7: Shampoo, Strikes and Stories From The Classroom

7: Shampoo, Strikes and Stories From The Classroom

In another week of teacher strikes, we discuss everything from WHY teachers are still walking out of the classroom to a list of lookalikes the children has for Dylan. Hayden feels like he's getting on a bit and picked up an injury and we also discuss leading maths and preparing for a visit from the big O.

As always, we end with some toxic anecdotes, confessions of a teacher and stories from the classroom. It's a jam packed one!

00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:01,800
Hayden.
You know, when kids come up to

2
00:00:01,808 --> 00:00:04,900
you and say, I've got a joke and
90% of the time, it's something

3
00:00:04,900 --> 00:00:07,300
along the lines of what's pink
and an animal.

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,000
And they say it's a pig and he
expects a lot of usually

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,200
completely rubbish.
But you laugh anyway.

6
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,200
Right, exactly.
Well, sometimes it gets an

7
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,900
absolute Corker so here's my
favorite ever joke from a child

8
00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:16,600
ready?
Okay.

9
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,700
A man walks into a Library walks
up to the receptionist and says,

10
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,400
hi, how can I order some fish
and chips?

11
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,600
Please, the receptionist
replies.

12
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,500
Excuse me, sir.
This is a library and the man

13
00:00:26,500 --> 00:00:29,200
replies saying, oh, sorry, Can I
some fishing trip?

14
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:34,000
Okay.
Very good, very good.

15
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,200
What I've got one as well.
You ready?

16
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:37,600
Why did the baker have smelly
fingers?

17
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,800
I don't know, why did the baker
has many fingers?

18
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:50,000
Because he needed a poo?
Hello Ron!

19
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,500
Welcome back to episode 7 of
teach sleep.

20
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:55,500
Repeat, my name is Dylan and my
name is Hayden, and we've had

21
00:00:55,500 --> 00:00:58,500
some lovely feedback from last
week once more, and I think

22
00:00:58,500 --> 00:00:59,900
Hayden one of the running
themes.

23
00:00:59,900 --> 00:01:04,099
Everything everyone said, to me
this year is your story Daft

24
00:01:04,099 --> 00:01:06,800
under.
Yeah, people apparently like,

25
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,600
hearing about me being an idiot.
So, I've actually got another

26
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,100
one of those stories for later
on.

27
00:01:11,300 --> 00:01:13,100
Excellent.
We can maybe again, I know we've

28
00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:14,700
got about 15 features at this
point.

29
00:01:14,900 --> 00:01:17,000
This new one every city every
week, but I don't know.

30
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,400
We could think of something on
the lines of you being a It is

31
00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:21,200
crazy.
Something about that?

32
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,700
Yeah, that sounds good.
Okay, but yeah, in general,

33
00:01:24,700 --> 00:01:27,200
thank you so much again, for the
feedback, we say, it every week,

34
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,900
but we see the follows going up
on Spotify.

35
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,300
We see the ratings going up, we
see the retention Staying High,

36
00:01:33,500 --> 00:01:35,700
and we're just so grateful for
you guys to come back every

37
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:37,400
week.
And for some reason, what to

38
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,000
listen to this, it's
unbelievable to us.

39
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,500
Just one step closer to that
podcast money isn't enough.

40
00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:44,700
What we doing it for.
What's that customers?

41
00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:46,800
Yeah.
Yeah, those customers are going

42
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,300
up.
So these customers keep coming

43
00:01:48,300 --> 00:01:50,900
for the door is exactly what
want to see.

44
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:54,900
Anyway, Hayden you have a big
week in education when we think

45
00:01:54,900 --> 00:01:55,800
about it.
We're going to come onto the

46
00:01:55,808 --> 00:01:58,800
strikes later on.
But before we get there, let's

47
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,500
just rip it back.
And as always, we've condensed,

48
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:03,100
our weekly catch up to this
podcast.

49
00:02:03,100 --> 00:02:04,900
So I don't really know what's
going on your week so far.

50
00:02:04,900 --> 00:02:07,700
How's it been?
Well, as you can tell those of

51
00:02:07,700 --> 00:02:10,000
you that listening can't see
this, but I'm wearing one of

52
00:02:10,008 --> 00:02:12,200
those lovely hot bean bags
around my neck.

53
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,800
You might have noticed That was
you don't see my questions.

54
00:02:15,700 --> 00:02:18,300
I know because so much about.
You doesn't surprise me anymore.

55
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,400
I've known you too long.
You just think he looks cool.

56
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,200
You could turn up in anything
and I think I've got gold

57
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,900
Hayden's doing something.
Well, it's very warm and it's

58
00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:28,200
held my neck.
Because my neck has been getting

59
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,300
progressively more painful every
day.

60
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:34,600
This week, actually due to a
horrific Whiplash accident of me

61
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,700
playing squash, right?
And by horrific accident, I mean

62
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:39,600
absolutely nothing happened.
Other than me, just playing

63
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,800
squash normally and I'm 30 now
and apparently When you have,

64
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,300
you would know obviously being a
very, very close to 30, man.

65
00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:50,300
I'm just a baby, exactly you
justice baby.

66
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,600
Why you don't, you have
experienced this yet, right?

67
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,100
I'm in my thirties.
Now I get Whiplash from squash.

68
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,500
So right.
You know, that's so starting the

69
00:02:57,500 --> 00:02:59,900
podcast off, strong with a story
about you hurting your neck,

70
00:02:59,900 --> 00:03:01,500
playing sport - yeah?
Yeah.

71
00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:03,100
Anything else going on this
week?

72
00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:06,800
Or, I mean, you're gonna hate me
because I know you're a little

73
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,200
bit annoyed that I play Squash
without you.

74
00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:11,900
I also went to the driving range
gone.

75
00:03:12,100 --> 00:03:16,800
Okay, so Elephant in the room.
Let's just address this out.

76
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,400
What better time than in front
of an audience of people to

77
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,600
address.
This have customers is horrible

78
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:27,700
whole Revelation that see if
they're worried that, you know,

79
00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:29,800
we used to play golf and play
Squash quite a bit.

80
00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:40,600
Now that we have no reason to
invite you to my cousin, just

81
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,600
wants to play.
And we just seem to have got

82
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,700
into a bit of To retain and
that's how it starts, isn't it?

83
00:03:44,708 --> 00:03:46,300
Ladies and gentlemen?
That's not my cousin.

84
00:03:46,300 --> 00:03:49,600
Just wanted to fly.
Yeah, be 2025 if I see you in

85
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,000
that squash bug.
And, you know, I really think

86
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,700
happened, you are sick of
losing, didn't you?

87
00:03:54,700 --> 00:03:57,000
Well, not really because he's
even better than you.

88
00:03:58,100 --> 00:04:01,300
I'm losing even more actually.
So clearly I love losing.

89
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,500
I tell you what, I do, what you
where you'll never see me again,

90
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,800
is on the golf course because I
now hate golf after going to the

91
00:04:07,808 --> 00:04:09,800
driving range, one time for the
first time in months, that are

92
00:04:09,808 --> 00:04:12,200
what I expected.
But you just think you would be

93
00:04:12,208 --> 00:04:14,400
good at, right?
Uh, yeah, I was just obviously

94
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,800
Sports room.
Obviously, I just remember how

95
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,899
to swing perfectly and, you
know, Max and balls up there,

96
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,200
but that absolutely terrible.
Absolutely, terrible honest.

97
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,100
Honestly, I don't think I hit a
straight ball.

98
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,000
I've like the hundred balls I
hit.

99
00:04:28,300 --> 00:04:29,700
So, yeah, absolutely hate that
game.

100
00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:31,800
Now, terrible, terrible Sport
and I don't know why you like

101
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:32,400
it.
Cool.

102
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,700
Now that retentions nosedived
after your two.

103
00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:37,600
Excellent stories.
Maybe the real fans can listen

104
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,300
to my we went.
Okay, go on until what you're

105
00:04:39,300 --> 00:04:42,600
weak.
Well, it was a good one

106
00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:44,400
obviously.
A short one due to the

107
00:04:44,407 --> 00:04:46,100
industrial action.
But again, we'll come on that

108
00:04:46,100 --> 00:04:47,700
later.
I do have a couple of stories,

109
00:04:47,700 --> 00:04:49,400
this week, that, that really did
make me laugh.

110
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:53,500
One of them, we were in class
and we are watching a video and

111
00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:56,100
there's a YouTube video, you
know, sometimes in class we have

112
00:04:56,100 --> 00:04:58,600
a very short like one minute
YouTube video that summarizes it

113
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,300
with visuals.
And it's just a really nice

114
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:02,700
starting point for your lesson.
And there was a guy on there,

115
00:05:02,700 --> 00:05:07,400
just a cartoon animation and it
was younger looking guy in smart

116
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,500
clothes with a beard and dark
hair.

117
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:11,900
So, obviously, straight away.
One of the children cause it's

118
00:05:11,900 --> 00:05:13,800
you.
It looks like you You and I was

119
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:14,600
it haha.
Yeah.

120
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,200
Okay.
But it's not there.

121
00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:16,600
No.
No.

122
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,800
The children then took that as
a, the floodgates open basically

123
00:05:20,100 --> 00:05:23,100
and they started shouting out
and telling me exactly all the

124
00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:25,700
people who I look like on.
No, that's right.

125
00:05:25,700 --> 00:05:28,800
Oh yeah, exactly.
So sad.

126
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,000
So look at that.
You know.

127
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,600
You look like that guy in the
sighs.

128
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,900
No, no he doesn't.
And I actually wrote them down

129
00:05:34,900 --> 00:05:38,000
because I thought to myself.
Yeah, taking this, here's the

130
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,100
list.
This is, this is 100% genuine.

131
00:05:40,100 --> 00:05:43,100
This week, the list of things or
people, I say things.

132
00:05:43,300 --> 00:05:47,100
Reason that the children that I
look like okay.

133
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:53,900
Yeah the first one, the boy from
Scooby-Doo which boy I said just

134
00:05:53,900 --> 00:05:55,500
a boy who's get Shaggy
apparently.

135
00:05:55,500 --> 00:05:56,800
Yes.
Okay, that'll be it.

136
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,700
Yeah, next one.
That guy from the Telly that guy

137
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,500
good.
Yeah, could be could be.

138
00:06:02,500 --> 00:06:06,600
Yeah.
It could be a big bird hair

139
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,500
Feathers Head a bit.
Yep.

140
00:06:09,500 --> 00:06:12,600
Gorilla that one.
That's yeah, that's fair enough.

141
00:06:12,900 --> 00:06:13,200
Yeah.
Yeah.

142
00:06:13,700 --> 00:06:16,700
My dad as in the children the
child said, you don't know.

143
00:06:16,700 --> 00:06:18,600
Do you like my dad?
Yeah, okay.

144
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,900
Yeah.
And the one that really made me

145
00:06:20,907 --> 00:06:23,600
laugh at it because it's
nowhere, it's just get just a

146
00:06:23,608 --> 00:06:27,200
different guy.
Now you know Wreck-It Ralph oh

one.

Yes.
I look nothing like him.

161
00:06:56,300 --> 00:06:57,600
Wow.
See about that.

162
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:58,900
I don't know.
There's something there.

163
00:06:58,900 --> 00:06:59,800
I think I think.
Yeah.

164
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,800
I think it's the shoulders.
I don't know, pretty much.

165
00:07:01,900 --> 00:07:05,300
All right, let me self-conscious
hugely broad.

166
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,000
Yeah, it's a bad thing and you
let you wreck stuff.

167
00:07:09,300 --> 00:07:10,900
You know like if you were you'd
walk around dressed up ever

168
00:07:10,900 --> 00:07:13,000
thugga maybe look a bit like a
Ralph.

169
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,200
If it's gonna make you feel good
which is saying that they're

170
00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:16,400
breaking down each part of his
name.

171
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:22,100
Yeah, it's okay.
Fair enough, there was one other

172
00:07:22,100 --> 00:07:25,000
thing and this really might,
again, this is detrimental on

173
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,400
me, but I really be love you all
with me action, this one.

174
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,900
So I can say the first half of
the story and you will know, you

175
00:07:30,900 --> 00:07:32,900
won't know the second half.
So we kind of Gatecrash.

176
00:07:32,900 --> 00:07:34,400
The club didn't me one day this
week.

177
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,700
There's an after school club
going on.

178
00:07:35,700 --> 00:07:38,200
How are ya and the children
making cards?

179
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,400
Because Mother's Day is coming
up.

180
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:41,700
So the children making a card
for someone at home that has to

181
00:07:41,700 --> 00:07:45,100
be the mother could be any
Person in their life and the

182
00:07:45,108 --> 00:07:47,500
teacher was explaining this as
Hayden and I walked in.

183
00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:50,200
So, obviously being the
nuisances we are, we then kind

184
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,000
of said to the class are so
lovely.

185
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,100
So in an hour's time, I'll come
back and I'll collect all my

186
00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:58,500
cards to mr.
Price for the children in there,

187
00:07:58,500 --> 00:08:01,700
obviously, were in my class for
maths and English, and you can

188
00:08:01,707 --> 00:08:04,400
see them like, yeah.
And I was like, cool, nice one.

189
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,400
Clearly, the teacher was like,
what have you done that?

190
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,300
Because it's me, lovely cards
for home.

191
00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:11,600
Now, they're going to make cards
for their teacher, so an hour

192
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,600
goes by and I nearly forget So
it's just time for them to be

193
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,000
leaving, right?
So I got a background to where

194
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,000
the club is, which is next to
the door where the children go

195
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,500
out and they were just being
excused, not only a few children

196
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:25,900
left, so go through the door and
there's one child there who

197
00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:29,100
turned trying to said, oh oh
we're going to do the few next

198
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:31,400
week because they've decided
actually next week there.

199
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,500
I think the teacher must have
said, you know let's do one for

200
00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:34,799
someone at home this week next
week.

201
00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:36,000
We'll do with mr.
Fries.

202
00:08:36,100 --> 00:08:37,200
Yeah.
Yeah I'm going to do a next week

203
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,500
but I do next week and we're
going to do and they started

204
00:08:39,500 --> 00:08:42,299
listing things that the teachers
obviously said that a my traits

205
00:08:42,299 --> 00:08:44,100
that can be a Pitch.
Piece of me, right?

206
00:08:44,100 --> 00:08:48,500
So if ya got pain behind your
ear, you've got a beard.

207
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,900
You've got a jumper because I
usually wear a jumper with my

208
00:08:50,900 --> 00:08:51,900
collar.
You look like Ram.

