Ep 158: Elf on the Shelf Nightmare, Mythical Creature TAs & Gross Classroom Stories!

1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,120
Hello everyone, welcome back to
another episode of Teach the

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:03,160
Repeat.
My name is Dylan.

3
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:04,880
And my name is Hayden.
And this week, yeah, it's

4
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:06,600
Monday, but guess what?
We're swapping the order.

5
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,920
We're going to go for the.
Q&A what today?

6
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,320
Do you know why?
Tell me.

7
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,520
Because we've been recording it
first this whole time and having

8
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,440
to pretend that there was no SO
before anyway, because we batch

9
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,240
record.
Yeah, both episodes at once.

10
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,960
But the other thing is it's it's
more sharp, it's more quick and

11
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,920
it gives you more time then
because we tend to do something

12
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,560
more of a deep dive on a Monday,
it gives you more time to

13
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,560
actually listen to that then
yeah, if we just released that

14
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:29,920
on the Wednesday.
So you're still getting you 2.

15
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,600
Episodes a week, don't you
worry, don't you panic.

16
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,320
Makes a lot of sense.
One change at a time though,

17
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:35,520
right?
Because we we tried changing the

18
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,080
intro that one time and that
didn't go down well with you.

19
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,200
We're not changing the intro.
Ever.

20
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,840
But you're OK with it.
This change is all right.

21
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,200
This change is all right because
I thought of it.

22
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,040
Yeah, all right.
OK, yeah, my change, but which

23
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,600
means I got my head around.
It and by you thought of it what

24
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,840
it means is someone suggested
and our WhatsApp community first

25
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,000
and Dylan thought it was his
idea this.

26
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,520
Is hilarious because if you go
back, I literally suggested that

27
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,640
did you yes go back and find it
and you can back me up If you're

28
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,200
in the WhatsApp community, which
you can join down below get

29
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,640
involved in all of the chit
chat.

30
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,840
There's a great group of people.
It's a good laugh.

31
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,880
Why not join down below?
It's free and guess what they

32
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,640
can put their submissions in to
the form get priority access.

33
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,720
We actually have one from
Instagram as well today.

34
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,960
Without further ado, though,
Hayden, go on.

35
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,760
Well, we had a very fantastic
range of questions.

36
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:19,680
Very fantastic.
Who is?

37
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,640
Who is from our WhatsApp
community and he's submitted a

38
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,520
lot of questions so I've got a
few from Tom today I'll be a bit

39
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,040
running joke and.
I sprinkle them in, aren't we?

40
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,200
Yeah.
Sprinkle them in, he's got some

41
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:27,640
quite good ones.
Do you tend to say something

42
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,000
it's a running joke before you
do it.

43
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,400
Is that is that?
I like to, I like to ruin the

44
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,360
joke by saying it's running
joke.

45
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,840
Fair enough.
So cheers, Tom, keep it up.

46
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,280
Here's your first question.
What's the grossest thing that's

47
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,280
ever happened to you in class?
I once had a class of year one

48
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,720
children and everyone was
constantly having colds and

49
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:43,840
illnesses.
Understandable.

50
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,360
It turns out that they all
thought the box of tissues were

51
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,280
reusable and kept stuffing them
back into the box.

52
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,240
I also once found a box of
teeth.

53
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,880
Must have been about 30 of them.
Apparently a previous teacher

54
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,520
would collect them for science
experiments about tooth decay

55
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,920
and had lost them all.
I don't know how to.

56
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,760
We can't talk.
That's the end of the.

57
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,520
Question.
There's nothing that's happened

58
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:09,720
to me that's more gross than
that.

59
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,160
How eerie would it be to just be
like rumbling, rumbling through

60
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,200
your cupboard trying to find
something and just a box of

61
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,640
teeth?
Yeah, that's like something out

62
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:17,200
of a horror.
Film.

63
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,280
I think I'd be more scared than
anything.

64
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,440
I mean, like, am I?
Is this a setup?

65
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,920
Yeah, like it's like a trophy of
a serial, like 1-2, three.

66
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,040
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I kind of like a great

67
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,160
way of doing a science
experiment, getting real teeth,

68
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,680
it's true.
And whacking them in like a Coke

69
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:32,760
for a week and see what happens
to.

70
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:33,560
Them.
Not sure about the science

71
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,040
experiment where we we use
tissues though.

72
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,720
That's the one that's not that
hit me and when I was thinking

73
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,080
about what the grossest thing
happened to me, it's all about

74
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,760
snot because it just is.
It's insane.

75
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,800
Like you just get kids who just
have it on their nose

76
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,880
constantly.
And me personally, my friends

77
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,960
found this out.
You I I like, I gag.

78
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,000
Yeah, you hate snot, don't you?
You're like super super phobia

79
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,320
it.
It's not like I don't like

80
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,360
phobia, I'm not scared of it,
but it just makes me throw up.

81
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:00,800
But you're.
Beyond like the normal range?

82
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,800
No one likes snot.
No, you're way beyond that.

83
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,600
Oh, you like gag at the?
Sound of the World.

84
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:06,720
You're like struggling now I can
see I'm.

85
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,120
Just talking about if someone if
someone, no, no.

86
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,880
There's little sound effects, so
it's like he's getting really

87
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,160
cool.
If it's when someone says that

88
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,360
they are, if they oh God if they
got phlegm or something.

89
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,920
Yeah, can't wait.
Spit it out.

90
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:25,640
No, spit out.
It's not.

91
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:28,280
Come on, don't.
Because if if someone says it,

92
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:29,600
I'm oh, it's disgusting.
And then I carry on.

93
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,240
My friends found this out.
They made I was I was in Asda

94
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,840
car park and they oh God, one of
my friends obviously had a

95
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,080
phlegmy throat.
Yeah, I was getting and it they

96
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,440
did it until I threw up in a
Bush.

97
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,440
Oh.
My God, they.

98
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,040
Were all like laughing,
obviously hilarious and I I had

99
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,360
to go to a Bush and it was too
much for me and I can't deal

100
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,560
with it.
So like anything to do with

101
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,920
that?
Oh God, I've had it before in

102
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,200
class.
I'm going to try to get free.

103
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,400
To throw up on the pod.
Come on guys, throw up on the

104
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,400
pod.
They can't hear me.

105
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,040
I can't hear them.
I've had it before in class

106
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,400
where I've, you know, when you
like cough or just sniff too

107
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,360
much and it goes to the back of
your throat and it goes into

108
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,040
your mouth.
Horrible.

109
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,680
But I've had to stop teaching
because I had to go into the

110
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,080
cupboard and find something
somewhere and there was no

111
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,480
tissue in the cupboard, so I had
to get a scrap bit of paper.

112
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:20,959
I scrunched up a scrap bit of
paper and I got rid of my phlegm

113
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,120
into it.
Your.

114
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,760
Guys are watering.
I am really struggling to like

115
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,960
not I need to stop out there and
I have to leave it in there and

116
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,240
come back out and so anything to
do is not when kids habits I

117
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,440
can't deal with it.
It's actually pathetic.

118
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,320
I reckon knowing you as well,
there's A at least 80% chance

119
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,200
that's still in that cupboard.
You know, there's no way you

120
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,400
went back in there like in the
market.

121
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,240
I'll get rid of that snotty
little scrap paper.

122
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,520
When I first started my new
school, my most recent school

123
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:51,760
and I was quite new and people
didn't know me that well.

124
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,720
And there was some point towards
the end of the year where one

125
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,040
that the the assistant head
teacher went into my cupboard

126
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,280
for something and was like
something stinks.

127
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:03,600
And it was like this old mouldy
sandwich that I'd forgotten

128
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,360
about half eaten was in the
corner and it stunk.

129
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,640
And then so from then on, I was
known as a sandwich boy.

130
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,080
Yeah, I'm just not remotely
surprised.

131
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,720
Well, I'll leave you with my
story, which you're going to

132
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,960
love then, after all of that
context about you and your love

133
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,600
for snot.
I had a child once, and you

134
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,440
might have even taught this
child, I don't know, but I had a

135
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,560
child once.
Who constantly had a snotty nose

136
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,640
for some reason and would always
wipe it across their sleeve.

137
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,600
And I remember one time, I
remember one time it just

138
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,120
annoyed me a little bit because
I was like, why?

139
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,120
Why?
Why can't they just use the

140
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:30,880
tissue?
I have tissues on them.

