00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,680
Hello everyone, Michael bad to
another episode of Teacher
2
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:02,920
repeat.
My name is Dylan and my name is
3
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,960
Hayden, and today we're going to
be going through those all Timer
4
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,760
1 liners from people who just
hate teachers.
5
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,480
Am I going to?
Is this going to boil my blood?
6
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,480
Maybe, but we're going to do it
in a fun way where we read out
7
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,600
what a typical teacher hater
troll might say, OK, take the
8
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,040
piss out of them.
Yeah.
9
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:20,480
And why it's funny.
Yeah.
10
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,960
And then actually try and
dismantle it and why it's just
11
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,800
embedded in nonsense because you
probably can think of a few
12
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,800
already.
Can we can we rate them on how
13
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:28,840
annoying they actually are as
well?
14
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,600
Yeah, OK, let's do that.
Just like just how how, Yeah.
15
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,640
How boiled your blood gets when
you actually hear it.
16
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,400
In real life, what's the scale
like?
17
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,080
Not.
Not to boil not.
18
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:40,680
Not 100, not 100, not 100,
Julie.
19
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,120
Not to 1000.
Not a mathematician, that's.
20
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:44,560
Really precise.
That's good, because then we.
21
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:45,800
Yeah, we.
Can on a scale of naughty to
22
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,320
1000?
And we've got about 1000 things
23
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,560
here.
So we can, No, we've got about
24
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,920
10, OK.
So someone can count as we go
25
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:51,880
through, All right.
Yeah.
26
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:53,760
So they have to be all multiples
of of 100.
27
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:54,080
Yeah.
Because.
28
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,800
There's 1000.
So what we'll do is we'll read
29
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,400
out each one.
We'll start with that rating
30
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,320
then yeah, OK, I've got
reaction, all that, and then
31
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,360
like you said, we'll unpick it.
So the first one, those who can
32
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:08,720
do, those who can't teach.
Look my my got guttural reaction
33
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,240
to this is on the scale of
nought to 1000, this is honestly
34
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,200
like 112.
Honestly like 112 roughly
35
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,680
people.
Will take nothing.
36
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,240
That's so crazy girl.
I was thinking 100.
37
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,480
And 11 genuinely, yeah, it
doesn't.
38
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:21,920
It doesn't actually annoy me
that much.
39
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,760
No, because I just it maybe it's
because I'm this is true.
40
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,760
I can't do.
That's why I I can't teach.
41
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,760
That's why I quit.
Oh man, no, the reason it
42
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,880
doesn't get me up is because
it's so embedded in like I heard
43
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,880
that my whole life.
Like when I hear that now, I
44
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,600
just think it's banter.
It's not even banter though,
45
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,040
because some people mean it.
Like it's just, it's nothing.
46
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,080
It's not, it's not even funny.
Like I'm just like it's nothing
47
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,040
to me because it's just, it's,
it's coming from a place of
48
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,760
complete lack of understanding
about what teaching is like
49
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,600
those who can't do teachers.
Like what do you think?
50
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,240
Do you think we don't do?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
51
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,600
Like, like I got you there.
You can't do so you must teach.
52
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,560
What do you think we do?
I think, I think it stems from
53
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,680
more like secondary school
subject specialists where we go,
54
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,240
ohh, you couldn't do you
couldn't do your job in history,
55
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,800
so, so you gotta teach you,
haven't you?
56
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,480
You weren't a very good
historian.
57
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,960
Well, won't getting the stonks
in on the history job.
58
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,400
Yeah, yeah.
And, and, and I always hear
59
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,960
people say this, and I'd love if
anyone here listening is a
60
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,040
secondary school business
studies because that always
61
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,520
happens.
Yeah, always happens.
62
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,120
Someone else be sat in business
study, there'll be some bro
63
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,280
podcaster who's turned out to
have some kind of success in in
64
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,040
wealth and business, etcetera,
who then goes on and was like,
65
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,640
yeah, when I was at school, my
business studies tutor, He he
66
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:49,120
never had a business of his own.
Why was he teaching business
67
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,480
studies?
I was like, OK, so, so, so
68
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,880
you're, you're kind of logic
here is that no one should ever
69
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,160
be a business studies teacher
because if they're already good
70
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,040
at it, they wouldn't be doing
it.
71
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,800
So you wouldn't have had a
business studies sense like what
72
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,120
you've caught.
Of course you need some people
73
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,280
to teach some stuff.
It it just it seems like
74
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,040
nonsense to me.
Like my food tech teacher never
75
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,120
had a restaurant which means
they can't possibly teach me how
76
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,560
to cook.
It doesn't really make.
77
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,120
Sense yeah, it's it's hard
because there is some kind of
78
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,000
like the analogy is probably
more if your business teachers
79
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,880
are like if you're if you're a
business studies teacher has
80
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:27,120
never had them and ran a
business like I do think there
81
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,040
is some point to that.
Well, in comparison to a
82
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,240
business studies teacher who
maybe had some experience in
83
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,840
business.
Before, yeah, yeah, exactly.
84
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,000
Yeah.
Because like to to me it's not
85
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,680
equivalent to a food tech
teacher having a restaurant.
86
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,560
Yeah, to me that's equivalent to
a food tech teacher not knowing
87
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,560
how to bake a a cake.
Yeah, sure.
88
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,120
Like it's a very fundamental
level.
89
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,960
And I'd be like, well, yeah,
actually, as a food tech
90
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,280
teacher, you should know how to
make an omelette because you're
91
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,960
teaching kids how to make.
I I don't think the comparison
92
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,600
you're making is bad at all
because we literally put people
93
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,960
on a pedestal who come into
primary school teaching who have
94
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,040
had a career before, no?
No, no, I'm being, no, I'm being
95
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,360
really specific about what they
are specialist in teaching.
96
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,560
Yeah, there is a certain level
of what they have to have done
97
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,120
in that field, I think to be a
suitable teacher.
98
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,800
So I'm not talking about going
to primary UK.
99
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,880
You were, you were a chartered
surveyor, then you're going to
100
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,040
primary school.
That's not what I'm talking
101
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,680
about.
I'm talking specifically about
102
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,760
if you're a food tech teacher,
you should know a basic level
103
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,000
of, of, of how to cook food.
Sure, right.
104
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,440
If you're a maths teacher, you
should obviously know a certain
105
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,720
level how to do maths, right.
And if for any subject, there
106
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,360
should be a certain level that
that you're at and for business
107
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:28,360
studies like it, it seems to
genuinely fair enough that to
108
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,480
have been involved in them and
run some kind of business or
109
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,640
done something seems to be like
a fair like, OK, I'll throw it
110
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,400
to you.
Do you think a business studies
111
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,520
teacher can never ever have ran
a business in their life and
112
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,200
still teach it well?
Yeah, yeah.
113
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:43,920
That's the thing.
That's right.
114
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,240
That's where I think it falls
down a little bit.
115
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,200
I don't think the analogy for
business studies is any
116
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,600
different from any other
subject, genuinely.
117
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,440
So so you so you think that a
food tech teacher can never have
118
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,080
cooked an omelette before and
still be a food tech teacher
119
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,200
because that then the analogy is
not falling apart?
120
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,680
No, there's a basic level of way
you need to.
121
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,920
Be a basic level.
Yeah, so your basic level is
122
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,000
lower than having.
That's it.
123
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,040
I don't think the basic level is
you have to run a business fine.
124
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,880
I think you can conceptually
understand how a business works
125
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,040
and and teach business studies
to 14 year olds.
126
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,440
So if you just.
Conceptually know how to make an
127
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:13,920
omelette, but you've never
actually done one before.
128
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,080
You can teach kids how to make.
No, I think the bar's different
129
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:16,600
for that one.
OK.
130
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:17,440
I mean, I do think, I do think
so.
131
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,480
I think the bar probably is
different for for every single
132
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:20,480
one.
I just don't think business is
133
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,040
like different.
I don't think whatever the bar
134
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,160
is for food tech, I don't think
it's like proportionally that
135
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,520
different to whatever the bar is
for business.
136
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:27,120
Do you know what I mean?
I.
137
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,400
Just think.
So what's the equivalent of
138
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,840
cooking and knowing how to to
make?
139
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:33,680
OK, cooking is like, OK you you
can conceptually understand
140
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,240
cooking what you want.
You do have to have at least
141
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,000
done it once so that you can
model it to the kids.
142
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,440
Correct.
Why is that not the same for
143
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:39,920
business?
Because I don't think you need
144
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,640
to have run a business like
that's that's a that's a shoot.
145
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:43,600
So you.
Don't need to have made.
146
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,360
Cooking a OK, cooking an
omelette is significantly,
147
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,560
significantly simpler than
setting up and running a
148
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:49,920
business.
Yeah, Like, they're not the
149
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:50,840
same.
They're not equivalent.
150
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,520
Yeah, I don't know.
The restaurant thing is.
151
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,080
No, no it's not.
The the restaurant thing is the
152
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,040
same.
They have a business is quite
153
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,360
easy.
Not really.
154
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,440
Like it's easy to do OK, OK,
it's easy to go on comedy's
155
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,440
house and put in a random name
and buy a company name.
156
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,520
But like actually running a
business is not the.
157
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,720
Same as cooking, I think.
The restaurant thing is probably
158
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,880
was was closer to the analysis.
No, because the restaurant is a
159
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,880
business that's the same.
That's not to do with a food
160
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,640
tech thing.
You're missing my analogy here.
161
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,760
The exact thing that qualifies
you to do that job as a 50.
162
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,120
Nothing to do running a
restaurant.
163
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,520
Here's a better analogy then.
Cooking is what?
164
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,720
You have to have been a chef to
be a food tech teacher at some
165
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,680
point in your career?
Yeah, I don't think that's true.
166
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:22,960
Fair.
I think you can have just done
167
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,240
some cooking at home.
Yeah, as long as just a business
168
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:26,360
home.
Yeah, literally.
169
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,320
So running a small business,
maybe that, but not even that.
170
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,920
You didn't need to run a small
business, right.
171
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,400
You could watch some videos.
You don't.
172
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:33,680
You could talk to your mates on
business.
173
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,840
It's different.
I'm just, I'm trying to get,
174
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:37,160
you're trying to find an
equivalence here.
175
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,400
Yeah, Yeah.
And you're saying, yeah, just
176
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,000
cook at home.
So I'm saying yeah, run a
177
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,080
business from home.
Yeah, yeah.
178
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,680
But OK.
In the same way of math, it's
179
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,160
like you have to know how to do
the equation before you do it.
180
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,880
You don't have to have any
genuinely any actual role in a
181
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,120
in a like a certified you.
Need to know how to do them and
182
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,880
understand the process.
Yeah, you need to.
183
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,240
And do it and be able to do.
It, yeah, but I think there's
184
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,200
some things.
You can solve.
185
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,840
The problem some things you can.
You can understand how to do
186
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:00,800
them completely, conceptually,
Absolutely.
187
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,320
That's it.
But as a teacher, do you not
188
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,960
think the bar is that you should
be able to do them?
189
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,920
And it's not just conceptual.
You should be able to do them,
190
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,680
but I think you can prove that
conceptually for some things.
191
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,120
OK, so so it sounds like you
have a different bar genuinely
192
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,200
for all the other subjects apart
from like business studies?
193
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,680
No, no, no, a little bit
because.
194
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,280
With history, for example,
right, if, if you're a history
195
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,440
teacher, you should be able to
look at lots of different
196
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,520
sources, compile an argument,
write an essay or a
197
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,280
dissertation.
Yeah, you should be able to do
198
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,560
that.
You should be able to not, not
199
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,360
just conceptually.
You don't have to have done it.
200
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,320
No, I think you do have to have
done it.
201
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,800
If you're a history teacher, you
have to have done that yourself
202
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,000
And and walked the walk before
you expect children who are
203
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,200
younger than you to do the same
thing.
204
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,440
Yeah, of course you do.
Yeah, yeah, Yeah, you definitely
205
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:41,480
have to.
Of course you do.