209
00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:57,600
Now other charts, it's a child.
Yeah, right girl was kind of

210
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,200
just stood there staring at me
looking a bit confused, but

211
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,600
wasn't looking at me was looking
at like my jumper, like my

212
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,100
chest.
And then she kind of looked up

213
00:09:06,100 --> 00:09:09,800
at Mission that's been snowing.
So what it is?

214
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,300
It's no doubt, it's nice.
That it was what Scott's knowing

215
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:22,700
you dandruff Sandra.
So passing dandruff, it was a

216
00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:23,600
beard.
Dandruff.

217
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,400
Yeah, my beard had got way too
long.

218
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,500
You can see if you watch the
reels, it's good.

219
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:30,400
You could start, I went home
that day like immediately.

220
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:31,400
I'm shaving.
My beard.

221
00:09:32,900 --> 00:09:36,800
Being an older.
Now, we now have your face by

222
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,200
such an insult.
I said I was a kid, and I tell

223
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,300
you what, that kid knew it was
not snow and they knew they were

224
00:09:42,308 --> 00:09:44,500
doing you wrong.
You know what, you know what,

225
00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:46,300
you know what?
I gen you.

226
00:09:46,500 --> 00:09:47,900
Think this child for a word
insane.

227
00:09:48,300 --> 00:09:50,500
Honestly, okay, honestly, I mean
she probably didn't.

228
00:09:50,500 --> 00:09:57,200
Well that's what I think crying.
It's your car next week.

229
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:03,400
Miss ya, goody tippex need to
lose jumper so good.

230
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:05,700
I've actually been asked if I
could get dandruff but I said

231
00:10:05,700 --> 00:10:07,200
serious question because I'm
bald.

232
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,500
So that's it kid has to get that
off and I was like well no fun

233
00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:12,300
enough.
Just a greasy head.

234
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,300
Yes actually I do shampoo in my
head head and shoulders.

235
00:10:15,300 --> 00:10:18,800
I do.
I do, I do I actually I think is

236
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,400
head and shoulders.
I did you know this?

237
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,800
I'm sure I told you this know I
use Head and Shoulders every

238
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:23,900
day.
Every morning early, I shower

239
00:10:23,900 --> 00:10:25,000
every more.
I'm a morning person.

240
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,200
What?
Yeah, why come on.

241
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,100
I want you to work out because
the kids always ask me this and

242
00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:31,200
I like what why?
And I think the I think the

243
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,000
explanations fairly logical.
Here's me thinking don't have

244
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,300
hair Logics gone.
So what's okay.

245
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,800
So obviously I wash as normal
like soap and all that but when

246
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,800
it comes to my head I just I
still get greasy.

247
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,000
Like what Do you get greasy
hair, right?

248
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,700
I still agree.
Still happens.

249
00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:52,500
It's just goes all over my
scalp, so I use head and

250
00:10:52,500 --> 00:10:54,800
shoulders in this at soap would
be fine.

251
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,300
But I'm just, you know, I've
convinced that it has said jobs.

252
00:10:58,300 --> 00:10:59,900
I said head on it so that that
was so.

253
00:10:59,900 --> 00:11:02,300
So so it says in the shoulder so
I do my shoulders as well.

254
00:11:03,300 --> 00:11:07,100
Yeah, well, you could Harry
shoulders but I I have to, I

255
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:09,200
just yeah, rinse.
I get the grease off of its no,

256
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:10,900
I'm not sure my hair but I'm
still watching my head.

257
00:11:10,900 --> 00:11:13,800
You know, jump at that time,
where we worked out that between

258
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,100
you and I we have exactly enough
hair for two people.

259
00:11:16,500 --> 00:11:19,000
It's just me.
Yeah, we have reach out to the

260
00:11:19,008 --> 00:11:20,000
right amount of hair.
Okay.

261
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,700
This is getting weird to the
hair.

262
00:11:22,700 --> 00:11:25,400
Now on our bodies were, we're
going to 47 episodes in, right?

263
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:26,400
These guys don't want to hear
about.

264
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,700
I haven't the customers need to
know all about us before they go

265
00:11:29,700 --> 00:11:32,900
on to purchase the property, the
merchandise of Wreck-It Ralph

266
00:11:32,900 --> 00:11:35,500
t-shirt.
So before we move on, there was

267
00:11:35,500 --> 00:11:37,600
up, that's going to stick my
nose in it.

268
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:38,700
You're gonna you gotta love
that.

269
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,500
There's one other thing I want
to talk about this week which is

270
00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:43,200
both of us actually.
So we're not telling each other

271
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,900
how this went because we were
there in the room and as I think

272
00:11:45,900 --> 00:11:48,000
we may have Mentioned before on
this podcast, can't remember

273
00:11:48,300 --> 00:11:49,800
Hayden.
And I are the mass coordinate is

274
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,800
in our school and we are in that
squeaky bum time as we like to

275
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,700
call it where ofsted never had
that time, just like maybe like

276
00:11:58,700 --> 00:12:03,700
a little child, we're ofsted are
appending essentially you know,

277
00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:09,000
it could be anytime great.
And and yeah, as a result, I've

278
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,700
been Mass coordinators and very
much looking as if our subject

279
00:12:12,700 --> 00:12:15,600
will be the subject of a deep
dive when it comes to ofsted

280
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,000
inspectors coming into a Go big
push in a minute for us to get

281
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,500
prepared and as prepared as
possible.

282
00:12:20,700 --> 00:12:23,800
And as part of that this week,
we met with a woman who's been

283
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,200
helping our school out but
getting prepared as possible for

284
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,000
our stead when that eventually
comes and we had a meeting with

285
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,600
her and, you know, I wanted to
talk about this because there's

286
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,800
this culture, isn't there?
Hayden in school and it's been

287
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:41,100
dubbed, mocks dead and it's very
much, you know, it's got

288
00:12:41,500 --> 00:12:45,100
negative Tendencies when we hear
mocks Ted and I just wanted us

289
00:12:45,100 --> 00:12:48,200
to discuss how What we did
actually we came out of it,

290
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,700
feeling really positive and it's
been really useful and how it

291
00:12:50,700 --> 00:12:53,400
might contrast with what other
people may have experienced

292
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,000
before with similar situations,
from their school, trying to run

293
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,900
through what enough said process
might be right.

294
00:12:58,900 --> 00:13:02,100
Be like and get ready for it.
So my yeah like my natural

295
00:13:02,100 --> 00:13:04,000
instinct.
When I hear mocks Ted is or

296
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,000
don't do that and if we did a
higher Mach said I'd be like

297
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,500
really oh are we doing it in a
box?

298
00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:11,400
So in your opinion what do you
think of when you think of moth

299
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:12,900
monster?
Because I'm a very clear idea,

300
00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:14,900
my yeah.
So when I think of mock said, I

301
00:13:14,900 --> 00:13:18,700
think of the whole show Bank
like you are going to tell your

302
00:13:18,700 --> 00:13:21,900
teachers that for the next two
days or however long amongst

303
00:13:21,900 --> 00:13:24,800
their not an ofsted inspection,
might be for your school.

304
00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:27,800
We're going to spend that amount
of time pretending

305
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,000
wholeheartedly as a school that
those ofsted inspectors walking

306
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,200
around.
It just happens to be me, you

307
00:13:32,208 --> 00:13:34,500
know the head teacher and
someone else we're going to walk

308
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:36,000
around and we're going to box
teju.

309
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,100
So we're going to come into your
lessons.

310
00:13:37,100 --> 00:13:38,700
We can observe.
You were going to talk to all

311
00:13:38,700 --> 00:13:41,100
the subject leaders.
We're going to basically give

312
00:13:41,100 --> 00:13:43,900
you a report and we're going to
try to be ofsted right to give

313
00:13:43,900 --> 00:13:46,300
you guys practice of what it's
like to have off to come around.

314
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,000
And that's what I think of, as a
mock said, the whole shebang we

315
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,100
have to prepare, right?
And I think every subject leader

316
00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:53,500
will say that being prepared
makes them feel more.

317
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:57,300
Confident makes them feel more
ready when from the time comes.

318
00:13:57,300 --> 00:14:01,200
So there is a balancing act to
do isn't there as as leadership

319
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,800
in a school where you want your
staff to be ready and have gone

320
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,900
through the mill if there is so
to say.

321
00:14:07,100 --> 00:14:10,800
But the pressure pressure of a
mock said, it's not necessarily

322
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,600
helpful and what we found was
the way us could have done it

323
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,100
and especially from our point of
view was really, really positive

324
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:19,900
because What was essentially was
we were questioned as if we were

325
00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:22,900
maybe in a meeting with ofsted,
but it was it was way more

326
00:14:22,900 --> 00:14:25,000
informal.
It wasn't a whole day, it was a

327
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,400
chunk of the afternoon and it
wasn't here.

328
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,100
The questions answer me.
I'm not going to give anything.

329
00:14:31,100 --> 00:14:32,600
I'm not going to lie.
Yeah, an appeal.

330
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,700
Is it, was he exactly?
It was here.

331
00:14:34,700 --> 00:14:37,200
The questions.
Tell me what you think, you

332
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,100
might say, here are some ideas
about what else you could do.

333
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,200
And I'm kind of moving on from
there.

334
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,200
So, from our point of view,
having that kind of Middle

335
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,600
Ground, we force really Active.
Then we and even just like the

336
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,500
things that he thinks the show,
sometimes it was cheap, it

337
00:14:50,500 --> 00:14:53,000
wasn't in that we gave a wrong
answer, it was more like a

338
00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:55,300
really cool but like make sure
you just show these documents.

339
00:14:55,300 --> 00:14:56,800
When you talk about the, make
sure you have this up and that

340
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,200
up because then they can see
these certain things and it was

341
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,300
just a few things we'd
overlooked and like we do have

342
00:15:01,300 --> 00:15:03,800
that we had those documents, we
just didn't think of having them

343
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,100
right there with us at that
time, we were like, oh yeah, of

344
00:15:06,100 --> 00:15:08,500
course, that makes sense.
So it was really helpful for us,

345
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,400
but yeah, I don't know.
I can imagine, you know, I know

346
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,100
us and we're really passionate
about mass as well, and that

347
00:15:16,100 --> 00:15:20,100
role I can still imagine though
for a lot of other people,

348
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,300
whether it's just their
personality or because the

349
00:15:22,300 --> 00:15:24,300
subjects completely different,
maybe they're not as passionate

350
00:15:24,300 --> 00:15:27,200
because at the end of the day,
most subject leaders are kind of

351
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,300
just thrown into it.
A primary schools, it's like,

352
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:30,700
oh, hey, on top of your teaching
job.

353
00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:32,500
By the way, you've got to do
this, you just have to because

354
00:15:32,500 --> 00:15:35,400
everyone does apparently.
So, I imagine, I can imagine for

355
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,900
some people even that experience
that we had, which we found

356
00:15:37,900 --> 00:15:40,200
quite positive, probably,
because we were really prepared,

357
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,700
and we're passionate, anyway, I
imagine other people would still

358
00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:45,800
find that really stressful, but
I don't know.

359
00:15:46,300 --> 00:15:50,100
I thought overall for us, it was
the best version of what you

360
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:52,100
could call sort of class as a
box.

361
00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:55,200
Did I guess it wasn't a proper
box set but I you know if we're

362
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,400
going to do it that's the way I
do.

363
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,900
It just a little informal
meeting with someone who's there

364
00:15:58,900 --> 00:16:01,800
to help ask you some questions.
Help you get prepared.

365
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,300
Not two days of walking around
making you feel on edge, you

366
00:16:04,300 --> 00:16:05,500
know?
And it was really good.

367
00:16:05,500 --> 00:16:07,800
Was that shoots, this woman was
fantastic.

368
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,700
The questions were perfect, but
and but she was external, you

369
00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:12,100
know?
And it was that idea of still

370
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:13,600
this is a strange.
This isn't there.

371
00:16:13,700 --> 00:16:15,300
The head.
This isn't the assistant head

372
00:16:15,300 --> 00:16:18,000
that we talk to on a regular
Basis and liaise with this was

373
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,700
someone from the outside coming
in saying no actually this is

374
00:16:19,708 --> 00:16:21,900
what they're going to ask you
and you need to convince me

375
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,900
there's no oh I kind of know
this already where we can skip

376
00:16:24,900 --> 00:16:27,600
over some stuff we had to really
convince her as if she was an

377
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,100
outsider and I want to jump on
what you just said about subject

378
00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:31,400
leadership.
Because it is really, really

379
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,500
interesting.
And I'll be interested to know

380
00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:37,800
any teachers listening if you
lead a subject or not and what

381
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,100
subject is because like you
said, there's this big thing

382
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,400
with schools where it is kind of
a big rule in many schools that

383
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,200
you just need a subject.
Where A single person has to

384
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,400
leave one of the subjects
because if you think we need an

385
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,500
art leader Aditi leader
geography, History Science re

386
00:16:53,700 --> 00:16:56,600
English could be writing, could
be reading math.

387
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,400
Yeah, you know, it's almost
endless and you can share out

388
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,500
these leadership roles between
the whole staff.

389
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:06,000
But there's a discrepancy even
there between ofsted moving

390
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,400
towards a more wholesome
approach.

391
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,900
Not just looking at data of mass
in English, by actually looking

392
00:17:10,900 --> 00:17:14,900
at your curriculum and The Wider
kind of depth of curriculum.

393
00:17:14,900 --> 00:17:16,200
That your children are getting
an error.

394
00:17:16,500 --> 00:17:19,900
Nevada knowledge without
actually, that being transferred

395
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,400
at that same sort of progress
into that, becoming way more

396
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,300
important hasn't kind of
translated into leadership and

397
00:17:26,300 --> 00:17:30,100
getting tlr and extra pay.
So you get kind of dichotomy,

398
00:17:30,100 --> 00:17:33,100
sometimes of huge amounts of
work.

399
00:17:33,100 --> 00:17:35,800
From history coordinators, for
example, ripping up the

400
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,000
curriculum because it's going to
be a huge Focus for ofsted

401
00:17:39,300 --> 00:17:43,100
putting into our history
coordinator has done at like I

402
00:17:43,100 --> 00:17:45,800
can't put into words how many
hours of work.

403
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,300
You know, transforming this
curriculum.

404
00:17:48,300 --> 00:17:50,900
Making it really clear for us.
So that if officer came in, we'd

405
00:17:50,900 --> 00:17:52,100
be saying the same thing as
them.