141
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,600
I said, do you want a tissue?
And it just went, they just

142
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,920
went, no, I'm all right, let's
just watch them like wipe a big

143
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,320
line of snot across their arm on
their jumper like for the fifth

144
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:41,600
time.
And it's like, what do you mean

145
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,000
you don't need a tissue?
Define.

146
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000
All right, Yeah, because I don't
think the snail trail is up and

147
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,360
down.
Yeah, absolutely disgusting.

148
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:49,120
Absolutely.
Disgusting.

149
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,600
But reusing the tissues is.
It's hilarious.

150
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:53,920
Like it's just so funny.
The kids probably think that

151
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,040
they're being sustainable and.
Helpful.

152
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,280
Let's put that.
Back in there for Johnny after

153
00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:00,200
Oh my God.
But on on the note of this, by

154
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,840
the way, I'm sorry.
Anyone who's out there uses

155
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,760
handkerchiefs are mental.
You're going to swear?

156
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,200
I was going to swear.
They're mental.

157
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,880
Aren't they handkerchiefs?
Why?

158
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,280
Tell me why.
Handkerchiefs, I think I've had,

159
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:10,840
I think I've said it's not.
We have a long time.

160
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:13,640
Because I can't believe that
it's a thing where you blow your

161
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,480
nose and you're like, cool, I
could even get rid of this.

162
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,200
Or I could shove it in my pocket
and blow my nose into it again

163
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,120
later.
Yeah, we think something is in

164
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,080
my pocket and I'll get the
crusty, snotty handkerchief out

165
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,920
later and blow my nose into it
again.

166
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,120
What on earth are you?
Get what?

167
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:30,880
Let us know if you have a
handkerchief in your pocket

168
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,560
right now.
I don't think it's that bad

169
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,360
because you fold it.
Sorry, all these kids, Yeah,

170
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,880
they fold it before they put it
back in the box.

171
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,320
How many times can you fold a
handkerchief before you have to

172
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,160
wash it and get rid of it again?
What are you on about at?

173
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,920
Least once like you can
definitely get away with your

174
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,240
nose on a handkerchief, which is
thicker than I can understand a

175
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,400
tissue because they're just
paper and they you know, right,

176
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,800
right, right, right.
Handkerchief is a piece of

177
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,680
material.
You can snot on it, fold it in

178
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,960
half, maybe you fold it in half
again for extra measure and you

179
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,160
can put it in your pocket.
Use that again.

180
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,160
This guy you could do.
It's not great, but you can.

181
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,280
You could.
You know what your calls do?

182
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:01,960
Gob in your hand and put that in
your pocket.

183
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,280
You could do.
Yeah, could do.

184
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,160
You could do.
My hand is not a perfectly

185
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,960
wrapped.
Handkerchief could do, could do.

186
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,280
It's not the, it's not the, it's
not the logic.

187
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:10,200
I'm not having it.
Oh God.

188
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,760
Famously, I think you can only
fold things seven times.

189
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,480
Yeah, and then you reach the
moon, something like that,

190
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,480
right?
I think that's it, yeah.

191
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,120
There's some odd episode of
Mythbusters.

192
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,160
Yeah, they.
Fold a piece of paper 7 times

193
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,200
and you'll reach the moon.
That's that's what we teach our

194
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,080
kids next generation, right?
Come on next.

195
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,200
Question Next question This is
anonymous submission.

196
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,600
Our SLT have introduced the
Teaching and Learning initiative

197
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,520
for the month of December.
ATNLA Teaching and Learning Elf

198
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,000
on the Shelf Each morning the
elf is put in a teacher's

199
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000
classroom in some sort of scene
or pose.

200
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,480
Lol I've added that with a
teaching and learning thank.

201
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,080
God, the the the people
listening weren't sure when to.

202
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,240
Laugh out loud, I just thought.
You said a lot.

203
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,360
I want to stop this person.
I think they put a lol in it

204
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,640
with a teaching and learning tip
next to it.

205
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,000
How?
How nice is that, right?

206
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,600
Whoever ends up with the elf has
to hide it in another teacher's

207
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,360
classroom for the following day,
blah blah blah and so on.

208
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,840
When you discover the elf in the
morning you have to take a

209
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,560
picture of it and send it to all
staff.

210
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,760
SLT have announced a prize will
be given to the most funny slash

211
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,920
creative elf.
Right, this is just context at

212
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,520
this point.
Am I being too miserable about

213
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,960
this as I think this is a
complete burden on staff?

214
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,880
I made the mistake of leaving
early last year and came back

215
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,040
the next day to find the elf in
my room.

216
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,360
So nobody wants to leave early
in case they get the elf.

217
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,360
I felt terrible this like you
think this is bad?

218
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,159
I felt terrible as I hid the elf
in my colleagues room and she

219
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:36,000
burst out crying and she already
felt burnt out and this finished

220
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,679
her off SLT laughed it off as
this should be light heartened

221
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,919
fun in quotation marks.
Sorry light hearted.

222
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:46,640
Yeah, light hearted.
Light hearted.

223
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,720
Fun, light hearted fun.
Honest to God, you're not

224
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,160
reading another bloody question.
I'm saying God.

225
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:57,000
Dare you make a mistake one time
one make one mistake one.

226
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,840
For context, this is the school
where we were doing 8 duties a

227
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,760
week with the headteachers
saying never to query

228
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,160
management.
I think we had this.

229
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:04,400
Doesn't.
Yeah.

230
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:05,840
Doesn't that sum up?
Isn't it?

231
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,200
I find it all.
I always find it so funny when

232
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,720
you find out a toxic, horrible
managers version of fun.

233
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:12,840
Yeah.
This is fun.

234
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,120
What?
Is it fun?

235
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,200
Is any part of this?
You're telling me this is fun in

236
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,920
the context of me telling you
that they're crying.

237
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,720
So like, I just don't think this
is the time to tell me that's

238
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:21,720
fun.
It doesn't.

239
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,520
Like, come on.
I think you might be wrong.

240
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,840
I think you think you might
actually be.

241
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,360
Don't query management love.
Yeah, that's TNL Health on the

242
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,200
shelf.
They're having a meltdown over

243
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,520
there.
Well, where's that picture?

244
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,920
What?
Don't query management.

245
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,920
Here's my tea now.
Pinnacle G Yeah, it's like, it's

246
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,200
insane.
It screams, you know, we talk

247
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,920
about like well-being
initiatives like 4 slides.

248
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,240
It's like got yo club.
It's like they've decided what

249
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,080
everyone's what's good for
everyone's well-being and it's

250
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,640
doing Elf on a Shelf for staff.
They've taken something which is

251
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,280
barely fun in the 1st place,
which is Elf on a Shelf, which I

252
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:52,400
already think is just
ridiculous.

253
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:54,000
But you know what?
There's a lot of really nice

254
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,400
people out there who just want
to make something fun for their

255
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,240
kids and want to do that kids.
I think it's important, yeah.

256
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,040
Barely fun for kids.
Exactly that, yeah.

257
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,360
Maybe it's a bit of extra
workload.

258
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,440
Maybe it's like there's a
question in mind.

259
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,520
Do you?
Want to do that way again where

260
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,360
you just burped into the mic
whilst you were talking?

261
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:14,920
Wow, our standards?
Really.

262
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,720
Don't want to edit anything post
production.

263
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,480
That's so funny.
There's Tie Sweeney.

264
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:26,440
Tie Sweeney.
What is going on?

265
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,280
Everybody can't.
Tight, chilly, sweet sensation.

266
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,920
So, yeah.
Chilly, sweet.

267
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,040
I don't know if it's the right
way around.

268
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,200
This is so lighthearted.
We're losing.

269
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,160
This is so lighthearted.
It's such lighthearted fun.

270
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:39,600
We've lost it.
I was.

271
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,000
Trying to talk about Alfred,
Michelle.

272
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,760
Yeah.
Where I just think it's, it's a

273
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,520
waste of time.
But yeah, this, this is insane.

274
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,000
Like, you're not miserable.
This is what winds me up as

275
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,360
well.
And people end up saying you're

276
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,600
miserable because you disagree
with something that someone else

277
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,280
has decided is good.
Like you saying it's not good or

278
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,040
fun for me doesn't mean it's
miserable exactly.

279
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,320
It just means that you have a
different definition of fun.

280
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,200
Which by the way, I don't think
anyones definition of fun is a

281
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,480
teaching of learning off on the
shelf.