206
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,200
Like if if my if I went into
school, my history teacher
207
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,720
hadn't written a dissertation on
a history degree or or had had
208
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,960
not done any writing themselves
or any actual proof of
209
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,600
understanding sources, citing
them, putting them into an
210
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,320
argument, and writing long long
essays, I'd say you shouldn't be
211
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,400
a history.
Teacher, OK, so they'll do that
212
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,440
in the degree.
So that's fine, you'll be fine.
213
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:00,640
OK.
But do you think they have to
214
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,040
have out in the field, have
experience of done that as well?
215
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,960
Or do you think doing it in a
degree like a business person
216
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,760
would, they'll do a business
degree to teach business.
217
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,440
Do not think that the degree
gives them the suitable level of
218
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,480
experience of of of the doing.
Sure.
219
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,640
But I right, but in the in the
degree of doing, but if you did
220
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,560
business studies as a degree,
you've done the business, you
221
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,840
would have done stuff that is
equivalent to running a
222
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:21,840
business.
You would have.
223
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,640
You would have learned
everything you need to learn
224
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,520
about business itself and done
it.
225
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:26,720
Good, that's fine, you get it.
But.
226
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:27,920
They have done it then, so they
have done it, yeah.
227
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,200
Yeah, because we've, I think
the, I think it was fair to
228
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,280
establish that you have to have
had the degree to teach the
229
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,679
subject anyway because that's
just not that's.
230
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,039
Not true at the minute.
Is it not?
231
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:37,679
No, that's the whole point In
secondary school, so many
232
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,520
teachers, they're not got a
specialist in their subject.
233
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:40,760
Yes.
Bat around.
234
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,200
So.
So my point here is there just
235
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,080
has to be minimum.
And again, look, there are loads
236
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,240
for the business studies teacher
listening right now.
237
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,560
They're like, what?
I've never run a business.
238
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:49,680
Yeah.
Are you sure you can be great at
239
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:51,560
your job, Right.
Because you've gone through the
240
00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:53,880
qualifications and the levels
and you've done it.
241
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,160
You've still done it.
Yeah.
242
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,160
You've still done the equivalent
of yeah, OK, Running a business
243
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,800
means you have to do XYZ.
And I'm pretty sure on your
244
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,800
business studies degree you
would have learned about XYZ and
245
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:03,920
written essays about it and done
it.
246
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,240
So let's go all the way back
then, because my whole point of
247
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,440
this was business studies is not
different to other subjects.
248
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:09,720
Yeah.
So all that food tech then like
249
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:10,080
what?
What?
250
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,320
What do you, what's the
equivalent?
251
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,720
You don't do a degree in food
tech.
252
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,360
Well, I think there is some sort
of qualification.
253
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,240
A lot of people go to college.
I know my sister went to college
254
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:19,520
and got qualification cooking
and they and they did and they
255
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,560
did practical, practical cooking
because that was part of that.
256
00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:23,280
So what I was trying to say was
the bar is different for each
257
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,240
one in terms of the things you
might do.
258
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,320
Like it looks different, but
like in reality, like you don't
259
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,000
like.
For cooking, you go and do your
260
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,840
degree, you do cooking.
So I'm for business.
261
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,160
You should do the business
stuff.
262
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,600
Yeah, but you'll get it through
your degrees.
263
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,360
But you should still do it.
Business studies don't have to
264
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,880
put on a pedestal of like, no, I
never said that you have to have
265
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,000
now run a business.
You did.
266
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,560
Yeah, you have to now run a
business yourself.
267
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:44,520
No, none of these jobs you need
to.
268
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,120
It's good if you have.
Yeah, it's good.
269
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,120
But you don't need to have been
a professional chef.
270
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,920
You don't need to have been a
historian working for some
271
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,200
historian.
I don't know the historical
272
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,720
charter.
You know, you can like the the
273
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,840
baseline qualification for that
role is is suitable.
274
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,800
And I completely it's a
different argument to say that
275
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,000
sometimes teachers are put into
roles where they don't have that
276
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,960
qualification.
That's just across the board, I
277
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:08,600
think, a problem.
Yeah.
278
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,480
No, no, no.
But what I was not saying, I was
279
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,960
not making the point that the
the qualification for the job is
280
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,240
not enough, right?
I was.
281
00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:17,960
The point here is I'm saying
people do jobs without that
282
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,040
qualification.
So I'm just making it a neutral
283
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,440
thing.
Now whether you've done the
284
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,280
qualification or not, there are
certain things I think you have
285
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,960
to have at at a certain level to
be a teacher in that exact as a
286
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,560
specialist in.
Degree, school, and that
287
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:31,600
comparatively.
Right.
288
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,200
And I'm just saying I just, I
don't think they are like, I
289
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:36,800
just think that's what I'm
saying like in terms of business
290
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,800
studies, whether you've done the
degree or not, there has to be a
291
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,320
certain level where you have
done the things you're preaching
292
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,480
about.
You have literally done them and
293
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,360
understood them and and
practised them.
294
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,160
And that's why if you haven't
got, of course, if you do a
295
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,520
history degree, you've done all
the stuff I said you need to do.
296
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,680
But if you haven't, I think you
have to be able to prove that
297
00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:57,160
you can do that before you're
you're good enough to be a
298
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,920
history teacher.
So that's why I was 112.
299
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,200
Yeah, sorry, back to the
episode.
300
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,720
I forgot A roll of podcast
those.
301
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,200
Yeah.
So those who can do.
302
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,080
Yeah, those who can't go and get
a business degree teach
303
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,400
business.
I've got nothing against by the
304
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,480
way, I'm just going to say right
now this is great, but I'm just
305
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,160
saying that that's kind of where
it comes from.
306
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,840
That's the ultimate version is I
see a lot of business, which is
307
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,720
yeah, to be fair, that's that's
in particular 1 and I and I
308
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,080
think that there's a reason why
it's that one in particular,
309
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,640
because if you know how to run a
really like, you know, if you
310
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,360
know, yeah, yeah, yeah, same
thing.
311
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:30,520
It makes it one.
You say.
312
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,880
It's like, yeah, it.
And let me be really clear now
313
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,480
as well, it is a different role.
And that's why we still need
314
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,880
teachers to do it, right?
Completely, completely.
315
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,160
Because you can still learn
about something without being
316
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,880
excelling in that role.
Yeah.
317
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,640
And that's where it comes from.
It's like, well, if you were the
318
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:45,840
best at that, you wouldn't be
teaching it.
319
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,480
That's true.
If you were the best at running
320
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:49,920
a business, you wouldn't be
doing business studies.
321
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,200
Yeah.
If you were the best at teaching
322
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,720
cooking, you wouldn't be
teaching it in a secondary
323
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,640
school, you'd be.
You'd be off that.
324
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,080
You'd be off teaching chefs how
to cook.
325
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:57,640
Yeah, Yeah, right.
If you weren't the best
326
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,960
mathematician, you wouldn't be
in a secondary school teaching
327
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:01,760
maths.
You'd be off applying your maths
328
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:02,640
to something.
Yeah.
329
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,280
So.
So there is a semblance of truth
330
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,840
here.
I just think it completely
331
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,640
disregards the whole profession.
That's really important that we
332
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,680
need.
And as a teacher myself, that's
333
00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:14,560
why I just like it doesn't even
know it.
334
00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:15,640
Just ignore it.
I'm just like, yeah, yeah,
335
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:16,880
you're an idiot.
They're different things.
336
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,600
Exactly that, 100% I, I think
that's really true.
337
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,240
The semblance of understanding
why that, why that analogy came
338
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,280
about.
But ultimately, like, some
339
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,880
people also just want to teach.
Yeah.
340
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,640
And it's like, and to
completely, like, make them feel
341
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,680
like crap over this.
It's just so like some people
342
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:32,360
legitimately are like, I want to
go and get this degree because I
343
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,240
really want to be a teacher and
I like this subject.
344
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:35,200
I'm going to marry them
together.
345
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,680
And I want to teach that subject
to kids.
346
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,240
And like, that's completely
legitimate.
347
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,560
Like we shouldn't just some.
Of my favourite teachers were my
348
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:44,080
food tech teachers and I'd never
dream of even questioning them
349
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,840
for a second because they were
with young children teaching
350
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,400
them how to cook, which is
what's an important life skill.
351
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,720
Yeah, it's vital.
Well, you're, if you're already
352
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,760
good, you'd be in the Michelin
star restaurant teaching the
353
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,040
chefs how to do it.
But they're not.
354
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,400
They're here because it's
helpful, so.
355
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,040
And, and, and also, I don't even
want to do that.
356
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,520
Yeah, exactly.
Some people it's legitimate as
357
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,840
well to be like, yeah, I
probably, it'd be, it would
358
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,840
actually be legitimate for
someone to be in a position
359
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,480
where it's like they are
actually qualified enough to do
360
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:06,520
that and they just don't want to
do it.
361
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:07,880
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And be like, that's not even
362
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,760
unheard of.
Like you could be good enough to
363
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:10,920
go and work that, but I don't
want to.
364
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,680
It's a horrendous environment.
I'd rather just be here
365
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,480
completely.
Anyway, next one ready.
366
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:15,040
Go on.
I'll do it.
367
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:21,200
I pay your salary, so I have
control and my point of view is
368
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,320
important.
And I pay your bloody salary.
369
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,640
So you listen to me, Mr I pay
your bloody salary.
370
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,440
Like a 300 for me is it?
I find it a little bit
371
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,160
triggering when it comes to the
context of all of the.
372
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,240
Stuff you just said.
I think just saying I pay your
373
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,320
salary is like is like.
Mine's mine's zero.
374
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,920
Yeah.
But OK, the whole context of
375
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:41,160
this is that the people teaching
so 703 for me. 703 yeah, really.
376
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,880
Why is it so high for you?
Because it's, it's such a sense
377
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,920
of entitlement, as if everyone
doesn't pay for everyone.
378
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,800
Yeah, as if for some reason,
because it's from taxpayer
379
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,760
money, like.
Oh, Now, therefore you're my
380
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,560
servant and you shall do exactly
what I say.
381
00:13:55,560 --> 00:13:56,600
No, I'm sorry.
I'm the specialist.
382
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,200
Shut up.
Doesn't matter where this comes
383
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:58,680
from.
Sure.
384
00:13:58,680 --> 00:14:00,080
Yeah, OK.
You pay great.
385
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,720
I could just pretend that my mum
pays for me and not you.
386
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,160
There you go.
I could walk into a shop and
387
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,480
spend £300 and then tell the
person exactly I pay your salary
388
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:10,680
because I contributed a tiny
amount of that salary.
389
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:12,480
That's my point.
That's exactly my point.
390
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,200
Because even in the private
sector, yes, everyone pays
391
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,240
someone's salary.
Yeah.
392
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,120
So your customers pay the
customer's always, right?
393
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,840
Yeah, but I'm pretty sure in
your own job as well, you get
394
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,560
annoyed when customers say that
to nonsense.
395
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,320
Yeah, that's similar, isn't it?
The customer was right.
396
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:26,880
And I pay your salary.
That's the same part.
397
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:28,800
Well, I'm a paying customer
here.
398
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,240
Sure.
Why don't you necking?
399
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,480
No, because you are wrong.
Still, I pay your salary.
400
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,880
What's your point?
Because the only point they make
401
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,960
when they say I pay your salary
is therefore you're below me.
402
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,360
Yeah, I pay your salary.
So you better wound your necking
403
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:40,520
and listen to what I've got to
say.
404
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,880
Because I pay your salary.
There's no no one's saying this
405
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,000
going.
I pay your salary.
406
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,760
That's brilliant.
That's nice, isn't it?
407
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,920
They're only doing this as a way
to try and belittle you.
408
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,520
Yeah.
And put them on a pedestal above
409
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,240
you.
So listen to me and then and and
410
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,800
then who says this to you if
someone says it's you from an
411
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,920
insurance company?
Well, yeah, I pay your salary,
412
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,760
mate.
