31,400
starving communities or thing?
And yeah, so I go to Google and

1276
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:34,700
I Typing it in, think it was
under oath to me when I type in

1277
00:55:34,700 --> 00:55:38,200
underserved and and then they
sort of give it a feedback of

1278
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,200
what they think.
It might mean they like maybe it

1279
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:43,100
means like really skinny, maybe
because we know the context of

1280
00:55:43,100 --> 00:55:45,600
centers of these children being
like in a deprived City where

1281
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,900
there's no food left.
I said yeah brilliant and I

1282
00:55:47,900 --> 00:55:49,300
looked at him death I was like
wow.

1283
00:55:49,300 --> 00:55:53,200
Like well done let's say yeah
when you've not had much food

1284
00:55:53,500 --> 00:55:56,800
that's fantastic and this boy
and it's so annoying because

1285
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:59,200
this boy was like the smuggest
boy my class.

1286
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,700
I love this kid but he was just
any of it.

1287
00:56:01,900 --> 00:56:04,500
He has, he can tell me he got
him and this was like the

1288
00:56:04,500 --> 00:56:06,100
ultimate win.
Put his hand up.

1289
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,900
Already smiling that mr.
Stevens.

1290
00:56:09,100 --> 00:56:10,000
Yes.
Yeah.

1291
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:15,300
It's like think that says,
underfed and Justice, like wave

1292
00:56:15,300 --> 00:56:18,400
of embarrassment, just flooded
my whole head.

1293
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,200
I very, very, I don't get
embarrassed easy.

1294
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:23,300
As you know, I very rarely going
bad or just play it off.

1295
00:56:24,100 --> 00:56:28,000
Oh man, I couldn't believe I'd
spent like a whole minute doing

1296
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,600
exercise and thinking.
Yeah, yeah, this is such a

1297
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:31,800
great.
This is such a good example.

1298
00:56:31,900 --> 00:56:38,000
Quality again, attention.
Underfed, underfed, I just saw

1299
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,300
on as a prefix and Thoreau root,
word death.

1300
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:42,600
And I, that's why I said as well
as in what you think, death

1301
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:47,300
means the root word deaf every
world of that's why I did that.

1302
00:56:47,300 --> 00:56:48,700
I did that.
I was like, we got on, we've got

1303
00:56:48,700 --> 00:56:50,200
Ed.
Think it a lot prefixes

1304
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:54,100
suffixes.
That means if man what an idiot.

1305
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:58,100
What an idiot.
Unlike the fed and the kids just

1306
00:56:58,100 --> 00:57:01,000
held they laughed so much cause
they were like they're always

1307
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,300
like, I can't believe.
Levi could some of them probably

1308
00:57:03,300 --> 00:57:05,100
fell into that trap as well
because I convinced them, yeah,

1309
00:57:05,100 --> 00:57:07,500
of course it's other word and
they realize it's just it under

1310
00:57:07,500 --> 00:57:11,400
for the underfed children.
Obviously I didn't even twig at

1311
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:14,600
the definition stage on Google
is just another word for

1312
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:20,100
starving.
Okay, so my story, I'm right

1313
00:57:20,100 --> 00:57:22,800
away that we go on about how we
love this job and we do, but I

1314
00:57:23,100 --> 00:57:25,800
am worried sometimes that we
kind of fall into a trap of just

1315
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:27,800
going into a rant, okay?
And and kind of complaining

1316
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:29,200
about something.
So I want to finish with a nice

1317
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:32,100
story cage.
We love this job besides, I hate

1318
00:57:32,100 --> 00:57:37,800
it, it's just yeah, exactly,
look into actually worried.

1319
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:39,600
You love this job and it's
usually connections with the

1320
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:41,000
children, right and helping them
out.

1321
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:44,400
I've taught this lad previously,
he's high up in the school now

1322
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:47,600
but still in the school.
I had a really nice relationship

1323
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:49,300
with this ladder.
I felt like I really understood

1324
00:57:49,300 --> 00:57:52,600
him and he got on with me and it
was just such a nice yet

1325
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:56,800
teaching him.
I really enjoyed it and he would

1326
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:58,900
have problems.
Sometimes, controlling his

1327
00:57:58,900 --> 00:58:02,500
anger, he'd get angry very
quickly, but the thing I was so

1328
00:58:02,500 --> 00:58:06,100
proud of him about this is going
to be a story from the assembly.

1329
00:58:06,100 --> 00:58:08,100
Again, I'm gonna start crying
heading.