282
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,360
I never ever ever sat there
thinking I could bloody do right

283
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,600
Now we're a bit of fun a
teaching and learning off on the

284
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,520
shelf where I put it in someones
classroom.

285
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:11,680
Imagine.
You know what?

286
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:14,000
Ditto there.
There are a few teachers who I

287
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,400
would definitely put the alpha
in their classroom.

288
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,520
Just a one and they'll be meet
you.

289
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,640
I just few teachers.
I feel like even like even on

290
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,320
this right, we're still
forgetting the bit that I think

291
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,520
is hilarious, which is that they
have to give a teaching a

292
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,960
learning tip.
Would it like that if we were

293
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,560
doing that?
I could not take the piss.

294
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:31,960
No, I you would be leaving the
most sarcastic or silly or

295
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,440
ridiculous outrageous comments,
wouldn't you?

296
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,680
Tip #1 Don't do teaching on any
off on the shelf I.

297
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,800
Think why you're too nice.
I'll be straight in with.

298
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,680
How about you try being a good
teacher?

299
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,880
Like really horrible over the
top comments because they know

300
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,280
I'm taking the Mick.
Do what you should do.

301
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,280
If you have that in your school,
you should put it in SLT's

302
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,680
office and just be.
Don't be passive aggressive.

303
00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:51,280
Just be aggressive.
Just write in the notes saying

304
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,200
this is wasting my time, Just
put it.

305
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,960
Just put it on the desk.
No attempts to do a silly pose,

306
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,560
it's just chucked on the floor
with a note next to.

307
00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:01,560
It I know that I know that the
teachers can't query it, but

308
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:05,120
maybe elves can.
No, the elves smashed all of

309
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:12,120
your things.
He's broken all of your toxic

310
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,120
observations that you do 5 * a
year and staff all of them be.

311
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,800
Deleted from the file.
Your PCs in shambles.

312
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,800
Someone said a whistle blank
form to the governors.

313
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,760
Your house brought your P-45,
silly little elf.

314
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,040
Buddy else put an advert on
can't teach you again for a new

315
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,080
SL team member and it's your
job.

316
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,960
That blasted elf.
It's a little rascally.

317
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,120
Anyway, stuffs in the box,
securities on the way.

318
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,840
See you later.
Madness.

319
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,200
OK, bring it back.
Calming down.

320
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,360
Calming down a little bit.
Toxic asity have gone, the elves

321
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,760
have taken over schools in a bad
place.

322
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,120
Yeah, I think this person is
wrong.

323
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,840
This sounds hilarious.
This sounds great.

324
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,200
This sounds fun as anything.
What do you mean this is a

325
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,320
burden?
You're just doing it wrong.

326
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,600
Oh.
My gosh, should we move on to

327
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:09,320
the next?
Question.

328
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,280
Yeah, OK, yeah, but but just
don't want to finish off by

329
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,000
saying that is insane.
Yeah, yeah.

330
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,280
If if I found the elf in my
room, it would find its way to

331
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:15,680
the bin.
Oh God.

332
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,120
That was supposed to be the I
put.

333
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,320
I labelled it as like a serious
one.

334
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:19,800
I love.
Yeah, I can see how you've.

335
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,920
Tried to alter the ultimate.
Yeah, Silly one.

336
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,520
Serious one.
Well, we're back to a silly one

337
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:26,720
now.
Did that what a burp part went

338
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,360
through.
Yeah, that did set the tone.

339
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:30,560
Really.
So back to Tom.

340
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,800
What everyday classroom item
holds the most untapped power?

341
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,360
That's such a good one.
Yeah, I'm, I'm struggling with

342
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:39,840
that.
I I always think about this

343
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,320
isn't necessarily everyday and
for some reason I'm going more

344
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,040
serious now.
On this question, yeah, it's

345
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,560
not.
Necessarily an everyday item,

346
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,040
but the thing that genuinely
transformed how I teach the most

347
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,360
was a clicker.
A clicker button.

348
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:52,120
I hate you.
Why?

349
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,840
Because that was mine.
I'm pre loaded in my head.

350
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,360
Sorry, I'll.
Let you talk about them.

351
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,720
It's not necessarily every day,
but can you explain them?

352
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,720
What do we even mean by a
clicker and why was it a

353
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,760
genuinely transfer?
And I'll add slightly to it, a

354
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,560
clicker with a laser go on a
laser pointer clickers because

355
00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:07,480
it meant you can be anywhere in
the.

356
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,200
What does it do then?
What do we mean as it literally,

357
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,160
as in like a left literally has
like a left and right button.

358
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,200
So you can be anywhere in the
classroom and move through your

359
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,320
slides.
So it's Bluetooth business.

360
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,560
Yeah, it's Bluetooth to your
laptop or whatever it is so that

361
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:19,320
you don't have to go to the
board to press next.

362
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,320
If you're working on a
PowerPoint or smart notebook,

363
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,760
whatever it is you do, you can
be somewhere else and just click

364
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,200
it, you know it's in your
pocket, whatever.

365
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,120
And it was particularly great
because I had a laser pointer

366
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,240
version for years, and it didn't
work anymore because we got new

367
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,720
screens at our school and the
laser pointer didn't work on it

368
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,360
anymore.
But when I had a laser pointer,

369
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,240
I could sit at the back of the
classroom if I need their

370
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,520
attention on a particular thing
on the screen, bam, laser

371
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:39,200
points.
And they loved it.

372
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,800
I like cats.
I was getting my tennis swift

373
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,200
tickets at the back.
Have a.

374
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,560
Look, next slide, please.
I had a kid at the front, you

375
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:46,840
know, telling me when to go to
the next slide.

376
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:47,960
Another kid telling me what to.
Look at.

377
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,160
I get the front pressing the
button anyway.

378
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,080
The laser didn't work yeah, but
that that to me was like

379
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,400
absolute staple.
I had that all everyone teaching

380
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,480
career and when we got those
screens, this is how I know it's

381
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,600
so good because when we got
those screens and more like TV

382
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,920
screens and the laser pointer
just like evaporated into it

383
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,920
didn't work anymore.
Yeah, I was gutted because I was

384
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,640
like it made me realised how
evaporated made me realised how

385
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,360
much I I liked being able to be
anywhere and like reference.

386
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,520
Oh, look at that exact thing
that helped me going to the ball

387
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:12,680
it.
Was really good, wasn't it?

388
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,200
It was like it was more dynamic
teaching.

389
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:15,360
You could be where you wanted to
be.

390
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,680
How many times when you're
teaching would you actually just

391
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,000
rather be stood next to a
certain person that you just

392
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,200
want to make sure they know?
Go there, go around the room,

393
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,520
see what you're doing it.
It felt so much more seamless.

394
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:25,840
I felt like such a better
teacher.

395
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,680
Yeah, because of it.
I was thinking of some more as

396
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,040
well.
Unless you've got anything to

397
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:29,560
add.
No, no.

398
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,000
Good point.
A few other things because a big

399
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,400
thing for me that improved my
teaching was anything that

400
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:35,920
allowed me to model more
effectively.

401
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,800
Because I, I, I found that my
best teaching was when I wasn't

402
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,200
just working off slides I'd been
given or planned previously and

403
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,840
just reading through text and
doing stuff like that.

404
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,480
I found my best, best teaching
was always when I was modelling

405
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,440
how to do something, you know,
doing something myself, doing

406
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:51,920
something to together I do, we
do you do.

407
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,480
I actually really like that as a
pedagogy tool and and I think it

408
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,080
was really useful in my teaching
when things in my classroom

409
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,320
aided me to do that.
So to add to this list, I'd put

410
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,560
something like a really good
visualizer, like having a

411
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,720
quality visualizer that I don't
necessarily use all the time,

412
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,440
but the amount of times I'd want
to just click on quick, have

413
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:09,880
some math manipulatives in front
of me.

414
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,080
The kids had it in front of
them.

415
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,480
They could look at the board and
what I was doing.

416
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:13,840
They could match it.
And then we could try some

417
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,040
questions, etcetera, whether it
was layout of how I wanted

418
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,080
something to look like.
If such video like a newspaper

419
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,000
report or something, I might
think, well, actually this what

420
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,520
we're going to do, It's going to
look like this modelling writing

421
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,080
like literally you could do on
the whiteboard, obviously, but

422
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,120
you can do on paper in front of.
You.

423
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,000
Yeah, that's good.
And can I tell you something

424
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:29,680
wild?
Go on.