406
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,700
Our children are get a really
good curriculum.

407
00:17:53,700 --> 00:17:56,700
That matches the skill set
needed, the vocabulary needed,

408
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,900
huge amount of work but no extra
pay.

409
00:17:59,900 --> 00:18:04,100
No tlr whereas as misleads we
share a tlr because math is

410
00:18:04,100 --> 00:18:05,700
math.
English is English, they get

411
00:18:05,700 --> 00:18:09,700
tlrs but it's just a bit of a
bit of a you know it doesn't

412
00:18:09,700 --> 00:18:11,900
match up at the minute, does it?
Yeah, I mean for those that are

413
00:18:11,900 --> 00:18:13,800
listening that maybe aren't in
schools or not in those sorts of

414
00:18:13,808 --> 00:18:16,200
roles just to make that really
clear.

415
00:18:16,700 --> 00:18:20,300
There are some subject leaders
in schools who are in the core

416
00:18:20,300 --> 00:18:22,100
subjects as we call them, which
is mass in English, and

417
00:18:22,100 --> 00:18:25,400
technically science as well.
But the core subjects maths and

418
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,300
English come with extra pay.
So if you'd lead to those

419
00:18:28,300 --> 00:18:31,100
subjects, you are subject to a
tlr which is a teaching and

420
00:18:31,100 --> 00:18:33,800
learning, or teaching, learning
responsibility as it was called.

421
00:18:34,300 --> 00:18:37,200
And yeah, it's just a bit of
extra money across the year to

422
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,600
lead their subjects.
But like you said, the kind of

423
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,100
culture has changed a lot over
the years and ofsted will be

424
00:18:42,100 --> 00:18:43,800
equally interested in these
other subjects.

425
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,200
The idea was, or you get paid
because these are like the main

426
00:18:46,300 --> 00:18:49,500
Subjects often are always going
to hone in on these but is yeah,

427
00:18:49,500 --> 00:18:51,900
it's changing, you know, that
yet they hone in on everything

428
00:18:51,900 --> 00:18:55,200
very quickly and people aren't
paid to lead these other

429
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,400
subjects which is just as much
work if not more sometimes than

430
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,500
the people doing the maths and
English and yeah, it doesn't

431
00:19:01,500 --> 00:19:05,100
make this strange.
I don't know scenario of people

432
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,200
getting paid for something and
not for the other.

433
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,300
Well the good thing is Hayden,
like we said last week and I

434
00:19:09,308 --> 00:19:12,200
called open you've got PPA so
two hours a week just fit in

435
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,500
there.
Yeah, exactly do it then.

436
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,200
And you know, it's really
interesting.

437
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,200
Last point on that, lots of
schools.

438
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,700
Now, you don't even get to tell
offering this to maths, you

439
00:19:20,700 --> 00:19:21,900
know.
It might be given to someone on

440
00:19:21,900 --> 00:19:22,600
that.
Yeah.

441
00:19:22,700 --> 00:19:24,400
Very, very, very common, very
common.

442
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,900
I saw how it was, it was more
people didn't get tlrs for

443
00:19:27,900 --> 00:19:30,500
leading those subjects than the
way I think classic, you know.

444
00:19:30,900 --> 00:19:34,700
Let's make it fair and equal.
None of you get anything now.

445
00:19:34,700 --> 00:19:37,200
Yeah I can see that because that
honestly, that I know it's

446
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,800
stupid, but that's my first
thought I was like, well, at

447
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,400
least at least it's a step
towards fairness for everyone.

448
00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:44,200
It's just that everyone's being
screwed.

449
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:50,000
It just goes into this.
Kind of whole system of massive

450
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,900
massive underfunding where we're
in a culture where we can be

451
00:19:53,900 --> 00:19:55,700
asked to do this.
Huge job.

452
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,800
Huge, huge job, just because,
and I think this might leave

453
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,300
nicely Hayden into our next
section, which we're going to

454
00:20:04,300 --> 00:20:05,900
dive into these next round of
strikes.

455
00:20:08,100 --> 00:20:10,400
So, talking about strikes.
I was going to mention this

456
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,100
earlier by.
I thought I'd wait for this

457
00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:14,200
section, right?
I don't know if you've seen

458
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,400
this, but I've already fall into
this trap, and I think it's kind

459
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,500
of sad, really?
Because when I was leaving on

460
00:20:20,500 --> 00:20:23,100
Tuesday this week, obviously,
knowing that there were strikes

461
00:20:23,100 --> 00:20:26,700
on Wednesday and Thursday and
the majority of our schools

462
00:20:26,700 --> 00:20:29,600
striking.
I was watching people taking

463
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,000
home like, piles and piles, and
piles of books and tests and

464
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,000
things.
And I was thinking, oh God it as

465
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,500
well, as I was walking out with
a For those tests because we've

466
00:20:38,500 --> 00:20:43,900
had test week and I've left
school on Tuesday about 5:45 the

467
00:20:43,908 --> 00:20:48,400
school was kind of closing and I
simply hadn't had enough time to

468
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,500
get an entire batch of test as
Market.

469
00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:53,200
Which what we're doing?
I thought you go, I'll do it

470
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,500
tomorrow and my strike day and
then I got really annoyed at

471
00:20:55,500 --> 00:20:58,800
myself because I'm paying for
that.

472
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:04,200
I'm paying to have the next day
off to strike to take industrial

473
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,100
action.
Make a point, make a stand about

474
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,500
Out, you know, a lots of
different things.

475
00:21:09,500 --> 00:21:12,900
One of them being the sort of
working standards that, you know

476
00:21:12,900 --> 00:21:15,700
the well-being of us.
I'll do it, are marking tests at

477
00:21:15,700 --> 00:21:18,300
home and I just thought Christ.
How many other people how many

478
00:21:18,300 --> 00:21:21,000
listeners right now?
Can honestly say that they went

479
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,200
home and they strikes and they
didn't do any work done about

480
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,000
you, this is such a good point
and it leads really nice in

481
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,600
something else I wanted to talk
about, but it's you hit the nail

482
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,000
on the head, right?
When teach the Striking number

483
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,700
one, our pay is taken, right?
We're not, we're not doing it,

484
00:21:36,700 --> 00:21:38,700
we're not sad.
Sat around doing nothing and

485
00:21:38,700 --> 00:21:41,900
getting paid still, we pay for
that out of our pay packet.

486
00:21:42,300 --> 00:21:46,100
But number two, it doesn't get
rid of all those things.

487
00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:48,300
We talked about over the last
few episodes that extra part of

488
00:21:48,300 --> 00:21:49,900
the job, right?
It doesn't get rid of that.

489
00:21:49,900 --> 00:21:51,600
Those things still need to
happen.

490
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,000
We've essentially just got rid
of that contact time that

491
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,200
teaching time, all of the other
stuff, like you having to get

492
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,300
those test marks and put onto
the area is still has to happen.

493
00:22:00,300 --> 00:22:02,300
Yeah.
At some point and what really,

494
00:22:02,300 --> 00:22:04,600
really, really infuriates me and
it's something maybe we could

495
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:09,100
talk about now is kind of Of
before me, talked about strikes,

496
00:22:09,100 --> 00:22:12,300
it was very much Strikers versus
non-striker's in terms of

497
00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:14,900
teacher versus teacher, right?
And and there was fall out and

498
00:22:14,900 --> 00:22:17,300
it and it did get ugly.
And I'm the first to put my hand

499
00:22:17,300 --> 00:22:21,700
up and say that, in the initial
kind of discussions about

500
00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:23,300
striking.
I was definitely more on the

501
00:22:23,300 --> 00:22:25,000
edge of of course you should
strike.

502
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,800
Of course, we should try because
if this and this and I'm very

503
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,200
aware that sometimes when I get
into it because again I am

504
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,500
passionate about it that it may
sometimes come across as a bit

505
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,800
condescending, especially to
those who maybe just couldn't

506
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,100
afford to Strife, whatever
reason.

507
00:22:37,300 --> 00:22:40,000
Yeah, and I think I've come back
from that a lot more now

508
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
especially after having for
strike days are in about a

509
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,400
month.
I mean that's a huge hit for

510
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:44,400
anyone.
Yeah.

511
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,500
But the thing, I noticed this
time and perhaps you could tell

512
00:22:47,500 --> 00:22:51,600
me what your position on this is
is that teacher versus teacher

513
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,800
again.
But within people who did

514
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:58,300
strike, because I heard stories
last time of teacher who decided

515
00:22:58,300 --> 00:23:02,400
to strike.
But on their day off, didn't go

516
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,500
to the picket line that was
arranged their school and, you

517
00:23:05,500 --> 00:23:08,300
know, didn't actively go out.
And let's say, traditionally

518
00:23:08,300 --> 00:23:11,300
strike, right?
And the next time they met as a

519
00:23:11,300 --> 00:23:13,400
union, when they were discussing
about their next round of strike

520
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,500
action, the any you rep in their
school, who was a teacher,

521
00:23:16,500 --> 00:23:19,400
obviously, made the point of
kind of calling those people

522
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,100
out, almost as if to say and
said this exact line, which I

523
00:23:23,100 --> 00:23:25,700
really disagree with again.
So I'm not just militant any

524
00:23:25,700 --> 00:23:29,900
you, of course, but it was, it's
not a day off, it's a strike

525
00:23:29,900 --> 00:23:31,500
day.
You need to come and show your

526
00:23:31,500 --> 00:23:34,900
support in the picket line and I
know I thought to that and I

527
00:23:34,900 --> 00:23:37,100
wonder what your reaction is to
say, Mike.

528
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,000
Reaction to that.
Is the that's not the only way.

529
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,400
That's not actually the point of
striking like the point of

530
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,900
striking is not to go out there
and get in people's faces to say

531
00:23:47,900 --> 00:23:50,500
what I'm striking.
The point of striking is to not

532
00:23:50,500 --> 00:23:52,800
to be at work like ultimately,
that's the thing you're going to

533
00:23:52,808 --> 00:23:54,900
have the most impact you're
going to have is by not being

534
00:23:54,900 --> 00:23:57,800
there, putting that pressure on
the government to take action.

535
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,900
Right?
Obviously there's the Step Up

536
00:23:59,900 --> 00:24:00,800
where.
Yeah, you could eat.

537
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,000
You can also, you can be quite
like you said by militant about

538
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,900
it, you can get out there on the
streets, you can get your signs

539
00:24:05,900 --> 00:24:08,200
out, you know, stand up.
Picket line and do those things

540
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,400
as well.
But I don't like the idea of

541
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,100
basic insinuating that or you're
doing nothing by just striking

542
00:24:16,100 --> 00:24:17,800
by being at home like you're not
doing nothing.

543
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,300
You're still not being at work,
you still making that point that

544
00:24:20,300 --> 00:24:22,100
impact from the government's
perspective, you know?

545
00:24:22,500 --> 00:24:27,000
So yeah, I would be annoyed if
someone had said that to me by

546
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,800
basically, I get it, you know,
he said you were passionate

547
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,700
right?
Like yeah, I mean, clearly you

548
00:24:31,700 --> 00:24:34,300
could on top of this, but I can
understand why someone would be

549
00:24:34,300 --> 00:24:36,200
that passionate again, on that
next level.

550
00:24:36,900 --> 00:24:38,800
And maybe be a bit condescending
bit.

551
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,700
Rude.
You know, please understand if

552
00:24:40,700 --> 00:24:43,700
you're listening to this that we
don't actually want to strike at

553
00:24:43,700 --> 00:24:45,300
all.
Of course we don't actually want

554
00:24:45,300 --> 00:24:49,300
this but the level of
disruptions level one going up

555
00:24:49,300 --> 00:24:53,400
and showing your showing up in.
London is level 2 it is better.

556
00:24:53,500 --> 00:24:55,600
Of course.
It is I can I completely get

557
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,000
that and I completely agree.
But again maybe it's where I

558
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,000
fell on the other side of
actually I'm going to use this

559
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,200
day off to rest or catch up or
recuperate or do it.

560
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,400
So many other teachers did which
comes into what you said later.

561
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,600
Of lost time.
Lots of people are marking

562
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,500
independent writing.
That takes a long time to my

563
00:25:10,500 --> 00:25:12,100
properly.
Lots of people are catching up

564
00:25:12,100 --> 00:25:16,600
on tests and I just wanted to
tell this story right now

565
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,400
because it shows how conflicting
I am because I didn't do it, but

566
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,000
I really appreciate if you're
listening to this and you showed

567
00:25:23,300 --> 00:25:26,100
you went to a picket line and
you went to, I have so much

568
00:25:26,100 --> 00:25:28,100
respect and praise for you.
And I want to say thank you

569
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,800
because today, obviously there's
lots of other strikes going on

570
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,800
as well.
There's there's Junior.

571
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:38,000
Doctor strikes, there's Other
strikes in that even the BBC.

572
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,600
I think locally, local BBC
people on strike, it was a huge

573
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,100
day of strike action.
I was driving past a local

574
00:25:43,100 --> 00:25:48,000
hospital today and we were in
traffic.

575
00:25:48,100 --> 00:25:51,400
It's like backed up traffic and
we kind of come to a stop

576
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,100
outside.
The hospital where there was

577
00:25:53,100 --> 00:25:56,200
this whole group of people
congregated almost like a picket

578
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,600
line the demonstration.
Yeah.

579
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,400
To show their support and then
when we started up again we

580
00:26:00,408 --> 00:26:02,700
drive past them.
I beat my horn and gave them a

581
00:26:02,700 --> 00:26:05,500
wave, right?
And they are really happy, they

582
00:26:05,500 --> 00:26:08,200
were cheery.
And I felt two overriding

583
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,000
emotions and it was crazy,
right?

584
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,300
Kind of just washed over me.
It was like, I was in a sembly

585
00:26:12,300 --> 00:26:15,600
all over again.
Push it over me because the

586
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,700
first one was almost like
regret.

587
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,000
I kind of wish that I was doing
that.

588
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,000
I was thinking, okay, I'm going
to see my family today, so I

589
00:26:24,008 --> 00:26:25,400
don't regret that.
I have the idol.

590
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,900
Really nice day on my strike.
That I went to see my family.

591
00:26:28,900 --> 00:26:31,000
It was perfect.
It was a really nice kind of

592
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,900
day, just catch up with them.
Saw the little ones, it was

593
00:26:34,900 --> 00:26:38,900
really nice, but I And of regret
not showing my face and just,

594
00:26:38,900 --> 00:26:41,100
you know, showing that support
in the next level like you said,

595
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,900
but then the overriding emotion
after was, you know, pride and

596
00:26:45,900 --> 00:26:50,400
and like passion and I was so
happy for like I know they're

597
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,000
striking and I can't really put
this into words but my whole

598
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,600
being was taken over with yes
like solidarity.