I've got house insurance and car
413
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,520
insurance and home insurance.
Yeah, home and house insurance
414
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,480
double paying.
But yeah, I pay your salary as
415
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:07,640
well.
What's your point?
416
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,840
I'm paid to deliver a role as a
specialist.
417
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,480
Shut up.
Yeah, I'm not going to come into
418
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,160
your job and tell you how to do
the insurance.
419
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,400
Probably you do Probably.
If you're doing it really badly,
420
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,280
maybe I'll have an opinion, but
I also don't know that much
421
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:20,840
about insurance, so I'm going to
just leave it to you.
422
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,280
Yeah, it.
Seems like a scammer, don't it?
423
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,600
Yeah, I'm going to pay
insurance.
424
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,680
And if I ever want to take money
out, you're going to put my
425
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,040
insurance up massively to cover
the cost.
426
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,200
Oh, it's it sounds like I'm just
paying you money every month.
427
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,320
Yeah.
What we need to do is think of
428
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,600
comebacks for every single job
that's in the same line as that.
429
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,640
I pay a salary that's a do we
just need to have something?
430
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,760
Do you know what I mean?
Have you always wanted to be a
431
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,120
scam artist to an insurance
broker?
432
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:44,360
Don't really think that, by the
way.
433
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,280
So please don't get annoyed.
But like, I don't think it was.
434
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,160
I don't think people want to be
a scam artist, but I think
435
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:50,520
insurance.
Is no, I think they just enable
436
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,480
it through taking a salary from
them and get get get paid in
437
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,440
Commission.
Yeah, the more they RIP someone.
438
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,600
Off Well I think you enable left
woke beta male teachers.
439
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,360
You'll love something that's
coming up later.
440
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,600
Propaganda.
You'll love one of those.
441
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:04,720
We'll go.
Later in this.
442
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,200
All right, we'll stick around
for that one.
443
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,600
We're not going to.
Do it right now so in 10 months
444
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,760
you're hooked in.
I pay salary, piss off.
445
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,760
Yeah, bet 9.
Yeah, BET9700700. 3 isn't that
446
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:13,720
one?
Then how do you feel about this
447
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,200
one?
Go on, working 9:00 to 3:00 and
448
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,360
having every weekend off must be
wow nice.
449
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,040
It's lovely, thank you.
It's lovely.
450
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,320
And you pay it for me.
Yeah, crazy.
451
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,200
You only work.
For me, thanks for paying me.
452
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,360
I have to buddy work 8 till 5
and I don't get every weekend.
453
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:29,560
I don't get how many weeks
holiday do you?
454
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,120
Get Wait a minute, it sounds
like you would love teaching.
455
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,080
Yeah, yeah, come.
Along my God's a reaction
456
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,400
working night to free and having
every weekend off again.
457
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,960
Personally this doesn't annoy me
anymore because I just think
458
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:45,160
it's just complete nonsense.
To me this is like a 207 really.
459
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,120
It triggers me more.
You know, I think that's like
460
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,960
500 in the middle, really.
Maybe 501 go one side.
461
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,880
Yeah, 501.
Closer to complete mental
462
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,120
breakdown.
Yeah, yeah, I suppose because I
463
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,320
just, it really irritates me
that someone can have such a
464
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,440
misunderstanding of the role of
teaching and say it so
465
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,120
nonchalantly.
And I was like, shut up.
466
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,400
I just want to say shut up, you
know, what are you thick?
467
00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:07,400
That's what I want to say to
those people.
468
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:08,400
You can't because you've got to
come rude.
469
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:09,400
I can't have the podcast,
obviously.
470
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:10,480
To every single one of them.
Of course.
471
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:10,839
Of course.
Yeah.
472
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:11,839
Because you don't see them.
Yeah.
473
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,200
Just come down much later.
Exactly.
474
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,359
Feel like you're saying it to
What are you going to do 9 till
475
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,839
3 every weekend off?
Like, why are you making such a
476
00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:19,599
presumption?
Yeah.
477
00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:23,319
And also like it shows how
ignorant you are because
478
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:28,880
honestly, 10 seconds off just
looking into this first of all
479
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,360
shows you that no one's even
doing contact time 9 till three.
480
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,760
It's like half 8 till 3:15
anyway.
481
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:35,920
Oh, it's only 45 minutes I
thought.
482
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,440
Yeah, it just goes to show you
already wrong.
483
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,360
Even if it was just contact time
that teachers did, which isn't
484
00:17:40,360 --> 00:17:42,800
we can go into the whole thing.
You're just already wrong.
485
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,640
And it anyone who says something
like this doesn't actually care
486
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,680
about the truth.
They they can't care about the
487
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,240
truth because it would be so
easy to debunk what they're
488
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,360
saying as nonsense that if they
haven't debunked it themselves,
489
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,440
they don't care and they don't
want to know, which I think is
490
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,160
why I'm less triggered by it
because I'm just like, oh, you
491
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,480
are just a complete moron.
There is nothing we can do.
492
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,080
And when like what gets me as
some, as you know, we've got
493
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,360
social media now.
It's actually a Facebook
494
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:10,760
comment.
By the way, we've got like
495
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,440
55,000 followers on Facebook.
I don't go on Facebook.
496
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,680
So if you're from Facebook,
Hello, cheers.
497
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,880
Yeah, thank you.
It just cross posts but every
498
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,520
now and then I'll go on just to
check, just to see.
499
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:21,800
Yeah, what's going on in the
comments?
500
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,880
And there was a comment along
this line, but it was within,
501
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:26,960
there was like hundreds of
comments in this row we did.
502
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,920
And the vast majority of
obviously teachers going like,
503
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,600
it's ridiculous.
I, I get in at half seven every
504
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,760
day and leave at 5:00 and I
still have stuff to do in the
505
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,760
evening or at the weekend along
those lines of like, oh, a
506
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,880
person doing the job who's
experienced it, who's just
507
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,800
telling you what they do
hundreds of individual times on
508
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:43,480
their own.
Yeah.
509
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,560
And someone commented going, oh,
it's just nonsense.
510
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:46,800
I know a teacher only works
there.
511
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,200
It's 9 till three, Like, oh,
well, it's so easy.
512
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,480
Like what you're moaning about.
I'm like, there, there are
513
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,400
hundreds of examples as to why
you're wrong around this comment
514
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,800
that you put in and you still
hold on to it like, well, I
515
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,120
think this and I'm the main
character in life, aren't I?
516
00:19:02,120 --> 00:19:05,000
So what I say goes, you're wrong
and an idiot.
517
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:10,040
Yeah, people that use their
very, very limited pool of
518
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,200
examples of of anything to
justify their entire thought
519
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,480
process or something that is is
baffles me always.
520
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:16,800
Can I link this to another one
then?
521
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,840
Because this is another one that
we get, maybe we can rate it as
522
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,000
well.
But it's, it's very much linked
523
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,120
to what I've kind of gone on to
here.
524
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:23,800
Yeah, I know you a teacher who's
lazy, so you all must be.
525
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,440
That is it, isn't it my?
Brother's a teacher and he gets
526
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,920
in at 8 and leaves at 3:15 every
single day and doesn't do any
527
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,160
work.
OK.
528
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,720
That's do you know what it could
be true, yeah, but.
529
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:35,440
Probably.
Probably.
530
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:36,440
I'm sure.
Of course there'd be someone
531
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:37,080
like that.
Yeah.
532
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:38,840
Of.
Course, but then it's like, so
533
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,200
you're all lazy.
You know what you're moaning
534
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,080
about you.
Can do that or even not you're
535
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,080
all lazy.
So I don't know what you're all
536
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,120
doing wrong, right.
You could all do this right, but
537
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:50,040
as if the bar then gets to be
like that's too low in terms of
538
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,680
like I can always guarantee if
you're getting, if you're just
539
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,080
going in precisely for contact
time stuff's not getting done.
540
00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:00,520
I'm sorry, it's not, it's not.
I'd be blown away, someone said.
541
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,120
Someone show me a good example
of teacher really fulfilling
542
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:05,840
that full potential of their
role and doing those out is not
543
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:06,880
possible.
No, it's not.
544
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,320
That doesn't even do you know
what actually it goes against
545
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:10,600
the contract.
Yeah, you have to.
546
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,080
Because the contract literally
says directed time and
547
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,440
reasonable hours outside the
whole reasonable things where we
548
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,360
argue a lot.
Yeah, So we have to do
549
00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:18,480
something.
You've got to do something.
550
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:19,880
So that person's just not even.
They're just not.
551
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,400
You're glorifying someone just
not even doing the job properly.
552
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,800
Yeah, that's not doing us any
favours as teachers.
553
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,720
Yeah, let's not set the bar of
don't do the job properly,
554
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,480
right.
That's like saying, Oh my mate,
555
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,840
the worst insurance, he only
works from 9:00 to 11:00.
556
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,280
Yeah, his contract is 9 till
five.
557
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,040
He just decides to go home early
and using that as the bar to set
558
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,160
to all other insurance brokers.
Like, yeah, he does 2 hours a
559
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,200
day.
What are you lot doing get?
560
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:39,960
Scamming.
Come on.
561
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,520
Yeah.
Come on, you're putting on
562
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,640
unnecessary works.
No, he's just leaving early.
563
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:44,960
Yeah, he's breaking his
contract.
564
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,040
I get something similar and it
actually triggers me.
565
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,120
This is off the list.
I'm gonna add something to it
566
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,120
because it's the other way
around.
567
00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:54,000
It's not from a teacher hater.
I get a lot from teachers who
568
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,200
will say something like I saw a
video, I can't remember who it
569
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,240
was, I can't remember who it
was, but I'm not trying to dig
570
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:00,880
anyone out.
But it was a video and it
571
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,760
annoyed me because the video was
a little known fact about
572
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,760
teaching.
Teachers are, are only paid for
573
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,040
their directed time and anything
they do extra is not paid for
574
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,120
and it's extra work that they
shouldn't be doing, right?
575
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,440
And I was like, you are wrong,
but you are wrong.
576
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,360
We, we, we spend 99% of our time
defending teachers and saying
577
00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:22,880
lots of go above and beyond.
But anyone who says teachers are
578
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,200
only paid for directed time and
therefore should only do
579
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,760
directed time are wrong.
Yeah, because it it could not be
580
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,840
more clear in the contract and
we can talk about whether we
581
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,280
think the contracts are
ridiculous or not and we can
582
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,360
have a really good conversation.
And I think we probably agree
583
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,280
that that little bit in the
contract which says you need to
584
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,360
do your director time and
additional reasonable hours is
585
00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:46,200
nonsense because it's vague, but
it does exist.
586
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,560
It is in there.
It is in there.
587
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,720
So when you say like teachers
work extra for free, we actually
588
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,880
don't.
Like part of our salary is
589
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,600
director time plus another part
of our salary is reasonable
590
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,520
extra hours.
And that's involved in the
591
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,880
payment.
So it it, it's not helpful when
592
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,320
people say just do directed time
and then go home.
593
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,800
And that'll teach them that
isn't your contract.
594
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,920
You know what would be helpful?
And this is where I think we
595
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,960
need to all get on the same
page, directed time.
596
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,240
And then we all define
reasonable together.
597
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,920
And even if we just say it's one
hour a day that that would
598
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,320
quickly get eaten up because it
could be in lunchtime, which is
599
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,680
not directed time, could be
after school, which when you do
600
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,000
marking or a bit of extra
planning when PPA overruns.
601
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,240
Yeah.
Or in the morning, if we all
602
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:26,560
agree.
Yeah, whatever it might be, if
603
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,880
we all agree let's do an hour
extra, that is then definitely
604
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,040
within the contract.
It also says in the contract, no
605
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,000
one else can dictate to you what
reasonable is.
606
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,200
Yeah, so they can't say that's
not reasonable.
607
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,280
You can say, well actually look
at my contract, yeah, it says
608
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,440
reasonable hours and you can't
be dictated to what reasonable
609
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,400
hours are.
And I'm pretty sure the number 5
610
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,280
is ours.