1330
00:58:08,100 --> 00:58:11,600
No, I'm joking, not yet.
The thing I was really proud of

1331
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,700
him though because over the year
he really developed such

1332
00:58:14,700 --> 00:58:17,500
maturity.
Where you can't control getting

1333
00:58:17,500 --> 00:58:21,500
angry and we spoke about this,
all emotions are acceptable and

1334
00:58:21,500 --> 00:58:23,300
fine.
You cannot control getting

1335
00:58:23,300 --> 00:58:25,200
angry.
He, of course you can't, you get

1336
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:29,200
annoyed, right?
But he got so good at just

1337
00:58:29,300 --> 00:58:32,600
recognizing it quickly.
Understanding who is angry and

1338
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,000
taking himself out of situations
and he would frequently come up,

1339
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:39,000
to me and say, hey, I've got
really annoyed and I throw my

1340
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:42,000
bag on the floor and he'll say
stuff like this, and I would

1341
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:43,600
always keep him with praise
with.

1342
00:58:43,900 --> 00:58:46,500
Well, done, well done.
Because that, Of excavated you

1343
00:58:46,500 --> 00:58:48,900
stepped away and you've told me
you've recognized it and I just

1344
00:58:48,900 --> 00:58:52,200
remember saying to at the end of
the year, I was like, you're so

1345
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:53,700
ready to go up.
You know, when you make a big

1346
00:58:53,700 --> 00:58:56,100
deal of the next year, when it's
really it's not a big deal but

1347
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,800
you're so ready for you five
because you've got so much

1348
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:05,000
maturity and you really do just
know when to step away and just

1349
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:07,200
basically just picking them up.
I was like, well, done.

1350
00:59:07,300 --> 00:59:11,400
And so what happened was, I was
on duty and this lad is on, is

1351
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,300
on the playground.
And the classic thing was

1352
00:59:13,300 --> 00:59:15,300
happening, okay, this group were
just playing.

1353
00:59:15,700 --> 00:59:17,600
He was getting frustrated
because one of the maybe wasn't

1354
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,000
playing by the rules, legitimate
thing to get frustrated about,

1355
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:23,300
he wasn't being out of order,
but he got angry and I saw him

1356
00:59:23,300 --> 00:59:24,900
getting angry from across the
playground.

1357
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,000
So, I make a beeline for him
straightaway, right?

1358
00:59:27,100 --> 00:59:30,400
Just so we can see me and he
clocks me and you could see him

1359
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:33,300
kind of realize and go back into
that moment of okay.

1360
00:59:33,300 --> 00:59:35,500
Oh no, I'm getting annoyed, KFC,
mr.

1361
00:59:35,500 --> 00:59:37,300
Private, I remember mr.
Fight, we've spoken about this

1362
00:59:37,300 --> 00:59:39,000
before, and you could just see
it kind of click in his brain

1363
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:42,200
and he walked over to me and I
didn't even mention the fact, is

1364
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:45,200
getting angry, right?
I just made him laugh.

1365
00:59:45,300 --> 00:59:47,300
I just said, I said something.
Sit at heart.

1366
00:59:47,300 --> 00:59:49,400
Remember exactly what I said,
but the point was, I was taking

1367
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,100
his mind off it straight away
because he knew, I knew I didn't

1368
00:59:52,100 --> 00:59:54,100
have to go and talk to her about
getting angry or not, because

1369
00:59:54,300 --> 00:59:56,300
it's acceptable and he knows
what to do in a situation.

1370
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:58,200
So, we ended up having a chat
for a minute.

1371
00:59:58,300 --> 01:00:01,000
He came down, he went off
laughing, he was on the edge of

1372
01:00:01,008 --> 01:00:02,800
getting really annoyed and
working stuff up and maybe

1373
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,300
getting upset, he went away.
Laughing and I was like oh

1374
01:00:05,308 --> 01:00:07,300
that's really nice and I was
very content at that.

1375
01:00:07,700 --> 01:00:11,500
And what really this is the part
of the job that you do just love

1376
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:15,500
because the day after I walked
Into my classroom and on my desk

1377
01:00:15,500 --> 01:00:21,000
was a note and he'd written it
and it said Mr. Price is really

1378
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,600
nice.
I've had two months, I've had

1379
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:27,400
him once I but I want him.
I want him twice like he wanted

1380
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:28,700
me when he went to year six or
something.