425
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,120
I never use the visualizer.
Yeah, it's like ever.

426
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,840
Yeah, it's interesting because,
because you're a strange one.

427
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,560
I'm going to say right now
because there's a lot of stuff

428
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,680
you're the ultimate version
genuinely of if something's

429
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,640
different, you're quite
reluctant to do.

430
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:44,560
Stuck in my ways.
Yeah.

431
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,120
And like, there are lots of
what?

432
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,240
Lots of times where it's a good
thing, honestly, where you say

433
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,640
no to stuff, sure, but I've
genuinely fought quite a few

434
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,080
times.
There's stuff where I'm like,

435
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,840
why aren't you doing that?
I think that as well, genuinely.

436
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,000
Visualizers that visualizers
really, really useful.

437
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,480
Like again, I, I, I would have
hated it if it was mandated and

438
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,520
it was like, you need 5 minutes
visualizer every time because

439
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,520
we've decided it's a good thing.
My, my push back is always stuff

440
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,560
can be good, but you can still
let me decide as a professional

441
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,040
when to do it.
I think it's a middle ground.

442
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,200
Can I tell you why?
Because there is a bit of

443
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,920
reason, even though I don't
think it's the best answer.

444
00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:15,319
I just didn't have one or it
didn't work for like a solid

445
00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:17,560
five years of my career.
And then I got used to never

446
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,160
using it and it never crossed my
mind.

447
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,800
But then but then the last like
3 years of my career, I had a

448
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,880
working visualizer in my room
and I just didn't use it.

449
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,920
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I, I think what I'd say to that

450
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,120
is that is a separate point like
the faultiness of the tech or

451
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:32,240
not working properly, that's
separate in terms of that's

452
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,400
still a problem.
I can see why it might foster an

453
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,000
an idea of, well, I don't need
this then, so I'll never do it.

454
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,160
But there's definitely points
where it's like OK, but

455
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,640
something can be introduced.
To you exactly.

456
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,200
I kind of.
I did just start using it again,

457
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,360
so like modelling stuff and, and
I think if I look back in my

458
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:49,960
career, I did one year in year 3
and it was post COVID and we

459
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,480
went back to very much basics
and I, I actually think it was

460
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,680
some of my best ever teaching.
What with the visualizer?

461
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,680
No, no, no, not this for my next
thing as well with that as well.

462
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,520
Yeah, helped.
But that we've also, I had a

463
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,240
flip chart.
I had, I had like a flip trial.

464
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,960
I can move around, obviously the
board's fine, but the board's

465
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,720
static and still some children
around the room.

466
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,680
I had AI had a clipboard that
was really easy to move, had

467
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,120
paper so I could flick forward
and backwards and stuff.

468
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:15,080
And we could like have the
journey of the lesson almost

469
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,080
like a working wall.
But then if I'd got the whole

470
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,400
pad up, it had a whiteboard as
well.

471
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:23,800
And I would like, I would almost
like exclusively use that when I

472
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,720
was doing my lessons.
Like I would literally like I'd

473
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,400
have my plan.
I'd still make a smart notebook,

474
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,000
but but every single lesson I'd
be like, right, I'd be dragging

475
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,520
it along, put it in front of the
kids, come, I'm doing that.

476
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,600
Oh, I'm going to work for a
group, drag it to my group, I'm

477
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,240
modelling to the group.
And I found my best teaching was

478
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,800
always when I was doing
something, modelling it with

479
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,280
them, showing them how to do it,
then practise themselves,

480
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,320
bringing it back to them,
showing anything that increased

481
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,440
the amount of those doing that
in the classroom made me a

482
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:49,920
better teacher.
They're just the most enjoyable

483
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,600
lessons though, aren't they?
Like you're absolutely right.

484
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,000
Like my favourite lessons ever
were the ones where on the spot

485
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,520
I was analysing and adapting
constantly and just thinking I

486
00:18:58,560 --> 00:18:59,880
was just, you're just in flow
state.

487
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,800
I know it sounds really corny in
flow state, but you are though.

488
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,560
Yeah.
Like the ones where I have to

489
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,680
just teach my PowerPoint, that
even worse someone else has

490
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,080
planned.
It's not even my, like, exact

491
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,600
thought train going into it.
They're the worst lessons.

492
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,080
I want the one where it's OK.
Give me an hour.

493
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,840
I know the objective.
I've been teaching for 10 years

494
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,520
now.
I know the objective inside and

495
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,120
out.
I will adapt to these kids on

496
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:18,520
the spot.
Give me a flip chart and I'll

497
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:19,800
teach the best lesson I've ever
taught.

498
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,840
Yeah, it's true.
It's just you get to that point.

499
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,320
That's where there's like three
options, right?

500
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,040
So and I can see why people end
up going down the route of

501
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,520
meticulously planning something
themselves because you have the

502
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,520
one you talked about there where
it's like shared planning and

503
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,240
you just said how that's
annoying and it's never as good,

504
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,320
but it does really lighten your
workload when you don't have to.

505
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,080
It's essential, right?
So it is essential to do.

506
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,640
There's two prongs to go off
this right?

507
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,640
When you when you realise it's
bad, you want to improve your

508
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,000
teaching, right?
You're like, this is just, this

509
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,360
is just clunky.
I don't feel it.

510
00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:48,640
I don't feel that spark.
I get it saved me hours and

511
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:49,720
hours, which is really
important.

512
00:19:50,360 --> 00:19:53,040
It's annoying.
One way to go down is going down

513
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,360
the route of so I need to plan
everything myself from scratch

514
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:58,120
for me, for the kids, do my do
my smart, do my notebook.

515
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,040
And when you're a less
experienced teacher?

516
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,560
There's some way indefinitely
going through stuff and

517
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,680
replanning it and just getting
your way and and knowing what

518
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,800
works for you.
But in general, it's just adding

519
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,440
workload.
It's not reasonable, but people

520
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:09,840
go down that route because of
what you just said.

521
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,080
They want the best for the kids
and it ends up ploughing into

522
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,000
their burnout basically and just
making them rinse themselves.

523
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,920
Yeah, the other option, which I
felt like I got to burned in my

524
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,320
career was I was more
experienced.

525
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,000
So the option I ran down was
cool.

526
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,560
That's my baseline.
I understand where I'm starting.

527
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,360
I understand where the end goal
of this lesson is all.

528
00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:27,560
The shared planning.
Exactly shared planning still

529
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,720
I'm still I'm still using that
shared planning, but where I

530
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,560
think if I just use this slide
by slide, lesson by lesson, line

531
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,600
by line really to the script, it
wouldn't be perfect for my

532
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,960
class.
As an experienced teacher, I'm

533
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,640
higher up on the pay scale
because of that, because I'm a

534
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,360
better at adapting on the spot
and giving the kids what they

535
00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:43,840
need.
That's it.

536
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,800
So that is what I said I always
would advocate in this to any

537
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,120
experienced teacher.
I was like, don't sit and

538
00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:50,720
complain to me that something's
not on the smart.

539
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,560
You're a teacher of 10 years
yeah, do something different

540
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:54,400
now.
And if your kids, it's your

541
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:55,680
kids.
And our head teacher was always

542
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,920
saying that, always saying that
and really backed our staff to

543
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,920
do that.
And but they'd still be a lot of

544
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,560
people who'd be like, oh, but
but the smart notebook looks

545
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:04,920
quite wrong.
And there's all this and all

546
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,120
that.
Don't worry, you're a teacher of

547
00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:09,120
12 years.
Just do what you need to do for

548
00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:11,080
your kids.
And that, that is when I had the

549
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,760
best version of my teaching was
when I was confident enough to

550
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,240
do that.
I still came away from the

551
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,000
script.
I think that's why I go after

552
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,480
that kind of prescriptive
lessons where you got to the

553
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:21,720
exact same thing all of the
time.

554
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,000
You walk into every classroom.
I think that's nonsense.

555
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,120
I think that is just away from
the top down to go down that

556
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:29,800
first route I spoke about where,
Oh no, you've got to be exactly

557
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,440
the same.
Have an exact line for the kids,

558
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,320
and then you can kind of go
through the smart yourself and

559
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:34,960
maybe adapt it a little bit.
But it's gotta be on the smart.

560
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:35,960
We gotta make sure everything is
OK.

561
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,560
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Give your professionals some

562
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,280
leeway because that's when my
kids got the most.

563
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,040
Well, that trust is what's been
Rd, isn't it?