So yeah, yeah, yeah.
611
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,200
I've done five of them, Yeah.
And I've said it's reasonable.
612
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,200
And actually, do you know what
my whole colleague circle has as
613
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:52,680
well?
Yeah.
614
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,920
And we're all doing one hour
extra and then we go off.
615
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,200
That's good.
Yeah.
616
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:57,440
So that triggers me the other
way.
617
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,440
And it doesn't help when you get
people who are saying things
618
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,200
like, oh, it's nice just working
direct to time, isn't it?
619
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,040
And then you also get teachers
saying, yeah, let's just do
620
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,280
that.
Let's just get some kind of
621
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,640
middle ground, please.
Yeah, good one, good one.
622
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,760
Next one.
Most of what you teach is
623
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,200
pointless.
Interesting that one.
624
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,400
Doesn't trigger me.
No, I was going to say that.
625
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:21,640
That genuinely doesn't trigger
me.
626
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,280
Someone said that to me.
I'd be like, OK, let's talk
627
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,360
about that.
Excuse me?
628
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,520
It's not pointless.
Thank you and I shall go back to
629
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,280
teaching the active passive
voice.
630
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,480
Yeah, I'll be doing a rivers to
be fair, but.
631
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,680
Fair enough.
Well, I think I think Rivers is
632
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,120
less pointless than active
voice.
633
00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:36,880
OK, God's sake.
Here's where it does trigger me
634
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,720
right, is when people use
examples where I don't think
635
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,560
it's pointless when there's
particularly when it comes to
636
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,760
like maths or core subjects and
they say, they say teach them
637
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,400
that particular insert math
thing is pointless because they
638
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,040
won't use that.
I've never used Pythagoras when
639
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,520
I've been older.
People love that one.
640
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,000
I haven't.
Yeah.
641
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:53,680
No, I haven't.
I've.
642
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,240
Used it to solve logic puzzles.
There you go in my.
643
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,600
Own free time.
Completely necessary.
644
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,680
I just think there's deeper
pedagogy, of course, problem
645
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,160
solver.
There is deeper pedagogy too.
646
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,720
Why we do all the things we do
in in terms of in maths if we're
647
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,320
talking about to my maths.
Well, I don't use Pythagoras
648
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,040
before, no, but let's just think
the logical process of
649
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,000
understanding how to go about
something and going about a
650
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,480
problem and not getting the
right answer, then trying again
651
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,720
and then understanding certain
rule set and then applying that.
652
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,160
You do that all the time.
Yeah.
653
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,000
And honestly, right.
If we actually stopped at where
654
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,400
the general bar is in terms of
what you might need for just
655
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,560
general, very, very basics in
jobs.
656
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,640
Let's stop at you too then.
Yeah.
657
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:32,760
What?
Oh, yeah.
658
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,680
I don't.
I also, I don't use triangles in
659
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:35,680
my job.
OK, cool.
660
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,920
When I teach kids about
triangles, I don't.
661
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,040
Yeah, I don't use that.
I don't use year 6 algebra.
662
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,200
Yeah.
So you probably do, by the way.
663
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,800
Yeah, because algebra is
probably the most right In my
664
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,840
opinion, algebra is the most
widely used, but.
665
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,760
People think that though because
because they don't see in their
666
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,320
life.
May plus, that's my point.
667
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,360
My point is that it's the most
abstract thing when you just
668
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:56,080
look at it as a whole and easy
to say you never use it.
669
00:24:56,120 --> 00:24:58,320
Yeah, but actually you probably
use that way more than knowing
670
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,280
what a dodecahedron is.
Yeah, so, but let's go back to
671
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,400
the actual point and what's
triggering most of what you
672
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,680
teach is pointless.
I have an issue with the word
673
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,960
most because if I think about my
primary school timetable, well,
674
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,440
half it's English and math
straightaway, and then the
675
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,200
afternoons are art.
Not pointless.
676
00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:16,880
Yeah.
Not pointless to teach art, of
677
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:17,920
course.
Not pointless.
678
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:18,720
Yeah.
What do you mean?
679
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,080
Are you defining a point by it
can make me money in a job that
680
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,000
I'm going in?
The job specifically only I want
681
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,280
as well.
That's not even about everyone
682
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:27,480
else.
So from year 2 we should put
683
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,000
everyone in the box like
engineer, Carpenter, TikTok
684
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,320
influencer, YouTube footballer
and they only learn and they
685
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,120
only do that.
Like I'm obviously not like like
686
00:25:36,120 --> 00:25:37,920
so when it says most I'm like
it's just not.
687
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,960
Yeah, that I feel like people
will use the word pointless
688
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,760
retrospectively, right.
Exclusively that Yeah, it's like
689
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,720
OK when I'm.
A Pythagoras professor?
690
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,360
Yeah.
Do you, like, use it all the
691
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,520
time?
Yeah, Actually, I'm a business
692
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:49,440
studies teacher.
Yeah.
693
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,480
Uses business studies called
constantly.
694
00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:55,560
It's like, OK, we can all
retrospectively when we're 40
695
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,280
and we're kind of deep rooted
into a job or career, whatever,
696
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,080
go back and go for a checklist
of everything we they ever
697
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,760
learned at school and be like,
oh, I didn't use that, that,
698
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,960
that, that and that.
But to suggest that we can then
699
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,240
go back in time and tell people
like, well, don't do these
700
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,200
things because that going to be
pointless for you is absurd.
701
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,960
Yeah.
And like, you could look, you
702
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,520
could look back at it.
You're absolutely right, because
703
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,640
I could look back at what I did.
And there were lots of people
704
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,160
who say something like, drama is
pointless.
705
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,960
Yeah.
And like, if you actually look
706
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,600
at my job, like you could
probably say, Oh yeah, it's
707
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,040
pointless because you're not an
actor.
708
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,880
But really it was the opposite
of that.
709
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,800
Yeah.
It really helped me in general
710
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,320
just build confidence.
And then that has gone on to
711
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,400
build me up in other ways where
I could put on a show for the
712
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,840
children and teach and do things
like this and social media
713
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,360
videos and, you know, talk on a
podcast.
714
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:41,320
Exactly.
So I think it's just, it's
715
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,960
never, you know, A to B, like
you don't use this exact
716
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,480
Pythagoras theorem that you
learn, therefore that's
717
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:46,960
pointless.
It's like there's, there's so
718
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,640
many nodes and strands that come
off learning things like that.
719
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,360
Yeah.
Which in the long run impact you
720
00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:56,400
positively, even in the way that
isn't naturally, you know, abyss
721
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,280
straight away.
Definitely, definitely.
722
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,200
So what did we give?
Did we give that on a rating?
723
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,600
I felt like we didn't.
What was it again?
724
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:02,760
Most of it.
Most of it.
725
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,480
The teachers might not because I
think be really honest, I think
726
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,960
quite a bit is pointless.
Yeah, yeah, I do.
727
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,920
I I I've said before I've I've
stood in front of a class
728
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,400
knowing this is the lesson I
have to teach and thought why am
729
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,560
I doing this?
But does that, does that just
730
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,400
break our analogy of like, you
think it's pointless because you
731
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:19,880
don't think any of those kids?
Are going to do that thing?
732
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,160
No, no, because because I'm I'm
looking at the.
733
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,160
My point here is that I know my
class.
734
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,120
I'm in front of them and I know
that actually I could just read
735
00:27:28,120 --> 00:27:30,240
a story to them and there'd be
other people who say that's
736
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,600
pointless, okay.
But for my class right now,
737
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,360
actually, it would just be so
much better for them just to get
738
00:27:34,360 --> 00:27:36,960
engrossed in this story.
And yeah, okay, I can't decide
739
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,160
what isn't pointless, but it
doesn't mean just because it's
740
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,440
hard to individually say that
the the the end point of your
741
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,520
logic is nothing is pointless
then because it might be good
742
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,280
for one person.
Yeah, yeah, I do think some
743
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,120
stuff's pointless.
OK, I think pointless is a
744
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:51,240
really strong word.
I think maybe maybe the word
745
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:52,640
pointless isn't right.
OK, what we're talking about
746
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,840
better stuff I could priority.
I'm thinking priorities,
747
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,160
genuinely.
Yeah, some stuff is.
748
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,000
It just shouldn't be the
priority right now.
749
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,320
Like it's in fact it's so low on
the list.
750
00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:01,360
It's not pointless because there
might be 1 kid who likes this
751
00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:03,800
thing, but it's significantly
lower than all these other
752
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:04,800
things.
I think that's probably where
753
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,000
I'm trying to.
Get yeah, no, that's fine.
754
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,160
That, that, that makes way more
sense, yeah.
755
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,480
All right, another one ready.
All teachers do is just complain
756
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,400
and moan online.
Pretty much, yeah, it's true.
757
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,600
And zero.
Yeah, no rage right there.
758
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,320
Yeah, I can't really argue with
the fact that every reel we ever
759
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,760
put out, the ones that go viral
are the ones that where we're
760
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,200
moaning about something.
So clearly people like it.
761
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,240
It's not all we ever do.
I'm actually going to do a quick
762
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,760
call out for a couple of people
not call out, shout out, call
763
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:31,640
out.
Sounds like I'm calling them out
764
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:32,880
for doing something bad.
They're not they're doing
765
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,040
something good positive.
We've we've, we've watched them
766
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,800
for a while while I have anyway,
because you don't do social
767
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,160
media really.
And I like their content.
768
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:40,520
It's very positive.
It's like day in life.
769
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,560
Here's what we got up to.
It's like very upbeat.
770
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,720
So like it kind of goes against
what we're saying of social
771
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,160
media in, in general.
Absolutely.
772
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,720
Kind of like a negative money
place.
773
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,400
And we met them at the National
Literary Trust Gala that we
774
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:52,560
were.
That's a mouthful, isn't it?
775
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,840
Yeah, that is that we were
invited to because that's 4
776
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,800
takes before this.
We had to stop because you're.
777
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,000
Gonna be saying Natural History
Museum, National Literary Trust.
778
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,240
We met them at the at the gala
and it was Mr we met Mr
779
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:09,800
Hallahan, we met the Geordie
teacher and a bunch of loads and
780
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,120
loads of people are there.
And but those two I've
781
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,520
personally followed for a long
time and they're just really
782
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,400
positive, Yeah, really positive
outlook on the job.
783
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,160
And it's really nice to see.
And it is unfortunate that, you
784
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,320
know, no go turbotry is seen as
booming.
785
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,760
Honest, honestly, I do think
there's a there's a scope here
786
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,760
just to grow up a bit, you know,
in what way, in the way of that.
787
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,200
If you just see someone
complaining about something, No,
788
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,360
it's realism.
It's being realistic.
789
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:44,120
If something's broken, we use
our platform to talk about it so
790
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,800
other people can realise that
it's not just them experiencing
791
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:47,960
this.
Yeah, actually, it's a
792
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,720
widespread thing.
They don't usually need to
793
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,800
internalise whatever it is
that's awful.
794
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,920
They need to understand everyone
else is going through it as
795
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,360
well.
Not only is that shared
796
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,040
experience genuinely, in my
opinion, enough to justify doing
797
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,640
it, but then on top of it you
can provide solutions on what
798
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,120
you can do to help.
Yeah, definitely.
799
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:03,800
So I, I think it's, it's
realism.
800
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:08,360
Mr P did a real recently about
about this thing or people.
801
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,080
People say, oh, you're moaning
online, etcetera.
802
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,040
It's like, well, no, I just use
my platform to talk about things
803
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,320
I think are important.
Yeah.
804
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,080
And when I say grow up, I mean,
there are some people out there
805
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,600
who just think this isn't all
lovely and roses and and smell
806
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,560
like daisies and fantastic.
So it's bad.
807
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,520
You shouldn't be doing this.
It's bad for the profession.
808
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,240
I just think they need to grow
up a bit.
809
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,440
Right, OK, They think that we
should glaze the profession.
810
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,640
We shouldn't talk about the
negative things because being
811
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,480
moany and negative is worse than
truth.