599
00:26:57,700 --> 00:27:01,700
Like you just well done.
You've put yourself out there

600
00:27:01,900 --> 00:27:07,400
and I thank you because I just
hope that this Stays this

601
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,100
feeling of it's unjust.
This feeling of you are the

602
00:27:11,100 --> 00:27:14,800
people who are the glue to this
country, the nurses, the

603
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,400
healthcare, the teachers that
Railway workers the shop

604
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,800
workers.
These are the real people who

605
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,600
actually keep our country
together and they are they're

606
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,500
saying, no and I just like got
emotional almost, I really did

607
00:27:27,500 --> 00:27:31,800
genuinely, and I just thought
Brilliant like look what you're

608
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,800
doing, you've taken a cut.
You've taken a pay cut to argue

609
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,400
how you're not getting paid
enough.

610
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,400
If that isn't the ultimate show
of how much you believe in

611
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,500
something then what is and they
were just wondering why Wreck-It

612
00:27:43,500 --> 00:27:47,800
Ralph was driving past in and
they were happy to see you.

613
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,000
It was nice to see a character.
So big and so popular.

614
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,700
Do that and show support jokes
aside?

615
00:27:53,700 --> 00:27:54,900
I do agree.
Even listen to you.

616
00:27:54,908 --> 00:27:58,200
Tell that story I almost got
like secondhand emotions that

617
00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,600
because I know exactly how you
feel.

618
00:27:59,700 --> 00:28:01,200
Cuz I'll be the same and I am a
little bit.

619
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,700
Disappointed in myself for not
being, you know, one of those

620
00:28:03,700 --> 00:28:05,000
picket lines or those rallies.
I know.

621
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,600
There's still time.
We can do it another day, but

622
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,800
yeah, equally just like ice ice
around.

623
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,700
I'm Mark tests.
I go ahead and I spoke to so

624
00:28:13,700 --> 00:28:16,000
many people that were like, oh,
thank God.

625
00:28:16,300 --> 00:28:18,600
I can get, I can get some work
done so that I can have a

626
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,000
weekend for once, like, what a
sad State of Affairs and it's

627
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,000
just highlights again.
So, yes, it's, you know, this is

628
00:28:24,008 --> 00:28:27,200
a huge reason to strike the
working conditions of teachers

629
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:28,800
is ridiculous.
It's stupid.

630
00:28:29,300 --> 00:28:31,100
Yeah.
And I think the kind of, the

631
00:28:31,100 --> 00:28:33,900
point I want to make now moving
forward, is that kind of Pride

632
00:28:33,900 --> 00:28:37,400
and just so.
So glad that these people feel,

633
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,000
they can come together to make
this point and it's just met

634
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,600
with a brick wall.
And it really frustrates me

635
00:28:44,900 --> 00:28:49,000
because especially in England
where education is devolved in

636
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,900
terms of, you know, you know,
Scotland and Wales have certain

637
00:28:51,900 --> 00:28:54,400
powers even though they're part
of the British government,

638
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,800
there's certain powers that are
handed over to Scottish MPS and

639
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,400
Welsh MPS for them to have their
own.

640
00:28:59,700 --> 00:29:01,400
Budgets and saw their own things
out, right?

641
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,300
Yeah.
It is Scotland.

642
00:29:02,300 --> 00:29:04,900
And Wales education is one of
them, so they're in charge of

643
00:29:04,900 --> 00:29:07,200
their own curriculum, they're in
charge of their own funding.

644
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,000
That's why tuition fees in
Scotland a free because the

645
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,100
government have chosen to take
that step because they're in

646
00:29:12,100 --> 00:29:15,500
charge of that for Scotland.
So in Scotland, and in Wales,

647
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,600
they've had pay offers, right?
They've had pay offers come in

648
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,500
so that they can kind of decide
for themselves, whether they

649
00:29:22,500 --> 00:29:26,000
want to accept that or not and
that was without the the strikes

650
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,500
being called off, okay?
So Scotland voted I believe too.

651
00:29:29,700 --> 00:29:33,600
Checked them Wales is currently.
Now having received the offer

652
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,900
called off the strikes to ballot
their members to see if that's

653
00:29:35,900 --> 00:29:36,800
what they want.
Okay?

654
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:42,200
Right Keegan Keegan is the
education surgery.

655
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:47,800
She opened penned a letter, an
open letter to parents, okay.

656
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,700
And in this letter it was
released the day before the

657
00:29:50,700 --> 00:29:53,500
strike.
So on on Tuesday, I believe and

658
00:29:53,500 --> 00:29:56,300
it was just just classic
government kind of like safety

659
00:29:56,300 --> 00:29:59,500
safety net of framing the
Union's as the bad guy.

660
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,900
Guys, and it was just along the
lines of, you know, we don't

661
00:30:02,900 --> 00:30:06,100
want this instruction.
Tappin, we've offered this Olive

662
00:30:06,100 --> 00:30:10,000
Branch to the any you we've
said, if they just call off, the

663
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,000
strikes will sit around the
table and have discussions.

664
00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:16,000
So, you know, trying to shift
the blame basically, and saying

665
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,400
the any you are obsessed with
striking, two things to say to

666
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,200
this, okay?
Or two things to say to this.

667
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:26,500
Number one, we are the any you,
the teachers are the any you,

668
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,900
they are.
They have this really, really

669
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,700
hard line.
I love trying to characterize

670
00:30:30,700 --> 00:30:33,000
the union so you don't have to
characterize the teachers and

671
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,400
just outright them all true.
We are the any you, we vote.

672
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,800
We represent the eight.
What do you think?

673
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,700
We are like the people at the
top of any you ballot.

674
00:30:42,700 --> 00:30:45,500
Us at this really high threshold
that the government set that, I

675
00:30:45,508 --> 00:30:48,300
never thought would get that.
We'd get to, we got there

676
00:30:48,300 --> 00:30:50,700
because we the teachers voted
for that.

677
00:30:50,900 --> 00:30:53,100
So every time they say that any
you are obsessed with striking,

678
00:30:53,100 --> 00:30:54,900
we can see straight through
that, we know what you're

679
00:30:54,900 --> 00:30:56,800
saying.
And the second thing I want to

680
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:01,700
say to that, Is what are you
talking about?

681
00:31:01,900 --> 00:31:04,000
Call off the strikes and then
we'll have a discussion.

682
00:31:04,500 --> 00:31:07,300
No of that.
What do you mean?

683
00:31:07,500 --> 00:31:09,700
We're striking for a better pay
deal.

684
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,600
We're not striking to have a
chat.

685
00:31:11,900 --> 00:31:14,300
We're not striking to have a
little chinwag round, the table

686
00:31:14,300 --> 00:31:17,200
when which you'll just say no
and get rid of the strikes and

687
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,700
not give us anything Scotland,
managed to do it, whales managed

688
00:31:20,700 --> 00:31:24,700
to do it in 2011 when there was
a pensions debacle is teachers

689
00:31:24,700 --> 00:31:26,900
and they were negotiating with
the government, all those

690
00:31:26,900 --> 00:31:29,000
negotiations.
Happened whilst industrial

691
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,800
action was on the way.
There was never a cat.

692
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,000
She's changed the goalposts
suddenly and try to shift onto

693
00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:36,500
you, stop striking and we'll
talk about it.

694
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,700
You're talking like a teacher to
your class.

695
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,600
You start behaving yourself and
maybe we got four golden time.

696
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,900
It's not going to cut, is it is
exactly what you said.

697
00:31:43,900 --> 00:31:47,200
It Paints the, any you us
teachers, literally everyone, in

698
00:31:47,208 --> 00:31:48,800
education.
It pains them at the bad people,

699
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,600
simple.
It's a clever plan and it will,

700
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,000
you know, a lot of people will
fall into it.

701
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,300
It's just the way, the way it
works in the country, a lot of

702
00:31:55,300 --> 00:31:58,700
people will be like, yeah, yeah,
actually Yeah, the teachers are

703
00:31:58,700 --> 00:32:00,500
scum and it's like, they really
want us.

704
00:32:00,500 --> 00:32:02,900
They really want to strike,
they're just doing it because

705
00:32:02,900 --> 00:32:06,400
they love striking and I just
hate that people like so many

706
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:11,300
people can't Elevate their
thinking slightly more to

707
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:17,400
questioning hmm option.
A suddenly hundreds of thousands

708
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:21,000
of teachers and educational
staff are all scum.

709
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:25,300
Now, despite doing a job that's
like inherently, like relies on

710
00:32:25,308 --> 00:32:28,200
people, caring about children,
they're all Come now.

711
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,300
And they've all become greedy in
unison at the same time.

712
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,000
That's mad.
Haven't they?

713
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,600
And they all hate children's,
they're striking or maybe, maybe

714
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,500
hundreds of thousands of people
collectively have had enough

715
00:32:40,500 --> 00:32:43,800
because the government of wrong,
they're in the wrong.

716
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,300
Maybe that's why it's like which
one is it?

717
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,400
I'll Keegan said it was the, it
was the Union's.

718
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,800
They love striking.
So yeah, that's punches up.

719
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:51,900
That's it.
Hundreds of thousands of

720
00:32:51,908 --> 00:32:53,300
teachers.
All scum, all greedy.

721
00:32:53,300 --> 00:32:55,900
Now, what they were compliant or
for the last 12 years, but

722
00:32:55,900 --> 00:32:57,700
they're greedy.
Now, you know where they are.

723
00:32:57,900 --> 00:33:00,500
Though, because actually I
checked in the Daily Mail, so

724
00:33:01,100 --> 00:33:02,300
lazy.
Yeah, yeah.

725
00:33:02,300 --> 00:33:04,500
And actually it's impartial,
even though all of it is owned

726
00:33:04,500 --> 00:33:06,100
by, you know, Tory's doesn't
matter.

727
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,800
Because it's truth is fine.
Because Boris Johnson has, you

728
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,900
know, offered up their the head
of the day.

729
00:33:11,900 --> 00:33:15,100
It's all fine, it's all fine
because you know, it's fine

730
00:33:15,100 --> 00:33:17,500
because the BBC has a left-wing
bias obviously.

731
00:33:17,500 --> 00:33:20,200
So everything else.
But, you know, ignore the fact

732
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,200
that it's bound by a Tory donor.
You know, the, the media

733
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:27,100
completely impartial and
teachers are obviously just just

734
00:33:27,100 --> 00:33:28,200
lazy.
We At the most.

735
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,000
It's just weird, isn't it?
That like it must have been the

736
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,700
maybe maybe like a few years
ago.

737
00:33:33,100 --> 00:33:34,300
It's just this massive greedy
way.

738
00:33:34,300 --> 00:33:36,700
If you know, all these great
people with trained to be

739
00:33:36,708 --> 00:33:38,300
teachers at the same time and
they all said, you know what

740
00:33:38,300 --> 00:33:41,800
we'll do in a few years time,
we're all going to decide to be

741
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,800
a bit more greedy at the exact
same time.

742
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,600
Yeah.
And and we'll just it will just

743
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,100
hold the country to Ransom and
we'll strike because we love it,

744
00:33:48,100 --> 00:33:52,500
not because we could go to those
those meetings and and you know,

745
00:33:52,500 --> 00:33:55,000
get get rejected off our or we
love striking so much.

746
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,900
We're just going to make it, you
know, horrendous or the country.

747
00:33:56,900 --> 00:33:59,100
I'm gonna keep doing it.
Because migrating out of sent

748
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,400
and you know what really grinds
my gears, I'm really gets me up

749
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,200
about this actually Hayden is
that we clapped all these guys

750
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:08,000
was at nine off.
Yeah she's miyaichi no blasted

751
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,000
probably isn't the teachers when
I Clap the NHS goals and Anais

752
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:15,900
use, Excuse me, inflation is
really high and might because of

753
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:17,900
your incompetent leader who was
around 40 days.

754
00:34:18,100 --> 00:34:21,699
My mortgage is about to go up by
four hundred pounds, a month and

755
00:34:21,699 --> 00:34:24,100
food is doubled.
And I'm just, I'm just really,

756
00:34:24,199 --> 00:34:27,000
I'm just really struggling to
get by and I was just wondering

757
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,199
if Maybe we could have some kind
of some kind of increasing our

758
00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:31,900
payback, that kept us up with
your face.

759
00:34:31,900 --> 00:34:36,500
Yeah, lazy.
You're lazy, right.

760
00:34:36,500 --> 00:34:39,100
It's time to move on to our
little end of episode sections.

761
00:34:39,100 --> 00:34:40,600
I absolutely love these.
Before we get in.

762
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,800
We've got some toxic stories.
This week, back to that one,

763
00:34:43,100 --> 00:34:45,100
reading forward to that Hayden,
Scotland for us.

764
00:34:45,100 --> 00:34:47,300
I've not heard these.
So I'm kind of looking forward

765
00:34:47,300 --> 00:34:49,500
to it and half excited to get a
bit annoyed.

766
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,900
You know, that feeling,
sometimes you quite like it in a

767
00:34:52,908 --> 00:34:55,000
bit, riled up.

784
00:35:38,700 --> 00:35:41,100
I've done my bit.
I've done my little plug, we

785
00:35:41,100 --> 00:35:42,900
don't have a sponsor, so I'm
sure you guys don't mind me.

786
00:35:42,900 --> 00:35:46,000
Talking for a minute about that.
Do you want to tell me now?

787
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,000
Yes.
Got you riled up this week?

788
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,800
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Now these I'm hoping this will

789
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,200
spark a discussion, like you
said, get a bit riled up, maybe

790
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:54,600
they're not crazy things.
Okay?

791
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,100
But there's just a good
discussion point.

792
00:35:56,100 --> 00:36:00,100
So I saw recently I heard you're
from some from reading, some

793
00:36:00,100 --> 00:36:04,000
things online.
There was a TA just asking for a

794
00:36:04,008 --> 00:36:06,200
bit of advice and saying that
they've got a contract that

795
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,800
starts at 8:30.
And this is really important

796
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,400
because that person they have to
start at 8:30 because of their

797
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,200
own child care, like routine in
the morning, okay?

798
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,200
So that was very, that was like
a really important part of that

799
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,800
contract.
But that now being reprimanded

800
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,000
by the school, they work for,
and they're in quite a lot of

801
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,200
trouble because they get there,
8:30.