564
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:46,200
That trust for the professionals
is really to me what contributes

565
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,720
to the entire when we talk about
toxic culture and toxic

566
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:49,920
practises across teaching,
that's it.

567
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,480
It all boils down to no one
trusts the teachers anymore.

568
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:53,880
We can't have that trust.
We haven't.

569
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,400
Everything has to be perfect
from the outset and I have to be

570
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,240
able to evidence and see that
it's perfect straight away.

571
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,240
And if it's not, then I can't
possibly trust that you could.

572
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,480
You might be able to adapt and
teach a good lesson on the spot.

573
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:03,920
I don't want to leave that to
chance.

574
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:05,560
It needs to be perfect straight
away.

575
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,160
You know you can see what
happens.

576
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,080
Everything needs to be on this
exact pro forma for the

577
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,280
worksheet.
You do every single lesson.

578
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,280
Does it?
Does it?

579
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,160
Are you insane?
Are you mad?

580
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,360
Do you think that because
something doesn't look exactly

581
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:19,480
like the pro forma you've given
it for the task they've got to

582
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,320
do in that lesson compared to
the next day, that learning

583
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,400
can't possibly have happened?
Or do you trust me as a

584
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,440
professional more to have
decided that there was a

585
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,840
different way to do this which
didn't involve doing that, but

586
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,040
the kids still learned?
Like, what do you think I'm

587
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:33,840
doing?
Is there not a point in my

588
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,680
career where you can just go,
ah, do you know what?

589
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,720
That's not the kind of thing I
need to manage The macro stuff,

590
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,960
the outcomes, the kids
happiness, all that kind of

591
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,000
stuff.
That's really important.

592
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,680
I'm going to make sure I'm on
top of that, how something looks

593
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:45,920
slide to slide.
If something's slightly

594
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,200
different or you decide to this
out for your task, you know

595
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,360
what, I trust you.
You've got a track record.

596
00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:52,880
Doesn't really matter, yeah.
Especially when you're getting

597
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:53,720
results.
Madness.

598
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,720
It's a passion and I'm sure a
lot of people agree and are

599
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:56,760
nodding along.
And that was that.

600
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,120
That was a jovial question.
I know.

601
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,120
Yeah, I know.
It's funny, isn't it?

602
00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:00,240
We're just.
There's no rules here.

603
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,880
We we, we we adapt on a Monday
now.

604
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,560
Yeah, it's a Monday.
It's all changed.

605
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,920
You know, we adapt on the spot.
Teacher standard, right?

606
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,640
Next question.
This one's from Instagram.

607
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,240
How would you deal with staff
meetings consistently running

608
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,400
over time?
Is it rude to walk out?

609
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,080
So kind of A2 prong question
there go.

610
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,000
On OK is OK?
I'm going to start with the

611
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,440
second part.
Is it rude to walk out?

612
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,720
I would say back to you, is it
rude to constantly waste your

613
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,040
time?
And the answer is yes to both.

614
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,920
That's what I mean, I think.
No, that's all I'm saying.

615
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,440
I'm not saying fight fire with
fire is always the best thing to

616
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,520
do.
I'm just saying like please

617
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:33,640
don't always just put it on
yourself.

618
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,440
Like, oh, am I being rude?
Well, just think they're being

619
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,480
rude.
So it is like a tit for tat kind

620
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,960
of situation here where it won't
necessarily solve the problem

621
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,960
that you necessarily just stand
up and get out.

622
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,200
There are ways to do things.
I think do 4 things before that.

623
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,040
Yeah.
If nothing was ever changed, it

624
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,680
would get to the point of like,
OK, well I'm going to walk out

625
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,000
now because I have actually
raised this.

626
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,520
That's fine.
I think that's important and we

627
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,320
should probably keep going into
that context a bit more.

628
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,760
I think.
I think the idea of being rude,

629
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:58,880
I think it's a scale at the end
of the day.

630
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,680
Like I do actually think it is
more objective.

631
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,000
Actually, from an optics
perspective, it is more rude to

632
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,000
just get up and walk out of a
staff meeting and everyone would

633
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,800
be like, it's like shock factor
rude than it is the kind of

634
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,120
passive rudeness of your staff
meeting going over by 10

635
00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:12,520
minutes.
But.

636
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,080
Is it more rude?
I think again from from

637
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,280
literally a perspective of
looking at it feels more rude.

638
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,000
Like people would be in shock at
one and not in shock at the

639
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,120
other.
But is it more rude?

640
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:23,960
I don't know that's it.
Depends if you value that

641
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,480
opinion or not like it's I'm.
Saying I think you're right,

642
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,640
yeah, but I'm just I'm that's a
separate thing.

643
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:29,920
I'm almost.
Is it more rude?

644
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,120
Yeah, I don't know.
And that scale, yes, Yeah,

645
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,560
objectively, I don't know if
there is a possible way of

646
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,920
saying saying that, but I think
if it looks more rude, then I

647
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,720
guess that's kind of how we
define what rude point.

648
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,760
So yeah, I guess in that
perspective it is more rude.

649
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,120
You're putting optics on a
higher scale, Yeah.

650
00:24:44,120 --> 00:24:47,160
Because realistically, in real
life, yeah, the reaction would

651
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,320
be that more people have
featured.

652
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,000
The reaction kind of determines
how rude something is.

653
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:51,760
It is.
I mean, it should, but yeah,

654
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,040
yeah.
But rudeness is based on, like,

655
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,720
a society, isn't it?
Like some things that, you know,

656
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,160
people always say, you're right,
you're right, you go to a

657
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,680
different culture and it's not
rude to be late or whatever.

658
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,880
Do you know what I mean?
Like, hope it's not rude on a

659
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,200
podcast.
Yeah.

660
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:03,320
But then people say that sort of
stuff.

661
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,120
I'm like OK, Rudeness is defined
by people, but.

662
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,080
We had on that very quickly.
I remember when I played

663
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:11,520
football every week on a
weekend, a bunch of our team

664
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,560
were from like African descent
and they have big African

665
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,960
families who'd migrated over
here and their whole culture

666
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,240
really wasn't like time.
Being on time wasn't a thing

667
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,480
that was rude or not.
So it's like it wasn't rude to

668
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,440
be late to something.
It was like, well, when I turn

669
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,200
up is the time I turn up.
It's not even about being rude

670
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,240
like, so this is what why I'm
making this point because on an

671
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,880
optics point of view, when we
were turning up to training at

672
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,200
10 for the game at 11 and we
wanted to turn up at 10 because

673
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:42,240
we had a training routine to do
to me, my first thought was it

674
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,080
was quite rude to time at 20,
like 20 part.

675
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,080
We've got drills to do like
yeah, yeah, you're that's we've

676
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:47,600
agreed this time.
We've agreed this time.

677
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:53,680
But then on the on the other
level is they weren't actually

678
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,720
being rude because to them it
was just a, oh, you said 10, so

679
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,920
I'm here at 20 past just like if
I say 10 and I turn up at 22.

680
00:26:01,120 --> 00:26:02,680
In some other cultures that
would be rude.

681
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,040
But to me it's just organised.
Yeah.

682
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,440
It's all relative.
It's all perspective based.

683
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:07,800
Exactly that.
And I'm just like, OK, so

684
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,600
sometimes I don't think the
optics necessarily translate to

685
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,720
if something is actually rude or
not, is all I'm saying.

686
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,160
I think there's there's more
deeper issues going on there.

687
00:26:16,360 --> 00:26:20,120
And what I would like to
highlight more is the perception

688
00:26:20,120 --> 00:26:24,080
that it's less rude to overrun a
meeting every week compared to

689
00:26:24,120 --> 00:26:25,920
getting up and leaving the
meeting when we all agreed it

690
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,000
would end.
Yeah, yeah.

691
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,040
I think that's something we
should address before we just

692
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,800
say it's less or more rude.
Yeah, that's, that's absolutely

693
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,040
fine.
So going back to this question

694
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,600
then I think, yeah, if we go to
the scenario where the meet

695
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,400
staff meetings have consistently
run over time and nothing has

696
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:39,640
been addressed about that
before.

697
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,640
And the first thing that ever
happens is you just decide one

698
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,960
day I'm going to get up and just
leave at 5:00, right?

699
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,120
Because that's when it's agreed.
I think that comes across quite

700
00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:48,320
rude.
I don't think that's like the

701
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,960
optimal outcome.
I think like you sort of quickly

702
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,600
glossed over, there should be
some things you do before that.