812
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,640
Completely.
And I was like, it's just
813
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,240
realistic.
And you know, Omar, who did the
814
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,600
episode with unofficial
teacher's manual, the author,
815
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:41,200
that book.
Yeah, yeah.
816
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,280
He did a comment actually and
tagged us.
817
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,080
And his comment was basically
like to Mr P was saying if
818
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,360
you're negative, then so am I.
And so I teach the repeat.
819
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,440
Yeah, yeah.
But and then his whole comment
820
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,960
was about how it's not negative.
It it doesn't.
821
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,240
Just because something isn't
nice doesn't mean it's a bad
822
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,800
thing to talk about.
I think it can be good to share
823
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:00,520
those things.
So.
824
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,400
So when someone says all
teachers do is mine online,
825
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,480
you've been very vocal before of
saying you think that the
826
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,560
interpretation of the job is
really important.
827
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,040
So do you think that we go too
far?
828
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,120
I I don't think so.
I don't think we go too far.
829
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,560
I think criticism and moaning
also just get completely banded
830
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:14,840
together as if there's no
difference.
831
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,240
Like as if we can't critique
something without just oh,
832
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,680
negative moaning teachers is
like, can you just listen to the
833
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,080
critique I just gave and said
like and just see if you agree
834
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:24,000
with him.
We have a talk about it
835
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,720
discussion.
Like it doesn't have to just
836
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,840
boil down to oh, just moaning
about nothing.
837
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,800
Well, actually, there was a
valid point that I was talking
838
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,560
about.
Sometimes we do moan, everyone
839
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,200
moans and sometimes it's a scale
that moaning might be less
840
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:36,480
justified.
You're just having a bad day and
841
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,160
you moan about something that
really isn't that bad on your
842
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,560
day at work or whatever.
That is good old classic
843
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,000
moaning.
But most of the time though,
844
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,640
it's not that.
And the only thing I'd say like
845
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,600
with us that just gets me a
little bit is just, is purely
846
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,800
the fact that online when it
comes to clips and reels and
847
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,520
things like that, I, I think
because the, the critiquing
848
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,160
negative Emoni ones, whatever
you want to call it, generally
849
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,240
do better and go more viral and
people listen to them longer.
850
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,400
I worry that people get the
interpretation that we have
851
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,120
nothing positive to say because
they're not the people that
852
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:06,440
aren't.
If you're consuming our long
853
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,840
form podcast, I think I like to
think that we're quite fair and
854
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,480
we have we talk about a lot of
positive things, but I do worry
855
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,560
sometimes it panics me that
people are just does it panic
856
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,240
you not not panic.
I just, well, it does it in a
857
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,800
way because I because I care
about what the way I come
858
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,040
across.
That's my point.
859
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,800
You seem to care more about that
representation.
860
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,440
Yeah, I do care about it.
I think it's important to me.
861
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,000
I guess self, just me,
selfishly.
862
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,040
So I wouldn't want people to
form an opinion because they've
863
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,480
watched seventeen of our reels
and they just happened to all be
864
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,880
things that they just think
maybe are just on the scale of
865
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,960
money, some inconsequential,
some more consequential.
866
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,040
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it's hard.
867
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,960
It's hard on social media
because it's not a case of it's
868
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,440
not even a case of if you follow
us, you see every video we post.
869
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,640
Yeah, it's not how it works.
No, it's just not how it works.
870
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,800
Like we we can put a video out
there that will genuinely get
871
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,680
3000 views, right?
Got nearly 70,000 followers.
872
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,080
You'll get like 3000 views.
We'll put another video out
873
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:56,480
there that will get a million.
Views.
874
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:57,160
Yeah.
Mental.
875
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,320
So it's it's you know, it's
almost like followers is
876
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,000
becoming like a vanity metric
online where actually, you know,
877
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:08,040
it's just what people watch and
and listen to and go all the way
878
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,560
through about skipping past.
Yeah, the algorithm learns that
879
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:11,600
it's something people are
watching.
880
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:12,960
It pushes it out there even
more.
881
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,480
Exactly.
So, you know, absolutely
882
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,800
someone's experience of us
online could just be our six
883
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,920
most watched podcast clips,
which I can probably guarantee
884
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,360
are.
I was going this thing in
885
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,280
education is just completely
broken.
886
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,840
I can think of one that we still
get likes for all the time, 2
887
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,040
rather that we did recently.
One was about how you have to
888
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,520
accept you're letting your kids
down as a teacher because the
889
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,360
system's broken, and to get
through it and not be broken by
890
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,560
the system you just have to
accept that you personally can't
891
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,560
do enough.
And the other one was about how
892
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,280
teaching assistants pay is
dreadful on paper.
893
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,640
Right, and this is where I kind
of disagree with you.
894
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,480
They are both negative things.
The the teaching system is
895
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:52,880
completely broken.
You let your kids down all the
896
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,520
time.
The pay is disgraceful for
897
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:55,720
teaching assistants.
They're exploited.
898
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,960
They are, they are negative
things, right?
899
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,720
I don't care if that's the only
two things people see from us
900
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,840
because I put it out there for a
reason, because I want people to
901
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:04,440
see it.
So if if they're looking at
902
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,280
going, oh, these guys are always
bloody negative, that's I don't
903
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:08,880
see it as a problem.
I see it as a them problem.
904
00:34:09,199 --> 00:34:11,440
So I don't care if you think
that because I think they're two
905
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,199
really important messages to get
across that I thoroughly believe
906
00:34:14,199 --> 00:34:16,000
in.
So it doesn't bother me.
907
00:34:16,199 --> 00:34:18,840
Like if things are being pushed
out there, it's because they're,
908
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,400
it's because people want to
watch it.
909
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,880
It's because people are
literally consuming it.
910
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,639
It only gets pushed out there if
people are taking it in and
911
00:34:25,639 --> 00:34:27,719
reading it.
And most of the time they're
912
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,320
completely agreeing with us.
So if someone, my point here is
913
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,480
if someone looks at it and goes,
why are you so negative?
914
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:33,600
I'm like, mate, that's a you
problem.
915
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,040
It's not negativity, it's
realism, and it's what a lot of
916
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,400
people want to hear.
OK, so rating then.
917
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,800
So if I find because of my
personal reaction to it, which
918
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,719
is clearly very different to
yours, I find when people talk
919
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,679
about all teachers do is moan
and complain like that really
920
00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:48,000
gets me.
That's like 800 and 851 like.
921
00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:51,639
Yeah, I'm like, I'm like 7.
Yeah, really down there.
922
00:34:51,639 --> 00:34:55,239
That didn't bother me, like,
like because I'm like, yeah, we
923
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,320
do that.
What would annoy me is go on to
924
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,280
be like, if someone said you
should only talk about positive
925
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:01,400
stuff.
Yeah, 1000.
926
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:03,760
I just find it undermines
everything.
927
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,360
It's all if someone, when
someone comes to the conclusion
928
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,720
that all teachers do is moan and
complain online, it just, it
929
00:35:08,720 --> 00:35:11,640
annoys me so much because it
because it undermines every
930
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,120
single valid argument and point
people are trying to make about
931
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:15,960
teachers because it's all just
banded together now and that's
932
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,480
just what they think.
And that annoys me that someone
933
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,000
comes to that conclusion.
That's an M problem.
934
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,400
Though, I know, but it really
frustrates me that they get to
935
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:22,840
that conclusion.
It's not.
936
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:24,840
It's not.
But like, we wouldn't be making
937
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,600
these videos if we weren't
trying to change people's minds
938
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,400
and make a bit of a difference.
Like so that the idea that
939
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,560
someone's immediately closed off
to it really pisses me off.
940
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,200
But I don't think those people
would be or not because those
941
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,600
people will see positive and go.
I've seen people before going,
942
00:35:35,720 --> 00:35:37,840
oh finally at last you're not
bashing SLT.
943
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,880
It's like at no point was I
bashing all SLT.
944
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,160
Like people have these, they
already formed these.
945
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,520
You could have the most clear
video in the world saying people
946
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,800
in leadership who are toxic and
do this thing are bad people and
947
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,280
there would still be someone who
goes you hate SLT.
948
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,120
You're a dead brain because it's
not what I said and it's not my
949
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,360
responsibility.
I can't be more clear than the
950
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,320
video I posted.
If you comment something
951
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,480
underneath that is just
literally not what I said in the
952
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,360
video.
That's just, it's not a me
953
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:07,840
problem.
Yeah, if someone just thinks
954
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,600
like, oh, it's just so negative
all the time, you can think
955
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:11,440
that.
That's fine.
956
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,280
It's not my responsibility to
make you not think that.
957
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:14,640
Whatever.
I don't care.
958
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,400
Still triggers me though.
Yeah, still trigger me.
959
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:16,760
That's fine.
So.
960
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,520
Here's another one.
This one's a very good one.
961
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,160
Get a different job if it's that
bad.
962
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,720
OK, this triggers me.
Yeah, District, this is like
963
00:36:24,720 --> 00:36:27,240
874.
Wow, nearly the 9 hundreds.
964
00:36:27,240 --> 00:36:30,200
No, it triggers me a lot because
I know how much of a problem it
965
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,080
is that we are haemorrhaging
teachers like so.
966
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,520
So when people say why don't you
just leave, it's like a double
967
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:36,320
whammy.
Yeah, yeah.
968
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,840
It's like, firstly, you're an
idiot if you think you can't
969
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,040
complain about something without
getting to the point of leaving.
970
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,040
And actually when I was
teaching, I was complaining
971
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,200
about it a lot because I wanted
it to change, because I didn't
972
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,760
want to leave.
The the goal of me talking about
973
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,560
it was that I did not end up
leaving.
974
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,040
So when someone says why don't
you just leave, it annoys me
975
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:56,960
because I'm like, I know I could
just leave.
976
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,200
I don't want to.
That's the point.
977
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,400
That's why I'm saying it's bad
and why they can fix things
978
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,320
because there are very, there
are lots of redeemable things
979
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,280
about teaching.
There's loads of things that
980
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,160
piss me off about teaching.
So I'm going to talk about them
981
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,960
because I want to stay.
And then the double whammy is
982
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,880
why don't you just leave?
Lots of people are and I also
983
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,920
want to stop them from doing
that, which is why I'm doing it.
984
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,600
Just why I'm talking about it.
So it's like it really
985
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,200
triggered.
Me there is 1/3 whammy to this,
986
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:20,960
which is something you said a
lot, so I'm surprised you didn't
987
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,360
say it right then.
Is that so many people to them
988
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,280
Like they're you saying that
it's just like they're thinking,
989
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,240
yeah, I want to and I literally
just can't exactly.
990
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:32,160
I can't like not everyone.
Like it's so silly to just think
991
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,720
that everyone can just up and
silly, silly.
992
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,040
I can just up and leave their
job because I don't like this
993
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,240
anymore.
I'm quitting tomorrow.
994
00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:41,560
So come on.
Like the reality for most normal
995
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,040
working people is you cannot do
that.
996
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,360
You're tied into a mortgage or
rent or somewhere.
997
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,720
You can't just take some crazy
financial risk like that.
998
00:37:49,240 --> 00:37:50,520
Some people can.
That's great.
999
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,720
Yeah, cool.
A lot of people can't.
1000
00:37:52,720 --> 00:37:54,680
And you just saying why don't
you just quit then is really not
1001
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,160
helpful as you.
Make the answer and the answer
1002
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:57,760
because I've got a mortgage
bills.
1003
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,600
Yeah, yeah.
So it's a job between those
1004
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:00,480
three things.
I agree.
1005
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:01,920
By the way, I find this, it's
really tricky.
1006
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,840
And why don't you just quit?
It's just so like for those
1007
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,720
three reasons, it's just so
wrong.
1008
00:38:07,720 --> 00:38:10,360
I'm like, come on, Like just
think about what you're saying a
1009
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,120
bit more.
Do you want everyone to quit?
1010
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:13,920
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's always my favourite.