802
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:32,300
And that's saying you need to be
in the school here at 8:20 so

803
00:36:32,300 --> 00:36:34,300
that you can prep.
You can be ready to start.

804
00:36:34,500 --> 00:36:36,900
Start, you know, doing whatever
you need to be doing 8:30.

805
00:36:37,700 --> 00:36:40,700
And this person saying, you
know, the whole point of our

806
00:36:40,700 --> 00:36:42,700
contrasting, 8:30 was because
that's the that's like the

807
00:36:42,700 --> 00:36:44,700
earliest time.
I can, I can be here, you know,

808
00:36:44,700 --> 00:36:47,500
because of my, it's a knock-on
effect to their child care

809
00:36:47,500 --> 00:36:50,600
routine in the morning because I
have to be ready 10 minutes

810
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,800
before they start and there's
the school has made it very

811
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,600
explicit.
Those ten minutes won't be paid.

812
00:36:55,900 --> 00:36:59,000
They said your pay.
Your pay starts at 8:30 and they

813
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,000
were asking for advice and I
just thought was really

814
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:02,400
interesting.
I thought you know, I don't know

815
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:03,800
if whether you think this is
toxic or not.

816
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,000
I thought a good discussion
point.

817
00:37:05,300 --> 00:37:07,400
So yeah, a couple of things come
to mind straight away.

818
00:37:07,500 --> 00:37:09,700
I'll say the first thing because
it's really quick and really

819
00:37:09,700 --> 00:37:13,500
easy T.
Azar gold dust and angels and I

820
00:37:13,500 --> 00:37:17,300
love them and I'm very aware,
you know, you know, and very

821
00:37:17,300 --> 00:37:19,800
sentimental, very sentiment is
podcast, but it's true.

822
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,200
And I don't think we say it
enough here and get it across.

823
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,900
How much we just appreciate them
so much.

824
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,400
They are the literal glue to.
So Many schools, aren't they?

825
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,400
Because they are just the people
who get things done for you and

826
00:37:31,500 --> 00:37:34,000
they their teachers in their own
right there.

827
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,600
Kind of, you know, those figures
of you can put your, you know,

828
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,800
that shoulder to cry on.
So to say, you can go with them

829
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,600
with your problems.
But listen, they support their,

830
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:43,900
just the best people in the
world.

831
00:37:43,900 --> 00:37:47,200
And so many of my favorite
colleagues ever have been those

832
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,900
T8, especially the start of my
career, the start my career

833
00:37:49,900 --> 00:37:53,500
teachers are busy busy, busy
non-stop Tas are just as busy,

834
00:37:53,500 --> 00:37:55,300
but they just always find time
to listen to you.

835
00:37:55,300 --> 00:37:59,000
I find that and You know, just
so first thing, we appreciate

836
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:00,900
you absolutely.
Second thing on the story.

837
00:38:00,900 --> 00:38:04,500
It's an interesting one because
for me, there's one thing that

838
00:38:04,500 --> 00:38:06,400
came to mind, but something that
kind of changes in this

839
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,400
situation for me.
So the first thing that came to

840
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,900
my mind is when I was at
University and its sixth form.

841
00:38:11,100 --> 00:38:16,300
I worked as though my contract
was 8:55 on a Friday and 12:00

842
00:38:16,300 --> 00:38:19,300
to 8:00 on a Saturday.
So I did 12 hours a week whilst

843
00:38:19,300 --> 00:38:21,000
I was at six form.
Just as you know, some pocket,

844
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:25,700
money to save up, run my car
when I passed my test and when

845
00:38:25,700 --> 00:38:29,400
my contract My shift started at
four, you know?

846
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:33,900
And it was just expected and it
was kind of taken as just.

847
00:38:33,900 --> 00:38:38,700
The fact that I clock in just, I
clock in before for so that I

848
00:38:38,700 --> 00:38:42,000
can go on to the stuff, the shop
floor, I could start work at for

849
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,900
because I'm there to start work.
Now, that means I arrived at

850
00:38:44,900 --> 00:38:47,700
Asda a course to 4 or 10 to 4,
right?

851
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:52,000
And I walked through the outside
door into Asda at 3:50 because

852
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,600
then I would go to my locker,
put my things away, you maybe

853
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,900
get a quick drink and Maybe on
the shop floor, ready to start

854
00:38:57,900 --> 00:38:59,800
work.
So my initial thought there was

855
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,500
okay, well actually, I think
it's quite normal in the world

856
00:39:02,500 --> 00:39:05,100
of work for.
If your your contract starts at

857
00:39:05,100 --> 00:39:07,500
certain time, you're expected to
actually be working at that

858
00:39:07,500 --> 00:39:09,700
time.
You know and anything, you know,

859
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,100
you don't get paid to travel to
work, you know your travel time

860
00:39:12,100 --> 00:39:16,200
isn't paid and in the same way
as your prep time before doesn't

861
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,000
get paid when I threw the doors.
Yeah, exactly.

862
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,100
Now the thing that slightly
different in this situation is

863
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,900
it sounds as if this was a
discussion that was already had

864
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,200
that, you know, I need to have
this time because of X, Y Zed

865
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,900
and If that kind of was maybe it
was a miscommunication at the

866
00:39:29,900 --> 00:39:31,500
time or maybe it's just
something that they've

867
00:39:31,500 --> 00:39:33,400
overlooked and now they say no,
you need to be here.

868
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,200
That's going to have a really
detrimental effect.

869
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,800
It sounds to me as if this
person isn't isn't just, you

870
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,400
know, they're not just dusting
off and saying, no, no, I just I

871
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,100
come here at this time.
The, you know, that child,

872
00:39:42,100 --> 00:39:45,700
they've got child support.
So surely, I think in any sane

873
00:39:45,700 --> 00:39:48,000
mind, if that happened at my
school, I'd have a sit-down, I

874
00:39:48,008 --> 00:39:50,500
said, okay, how can we solve
this problem then because you've

875
00:39:50,500 --> 00:39:53,100
got to do this and, yeah, rather
than being reprimanded and kind

876
00:39:53,100 --> 00:39:56,200
of threatened, all this.
I reckon the school probably or

877
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:57,500
just In the similar sort of
opinions.

878
00:39:57,500 --> 00:39:58,700
What you had there?
Have like, well we're you know,

879
00:39:58,700 --> 00:40:02,600
we're paying you from 8:30.
So you need to be like working

880
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,100
from on the dot, you know, from
8:30.

881
00:40:04,100 --> 00:40:06,000
So you need to get here in
reasonable time to start that

882
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,000
job at 8:30, but it did make me
think.

883
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,100
And I know I don't want to go
down this Rabbit Hole really now

884
00:40:10,100 --> 00:40:13,600
but it did make me think about
we all just, you know, we just

885
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,700
sucked into this culture, which
is actually inherently just

886
00:40:15,700 --> 00:40:19,100
wrong of, like end of the day.
You're paying for my time.

887
00:40:19,500 --> 00:40:23,100
I am here at 8:30, I'm walking
through the doors, 8:30, if he

888
00:40:23,100 --> 00:40:24,500
won't pay me, I wouldn't be
here.

889
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,500
Like this is not my choice.
Kind of like you wish you know

890
00:40:27,500 --> 00:40:29,700
shit shit we just change the
culture of it, shouldn't be.

891
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,100
Yeah, we pay you from the second
you get here because actually

892
00:40:32,100 --> 00:40:35,300
you're not here for a jolly even
walking through the doors and go

893
00:40:35,300 --> 00:40:37,800
put your stuff in a locker.
When you're asked her ass till

894
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,900
your time, you're not doing that
for fun, you're doing that as

895
00:40:39,900 --> 00:40:41,900
part of the job.
It's just that we've convinced

896
00:40:41,900 --> 00:40:45,000
ourselves that no, no.
You can only be paid for the

897
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,300
second, your labor is making
money for that.

898
00:40:47,300 --> 00:40:50,400
The company in anything, it
takes to be there, no matter how

899
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,000
hard we make that, it's not
paid, that's just you just do

900
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,000
that.
Yeah, so I don't do, you know,

901
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,400
is to do, we just need to have a
bit of a shift.

902
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:57,800
I'm thinking it's an interesting
one.

903
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,700
I don't necessarily think that
expecting someone to start their

904
00:41:01,700 --> 00:41:05,900
work, when their contract starts
is, is, you know, out of the is

905
00:41:05,900 --> 00:41:08,000
extraordinary.
You know, is another thing, I

906
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,900
think, I think that that is
something like, said ingrained

907
00:41:09,900 --> 00:41:12,000
in the culture, so it's a weird
one, but, yeah.

908
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,800
I think they're specifics of
that case, you know, I just, I

909
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,700
hate the when people in the
position of power immediately,

910
00:41:18,700 --> 00:41:21,500
go to kind of like, you know,
wielding the building the knife

911
00:41:21,500 --> 00:41:24,900
almost to be like, well, no
acceptable, rather than just.

912
00:41:24,900 --> 00:41:26,500
Okay.
You know, let's make this

913
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,100
Because they're human beings.
Okay, let's start your contract

914
00:41:29,100 --> 00:41:30,200
840 then.
Yeah.

915
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,400
To give you time and you can
still get 8:30 if that's you

916
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:33,500
know if that's going to be the
thing.

917
00:41:33,500 --> 00:41:35,300
Yeah.
And I need 10 minutes early.

918
00:41:35,300 --> 00:41:37,800
I bet I bet the reactions that
would be oh thank you.

919
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:39,400
Yeah.
Sounds good or you know or

920
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:40,700
actually I need that extra 10
minutes.

921
00:41:40,700 --> 00:41:43,100
Could I stay 10 minutes later at
the end and maybe prep the next

922
00:41:43,100 --> 00:41:45,200
day just to then?
I don't know.

923
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,300
So that's the end of that story.
I've got another story.

924
00:41:47,300 --> 00:41:49,400
I'm going to just jump straight
every here.

925
00:41:50,100 --> 00:41:52,200
This woman was actually it's
quite refreshing but I've seen

926
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,400
this story lots of times and I
know you're going to be like, oh

927
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,400
yeah, I've heard this before,
okay.

928
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,500
It was a pgce student.
So pgce is, well, is what did

929
00:41:59,500 --> 00:42:02,400
and I both did?
It's a one year teaching course.

930
00:42:02,500 --> 00:42:05,000
And you have to have a degree
already to be able to do the one

931
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,500
year.
If you, if you don't have a

932
00:42:06,508 --> 00:42:08,400
degree already, you have to do
the three year course, right?

933
00:42:08,500 --> 00:42:11,700
So this person was doing the
pgce and they were just talking

934
00:42:11,700 --> 00:42:15,000
about how they felt like in
their placement school, which is

935
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,400
about nine.
Ten weeks of practicing teaching

936
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,900
at a school.
They were just abused, and used

937
00:42:20,900 --> 00:42:24,200
as free labor, and they were
given absolutely no support to

938
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,500
the point where they felt like
they were actually treated.

939
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,300
Be badly.
They were talk to you rudely and

940
00:42:29,300 --> 00:42:32,200
they were just basically used as
free work in the school.

941
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:36,800
There was no development for
them and then this person was

942
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,300
then questioning because of
these experiences and also

943
00:42:39,300 --> 00:42:42,200
seeing all of the extra stuff
that's used have to do which

944
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,000
again go back and listen to our
PP.

945
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,700
A silly joke that we made at the
start of last episode because it

946
00:42:46,700 --> 00:42:49,800
highlights all of these things,
they realize that actually

947
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,200
there's a lot more to teaching
them, maybe they thought and

948
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:56,400
they sort of left with the
question of it is this job worth

949
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,700
doing Doing is this?
Have I made a terrible decision

950
00:42:58,700 --> 00:43:01,000
was what they put?
Yeah, it's so common.

951
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,900
It's so common couple of things
to kind of dissect.

952
00:43:02,900 --> 00:43:06,300
Their the first thing about
almost like free labor with

953
00:43:06,300 --> 00:43:09,600
students, right?
It's such a fine line because

954
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:15,900
truly genuinely, when I trained,
I made the most rapid progress

955
00:43:15,900 --> 00:43:18,900
in my teaching, and my
confidence, and in my ability to

956
00:43:18,900 --> 00:43:21,600
devote deliver lessons while
when I talk more and more.

957
00:43:21,700 --> 00:43:24,300
Okay?
So, so the idea of actually

958
00:43:24,300 --> 00:43:27,700
teaching Lots, I personally They
felt like that was a real

959
00:43:27,700 --> 00:43:30,100
benefit, okay?
Now everyone's different and

960
00:43:30,100 --> 00:43:32,600
that that kind of Journey to
teaching a certain percentage.

961
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,300
I think it works up to 80
percent by the end is different

962
00:43:35,300 --> 00:43:37,000
for everyone, depending on what
they need.

963
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:41,100
But, you know the the line
though is is exactly that.

964
00:43:41,100 --> 00:43:44,500
How helpful this what's
happening, are you with the same

965
00:43:44,500 --> 00:43:46,900
math class everyday planning, us
planning?

966
00:43:46,900 --> 00:43:49,500
A sequence of maths lessons?
Seeing how the, children

967
00:43:49,500 --> 00:43:52,300
develop, seeing how they use
previous learning to build on

968
00:43:52,300 --> 00:43:55,000
day by day?
Delivering that lesson yourself

969
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:59,000
planning future lessons based On
where they are, that is very

970
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,200
different to being asked in the
morning.

971
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,600
Are we give free teachers off?
Can you go and do some your free

972
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,200
math?
Oh, by the way, in the afternoon

973
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,400
year six they've got a trip and
we've got sort of the

974
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,000
residential and the kids are
left behind.

975
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,000
There's no teacher to teach can
take the residential.

976
00:44:11,100 --> 00:44:13,100
You're not even teaching, you
know, you're just babysitting

977
00:44:13,100 --> 00:44:14,700
children and doing like, tie-dye
covering.

978
00:44:14,700 --> 00:44:16,900
Yeah.
Just covering it's very, very,

979
00:44:16,900 --> 00:44:20,100
very different.
And I can see the Temptation for

980
00:44:20,300 --> 00:44:24,500
for staff, for SLT in schools
that have lots of students to

981
00:44:24,500 --> 00:44:28,300
save a lot of money on cover.
Right by using these students

982
00:44:28,300 --> 00:44:31,900
but there's a moral obligation.
If you have students, you have

983
00:44:31,900 --> 00:44:35,700
decided that you're going to
help develop them and you've got

984
00:44:35,700 --> 00:44:37,500
to do that.
And that's got to be sacrosanct,

985
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:39,100
I think throughout.
And what's best for the student

986
00:44:39,100 --> 00:44:43,800
has to come first and not only
are you not paying them in a lot

987
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,300
of cases that they are paying to
be there?