703
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,360
Like realistically, if this
happens more than once, the

704
00:26:56,360 --> 00:26:59,080
first point of call is firstly,
I think just even just talk to

705
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,560
other staff and have you noticed
it's going over?

706
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,600
It's going over time, isn't it?
Checking it and then going to

707
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,480
SLT and saying, I've noticed
this thing in a very polite

708
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,280
manner, doesn't need to be
aggressive and like, oh, it's

709
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,360
going to be a horrible
conversation.

710
00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:10,880
Just saying, I've noticed our
staff meetings have overrun for

711
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,960
four weeks in a row now.
Is, is there any, any chance we

712
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,320
could just keep it back?
Because obviously we've got

713
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,680
other commitments to do and just
complete this job and just take

714
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:17,960
it from there.
And if that, you know, if that

715
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,160
conversation goes badly or they
say you just get over it, then

716
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,200
you get, you're working up to
the point where I'd say it's

717
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,240
completely acceptable to, to
say, look, this is the contract

718
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:26,840
at the end of the day, you want
to ignore it, that's fine.

719
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,800
But I'm not going to, I'm
walking out of this meeting now.

720
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,080
It's 5:00, then it's acceptable.
I just feel like you need to

721
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,320
address that.
Middle yeah, that's fine.

722
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,920
I, I, I think, and also quite
often delivering after school

723
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,040
meetings are your colleagues who
are your mates exactly.

724
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,040
And things like that.
And like, if I've ever overran,

725
00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:43,280
I've really, really this is what
I mean though I have always

726
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,840
tried to not overrun.
I do think it is within within

727
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,800
your control.
I'm burping again, it is within

728
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,520
your control whether or not you
do that.

729
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,920
But yeah, it's like your mate,
you don't want to you don't want

730
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,520
to be annoying for the sake of
being annoying exactly.

731
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,280
But I do think it is important
to just back your corner and

732
00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:59,960
like you said, do it in the
right way.

733
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,000
Yeah, definitely.
Let's move on to the next

734
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,360
question.
That's an anonymous submission

735
00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:05,080
here.
What did you tell your classes

736
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,240
when you were quitting teaching?
Was it different to what you'd

737
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,400
said when you were just moving
schools in the past?

738
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,400
Yeah, I said I'm quitting, and
last time I said I'm moving.

739
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,920
And one of them, in fact, both
of them, I never came back.

740
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,360
I must say one of them I came
back obviously.

741
00:28:18,360 --> 00:28:19,240
Not.
Never went back.

742
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,000
No.
Jokes aside, it's really

743
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,960
interesting actually, how you
approach that with the children.

744
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,480
Yeah.
Because I don't know about you

745
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,480
and I see a lot of stuff online.
It just cringes me out a bit.

746
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,120
People post about it and make
themselves the main character of

747
00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:35,600
that happening.
I, I, I didn't when when we were

748
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,280
quitting teaching, we didn't
tell the kids for ageing after

749
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,160
because it was just not not it's
irrelevant.

750
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:42,480
The kid doesn't need to know
that.

751
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,640
The only time I told the kids we
were leaving was just getting

752
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,800
like half a day or a day ahead
of the curve when the new

753
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,040
teachers were announced for next
year.

754
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,560
Because obviously a transition
day.

755
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,000
The kids aren't daft.
They're like, they'll realise

756
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,480
they're going somewhere, but
they'll look where all the other

757
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,000
teachers are, where we used to
are on transition day.

758
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,600
Oh, I'm not in here actually.
Oh, you're leaving school.

759
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,400
And that's when I just said to
them I was like, I'm not

760
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,400
teaching anymore.
I was very honest with them.

761
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,560
I said yeah, I'm going to, I'm
going to do something else.

762
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,240
Not in the classroom, still be
in education.

763
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,560
You might see me at some point.
Is it because of me, Sir?

764
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,720
Yes, it is.
Is actually just because of you?

765
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,200
Yeah.
Really, really annoying.

766
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,240
My kids asked that the idea 6 is
they genuinely said, oh, is it

767
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:21,560
because you don't like teaching
our class?

768
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,200
And I felt I couldn't have felt
worse in that moment because

769
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,640
that that's where they went.
So I had to really explain.

770
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,520
They thought you didn't.
Yeah, I don't know if they

771
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,680
necessarily thought that or just
trying to be a bit provocative

772
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,400
in terms of like, they just
asked that question just, you

773
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,360
know, kids are quite point
blank, they don't hold anything

774
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,440
back, do they?
But yeah, they just said, oh, is

775
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,200
it like, is it because you
haven't enjoyed teaching our

776
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:39,520
class?
And I was, I was like

777
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,480
heartbroken at that question
because obviously it wasn't.

778
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,320
And I really, because they're
year six, you can just have that

779
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:44,840
bit more nuance.
I just had a whole conversation

780
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,760
about, yeah, why I'm quitting
teaching and I wasn't.

781
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:47,840
Too.
It's a system, kids.

782
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,720
Yeah, I didn't sit there and say
you're screwed.

783
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,960
Yeah, I did.
Obviously I had limits, but I

784
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,280
did try to explain it to them in
sort of adult terms as much as

785
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:56,360
possible and just be honest with
them.

786
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:57,880
Why?
And made it really clear that I

787
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,560
was not quitting teaching
because I had such a horrible

788
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,280
year with them.
Like there was such a nice class

789
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,040
as well.
Yeah, I just use ways of doing

790
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,360
it.
Where yeah, it doesn't.

791
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,840
There's no point.
It would be for my ego to tell

792
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,040
them earlier and make a big
thing of it.

793
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,400
And I always, I said this a
million times, even on

794
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,280
transition day when they were
moving class, if they really

795
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,600
didn't want to, I would always
frame it.

796
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,440
Always frame it as it's better
where you're going.

797
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,040
Yeah, definitely.
I'm glad you had the best time

798
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:22,560
with me in the world.
But I'm never going, oh, going

799
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:23,520
to miss me.
Are you kids?

800
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,240
And some teachers are like,
that's really cringy.

801
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,840
I don't like it.
Oh, going to miss me, going to

802
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,320
come back and see me.
Like, it's not good for them.

803
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:29,960
It's nice.
But like in the moment where

804
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,800
they're transitioning, you need
to aid that transition as much

805
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:33,600
as possible.
Yeah.

806
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,680
And make it even if even if it
is or it isn't is irrelevant.

807
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,000
It's what's happening next year.
Hype up the next teacher.

808
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,400
You have to, you have to do
that.

809
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,120
You have to say, oh, no, no
good.

810
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,080
You're gonna have the best time
because this teacher does this,

811
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,800
this and this.
They're the best in the world at

812
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,040
that.
You're gonna smash it, guys.

813
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,400
You've had a good time in Year
4.

814
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,520
God, you're so lucky.
You have a better time in Year

815
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,000
5.
Like, I promise you, yeah.

816
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:53,920
It's not about you as an
individual.

817
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,280
So I can see why maybe this
question comes from like, is it

818
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,320
relevant to the kids that you're
quitting or moving school?

819
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:00,680
Like, yeah, yeah.
Do you make it a thing?

820
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,720
I would say the only, the only
difference, the only reason I

821
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,720
said I was quitting is because I
was.

822
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,840
And I didn't see a problem with
that.

823
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,640
Yeah.
I didn't think saying quitting

824
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,320
was in that situation.
I said before about how it's all

825
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,040
about me now.
No, no, it's just, oh, I'm

826
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:14,280
quitting.
Yeah, because I'm doing this

827
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:15,480
because they're.
Gonna have the same reactions,

828
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:16,480
really.
If I'd said, oh, I'm moving

829
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,120
schools, they would still have
said, oh, is it because you

830
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:19,800
didn't like teaching this class?
Like, you know, I mean, it's not

831
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:20,840
like it's going to be that
different.

832
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,680
So, yeah, to answer that
question, I'd say that pretty

833
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,280
much identical other than like
the literal semantics, Yeah,

834
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,320
between saying quitting versus
moving schools, it was very much

835
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:30,680
the same process, I'd say with
the kids.

836
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:31,840
Definitely.
Right.

837
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:32,480
Next question.
Ready.

838
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,960
Yeah, back to Tom.
He's It's the running joke

839
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,800
you've explained at the start.
The running joke guys, this is

840
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,480
the running joke that's so funny
because I explained it.