1011
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,240
Well, I had this, I had this
argument with my stepdad years
1012
00:38:16,240 --> 00:38:17,960
ago, right.
Like we, we always debate about
1013
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,360
running stuff like this and
you'll never be on my real dad.
1014
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:22,120
Yeah, that doesn't end up like
that.
1015
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,880
But he was like, Oh yeah, you're
just, I think we're actually
1016
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:25,920
talking about nurses at the
time.
1017
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:27,400
And then it kind of went on to
teachers as well.
1018
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:28,640
Were you a teacher at this
point?
1019
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:29,560
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah.
1020
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:30,880
I think it went on to you.
Yeah, yeah.
1021
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,040
I think it was around the time
of like nurse strikes and
1022
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,080
teachers strikes and public,
just public service strikes.
1023
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,680
And it was all up in the air.
And he's like, oh, do you know
1024
00:38:37,720 --> 00:38:39,600
what?
If the job's that bad, just go
1025
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,240
and get another one.
And it just, I hate that
1026
00:38:42,240 --> 00:38:44,600
argument so much.
I'm like, cool, OK, imagine if
1027
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,240
everyone took your advice.
Imagine if they all just did
1028
00:38:47,240 --> 00:38:49,520
that.
What what the hospital was going
1029
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,400
to run by fairies.
Like, what do you think is going
1030
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:52,880
to happen?
No one's going to educate our
1031
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,360
kids.
How about we focus on fixing the
1032
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,320
problems that making everyone
want to quit rather than just
1033
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,400
telling them all to go and get
another job because, you know,
1034
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,320
that's not a solution.
It's dumb.
1035
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,720
It's not a real solution.
And that's what I said to.
1036
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,080
Them it's the same thing when
people say like flippantly,
1037
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,640
like, you know, when they talk
about how long the summer
1038
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,040
holidays are and stuff, well,
they get loads of time off.
1039
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:13,480
Just make them come in for
another 4 weeks.
1040
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,040
I was like, OK, let's just
ignore every reason why.
1041
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:18,280
It's just ridiculous what you're
saying.
1042
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,120
Let's just say that happened.
Yeah.
1043
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,400
And we got to the point we were
like, OK, yeah, four extra
1044
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,760
weeks.
OK, one of two things needs to
1045
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,880
happen.
You pay the teachers for the
1046
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,200
extra 4 weeks that they'll be in
work for the extra directed
1047
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,240
time, right?
So that won't happen.
1048
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:32,000
No.
Right.
1049
00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:34,800
Or it remains the same amount of
pay and you just expect them to
1050
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,240
work more for some reason,
Despite that being completely
1051
00:39:37,240 --> 00:39:39,280
ridiculously backwards thought
that would never apply to any
1052
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,120
job ever.
You do more work, please, for
1053
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,840
the same pay.
OK, I will leave.
1054
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,360
And then there'll be a Max
exodus of teachers and then you
1055
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,040
won't have enough teachers to
teach the children.
1056
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,320
So it's like, OK, which one of
those situations do you want?
1057
00:39:52,720 --> 00:39:56,280
It costs way more or you don't
have enough teachers because
1058
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:57,800
that's what will happen when you
make that change.
1059
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,160
And there is people who can't
think past the end of their nose
1060
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,920
because they're so far up their
own backside that they just
1061
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,320
think bloody teachers.
I could just say this thing
1062
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,640
because it will make old people
get really up for it and say
1063
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,360
they're really bloody lazy.
And I'm going to put it in the
1064
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:12,800
Daily Mail tomorrow.
I'm going to say lazy teachers
1065
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,720
when I work for my and it work,
it'll work.
1066
00:40:15,720 --> 00:40:19,120
It'll get people saying it, but
but if you actually just follow
1067
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,000
through with what would happen,
it would be.
1068
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,520
It's a logical thought trend.
Do you think there's a middle
1069
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:24,760
ground though?
Genuinely, based on everything
1070
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,920
we just said, where people might
think, yeah, just do the one, We
1071
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,520
don't pay them more because like
we've just established, there
1072
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,200
won't be a mass exodus because
so many, too many people are
1073
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:34,600
just tied into the job.
They won't be able to leave.
1074
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,040
They'll just be horribly unhappy
instead.
1075
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,880
Some somewhere, but it'll push
some to leave.
1076
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,680
It'll push some to leave who are
on the edge of doing.
1077
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:40,560
It'll just say, do you know
what?
1078
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,440
It's not worth my yeah, it's not
worth your health.
1079
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,720
And no, not even if they can.
They'll just take a pay cut and
1080
00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:46,200
survive, right?
Because there are some people
1081
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,840
who can but choose not to.
Like can is such a loaded word
1082
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,280
here.
Like there are some people who
1083
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,520
will obviously who could just go
and get another job and take
1084
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,280
even like a 10 to 15 grand pay
cut.
1085
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,240
There are some people who could
do that and have a lower quality
1086
00:40:59,240 --> 00:41:00,160
of life.
I'm not saying it wouldn't
1087
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:01,200
affect.
Yeah, they'd have massive.
1088
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:02,720
Sacrifice, I'm not saying yeah,
I'm not saying it wouldn't
1089
00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:03,840
affect them, but they can do
that.
1090
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,240
So it what I'm saying is for a
lot of those people that would
1091
00:41:06,240 --> 00:41:07,840
just tip them over to be like,
it's not life anymore.
1092
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:09,760
Yeah, I'd rather go and have a
much less stressful job.
1093
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:11,880
It won't have the same quality
of life, but I won't be as
1094
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,040
stressed.
And to me, that's worth the
1095
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:14,440
money.
Yeah, it'll, it'll tip people
1096
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:15,560
over the edge and.
They weren't think of that
1097
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,160
before, but now they are.
Exactly that it'll tip people
1098
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,800
over the edge, but it will also
have a detriment on recruitment.
1099
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,840
It'd become it'd become far less
true, far less job like
1100
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,120
appeasing job.
Yeah, we're already struggling.
1101
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:27,600
With that's the biggest argument
I think that.
1102
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:29,960
Yeah, it'd be both, but it would
just make some people more leave
1103
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:31,120
who wouldn't?
Because there will be some
1104
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,040
people on that line who are
should I, Should I, Oh my God, I
1105
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:35,480
will now.
And they'll just take the hit
1106
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,160
and then recruitment went and
then give it four or five years.
1107
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:39,800
Yeah, nonsense.
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
1108
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,280
So that's quite a triggering 1
then Quite a triggering.
1109
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,680
One quite triggering and dinged
go on crack on you.
1110
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,720
Did one good job, all right.
Teachers are just brainwashing
1111
00:41:48,720 --> 00:41:50,600
the next generation with
personal politics.
1112
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:55,240
This is actually honestly like
907 really.
1113
00:41:55,240 --> 00:41:57,040
This really triggers.
Me into the 9:00.
1114
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:58,240
Hundreds.
It really triggers me.
1115
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,560
Is it because you are doing that
and you hate being pulled out?
1116
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,360
You heard it here.
First, because I want my lefty
1117
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,800
WOKI beta liberal agenda to be
out there to the masses.
1118
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,080
That's why.
Yeah, like, let me do it.
1119
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,440
Yeah, it it really triggers me.
Is it?
1120
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,800
Is it triggering?
Because again, like the other
1121
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,160
ones, they're just so far from
the truth as to what's happening
1122
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,160
in schools or.
It, yeah.
1123
00:42:20,240 --> 00:42:22,120
Is that a bit really There's
there's like there's so many,
1124
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,280
there's so many reasons why it
triggers me, which why
1125
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:25,800
amalgamates, that's one of them.
Yeah.
1126
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:31,520
I think that you see the odd
article in GB News Online of
1127
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,640
something that is genuinely bad,
right?
1128
00:42:34,720 --> 00:42:38,360
That is genuinely maybe the
example of a teacher going too
1129
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,720
far of the personal beliefs with
the class and I would say that's
1130
00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:43,240
bad practise.
You should do it where?
1131
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:44,800
No matter where my politics
lies.
1132
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,440
Of course, which?
Obviously happens in every job
1133
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:47,920
ever.
By the way, just to clarify,
1134
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,160
teachers, I'm perfect, right?
That's my point I was going to
1135
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,840
make is this is you.
You see that?
1136
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,280
And the thing that triggers me
is when people go say our kids
1137
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,520
are bloody ruined in this next
generation.
1138
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:04,360
Yeah mate, I have taught for 10
years and it does not happen
1139
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:05,720
where?
I'm not saying it doesn't happen
1140
00:43:05,720 --> 00:43:08,240
at all, but to suggest that
therefore it's happening
1141
00:43:08,240 --> 00:43:12,680
everywhere is just stupid
because you've seen one thing
1142
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,720
and what it is, is you want to
believe that this is happening
1143
00:43:15,720 --> 00:43:18,280
everywhere.
So you see one example, you see,
1144
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:19,880
see that's happening everywhere.
It's ridiculous.
1145
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:21,920
It's not.
It is not.
1146
00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:24,040
This kind of indoctrination is
not happening everywhere.
1147
00:43:24,240 --> 00:43:25,440
That's one reason why it annoys
me.
1148
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:30,000
Another reason I'll throw this
back to you is the definition of
1149
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:34,640
indoctrination for some other
people will just be ridiculous
1150
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,600
and it's not indoctrination.
For example, there'll be some
1151
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:41,920
people if they walked into a
school and they saw some kind of
1152
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:46,160
poster or something on the wall
which was about welcoming
1153
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,400
everyone, everyone's welcome
here.
1154
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:55,120
Or even something as specific as
we don't stand for anti racism,
1155
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,880
right?
There are some people who look
1156
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,640
at that and go bloody
indoctrination shouldn't be in
1157
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,640
schools.
And that's the other thing that
1158
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,760
really, really triggers me.
It's like you're you're you're a
1159
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,800
you're an idiot.
Yeah, there's not, there's not
1160
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,360
there is a big, there was a big
thing in America recently where
1161
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,400
it was basically pushing back
against everyone.
1162
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,080
Malcolm.
There was just a post saying
1163
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,360
everyone welcome and there and
there was a big, big push back
1164
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,160
from parents saying it's
indoctrination.
1165
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,760
You shouldn't be saying stuff
like that because their
1166
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,080
interpretation of that.
And it was the whole thing with
1167
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:29,640
with trans ideology racism.
Border.
1168
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,480
Control everything you can think
about because they saw the words
1169
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,480
everyone welcome.
Which is just a nice thing to
1170
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:38,760
have in a school, by the way.
Yeah, yeah.
1171
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:39,800
Yeah.
It's a school.
1172
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,480
Come in, everyone's welcome.
We make this.
1173
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,560
They saw that and they were
like, oh, that's political.
1174
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,240
That's brainwashing.
You shouldn't be teaching kids.
1175
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,600
You shouldn't be teaching.
Kids that everyone's welcome.
1176
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,960
That's mad, isn't it?
Yeah, that's just got so far
1177
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,600
down the line of of that's why I
get annoyed division, isn't it?
1178
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,240
Yeah, that's crazy to me.
And it do you know what's more
1179
00:44:55,240 --> 00:44:57,200
annoying is the fact that I can.
I understood so quickly why
1180
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:00,400
people would think that as well.
I mean, I didn't I I like I'm so
1181
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,440
I'm so attuned to the the
madness of the world right now
1182
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,840
that I could immediately think
of four reasons why a bunch of
1183
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,200
parents in America, yeah,
particularly would be looking at
1184
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:09,680
being.
That's not true because it got
1185
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,560
based all the things you just
said because they don't like the
1186
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,840
trans move and they don't.
Like think, are you saying
1187
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,200
paedophiles are welcome?
No, Yeah, yeah, that's.
1188
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,640
Legit, but that's in my head.
I'm like, oh, I reckon they
1189
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:20,520
think that, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
1190
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:21,720
That's what I.
Mean I'm like, that's not fair
1191
00:45:21,720 --> 00:45:22,880
enough.
That's mental.