988
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,200
You know people that don't have
funded courses if they're just

989
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:52,200
doing a straight up pgce and
they've been hit with the full

990
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,900
nine and a half Grand or
whatever it is these days fee

991
00:44:54,900 --> 00:44:57,700
for that year they are paying NG
to be in that school.

992
00:44:57,700 --> 00:44:59,900
They're paying for your
experience and training.

993
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,400
And yeah, I agree that there is
a fine line and it can be so

994
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,800
easy because schools are so
horrific be underfunded and

995
00:45:05,808 --> 00:45:09,600
under so much stress that yeah,
I can see the temptation of a

996
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,600
leader going.
We could pay for a supply

997
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,000
teacher or we've got that
student who has got a day where

998
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:15,500
they get to just go and observe
people.

999
00:45:15,500 --> 00:45:17,400
Should we just ask them to cover
this and say it's their

1000
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,900
experience and it's like, you
know, I can see it because they

1001
00:45:19,900 --> 00:45:21,000
because they probably convince
themselves.

1002
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,600
It's really good experience,
really good speaker, gonna cover

1003
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:23,900
that year, 3 class, you get to
teach you.

1004
00:45:23,900 --> 00:45:28,300
Threes and really, yeah, There's
some experience they had, but

1005
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,400
that's not what I'm paying for.
They're not paying for that, you

1006
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:31,800
know.
And so I just thought I was an

1007
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:33,700
interesting one.
If I remember correctly, schools

1008
00:45:33,700 --> 00:45:36,800
do actually receive a nominal
fee but they do receive a fee to

1009
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,900
take students as well.
And I noticed something.

1010
00:45:38,900 --> 00:45:42,300
No, it's not a lot, you know.
But the idea is that you might

1011
00:45:42,300 --> 00:45:46,800
have to arrange cover not for
the student but for maybe the,

1012
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,900
the mentor to be out of class
and have meetings, right?

1013
00:45:50,900 --> 00:45:52,600
And maybe that funds could go
towards that.

1014
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,600
Like the idea is that it has to
be centered around the student,

1015
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:56,600
and it's so sad.
Sad.

1016
00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:00,300
Isn't it that that student you
know their experience has

1017
00:46:00,300 --> 00:46:03,000
directly LED them after first
placement to go?

1018
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,800
Okay well what's the point my
response to that person if they

1019
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,900
were listening obviously they're
not but if they were and

1020
00:46:07,900 --> 00:46:12,100
anyone's in the same situation
would be give it another try.

1021
00:46:12,100 --> 00:46:13,800
Go to another place, go to
another school.

1022
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,300
And generally, do you know what?
My advice generally, to people

1023
00:46:16,300 --> 00:46:19,700
who have a really bad time at
the moment in schools is schools

1024
00:46:19,700 --> 00:46:21,800
are just this.
It's just so not regulated at

1025
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,100
all.
Schools are so different from

1026
00:46:24,100 --> 00:46:26,400
one another before you pack it
in.

1027
00:46:26,700 --> 00:46:29,000
Because you had a bad
experience, I just urge you, you

1028
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,100
know, go and try another place.
Obviously, they have to do that,

1029
00:46:31,100 --> 00:46:33,600
you can do what you want but for
those that feel like they love

1030
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,800
teaching and then there's just
something, you know, that's

1031
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,800
changed her mind at the last
four years, try somewhere else.

1032
00:46:38,100 --> 00:46:41,300
Changing schools can be a
game-changer for a lot of people

1033
00:46:41,500 --> 00:46:43,100
because there are some fantastic
schools out there.

1034
00:46:43,100 --> 00:46:46,100
We moan a lot because we want to
relate to some of you guys that

1035
00:46:46,100 --> 00:46:47,500
you know, you work in a tough
job.

1036
00:46:47,900 --> 00:46:50,700
But equally there are some
amazing schools out there who

1037
00:46:50,700 --> 00:46:53,000
have amazing headteachers,
amazing teachers amazing Tas

1038
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,200
amazing student teachers.
You get incredible experiences.

1039
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,400
I had an incredible experience.
Training to be a teacher.

1040
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,200
I'm pretty sure you divide a
fantastic experience and because

1041
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,200
you know, I will say this that
you know, this school really did

1042
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,600
give me that chance to kind of,
you know, teach I covered

1043
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,300
sometimes.
But that was, you know, very

1044
00:47:07,300 --> 00:47:09,500
rare.
And I absolutely agree to that

1045
00:47:09,500 --> 00:47:13,100
and I felt like I really made a
bond with my class and the

1046
00:47:13,100 --> 00:47:16,100
teachers are my mentors around.
Me were unbelievable and always

1047
00:47:16,100 --> 00:47:20,300
be in debt to those people.
And for that reason, I do like

1048
00:47:20,300 --> 00:47:23,600
to think that, no matter how
stressed I get, I would be there

1049
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,400
to offer help to anyone, you
know, entering the profession.

1050
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,900
We will get two stories from the
classroom, but we're going to do

1051
00:47:30,900 --> 00:47:32,900
a really quick confessions
because this is kind of like

1052
00:47:32,900 --> 00:47:36,000
the, this is the result of us,
kind of opening.

1053
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,900
This kind of flowers are several
different types of strands of

1054
00:47:38,900 --> 00:47:40,300
parts, of the population.
Yeah.

1055
00:47:40,300 --> 00:47:42,600
So we've got some confessions
now, I really, really, really

1056
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:46,200
like this one because this one
kind of leads on last video.

1057
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:47,800
We talked about the harrybo.
Okay.

1058
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,200
So anyone who follows our
Instagram as well will see that.

1059
00:47:50,300 --> 00:47:52,800
After I heard about story last
week about the teacher who

1060
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,400
literally ate the remains of the
hobo bag even though it's for

1061
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,600
the party at the weekend.
You will see that I have this

1062
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,800
week, had to hand out some
sweets, and I tell you what, I

1063
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,900
noticed right away that they
were two bags of 22, right?

1064
00:48:04,900 --> 00:48:07,600
So I was like that's 44.
There are not 44 kids in my

1065
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,600
class.
I can't wait to take a leaf out

1066
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:13,000
of that person's book.
So I dismissed the children I

1067
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,600
kind of left the girl handing
out the harrybo's as they went

1068
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,000
out.
And I said, I'll coach join the

1069
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:18,900
back of the line and I'll see
you out and she came out and I

1070
00:48:18,908 --> 00:48:20,100
saw her out.
She didn't have any hair was

1071
00:48:20,100 --> 00:48:22,100
left in her hand and I was like,
jackpot.

1072
00:48:22,100 --> 00:48:24,500
I've got like 12 bags of harrybo
waiting for me in the classroom.

1073
00:48:24,700 --> 00:48:26,400
Went back completely, empty
turns out.

1074
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,500
She's In the last few kids, like
5H just to get rid of him at the

1075
00:48:29,500 --> 00:48:31,900
end.
But anyway, this story, it's

1076
00:48:31,900 --> 00:48:35,700
linked to her bow and I'll just
read out to you because I got

1077
00:48:35,700 --> 00:48:37,700
Center on Instagram.
That's the place to be guys,

1078
00:48:37,700 --> 00:48:40,800
teach sleep, repeat podcast, get
an Instagram, share your stories

1079
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,100
with us.
You could be on the podcast, not

1080
00:48:43,100 --> 00:48:45,900
really a confession.
So this person just thinks that

1081
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,100
already sticking by this.
It doesn't it doesn't think this

1082
00:48:48,100 --> 00:48:52,000
is a bad thing but more of a way
forward in life, I used to teach

1083
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:55,000
a class of thirty six children.
That's in its own.

1084
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,000
That's crazy one.
Day.

1085
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:58,700
They'd all one a mini packet of
harrybo.

1086
00:48:58,900 --> 00:49:00,500
Can't remember, why?
But it's just something I did

1087
00:49:00,500 --> 00:49:02,800
every now and then to entice
them into working hard.

1088
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,500
They were so desperate to eat
them in class that we decided to

1089
00:49:06,500 --> 00:49:10,800
strike a deal, the agreed
payment to open them now and eat

1090
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,400
them from each of them was to
sacrifice.

1091
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:17,700
One harrybo each to me, they
weren't bright enough to realize

1092
00:49:17,700 --> 00:49:20,700
that I basically end up with a
full sized bag back and was

1093
00:49:20,700 --> 00:49:23,800
loving life.
Happy class Happy Teacher.

1094
00:49:24,900 --> 00:49:27,200
That's clever.
And also way more You're getting

1095
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,400
way more a little, how did you
get the mini bag?

1096
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,100
Like honest that 8 is like tell
ya 10 8 10.

1097
00:49:32,100 --> 00:49:33,700
Yeah.
There's not many absolutely 6

1098
00:49:33,700 --> 00:49:35,800
back and then that way
everyone's happy you know

1099
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,500
they're happy.
I call that harrybo socialism.

1100
00:49:38,500 --> 00:49:41,900
You know, everyone paid to say
this like there's teachers yeah,

1101
00:49:41,900 --> 00:49:46,300
just just rooting socialist into
that but where the 1% still

1102
00:49:46,300 --> 00:49:48,800
managed to fry from the teachers
their job of a horde of them.

1103
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:52,900
That's pretty far as a really
good one.

1104
00:49:54,100 --> 00:49:57,100
Another one is, well here this
one's slightly okay longer and

1105
00:49:57,100 --> 00:49:59,100
I'll save this for stories.
Okay, so we're going to have

1106
00:49:59,100 --> 00:50:02,900
stories guys because it's less
of a confession more of just a

1107
00:50:02,900 --> 00:50:04,800
crazy thing that happened.
So do you have any confessions

1108
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,100
from what?
Yeah, I can say I've I've had a

1109
00:50:07,100 --> 00:50:11,100
confession in this week, which I
read really genuinely made me

1110
00:50:11,107 --> 00:50:13,000
chuckle.
Okay, so you haven't heard this.

1111
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:14,200
I obviously, I've said it for
you.

1112
00:50:14,700 --> 00:50:16,200
I'm going to read out to you
exactly how its ratings.

1113
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:17,500
I like the ones that were
written, guys.

1114
00:50:17,500 --> 00:50:19,800
By the way, the Dolphins one, we
had a few episodes back was

1115
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:23,400
really hilariously written.
So yeah, please No.

1116
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,100
Please do.
Take the effort to do that.

1117
00:50:25,300 --> 00:50:29,000
You can be one of our favorite
customers Wreck-It, Ralph

1118
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:33,500
approves.
I love all my classes.

1119
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,100
I just need to say that before
you read on and think I'm Hollow

1120
00:50:36,100 --> 00:50:39,100
ghost, is a great start.
What are they say to stop a

1121
00:50:39,100 --> 00:50:41,500
story?
Right?

1122
00:50:42,100 --> 00:50:44,300
Children, love to draw you
stuff.

1123
00:50:45,100 --> 00:50:46,700
Okay, any teacher listening
right now is thinking?

1124
00:50:46,700 --> 00:50:50,500
Yes, Christ.
They do anything, it could be a

1125
00:50:50,500 --> 00:50:53,000
15 second drawing of you
compare.

1126
00:50:53,300 --> 00:50:58,100
Lately, terrible artistic
prowess but you always act

1127
00:50:58,100 --> 00:51:01,300
unbelievably grateful and
impressed of what they produce.

1128
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:03,600
That's what we did this, which
is what we did up on the wall,

1129
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:04,900
right?
It's going right there.

1130
00:51:04,900 --> 00:51:07,700
Exactly?
Yeah, it goes somewhere and once

1131
00:51:07,700 --> 00:51:10,500
you break that seal of being
really impressed at this

1132
00:51:10,500 --> 00:51:14,400
terrible art, they won't stop
one year.

1133
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:18,700
I was so desensitized due to the
10 pieces of art, aren't in

1134
00:51:18,700 --> 00:51:22,300
quotation marks.
I'd received that week that that

1135
00:51:22,300 --> 00:51:25,800
it usually when in the Bin
instead of home to my art wall,

1136
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:31,700
as I told them, however, I
slipped up once, just once I use

1137
00:51:31,700 --> 00:51:34,700
the bin in my classroom, which I
assumed was still yet to be

1138
00:51:34,700 --> 00:51:40,900
cleared by the clue.
How wrong I was fast forward to

1139
00:51:40,900 --> 00:51:43,700
the morning and a child is
questioning as to why they're

1140
00:51:43,700 --> 00:51:48,800
beautiful painting of me, as a
Pokemon was in the bin, Fold It

1141
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:53,600
Up in the bin, I had to think
fast and I've course, On the

1142
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,000
cleaners got away with it, this
time.

1143
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:59,100
Like that's so true.
I've had this before, right?

1144
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,900
I've got a teacher who I kind of
share a doorway, right?

1145
00:52:01,900 --> 00:52:03,800
The other side of my door, it's
a weird layout.

1146
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:07,000
The other side of my doors,
another classroom and multiple

1147
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,000
times.
She's come in and said oh can I

1148
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,500
just use your bin?
And I first read about these

1149
00:52:11,500 --> 00:52:12,300
were being.
Yeah.

1150
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:14,200
But my head is like they have
your own bin.

1151
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,300
Like of course you can I come
in?

1152
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:17,500
So I just don't want to see
that.

1153
00:52:17,508 --> 00:52:21,400
I'm throwing away their work and
honestly came in with, like, you

1154
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:24,900
do like big A3, paper bill, It
doesn't go in the book but she

1155
00:52:24,900 --> 00:52:26,100
was at how I don't want ya, see
it.

1156
00:52:26,100 --> 00:52:28,600
So this person clearly have more
foresight than the film.

1157
00:52:29,300 --> 00:52:31,300
You might say some pictures of
it or something but you're not

1158
00:52:31,300 --> 00:52:33,500
keeping the work.
Yeah, we've done it.

1159
00:52:33,500 --> 00:52:37,000
Like I just know people listen
to this thinking I've actually

1160
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:38,500
done that and it sounds really
horrible.

1161
00:52:38,500 --> 00:52:39,800
It sounds really mean but it's
not.

1162
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:41,900
It's just you.
Do you get a bit desensitized to

1163
00:52:41,900 --> 00:52:43,900
it because they see that you
like something they've done.