841
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,160
Such a good joke.
I love that the joke is that

842
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,400
Tom's asking another question.
Tom's asking another question.

843
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,600
Yeah, we put the effort in and I
thought, you know, you know, put

844
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,240
the effort in.
But he did so many I thought I

845
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:49,680
can't not use some of these.
That's fine.

846
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,800
And then being it explains how
it's a running joke, but that's

847
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:52,720
fine.
Whatever.

848
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:53,560
Dylan.
Wait.

849
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,000
It's Tom again.
It's Yeah.

850
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,640
Thank you.
That's the reaction I was over

851
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,040
before that's.
A funny running.

852
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,800
Joke.
So Tom said Shut up, Dylan.

853
00:31:59,960 --> 00:32:02,280
He didn't.
Which mythical creature would

854
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,120
make the most effective TA and
why?

855
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,320
Aslan, Aslan, the line.
As what?

856
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:09,840
From Narnia.
Ultimate wisdom, Yeah.

857
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,600
Representing Jesus Christ, our
Saviour.

858
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,280
Oh Lord, Yeah, Aslan would be.
Imagine having Aslan.

859
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,600
Hello, get on with your work
you.

860
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,040
Thought I'm I'm more shocked at
how quickly you came up with.

861
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,720
I admire him, I admire he's
firm, he's fair.

862
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,920
I reckon he have a stern word
with a kid and the baby manager

863
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,640
would be sick.
Imagine, imagine being in a

864
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,440
class trying to teach and
they're being a bit noisy, a bit

865
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,120
chatty.
You go class, just look at

866
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:40,240
Aslan, a massive liar.
I think you should be quite a

867
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,240
kid because and Aslan's just
they're going.

868
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,440
Jaws and Godzilla are doing.
That they're fighting, but

869
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,640
Aslan's just in the corner going
silence.

870
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,680
They'd be quiet immediately.
Yeah, yeah.

871
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,200
I don't know if it tops Medusa
because that's where I was

872
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,240
going.
Right, OK, right.

873
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:54,320
Go on.
Think about it.

874
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,520
They're not.
They're not on the same level.

875
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,640
But go on, are they not?
Because one of them, one of

876
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,960
them's a lion and a little bit
scary, one of them can literally

877
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,320
turn you into stone if you're
doing the wrong thing.

878
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:03,560
Yeah.
So that only worked once,

879
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,000
wouldn't it?
Well, it only worked once.

880
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,000
Turn them back.
That's not I turn them.

881
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,360
Sorry, that's not famously part
of Medusa's skills that you've

882
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:11,000
made that bit.
Up.

883
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,160
We need another mythical
creature.

884
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,520
In this example, the teacher can
turn them back if they could,

885
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:15,800
yeah.
Fall apart, isn't it?

886
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,880
Yeah, on the pile immediately.
Good threat though, isn't it?

887
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:19,880
Is it a good threat?
Yeah.

888
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,080
Is it a good threat that you
either never, ever follow

889
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,160
through with so it would
immediately say yeah, or you do?

890
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:26,400
Yeah.
And you've got a real safeguard.

891
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,280
Make sure.
Yeah, you you permanently turn a

892
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:29,560
child.
Family child into stone.

893
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,600
Yeah, maybe doing it once you
get the class.

894
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,680
Yeah, Aslan's a good idea, I
reckon as a Yeah, you know, but

895
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,000
juice is a stupid suggestion.
I don't know.

896
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:38,520
That wasn't me.
It was Tom that thought, that

897
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,600
one.
Yeah, How good is that though?

898
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,800
I I challenge anyone, it's kind
of better as a Aslan.

899
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,200
A mythical creature.
Unbelievable.

900
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,000
Who's your teaching assistant?
Miss Jones.

901
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,160
Who's yours?
As Lander Lion.

902
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,760
Like come.
There's no better.

903
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,000
He knows everything.
He's the ultimate moral judge of

904
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,760
character.
He's fair, he's firm.

905
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,040
He sacrifices himself.
He would take with the the SLT

906
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,240
walked in and the kids were off
task.

907
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,600
It was me and he'd sacrificed
himself.

908
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,280
He'd still come back.
Comes back later on.

909
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,120
Brilliant.
The ultimate teaching assistant.

910
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:13,520
It's even him or the goat boy.
Yeah, keep trying to say yeah,

911
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,440
the goat.
The goat, the goat, the Tumnus.

912
00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:18,360
The Tumnus, I said.
Why was he better than us?

913
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,840
Oh, he's a goat boy, He.
Sum that up, he'd bring the

914
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,440
bands like Mr Poppy and
Nativity.

915
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,480
Imagine Aslan and Mr Tumnus
running a class.

916
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,320
Oh God.
It's me and you, isn't it

917
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:30,040
really?
Yeah, it is.

918
00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:30,679
Yeah.
I'm.

919
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,320
I'm Aslan.
Aslan, I'm Aslam.

920
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,040
You're a little goat boy.
Yeah, sure.

921
00:34:34,159 --> 00:34:35,679
Goat boy can't do anything
right.

922
00:34:35,679 --> 00:34:37,960
Next one, back to a serious one.
Not sure anything he's been that

923
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,520
serious but here we go from
Tegan.

924
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,320
Best advice for trainee
teachers.

925
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:45,239
I'm third year of four at NTU
and panicking ahead of a 12 week

926
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,920
placement in January.
OK, let's do 1 clear, concise

927
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:49,920
one each.
We've talked about this a lot

928
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:51,920
before.
If I had a student teacher in

929
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,480
front of me, Tegan, if you were
still there and you're saying

930
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,600
what's my advice, I would say
plunge.

931
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,160
Oh, this is hard to put into
one.

932
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:00,360
I'm going to trump it into one
sentence.

933
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:05,440
Go for it.
Know your rights and give

934
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,280
exactly what you want to above
that without doing my sentence.

935
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,480
OK so just to just to really
clarify, no one understand

936
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,600
exactly what your working rights
literally are as a teacher

937
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,080
because that's important.
And then whatever you are

938
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,880
willing to plunge yourself into
and do extra and go up and

939
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:23,880
beyond whilst you're still
training and learning and

940
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,040
getting to getting used to it,
do that as well.

941
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:31,000
Yeah, basically just being aware
of the difference between you're

942
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,400
not just being coerced into
doing tonnes of things.

943
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:33,400
You have no idea why you're
doing it.

944
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,040
You just seem to be working 15
hours a day.

945
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,240
Yeah, you're actively saying
this is what I'm doing as part

946
00:35:37,240 --> 00:35:38,160
of the agreement.
Yeah.

947
00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:40,200
And this is what I'm doing extra
because I want to develop.

948
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,360
And, and I think that's really
important, especially early in

949
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,560
your career, because I would
never, ever, ever say to someone

950
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,360
early in their career not to
throw themselves into something

951
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,080
because I think it's a really
good way of learning the ropes.

952
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,040
And it helped me immensely.
It made me a better teacher

953
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,040
quickly.
And at the time I wanted to do

954
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,080
it, it was the perfect
combination of of of putting in

955
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:56,960
all those extra hours, wanting
to go above and beyond.

956
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,360
I didn't quite know my rights.
And that took me a while to

957
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:00,880
learn.
And I kind of got used to the

958
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,760
point I was like, actually, wait
a minute, This is just taking

959
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,440
the Mick a little bit because
there are points where I want to

960
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,720
maybe pull something back that I
felt like I couldn't, but I

961
00:36:08,720 --> 00:36:11,040
absolutely could.
But I still wanted to go to the

962
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:12,920
cross countries at the weekend.
I still wanted to run a football

963
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,320
team.
I still wanted to leave maths.

964
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,600
I still want to do all this
stuff, not necessarily getting

965
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,440
the monetary payment for it
right there and then, but I

966
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,480
wanted to do at the time and it
helped my career in the long

967
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:22,640
run.
So that's all I would say to

968
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,160
people is go have your eyes wide
open.

969
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,880
You've got a placement.
Yeah, You're not being paid.

970
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,520
You're there to learn, know what
you need to do, and should be

971
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,080
entitled to.
Yeah.

972
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,960
Well, you get 30% non contact
time.

973
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,240
That's vital.
Non contact time doesn't mean

974
00:36:37,240 --> 00:36:39,120
you go home.
Non contact time means that you

975
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,680
can go and watch other teachers
go and do that, utilise it, know

976
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,600
your rights, know what you need
to do to get better.