1192
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,400
Yeah, they're mental.
These people are crazy.
1193
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,520
Yeah, of course everyone in this
school is welcome.
1194
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,640
Everyone which is all of the
people here, they're all
1195
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,520
welcome.
That's what that means.
1196
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,000
It means everyone coming into
this school right now, which,
1197
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,480
yeah, by definition is the
people that go to this school.
1198
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:39,560
You can think of the worst
person in the world, right, And
1199
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,560
apply that and say you should
see you're you're saying that if
1200
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:44,520
Hitler was around now, you'd be
welcoming me.
1201
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:48,320
Oh my God, like nonsense.
Like that's where then I'm like,
1202
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,920
come on, come on.
It's just, it's just ridiculous.
1203
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:52,880
The whole, the whole idea,
because you kind of get into it
1204
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,000
with indoctrination,
brainwashing.
1205
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:57,960
I've always found that
fascinating because I'm like, it
1206
00:45:57,960 --> 00:45:59,920
is quite subjective in terms of
what we define as
1207
00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:02,880
indoctrination, really.
In terms of like, I'm sure
1208
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,640
someone, anyone could justify
literally anything we ever tell.
1209
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,480
Like the purpose of school is
indoctrination to an extent,
1210
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,840
right?
We're indoctrinating these young
1211
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:15,240
mammals in into the specific
culture that we live in and
1212
00:46:15,240 --> 00:46:16,840
speak.
Language properly without.
1213
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:18,840
You speaking English in this
country, are you?
1214
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:20,840
That's indoctrination into that
language, yeah.
1215
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:24,240
Kind of like because we all
speak English here, like I guess
1216
00:46:24,240 --> 00:46:26,400
so if you want to call that
indoctrination.
1217
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,560
Oh, doing maths every day on the
timetable, indoctrinating them
1218
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,000
and thinking maths is what?
OK.
1219
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:31,520
And reading is.
Yeah, reading.
1220
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:33,440
Yeah, we also do that.
Is that indoctrination?
1221
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,640
Like, Oh yeah, we've prioritised
teaching kids to read.
1222
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:37,320
I bet the reading's in English
as well, isn't it?
1223
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,320
Well, that's indoctrination.
I find it a strange concept
1224
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,200
basically, is what I'm saying.
Like I think there are levels,
1225
00:46:42,240 --> 00:46:43,120
right.
Of course there are.
1226
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:44,320
I think there are.
Easy to point out.
1227
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,800
Definitely when it comes to
extremities, like it's very easy
1228
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:48,200
to say that's that's just clear
cut.
1229
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:49,680
We all agree that's.
But it's indoctrination.
1230
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:51,040
Indoctrination.
If you're saying it's
1231
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,080
indoctrination to teach English
every day, I think that's a bit
1232
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:54,480
wild.
I think that's a bit wild as
1233
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:55,440
well.
I think that's more extreme on
1234
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:56,880
the other side I.
Think it's indoctrination?
1235
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,080
Being but I think someone might
say in a way it is because
1236
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,760
you're teaching kids to think a
specific way.
1237
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,520
I don't know.
Does it fall under that
1238
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:06,280
category?
I don't know.
1239
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,240
Like is teaching just by
definition indoctrination?
1240
00:47:10,240 --> 00:47:12,080
That's kind of what I'm getting
at, and I might be genuine, I
1241
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:13,320
might be wrong.
Genuinely, I'm.
1242
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,960
Going to read it out.
Indoctrination is the process of
1243
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,320
forcefully or persistently
teaching a person or group to
1244
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,840
accept a specific set of
beliefs, ideologies, or
1245
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:22,760
doctrines.
OK.
1246
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:24,360
So I think it's more
specifically like.
1247
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,400
So academics wouldn't count.
That's not beliefs or
1248
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:27,320
ideologies.
That's fair enough.
1249
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:28,440
That's fair enough.
And I think that's why
1250
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,880
indoctrination separately, you
can kind of, I can kind of see
1251
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:33,800
why people separate and say you
shouldn't be indoctrinating
1252
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,120
anything because what they're
saying is the role of school is
1253
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,280
to not go into beliefs or moral
moralistics.
1254
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,680
Yeah.
But I I personally think it's
1255
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,600
fine to go into the realms of
morals when it's just a blanket
1256
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,400
thing.
Of course it is and and also.
1257
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,520
But some people say it's not.
Yeah, and, and, and, but, But if
1258
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,800
you're persistently saying to
people, right, Case, here's the
1259
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,080
troubling bit, which goes
against what we both think,
1260
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:53,520
right?
Yeah.
1261
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,400
But I'm going to play devil's
advocate a bit here.
1262
00:47:55,720 --> 00:47:59,400
Some will say that persistently
saying whatever it is, if it's a
1263
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,040
moral outlook on, like
persistently if it's a moral
1264
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:03,880
outlook on life and like the
acceptance of absolutely
1265
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:06,000
everyone no matter what, if
you're persistently saying that
1266
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,920
to the children and teaching
them that every day, that is
1267
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:09,800
indoctrination.
Yeah.
1268
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:11,560
In the same way you just talked
about how reading would be
1269
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:12,560
indoctrination, but we don't
care.
1270
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,120
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're saying, OK, maybe not,
1271
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:18,200
but, but maybe it is
indoctrination.
1272
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,400
But maybe what we're saying is
some indoctrination is OK.
1273
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:22,560
That's the point I'm trying to
make.
1274
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:23,840
I've got one more thing to back
this up.
1275
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:25,840
Right.
Literally part of the basically
1276
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,360
every UK school is something to
do with British culture.
1277
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:30,760
Yeah.
That is inherently based on that
1278
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:32,760
definition is indoctrination
completely.
1279
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:34,720
But we all obviously think
that's OK because we live in
1280
00:48:34,720 --> 00:48:35,440
Britain.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1281
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,080
So like no one has a problem
with teaching British culture in
1282
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,360
in British schools to kids who
are growing up in British
1283
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,080
culture.
Yeah, some, but it is what maybe
1284
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:43,800
they do.
But it is indoctrination.
1285
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,480
Yes, in in the literal sense, in
the same way that what you just
1286
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:47,960
said about saying everyone.
And faith schools.
1287
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,520
Like right faith.
Schools getting kids to walk in
1288
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,920
to an assembly and sit down and
all chant back a reading from
1289
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,040
the Bible.
That is indoctrination, and for
1290
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:58,480
me that goes above the line.
I think that's bad, I think
1291
00:48:58,480 --> 00:48:59,840
that's wrong, and I think that's
bad.
1292
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:01,160
Objectively, I don't think we
should be.
1293
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:02,720
Doing no matter what the.
Faith I don't think we should be
1294
00:49:02,720 --> 00:49:04,280
doing no matter what the faith,
it's nothing to do with the
1295
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:04,880
faith.
It's to do with the
1296
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:06,960
indoctrination of, of making
children believe in a God.
1297
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,320
I don't think that's OK.
And other people, most people in
1298
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,120
fact, disagree with me on that
one.
1299
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,040
So, so that's my whole overall
point here is it's obviously
1300
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:18,200
subjective.
So indoctrination itself, if
1301
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,320
someone's saying we've got
really deep here, if someone's
1302
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,360
saying you're just
indoctrinating the kids, the
1303
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,440
answer really probably should
be, yeah, we are.
1304
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:26,920
Yeah.
But you know, the act of
1305
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,360
indoctrination itself isn't
necessarily a bad thing, but we
1306
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,360
should be looking at what we're
doing with indoctrination.
1307
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,960
But the the the people hear what
I'm saying here and get
1308
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:36,440
immediately triggered because
they have this idea of
1309
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:38,120
indoctrination being negative
all the time.
1310
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,360
Yeah, yeah, of course.
Indoctrination is persistently
1311
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:44,040
putting across the and, and
teaching an ideology, A belief,
1312
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,400
a set of values.
So if you agree with that
1313
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,160
ideology, belief, a set of
values, you obviously don't
1314
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,280
think that it's a bad thing.
But if you disagree with them,
1315
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:51,520
then you obviously think it is a
bad thing.
1316
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:52,960
And that's where this comes
from.
1317
00:49:53,240 --> 00:49:55,800
People will be saying, you know,
I, I personally disagree with
1318
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:57,240
that.
Whether we think that's
1319
00:49:57,240 --> 00:50:00,000
acceptable or not, they will
personally disagree with it.
1320
00:50:00,720 --> 00:50:04,560
Do they have the right to in a
public school, no matter what me
1321
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:06,000
and you think is acceptable or
not?
1322
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:07,680
Do they have a right in a public
school?
1323
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:09,040
No matter.
It doesn't matter if we think
1324
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:11,000
they're right or wrong.
Do they have the right to say
1325
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:12,920
you shouldn't be doing that to
my kids, stick to academics.
1326
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,320
I think they have the right to
have an opinion.
1327
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,080
Of course they do.
The thing just going back to
1328
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,240
this to really clear, the thing
that triggers me about it is
1329
00:50:19,240 --> 00:50:21,200
when people, and you basically
just said this, I'm going to say
1330
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,360
it again, is when people decide
to call it brainwashing when
1331
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:26,880
it's something they don't agree
with and they don't think it's
1332
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:28,400
brainwashing when it is
something they agree with.
1333
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:31,040
That's what annoys me because
it's like they can't even agree
1334
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,680
that in this idea of
brainwashing, indoctrination is
1335
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,360
subjective in the 1st place.
It's like, oh for God's sake.
1336
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,400
So, oh, it's brainwashing our
kids with this political
1337
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,440
ideology.
But if I was teaching your
1338
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,440
political ideology, you wouldn't
call that brainwashing, would
1339
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,520
you?
So, yeah, reform recently a
1340
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,440
reform candidate went into a
school and did a talk about
1341
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:49,840
reform, and obviously all the
reform people are absolutely
1342
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:50,480
loving it.
Yeah, of course.
1343
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,000
And it was just, it was just
like, just think for one second
1344
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:54,240
about everything you've said
about schools.
1345
00:50:54,240 --> 00:50:56,840
If you think about the typical
reform candidate of how it's
1346
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,440
awful and stuff, you can't, you
don't get to now not think it's
1347
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,480
awful.
You don't, you don't get to now
1348
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:03,960
think that's OK because it's
what you believe in that.
1349
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:08,400
That story, I've seen that as
well, triggered me at 1000 on
1350
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:10,160
this scale.
Yeah, because of the reason we
1351
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,400
just established.
That's what annoyed me so much.
1352
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,240
Indoctrination is OK, but it's
what I want, yeah.
1353
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,320
That ohh God I just can't stand
it.
1354
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,120
I do think just be really clear,
the teachers are brainwashing
1355
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:20,480
the next generation of personal
politics.
1356
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,000
I think there's a really good
debate to have here about where
1357
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,240
the line is in in school.
You should do it in general
1358
00:51:25,240 --> 00:51:27,840
about politics and certainly
personal politics.
1359
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,440
I think that's a reasonable
opinion and debate to have.
1360
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:31,680
To talk.
It's not happening lots.
1361
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,000
But yeah, that isn't happening
lots.
1362
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:34,800
No, no, no.
The personal politics thing of
1363
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:36,880
someone in the classroom giving
their personal politics to the
1364
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:38,480
class.
I I agree that's bad.
1365
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:39,560
And I don't think it happened as
much.
1366
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:41,800
The wider point of
indoctrination is an interesting
1367
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:42,800
one.
Yeah, because you could have
1368
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:46,080
someone walk past, imagine you
walk into a school and and
1369
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,360
they're on the way to the hall,
right, to deliver an assembly
1370
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:53,720
and they walk past something on
the wall and it's about anti
1371
00:51:53,720 --> 00:51:58,240
racism and and they think, oh
God, and it's there any need for
1372
00:51:58,240 --> 00:51:59,760
that?
Like, oh God in that's all.
1373
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:01,240
Oh gosh.
And they go to they go to the
1374
00:52:01,240 --> 00:52:04,200
hall and then they're delivering
a sermon on Christianity.