1381
01:00:28,700 --> 01:00:31,000
Yeah.
As his teacher again and I

1382
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:35,200
genuinely got not upset, but I
like, you know, I was like that

1383
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:39,300
is in a picture in a piece of
writing there that impact that

1384
01:00:39,300 --> 01:00:41,700
you can have on a child just by
building those relationships

1385
01:00:41,700 --> 01:00:44,300
with them and genuinely being
caring and Interested in what

1386
01:00:44,300 --> 01:00:45,700
they have to say, and help you.
Yeah.

1387
01:00:45,900 --> 01:00:49,100
And I remember because he came
to me after to check, I got it.

1388
01:00:49,700 --> 01:00:52,900
And he said to me and this was
another layer to this that I

1389
01:00:52,908 --> 01:00:55,000
really appreciated.
Was he said, oh did you get my

1390
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:56,700
letters at all?
Thank you so much.

1391
01:00:56,700 --> 01:00:58,900
It was so lovely.
I really appreciate that because

1392
01:00:58,900 --> 01:01:00,800
you were lovely as well, and I
wish I could have you again in

1393
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:05,000
my class, that be really nice.
And then he said, I didn't cry,

1394
01:01:05,300 --> 01:01:06,900
I didn't cry.
I, you know, I've had years now

1395
01:01:06,900 --> 01:01:08,300
to practice my assembly
colonies.

1396
01:01:09,300 --> 01:01:12,200
And, but he just said to me,
it's like, yeah, my mom helped

1397
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:13,600
me write that last night and
day.

1398
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:18,500
The idea that he'd gone home
kind of just understood that

1399
01:01:18,500 --> 01:01:20,400
interaction helped him, really
appreciate it.

1400
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,000
And asked his mom to help him
like do something to show his

1401
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:26,200
appreciation.
That really, really, really made

1402
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:28,800
me feel happy and it and again,
it's that it's those moments

1403
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:30,100
where you like this jobs,
amazing.

1404
01:01:30,100 --> 01:01:32,600
This job is exactly the job that
I want to have because you're

1405
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:34,900
going to have an impact on these
kids lives.

1406
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:40,300
I think you have basically
captured the essence of what is

1407
01:01:40,300 --> 01:01:44,500
so beautiful about this job.
And it, and it is It is enough

1408
01:01:44,500 --> 01:01:46,700
for most of us is included
because we're still doing it.

1409
01:01:46,700 --> 01:01:49,900
It is enough to override all of
that stuff that we joke about

1410
01:01:49,900 --> 01:01:53,000
and we mind about me rant about
and we talk on behalf of people

1411
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:56,200
writing in about, you know, it's
enough those moments.

1412
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:58,400
That's why we do it.
Yeah.

1413
01:01:58,400 --> 01:01:59,900
That's a nice story.
Absolutely.

1414
01:01:59,900 --> 01:02:02,600
I just thought I think every now
and then we have to ground

1415
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:04,000
ourselves and put that out there
as well.

1416
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:05,900
Because I bet you've all got a
story like that especially if

1417
01:02:05,908 --> 01:02:08,900
you work in a school of just
those moments where you go.

1418
01:02:08,900 --> 01:02:11,900
Yeah, this is what I do.
This is what I do and I love it

1419
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:13,500
and you know what that?
Yeah.

1420
01:02:13,700 --> 01:02:15,900
Stories really got me thinking
because like the sentimental

1421
01:02:15,900 --> 01:02:19,500
value of that, just reminds me
so much of the kind of Core

1422
01:02:19,500 --> 01:02:21,400
Essence of the pretty sick
story.

1423
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,800
That was so desperate to share
sixth, or it isn't it?

1424
01:02:23,900 --> 01:02:27,200
It's a tearjerker to tearjerker.
Unfortunately, we are out of

1425
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,100
time for this week, are we?
Oh Christ?

1426
01:02:29,100 --> 01:02:29,600
Yeah.
Okay.

1427
01:02:29,700 --> 01:02:31,400
When we won't do it now then
because it's a big story.

1428
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:34,000
So we will obviously save it for
to hold the whole episode on the

1429
01:02:34,008 --> 01:02:35,100
right?
Yeah, yeah, we do.

1430
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:36,600
Yeah.
We do a whole episode on the

1431
01:02:37,100 --> 01:02:38,400
critic story.
It's a good story.

1432
01:02:38,500 --> 01:02:40,700
It's a great story teller guys.
Thanks so much.

1433
01:02:41,100 --> 01:02:43,500
I am.
And if you got this far, then

1434
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:46,700
Thank you so much and we really
appreciate you.

1435
01:02:46,900 --> 01:02:49,500
See you next.
Thanks for being our favorite

1436
01:02:49,500 --> 01:02:50,600
customers by.