1164
00:52:43,900 --> 00:52:45,700
So they're like cool.
I can do that in free, checkups

1165
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,100
your squiggle on, give it to you
and you're like, oh yeah, thank

1166
00:52:49,100 --> 00:52:50,400
you.
It does build up.

1167
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:53,100
And you know as lovely as is
just the, the lovely bit is the

1168
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,500
See you accepting it.
So obviously afterwards, I

1169
00:52:56,500 --> 00:53:00,200
really want higher level that go
into being, they get folded up

1170
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,600
and they go in the bin, have you
ever had something more special

1171
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:05,100
things, work a, I'll keep, but
there's little ones, you know,

1172
00:53:05,100 --> 00:53:06,900
have you ever had it before?
Where they'll come up to you,

1173
00:53:06,908 --> 00:53:09,400
but picture, right?
And, and that you think they're

1174
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:11,300
just showing you it right there
was like, look at this?

1175
00:53:11,500 --> 00:53:12,000
Yeah.
Right.

1176
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,400
And then your old lovely and
then it kind of just just stay

1177
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,900
there staring.
Like I like your rights.

1178
00:53:16,900 --> 00:53:19,100
Like yeah.
Right.

1179
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:20,800
Oh, is that for me?
Yeah.

1180
00:53:21,500 --> 00:53:22,500
All right.
I don't think.

1181
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,000
It's literally just their name
right there.

1182
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,000
Just written the name in that
pink pen.

1183
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:29,300
Is that horse.
Lovely.

1184
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:31,300
Thank you.
And then literally just stay

1185
00:53:31,308 --> 00:53:36,700
where you going to put it on my
desk on my desk that you put it

1186
00:53:36,700 --> 00:53:38,700
here.
Forget about it tomorrow.

1187
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,500
It'll be gone it all when
they're the most brutal one is

1188
00:53:42,500 --> 00:53:46,100
when they ask you to name it.
Oh what is it what have I draw

1189
00:53:46,100 --> 00:53:48,500
with the kids?
They want the gratification of

1190
00:53:48,500 --> 00:53:51,300
you telling them what they've
drawn but you don't know what it

1191
00:53:51,300 --> 00:53:53,100
is.
Oh is that so you get is that

1192
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:56,500
I'm thinking that's a lovely
animal.

1193
00:53:56,500 --> 00:53:58,400
No.
Oh, okay.

1194
00:53:58,500 --> 00:54:01,200
No, it's not even handle crazy.
I'm glad I didn't say cat.

1195
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:06,400
That's that's my mum.
Okay, that's pretty.

1196
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:10,300
And she would love that go home
to her, but you go show her that

1197
00:54:10,300 --> 00:54:12,600
if you ever you ever seen as
well.

1198
00:54:12,900 --> 00:54:15,700
This is a common thing.
I see quite a lot, when kids

1199
00:54:15,700 --> 00:54:17,600
make cards just like last minute
they find out.

1200
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,700
Maybe it's and adults birthday,
or like another child's birthday

1201
00:54:20,700 --> 00:54:22,800
in this in the class.
And they always want you to

1202
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:23,500
sign.
It.

1203
00:54:23,500 --> 00:54:25,100
That's just a thing.
For some reason, it can you sign

1204
00:54:25,100 --> 00:54:26,500
the cup?
Can you sign the card and then

1205
00:54:26,508 --> 00:54:30,500
you owe and it's always, always
a piece of white, A4 paper

1206
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:32,600
folded, terribly in half, not
properly.

1207
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,200
They've written in like a pink
Li light or something.

1208
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,100
Happy birthday on the front and
then they just go around the

1209
00:54:37,107 --> 00:54:39,200
class and got some people to
just write their name in it.

1210
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,100
And like the ultimate win is how
many adults can we get to sign

1211
00:54:42,100 --> 00:54:43,400
this card there?
Another way around a bit like

1212
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:46,000
can you sign the card for?
So and so can you sign a car?

1213
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,900
And the best thing is it's just
have left in their trade end of

1214
00:54:48,900 --> 00:54:49,900
the day.
It's just hanging out there and

1215
00:54:49,908 --> 00:54:52,800
taking it home.
Yeah, everyone's here.

1216
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:55,800
Oh, man, this is Sophie.
This may be lost so much, get

1217
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:59,700
hardened to it now because
happened, but in my first year

1218
00:54:59,700 --> 00:55:03,200
of teaching, I really put like a
part and thought into these

1219
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,500
cards Christmas cards, but I got
the kids.

1220
00:55:05,500 --> 00:55:07,700
Not exactly what I call my kids
at Christmas cards, memory,

1221
00:55:07,700 --> 00:55:09,000
nice.
Write them all a little message

1222
00:55:09,300 --> 00:55:13,200
and handed them all out.
As you do, most kids over there

1223
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:14,400
and then and then we sort of
moved on.

1224
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:18,400
I forgot about it at the end of
the Academic Year so like six

1225
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,900
months, seven months later.
We were just doing it at Ray

1226
00:55:21,900 --> 00:55:23,900
thinks that those little trays
under the desks.

1227
00:55:24,100 --> 00:55:27,400
And that's looking for this one
boys desk, helping him.

1228
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:30,500
Do you want to clean it?
He's really grumpy, and I just

1229
00:55:30,500 --> 00:55:32,500
pulled out my completely
unopened.

1230
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:36,400
Sealed up Christmas card from
the depth of his tray because he

1231
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,800
just couldn't have cared less
about this car that I was like,

1232
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:41,900
oh, they'll see so much
sentiment in this.

1233
00:55:42,300 --> 00:55:44,900
No, they didn't need any can get
kind of, not one bit.

1234
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:48,200
I love how like each year that
goes by less and less of those

1235
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:50,400
sentimental things happen
because you just realized that

1236
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:52,700
you could be lovely and
sentimental and nice do them.

1237
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,600
Don't have to spend hours and
hours, creating a personalized

1238
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:57,900
bracelet for them to wear once
and before it breaks and never

1239
00:55:57,900 --> 00:56:00,200
have again.
That's so true.

1240
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,500
Isn't it?
That the time in to the sort of

1241
00:56:02,500 --> 00:56:06,000
send you an out, you work out
that there's you again, it wrong

1242
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:07,300
before.
How many children have that

1243
00:56:07,300 --> 00:56:08,700
gift?
I made in the first year where I

1244
00:56:08,700 --> 00:56:10,800
literally, I can't believe I
did.

1245
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:14,000
I went to one of the Hobby Lobby
craft and I bought those tiny

1246
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:17,000
white beads with letters on and
every single child I made them.

1247
00:56:17,008 --> 00:56:19,300
This kind of brace that thing
with their name on, right?

1248
00:56:19,900 --> 00:56:22,400
I spit was where I realized I
could make you wasted my time.

1249
00:56:22,700 --> 00:56:24,500
Let's go.
When we were walking out on the

1250
00:56:24,500 --> 00:56:30,900
last three kids and Brokenness
that all the beat every other

1251
00:56:30,900 --> 00:56:36,100
floor and come.
Oh, it's gone.

1252
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:40,200
And I cared more than they did
because I spent hours doing

1253
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:43,200
yeah.
Oh God!

1254
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:45,500
That's brilliant, guys.
If you makes it sound really

1255
00:56:45,500 --> 00:56:47,900
hard less than that a little bit
but you know, what can you say

1256
00:56:47,900 --> 00:56:50,300
after this long?
If you guys have any other

1257
00:56:50,300 --> 00:56:53,000
confessions, we I love that we
started this because the

1258
00:56:53,100 --> 00:56:57,400
Sessions, they are brilliant.
Do let us know, specifically it

1259
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,500
out on our Instagram.
So do do find us or email us at

1260
00:57:00,500 --> 00:57:02,100
the email.
You know what it is?

1261
00:57:02,500 --> 00:57:04,600
Let's move on.
Hayden two stories from the

1262
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:08,900
classroom.
Well I'm going to start this

1263
00:57:08,900 --> 00:57:11,200
time.
Is that accursed ego because I,

1264
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,300
you know, I'm just latching on
to what happened in the last

1265
00:57:13,300 --> 00:57:16,600
episode where apparently people
find it really funny to hear how

1266
00:57:16,607 --> 00:57:20,200
much of a moron I am.
Honestly, I'm so glad more

1267
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:23,100
people are noticing because I
feel like I've had a front-row

1268
00:57:23,100 --> 00:57:25,800
seat to this for years now.
And I was thinking this show,

1269
00:57:25,900 --> 00:57:27,900
you know, it needs to be
commissioned by someone and in

1270
00:57:27,900 --> 00:57:31,300
this podcast, can be the place
because you suck, honestly,

1271
00:57:31,300 --> 00:57:34,300
you're just like a walking me,
you're just a joke, my legs and

1272
00:57:34,300 --> 00:57:41,700
I know nicest way possible.
Crying.

1273
00:57:41,700 --> 00:57:46,900
Now, on when I say joke on legs,
I mean you bring joy and

1274
00:57:46,900 --> 00:57:48,700
laughter and happiness.
Oh yeah.

1275
00:57:48,700 --> 00:57:50,500
Alright, Wreck-It Ralph, that's
enough.

1276
00:57:52,100 --> 00:57:53,000
Anyway.
Yeah.

1277
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:55,800
So people love the, the
understory more than I thought

1278
00:57:55,800 --> 00:58:00,000
they were like, I was very
honored and so I've got another

1279
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:01,000
one.
It's, you know, it's not as good

1280
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,400
as under was just it's just our
way to Hype up.

1281
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:04,600
The cost is funded in before you
start.

1282
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:06,900
It's not as good.
Yeah, it's terrible.

1283
00:58:06,900 --> 00:58:09,600
Stop this internet often.
So now so this is just another

1284
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:10,700
one of me being a bit of an
idiot.

1285
00:58:10,700 --> 00:58:12,000
I've The story out was that, she
okay.

1286
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:15,500
So one day after school, again,
maybe two years into teaching,

1287
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:18,400
you know, I was there, it was
like, 6 p.m. it was really late.

1288
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:22,600
I was dying to go home, but we
were doing geography the next

1289
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:24,800
day.
And I really wanted to make it

1290
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:26,700
not one of those geography
lessons where they just stare at

1291
00:58:26,700 --> 00:58:28,000
the screen.
You show them pictures of apps

1292
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:29,800
and things.
I want to get the maps out.

1293
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,000
And I was looking for all the
resources, cupboard, and I found

1294
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:35,200
this tray of maps and I to know
I can't even remember what's on

1295
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:36,600
these cards.
I think it was like little

1296
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:38,900
continent cards or something,
but they were like a like a

1297
00:58:38,900 --> 00:58:42,100
playing cards except they were.
Hundreds of right hundred

1298
00:58:42,100 --> 00:58:46,200
hundreds but they were supposed
to be elastic band it into like

1299
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:49,200
little groups and they all just
messed up as I want to just put

1300
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:51,900
them back in there one day and
not sorted them out.

1301
00:58:52,100 --> 00:58:54,500
So I had them out on a table and
I was in another teacher's

1302
00:58:54,500 --> 00:58:55,800
classroom.
Think we were just chatting at

1303
00:58:55,800 --> 00:59:00,700
the end of the day, and I spent
honestly like an hour, sorting

1304
00:59:00,700 --> 00:59:02,700
them out.
And our sorting this tray out,

1305
00:59:02,700 --> 00:59:05,300
just chatting away, finding all
the cards matching them up.

1306
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:07,300
I didn't have any elastic bands.
I was just thinking it'll be

1307
00:59:07,300 --> 00:59:08,700
fine because I've put them in
piles.

1308
00:59:08,700 --> 00:59:10,800
So I know where they are.
Put them in this.

1309
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:15,000
I with the maps next to them Syd
you're gone 6 p.m. now I'm

1310
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:16,900
walking back to my classroom.
One of the last people in

1311
00:59:16,900 --> 00:59:20,700
school, hard floor.
The cleaners are already cleaned

1312
00:59:20,700 --> 00:59:22,800
it, right?
I didn't look at the sign

1313
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:25,000
because it's me, obviously I
just didn't think that they

1314
00:59:25,008 --> 00:59:27,400
were.
I've done that and I just felt I

1315
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:31,000
slip classic like banana slip.
Like my legs went up, and I

1316
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:34,200
slammed the floor like honest.
I think I cracked my elbow and I

1317
00:59:34,207 --> 00:59:39,200
did it hurts so much but I was
holding this tray of stuff and

1318
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:42,100
it just like, comically just
Went everywhere.

1319
00:59:42,100 --> 00:59:45,000
Like absolutely everywhere, the
whole our been wasted because

1320
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:48,100
all of these cards were just
scattered across the floor.

1321
00:59:48,100 --> 00:59:51,700
And I got so angry and I just
like, basically kicked it all to

1322
00:59:51,707 --> 00:59:54,500
the side shuffle.
It I just went home and do it

1323
00:59:54,500 --> 00:59:57,100
and even do it the next day, I
didn't have time to sort out

1324
00:59:57,100 --> 01:00:01,200
again, did the boring this and
instead I just I was so

1325
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:04,000
frustrated.
You turn it up with the front

1326
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:05,100
door.
The front of the cars in a

1327
01:00:05,100 --> 01:00:08,800
sling, the next day and because
it's less is so boring.

1328
01:00:08,900 --> 01:00:12,200
You're like, I know, I know,
Yeah.

1329
01:00:12,500 --> 01:00:15,200
So they guys just another vision
of me being a complete idiot.

1330
01:00:15,700 --> 01:00:19,700
Okay, so I've got one here.
Once I forgot to tell my student

1331
01:00:19,700 --> 01:00:21,700
that you had to be out of school
by 6:00 p.m.

1332
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:26,200
So when the bell goes in this
story at six, you literally have

1333
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:27,800
five minutes to get yourself out
the building.

1334
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:29,700
So, this Bell isn't like a
warning.

1335
01:00:29,700 --> 01:00:33,000
It's the schools closing now
leave, but everyone knew that

1336
01:00:33,500 --> 01:00:35,000
obviously apart from the
student.

1337
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:40,800
Well, one day, I went all Rogue
and I actually left by 4:30 that

1338
01:00:40,900 --> 01:00:43,700
The joys of having a student
because as you know sometimes

1339
01:00:43,700 --> 01:00:45,200
you just units taught by few
lessons.

1340
01:00:45,300 --> 01:00:46,300
They're going to Mark the
lesson.