977
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:45,720
Enjoy it, throw yourself into
it.

978
00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:48,240
It's going to be tough, but give
it a go.

979
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,200
And if you don't like it after a
year, go into a different

980
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,720
profession.
Yeah, but it sounds like, you

981
00:36:53,720 --> 00:36:56,480
know, 3-3 years into a four year
course, you kind of know what

982
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:57,400
you're doing.
You're a bit nervous.

983
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:58,640
Throw yourself into it.
Yeah.

984
00:36:58,840 --> 00:36:59,760
What about you?
Good advice.

985
00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:02,440
I think mine's along the lines
of like you're when you're

986
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,360
training to be a teacher and
even the first few years after

987
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,920
that, you're very much bombarded
with here's 900 things you need

988
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,200
to do to be a really good
teacher and you're with the idea

989
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:10,320
of like you're going to master
this.

990
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,640
Firstly, no one masters teaching
ever really, but certainly Dylan

991
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:15,800
did.
After as I master.

992
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,320
One week of first place as I
was, as I was in the background,

993
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:19,640
doing it all for you.
Probably.

994
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,800
Lazy, lazy goat boy.
But know that you're bombarded,

995
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,960
right?
What you My tip to you is to

996
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,320
prioritise what you actually
want to work on.

997
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:29,640
You can sit there.
I would do this.

998
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,720
I would write down the 10 things
that I feel like I'm being

999
00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:34,160
bombarded with.
I need to work on this behaviour

1000
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:35,400
management.
I need to work on how I develop

1001
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,440
relationships with the children.
I need to work on my curriculum.

1002
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:38,760
I need to work on all of these
things.

1003
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,600
Basically all of teaching.
All of teaching, right?

1004
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,840
But don't overwhelm yourself
with this ideal expectation of

1005
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,480
I'm going to do all these things
by the end of my placement

1006
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:47,920
because that's what I have to do
to be a good teacher.

1007
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,840
Now.
You don't work on one thing at a

1008
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,520
time.
Write it down, say this is my

1009
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:52,760
priority.
Maybe even for this whole

1010
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,720
placement, you have like a list
of three, your top priority.

1011
00:37:55,720 --> 00:37:57,520
And if you met you feel that
you've done that, you'll work on

1012
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,160
these other two things because
you will continue working on

1013
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,600
these for years and years and
years in your actual career.

1014
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,520
There's definitely a feeling
when you're training of I need

1015
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,680
to be completely done and ready
by the time my training is

1016
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:10,640
finished.
No, you don't.

1017
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,400
You need to be at a certain
threshold where you can maintain

1018
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,120
and teach a class by yourself
and do the job appropriately.

1019
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,480
But you always work on things.
So just prioritise, calm

1020
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:20,880
yourself down a little.
If you're anything like me, I

1021
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,000
just overwhelmed myself all the
time and think of what you'd

1022
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,360
like to prioritise.
Work on that alone.

1023
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,160
Yeah, that's good.
And, and, and what I'll add to

1024
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:29,800
your point is to work with your
mentor on that.

1025
00:38:30,240 --> 00:38:32,360
Your mentor's usually in a
really good position to say

1026
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,240
sure, they might think of seven
things you could work on, but

1027
00:38:35,240 --> 00:38:37,120
talk to your mentor about what
your priorities then.

1028
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:38,280
For sure.
Yeah, definitely.

1029
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:39,680
Right, Dylan, we're going to do
one last question.

1030
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,400
I'm going to wrap this up with a
final one from can you guess who

1031
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:43,240
it's from?
Oh, is.

1032
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:44,880
That bloody running.
It's a running joke.

1033
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:46,200
Don't make me laugh.
It's a running joke.

1034
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:46,800
Come on.
Can you get?

1035
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:47,800
It's Tom.
It's Tom.

1036
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,760
It's a bloody Tom.
That running joke is so.

1037
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:51,400
Funny.
Oh dear.

1038
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:51,960
So here.
We go.

1039
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,600
How do you come up with?
Them I honestly, honestly, yeah,

1040
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,560
I think you need to leave me to
write these episodes a bit more,

1041
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,120
he said.
If Teach Fleet Repeat was made

1042
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:03,200
into a film, who would be cast
to play you guys?

1043
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:06,720
Obviously, because it mine's
easy, isn't it?

1044
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:07,840
Yeah.
Top cruise because it.

1045
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:09,600
Oh yeah, I was thinking Vin
Diesel.

1046
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,480
No.
Woody Harrelson.

1047
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:14,720
Woody Harrelson?
That's brilliant.

1048
00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:16,120
It would be.
That is so funny it.

1049
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:21,440
Would be I've I've been told so
if you're a man with quite short

1050
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,200
dark hair and a bit of a beard,
OK, go on.

1051
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,240
You get told that you look like
a million different.

1052
00:39:25,240 --> 00:39:26,400
Consideries go on, who's the
best?

1053
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,120
One, the main one, doesn't even
have a beard.

1054
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:29,440
Who is it?
Who do you think?

1055
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,960
What would you say?
Matt Damon?

1056
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,800
Matt Damon?
I've.

1057
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,200
Been told you look nothing like
Matt Damon, no.

1058
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:38,400
You've been I've been told,
Mike.

1059
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:39,760
Short, short brown hair.
What?

1060
00:39:40,240 --> 00:39:42,840
Yep, literally been told in my
use.

1061
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,480
I was told you're like Chris
Pine the the Christian star.

1062
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,720
Trek you are.
When when that person said that

1063
00:39:47,720 --> 00:39:49,560
I was like, I'm clinging on to
that.

1064
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,000
Take it for the rest of my.
Life.

1065
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,480
I would have said someone like
Anne Hathaway for you.

1066
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,080
You know, I think it's more
appropriate.

1067
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:55,920
Christian.
More hair.

1068
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:56,920
Christian Bale.
Yeah.

1069
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:58,440
Christian Bale?
I don't know.

1070
00:39:58,920 --> 00:39:59,880
I don't know.
Yeah.

1071
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,360
Anne Hathaway and Tom Hanks.
Yeah. tom-tom.

1072
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,400
Tom Hanks is a good one, Tom.
I'd be honoured.

1073
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,640
Tom Hanks and Woody Harrelson.
Tom Hanks and Woody Harrelson

1074
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,280
doing the teaching podcast.
Matthew McConaughey.

1075
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:10,920
Matthew McConaughey and Woody
Harrelson.

1076
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,880
Because they're friends anyway.
True Detective there.

1077
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:13,200
You go.
Yeah.

1078
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,760
OK, Matthew.
McConaughey and Woody Harrelson,

1079
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:16,600
yeah.
I was going to try and do

1080
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,040
Matthew McConaughey impression,
but I can't.

1081
00:40:19,240 --> 00:40:22,360
I can just do it from from
before.

1082
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,960
Yeah, OK.
Leonardo DiCaprio, then in your

1083
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:25,880
dreams.
Big upgrade.

1084
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,000
Yeah, I.
Think your girlfriend older than

1085
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,880
25?
That's hilarious.

1086
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,440
You can't.
Yeah, but yeah.

1087
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,120
Was glossing over the fact if
Teach City was made into a film

1088
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:36,920
box office flop.
Yeah.

1089
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,600
What develop?
I'm Hayden.

1090
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,160
I've got an idea.
We're going to save education

1091
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,480
one episode of a podcast at a
time.

1092
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:45,960
Yeah, what?
What is the film?

1093
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:50,000
What happens in this film?
It's it's just all the 160

1094
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:54,200
episodes of this podcast
back-to-back one big show, 5

1095
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,560
episode 30 odd when I have a
child and we go insane.

1096
00:40:57,720 --> 00:40:59,440
Anyway, should we wrap that up?
Let's wrap it up.

1097
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,240
OK, cool guys.
Thanks for watching, listening,

1098
00:41:02,240 --> 00:41:04,080
whatever it is you're doing and
whatever platform you're on.

1099
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,800
Do you know what you could do?
Just leave as a review for gods?

1100
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,960
Honestly, I've asked nicely so
much and they go up.

1101
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,840
Oh, thousands of listeners, but
hundreds of reviews.

1102
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:13,800
Does that make sense to you?
No.

1103
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:16,040
It doesn't.
If you don't, you keep burping

1104
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,200
in the bloody mic.
No one wants that.

1105
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,120
Do you want that?
Keep burping anyway, see ya.