1341
01:00:46,300 --> 01:00:48,600
You can you can head off early
happy days.

1342
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:52,100
I said goodbye to the cleaner on
my way out of the building and

1343
01:00:52,100 --> 01:00:55,800
thought nothing more of it q.
A panicked call from my student

1344
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:59,800
at about 6:30.
She was locked in the building

1345
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:03,500
and had set the alarm so she
couldn't break out the school.

1346
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:07,300
The cleaner hadn't realized I'd
had a student and had locked up

1347
01:01:07,300 --> 01:01:10,000
knowing that I'd left so didn't
come and check my classroom.

1348
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:13,500
I was Obviously, the last one
left on a Friday night, usually,

1349
01:01:14,100 --> 01:01:17,500
I had to drive back to school.
Thankfully, I was relatively

1350
01:01:17,500 --> 01:01:21,100
local, a friend's house and had
to talk us through how to get

1351
01:01:21,100 --> 01:01:24,500
out of the building and also
then help us climb over the

1352
01:01:24,500 --> 01:01:28,100
gates to escape my God.
Needless to say, but I never

1353
01:01:28,100 --> 01:01:31,100
forgot to tell a student teacher
about the 6:00 p.m. curfew

1354
01:01:31,100 --> 01:01:33,700
again.
Can I just say oh that's so what

1355
01:01:33,700 --> 01:01:36,400
a metaphor at the minute for you
know for the idea of teaching us

1356
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:38,400
stuff climbing over the fence
get me out of here.

1357
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:43,000
I'm climbing.
I never forgot to tell a student

1358
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:46,900
teacher that even though the
shop finishes at 4:30, you'll

1359
01:01:46,900 --> 01:01:49,900
still be there at 6:30 needing
to do more and you need to leave

1360
01:01:49,900 --> 01:01:52,600
anyway.
What the idea of a student

1361
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:54,500
teacher felony to be there at
6:30 as well.

1362
01:01:54,500 --> 01:01:57,200
I was like, what did?
Yeah, must be nice.

1363
01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:00,500
Imagine how terrified you too.
Because like I've heard of I

1364
01:02:00,508 --> 01:02:02,600
actually heard of another member
of Staff, but way more

1365
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:05,000
experience, just being locked in
their office because they didn't

1366
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,000
realize the school have been
locked up and they clean as

1367
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,300
hadn't checked and it, but they
weren't too worried about it.

1368
01:02:09,300 --> 01:02:10,800
There are just give me a ring a
bit of lat.

1369
01:02:10,900 --> 01:02:13,800
Alton, he's comin back out but
it is student-teacher.

1370
01:02:13,900 --> 01:02:15,800
You try to make a good
impression you'd be.

1371
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:18,700
I would I would have been mad.
I just would have.

1372
01:02:18,700 --> 01:02:21,100
Also heard this story em about a
relative experienced teacher got

1373
01:02:21,100 --> 01:02:23,000
locked in the toilet.
Once I was there sir.

1374
01:02:24,300 --> 01:02:27,100
Yeah I remember that happening.
I think him be there.

1375
01:02:27,100 --> 01:02:28,800
Actually laughing and fit on
that personal.

1376
01:02:28,900 --> 01:02:32,000
Oh it was okay.
So you've got story for us.

1377
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:33,800
Hey, yeah.
I've got another one.

1378
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:37,800
Okay, so this this is actually a
story for Mika.

1379
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,600
This is not written in, it's
just something I remembered and

1380
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:45,400
it It was it's about a boy that
was in my class many, many years

1381
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:47,900
ago.
He was so charismatic this game,

1382
01:02:48,100 --> 01:02:50,300
like genuinely it.
Still brings me joy to think of

1383
01:02:50,308 --> 01:02:52,700
this this kid, because he was
just had so much life, and

1384
01:02:52,700 --> 01:02:54,200
brought so much joy in the
classroom, right?

1385
01:02:55,300 --> 01:03:00,400
But anyway, we once went on a
school trip and it was an

1386
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:02,600
overnight school trip.
Just one night away, the classic

1387
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:05,300
residential, but it'll bit
younger normally do in your six.

1388
01:03:05,300 --> 01:03:07,800
We were doing it in your 40.
It's quite common to all do that

1389
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:09,500
as like almost like a warm-up
for the week-long.

1390
01:03:09,500 --> 01:03:12,000
One later.
Yeah, I know I heard it before

1391
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:15,200
but this is what this, what we
do this school and our forecast

1392
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:18,200
Cohen had a bit younger, but
they, as expected a lot more

1393
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:19,400
tears and things like that for
children.

1394
01:03:19,900 --> 01:03:22,200
And we have like a lights out
there all in one Corridor

1395
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:23,300
basing.
All these rooms next to each

1396
01:03:23,300 --> 01:03:25,200
other in one big Corridor.
And I'm kind of at the end of

1397
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:27,000
it, we Patrol for a while
because you know what they're

1398
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,100
like, if you've been on a
residential before, they want to

1399
01:03:29,107 --> 01:03:31,100
stay up as late as they can and
mess around their mates, of

1400
01:03:31,100 --> 01:03:33,400
course, they do how often they
get to get this, right?

1401
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:34,600
So I never feel that bad about
it.

1402
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:36,800
I'm just like Let Him Live it
down a bit they'll all fall

1403
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:40,000
asleep, naturally eventually.
So I'm going through the rooms,

1404
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:41,700
most of the I've got there.
Door, start the open because

1405
01:03:41,700 --> 01:03:43,100
they didn't like the idea of
having it closed.

1406
01:03:43,100 --> 01:03:45,100
I was like, that's fine because
it said, I completely locked

1407
01:03:45,100 --> 01:03:49,300
building anyway and it's just us
in it and I'd like a soccer the

1408
01:03:49,300 --> 01:03:51,200
door just to keep it.
Look just a crap of light in,

1409
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:52,900
you know, it's a little.
So I'm going through, I'm

1410
01:03:52,900 --> 01:03:54,900
listening.
How can my head through some of

1411
01:03:54,900 --> 01:03:56,700
them?
Just making sure thinking.

1412
01:03:56,700 --> 01:03:58,400
Yeah, there are asleep noses at
11:30.

1413
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:00,400
Now, to midnight, maybe they've
been asleep for qualitative.

1414
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:02,400
They've had, they've had their
kind of, through their, their

1415
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:04,600
calm down from being so excited.
Oh yeah, because they would have

1416
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:07,200
gone to bed at, like 9:00.
So they've had their couple of

1417
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:11,900
hours of being maniacs.
And I'm walking through Yep.

1418
01:04:11,900 --> 01:04:15,100
Another Quiet One open that one.
This is Stephens a little

1419
01:04:15,100 --> 01:04:16,200
question.
Where someone's like this

1420
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:17,200
scared?
It was it, you'll be right.

1421
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:18,100
I'll be okay.
Be right, mate.

1422
01:04:18,100 --> 01:04:21,100
Your, I just get some sleep.
I go to the next room and this,

1423
01:04:21,100 --> 01:04:24,900
this that this boy is he right?
Open the door lights all on

1424
01:04:25,100 --> 01:04:27,700
every single child in bed.
Except for him I guess we do.

1425
01:04:27,700 --> 01:04:35,600
Topless pull-ups, looks me just
goes, I'm a student at 11:30.

1426
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:37,700
The other kids are like upset
with him because they're trying

1427
01:04:37,700 --> 01:04:39,700
to sleep.
Now they've had their fun and

1428
01:04:39,700 --> 01:04:41,700
he's doing pull-ups.
Oops, didn't even know I was

1429
01:04:41,700 --> 01:04:43,500
coming.
He was doing that because he

1430
01:04:43,508 --> 01:04:48,400
wants to do it.
I just made it and I obviously

1431
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:52,300
had to tell him to stop by in my
head I was laughing so much at

1432
01:04:52,300 --> 01:04:54,000
this and I couldn't eat a damn
good idea.

1433
01:04:54,100 --> 01:04:56,800
How many children rights mind
knowing they've been caught

1434
01:04:57,300 --> 01:04:59,300
doing that would kind of like
jump into bed and like, go

1435
01:04:59,300 --> 01:05:00,900
pretend.
Yeah.

1436
01:05:00,900 --> 01:05:05,900
Yeah, he was smug.
He knew damn, well that I find

1437
01:05:05,900 --> 01:05:09,300
it funny, you know it, he all
these extra we're in one basket

1438
01:05:09,300 --> 01:05:12,000
there, he knew there's no way
I'd be able Not in, use this

1439
01:05:12,500 --> 01:05:15,100
hour, he got away and he was
right, it's funny.

1440
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:17,900
Hey, it was right, it's the same
kid, by the way, I also talked

1441
01:05:17,900 --> 01:05:20,700
about him, but just because he's
a legend and I'm just thinking

1442
01:05:20,700 --> 01:05:23,800
about him.
Now this same kid was also he is

1443
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:26,100
confident as you can probably
tell from that story, right?

1444
01:05:26,500 --> 01:05:30,100
And when we used to leave the
classroom we'd have to just

1445
01:05:30,100 --> 01:05:32,500
basically walk through that the
playground right of the school

1446
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:34,800
and classic playground, there's
like benches, you know there's

1447
01:05:34,900 --> 01:05:37,500
you know standard bench has just
picked me benches, two benches

1448
01:05:37,500 --> 01:05:39,600
on one side and a big table in
the middle, all connected.

1449
01:05:39,900 --> 01:05:43,400
And we We'd walk past them and
he'd always always and I tell

1450
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:46,600
him not to every single time he
jumped up onto the bench bit

1451
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:49,100
where you sit kind of run across
it and jump off the other end.

1452
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:51,900
It's fun, you know, there's a
year for kid is fun.

1453
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:53,700
I'm not that annoyed about it.
I just want him to make me look

1454
01:05:53,700 --> 01:05:54,900
like an idiot in front of all
the parents.

1455
01:05:54,900 --> 01:05:58,000
Yeah.
Or and himself exactly that.

1456
01:05:58,000 --> 01:05:59,700
And that's obviously the one I
went with Isis.

1457
01:05:59,700 --> 01:06:00,800
I did that.
You can hurt yourself.

1458
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:02,700
You know, if you trip off that
you're going to fall off a

1459
01:06:02,700 --> 01:06:05,000
higher height, you don't hurt
yourself, classic teacher talk,

1460
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:07,500
no kit, kids don't care, don't
rock in your chair, so I don't

1461
01:06:07,500 --> 01:06:08,700
care.
You might fall off and break

1462
01:06:08,700 --> 01:06:09,400
your neck.
No, no.

1463
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:12,000
I won't, they'll do it anyway.
You know, so he didn't listen to

1464
01:06:12,008 --> 01:06:16,100
me one day, it's raining.
Oh, you see what's coming here?

1465
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:18,600
It's raining.
He knows he's not supposed to

1466
01:06:18,607 --> 01:06:19,800
do.
I've told him a million times,

1467
01:06:20,100 --> 01:06:23,500
you ran up to the bench but as
he went to jump onto it, he

1468
01:06:23,500 --> 01:06:25,400
slipped.
His leg went out front of him

1469
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:30,300
and he broke his nose on the
actual bench but he literally

1470
01:06:30,300 --> 01:06:32,300
broke his nose.
Like let's go to hospital

1471
01:06:32,300 --> 01:06:33,400
afterwards.
He broke his nose.

1472
01:06:34,900 --> 01:06:37,100
And and this is this is going to
sound so horrible.

1473
01:06:37,100 --> 01:06:39,900
But part of me was like that was
a lesson that you learned that

1474
01:06:39,900 --> 01:06:42,100
lesson the hard way.
Well you know obviously I

1475
01:06:42,107 --> 01:06:45,100
checked the right foot so he
stopped right there was a

1476
01:06:45,107 --> 01:06:47,300
limited again.
No, he's the he's the best bit

1477
01:06:47,700 --> 01:06:49,000
ice.
I'm not even joking.

1478
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:52,000
Not exaggerating, right?
He was in the next day or maybe

1479
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:53,700
the day after you might have one
that actually had one date

1480
01:06:53,700 --> 01:06:55,900
husband.
He was in the first days back, I

1481
01:06:55,900 --> 01:06:58,800
swear to God, he did it again
immediately, and I turn around,

1482
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:01,800
I gave him that look of, like,
he knew are saying, are you

1483
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:04,300
joking?
After what's your serial?

1484
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:07,400
Really doing that again.
Fearless, Fearless probably went

1485
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:11,500
home to pull ups at night, most
of his bed, you know, just just

1486
01:07:11,500 --> 01:07:13,800
working out his nose.
Making sure I'll be fine.

1487
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:16,400
I'ma show that bench.
She's doing parkour across it.

1488
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:19,600
The next idea you had that
thought when it happened like

1489
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:22,200
horrible, I'm making sure he's
fine, but, you know, at least

1490
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:24,700
he's never going to do it again.
At least he worked at least as a

1491
01:07:24,700 --> 01:07:25,700
look.
No.

1492
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:27,200
Yeah.
I was like, he's not seriously

1493
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:29,700
harmed and, you know, he's that
kind of he's confident, he's

1494
01:07:29,700 --> 01:07:31,500
cocky.
Sometimes people just need to

1495
01:07:31,500 --> 01:07:33,000
learn the in their own mistakes.
I was like, yeah.

1496
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:34,200
You know, what's a good life
lesson for him?

1497
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:36,900
You know, he's not he's not
severely injured, good life

1498
01:07:36,900 --> 01:07:38,900
lesson, they won't do that.
Immediately doesn't doesn't

1499
01:07:38,900 --> 01:07:42,900
care, right?
Another bump episode.

1500
01:07:42,900 --> 01:07:45,300
I actually really enjoyed these
longer form ones because we can

1501
01:07:45,300 --> 01:07:47,400
just sit and talk see where the
conversation goes and you guys

1502
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:49,900
seem to be enjoying it.
So again, let us know.

1503
01:07:49,900 --> 01:07:52,300
I mean, we've recorded a lot.
So, let's see what this comes

1504
01:07:52,300 --> 01:07:55,400
out as Hayden.
Anything else before we finish?

1505
01:07:55,900 --> 01:07:58,800
Oh actually, this might be the
time then if this is a too long

1506
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:01,500
episode, but we could finally
tell us critics or have a lot of

1507
01:08:01,508 --> 01:08:03,000
messages hating your cutout,
right?

1508
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:05,400
You can't well, finish it there.
Then how can I just finish it

1509
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:06,900
there so I don't know.
I don't know, Hayden's there