1375
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:08,120
Yeah.
It's like, OK, you've decided,
1376
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:12,360
you've decided if you have that
thought train, you've decided
1377
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:14,640
personally which indoctrination
to you is acceptable or not.
1378
00:52:15,240 --> 00:52:19,960
And so, so putting it all back,
you know, should schools not do
1379
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:21,680
any?
I know this is this is what I've
1380
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:23,480
I've never got to a conclusion
of this argument.
1381
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:25,600
I felt like we've even off the
podcast had this conversation.
1382
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:27,120
I don't know what the solution
is.
1383
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:30,000
I just know the only thing we
shouldn't be doing is completely
1384
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,280
ignoring the fact that the
hypocrisy.
1385
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:34,320
That's it, that's it.
We should just stop.
1386
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:39,680
Let's we should try.
We should aim to be as like the
1387
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:42,200
least hypocritical we possibly
can be when we're talking about
1388
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:43,360
that.
That for me is the first step.
1389
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,520
And we're not even there in
terms of like, will we ever be
1390
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:48,080
able to draw a line?
Probably not, no.
1391
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:49,760
Basically, like the world is
constantly changing.
1392
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,360
Culture is constantly changing,
Opinions constantly change.
1393
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:54,800
And this is all about the
subjectivity of culture and
1394
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:56,400
opinion.
So it's an impossible task.
1395
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,280
But that example you gave
happens if people walk in
1396
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,040
through, I don't agree with that
indoctrination.
1397
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,560
Here's my indoctrination.
It's like, for Christ's sake,
1398
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:07,160
like at least accept that that
is hypocrisy and then we can
1399
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,320
maybe talk.
Imagine like there's a racist
1400
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,120
incident on the playground and
it goes to the teacher and they
1401
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,440
go, sorry, can't get involved in
this belief system of whether
1402
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:16,480
this is good or bad.
No, it's bad.
1403
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:17,560
Yeah, it's bad.
It's bad.
1404
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:19,720
So we can say it's bad.
Like there has to be like
1405
00:53:19,720 --> 00:53:21,520
there's some obviously some
stuff that's just true.
1406
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,360
True.
So, so like, should schools do
1407
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:26,280
beliefs and system and and
morality?
1408
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,600
Of course they should.
Of course they should.
1409
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:31,080
Yeah, But it's tricky where the
line is.
1410
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:32,720
Yeah, hard.
And you're interested.
1411
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,560
So yeah, this, this imaginary
person we made-up.
1412
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:37,160
Yeah.
Put them to rights, haven't we?
1413
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:38,520
Definitely.
It's probably a business studies
1414
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:40,800
teacher.
I've made enemies there.
1415
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,160
Yeah, you have?
No, I just, I just.
1416
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:48,720
It was the only time where I was
like, you have to have had some
1417
00:53:48,720 --> 00:53:49,680
experience.
Yeah.
1418
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:52,240
You have to have had some
experience doing it in order to
1419
00:53:52,240 --> 00:53:56,320
teach it well, I think.
Yeah, and I agree for every
1420
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,880
single subject equally.
That's it.
1421
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,040
It's just weird that business
studies gets picked out that's.
1422
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,600
What I'm saying?
We have to agree to disagree,
1423
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:04,760
right?
No.
1424
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:06,920
Yes, maybe.
I don't know.
1425
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:09,240
Can you repeat the question?
Yeah, absolutely not guys.
1426
00:54:09,240 --> 00:54:10,360
We'll see you next time.
Thank you so much.
1427

good go.
1428
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:13,840
Back and check out Q&A this
week.
1429
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:15,760
You haven't watched it already.
It's it's a funny 1.
1430
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:16,400
Bye.
See ya.
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,680
Hello everyone, Michael bad to
another episode of Teacher
2
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:02,920
repeat.
My name is Dylan and my name is
3
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,960
Hayden, and today we're going to
be going through those all Timer
4
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,760
1 liners from people who just
hate teachers.
5
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,480
Am I going to?
Is this going to boil my blood?
6
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,480
Maybe, but we're going to do it
in a fun way where we read out
7
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,600
what a typical teacher hater
troll might say, OK, take the
8
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,040
piss out of them.
Yeah.
9
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:20,480
And why it's funny.
Yeah.
10
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,960
And then actually try and
dismantle it and why it's just
11
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,800
embedded in nonsense because you
probably can think of a few
12
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,800
already.
Can we can we rate them on how
13
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:28,840
annoying they actually are as
well?
14
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,600
Yeah, OK, let's do that.
Just like just how how, Yeah.
15
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,640
How boiled your blood gets when
you actually hear it.
16
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,400
In real life, what's the scale
like?
17
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,080
Not.
Not to boil not.
18
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:40,680
Not 100, not 100, not 100,
Julie.
19
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,120
Not to 1000.
Not a mathematician, that's.
20
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:44,560
Really precise.
That's good, because then we.
21
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:45,800
Yeah, we.
Can on a scale of naughty to
22
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,320
1000?
And we've got about 1000 things
23
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,560
here.
So we can, No, we've got about
24
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,920
10, OK.
So someone can count as we go
25
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:51,880
through, All right.
Yeah.
26
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:53,760
So they have to be all multiples
of of 100.
27
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:54,080
Yeah.
Because.
28
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,800
There's 1000.
So what we'll do is we'll read
29
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,400
out each one.
We'll start with that rating
30
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,320
then yeah, OK, I've got
reaction, all that, and then
31
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,360
like you said, we'll unpick it.
So the first one, those who can
32
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:08,720
do, those who can't teach.
Look my my got guttural reaction
33
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,240
to this is on the scale of
nought to 1000, this is honestly
34
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,200
like 112.
Honestly like 112 roughly
35
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,680
people.
Will take nothing.
36
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,240
That's so crazy girl.
I was thinking 100.
37
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,480
And 11 genuinely, yeah, it
doesn't.
38
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:21,920
It doesn't actually annoy me
that much.
39
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,760
No, because I just it maybe it's
because I'm this is true.
40
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,760
I can't do.
That's why I I can't teach.
41
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,760
That's why I quit.
Oh man, no, the reason it
42
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,880
doesn't get me up is because
it's so embedded in like I heard
43
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,880
that my whole life.
Like when I hear that now, I
44
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,600
just think it's banter.
It's not even banter though,
45
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,040
because some people mean it.
Like it's just, it's nothing.
46
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,080
It's not, it's not even funny.
Like I'm just like it's nothing
47
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,040
to me because it's just, it's,
it's coming from a place of
48
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,760
complete lack of understanding
about what teaching is like
49
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,600
those who can't do teachers.
Like what do you think?
50
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,240
Do you think we don't do?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
51
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,600
Like, like I got you there.
You can't do so you must teach.
52
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,560
What do you think we do?
I think, I think it stems from
53
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,680
more like secondary school
subject specialists where we go,
54
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,240
ohh, you couldn't do you
couldn't do your job in history,
55
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,800
so, so you gotta teach you,
haven't you?
56
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,480
You weren't a very good
historian.
57
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,960
Well, won't getting the stonks
in on the history job.
58
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,400
Yeah, yeah.
And, and, and I always hear
59
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,960
people say this, and I'd love if
anyone here listening is a
60
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,040
secondary school business
studies because that always
61
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,520
happens.
Yeah, always happens.
62
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,120
Someone else be sat in business
study, there'll be some bro
63
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,280
podcaster who's turned out to
have some kind of success in in
64
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,040
wealth and business, etcetera,
who then goes on and was like,
65
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,640
yeah, when I was at school, my
business studies tutor, He he
66
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:49,120
never had a business of his own.
Why was he teaching business
67
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,480
studies?
I was like, OK, so, so, so
68
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,880
you're, you're kind of logic
here is that no one should ever
69
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,160
be a business studies teacher
because if they're already good
70
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,040
at it, they wouldn't be doing
it.
71
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,800
So you wouldn't have had a
business studies sense like what
72
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,120
you've caught.
Of course you need some people
73
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,280
to teach some stuff.
It it just it seems like
74
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,040
nonsense to me.
Like my food tech teacher never
75
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,120
had a restaurant which means
they can't possibly teach me how
76
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,560
to cook.
It doesn't really make.
77
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,120
Sense yeah, it's it's hard
because there is some kind of
78
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,000
like the analogy is probably
more if your business teachers
79
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,880
are like if you're if you're a
business studies teacher has
80
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:27,120
never had them and ran a
business like I do think there
81
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,040
is some point to that.
Well, in comparison to a
82
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,240
business studies teacher who
maybe had some experience in
83
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,840
business.
Before, yeah, yeah, exactly.
84
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,000
Yeah.
Because like to to me it's not
85
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,680
equivalent to a food tech
teacher having a restaurant.
86
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,560
Yeah, to me that's equivalent to
a food tech teacher not knowing
87
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,560
how to bake a a cake.
Yeah, sure.
88
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,120
Like it's a very fundamental
level.
89
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,960
And I'd be like, well, yeah,
actually, as a food tech
90
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,280
teacher, you should know how to
make an omelette because you're
91
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,960
teaching kids how to make.
I I don't think the comparison
92
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,600
you're making is bad at all
because we literally put people
93
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,960
on a pedestal who come into
primary school teaching who have
94
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,040
had a career before, no?
No, no, I'm being, no, I'm being
95
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,360
really specific about what they
are specialist in teaching.
96
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,560
Yeah, there is a certain level
of what they have to have done
97
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,120
in that field, I think to be a
suitable teacher.
98
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,800
So I'm not talking about going
to primary UK.
99
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,880
You were, you were a chartered
surveyor, then you're going to
100
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,040
primary school.
That's not what I'm talking
101
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,680
about.
I'm talking specifically about
102
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,760
if you're a food tech teacher,
you should know a basic level
103
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,000
of, of, of how to cook food.
Sure, right.
104
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,440
If you're a maths teacher, you
should obviously know a certain
105
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,720
level how to do maths, right.
And if for any subject, there
106
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,360
should be a certain level that
that you're at and for business
107
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:28,360
studies like it, it seems to
genuinely fair enough that to
108
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,480
have been involved in them and
run some kind of business or
109
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,640
done something seems to be like
a fair like, OK, I'll throw it
110
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,400
to you.
Do you think a business studies
111
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,520
teacher can never ever have ran
a business in their life and
112
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,200
still teach it well?
Yeah, yeah.
113
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:43,920
That's the thing.
That's right.
114
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,240
That's where I think it falls
down a little bit.
115
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,200
I don't think the analogy for
business studies is any
116
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,600
different from any other
subject, genuinely.
117
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,440
So so you so you think that a
food tech teacher can never have
118
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,080
cooked an omelette before and
still be a food tech teacher
119
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,200
because that then the analogy is
not falling apart?
120
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,680
No, there's a basic level of way
you need to.
121
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,920
Be a basic level.
Yeah, so your basic level is
122
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,000
lower than having.
That's it.
123
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,040
I don't think the basic level is
you have to run a business fine.
124
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,880
I think you can conceptually
understand how a business works
125
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,040
and and teach business studies
to 14 year olds.
126
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,440
So if you just.
Conceptually know how to make an
127
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:13,920
omelette, but you've never
actually done one before.
128
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,080
You can teach kids how to make.
No, I think the bar's different
129
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:16,600
for that one.
OK.
130
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:17,440
I mean, I do think, I do think
so.
131
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,480
I think the bar probably is
different for for every single
132
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:20,480
one.
I just don't think business is
133
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,040
like different.
I don't think whatever the bar
134
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,160
is for food tech, I don't think
it's like proportionally that
135
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,520
different to whatever the bar is
for business.
136
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:27,120
Do you know what I mean?
I.
137
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,400
Just think.
So what's the equivalent of
138
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,840
cooking and knowing how to to
make?
139
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:33,680
OK, cooking is like, OK you you
can conceptually understand
140
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,240
cooking what you want.
You do have to have at least
141
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,000
done it once so that you can
model it to the kids.
142
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,440
Correct.
Why is that not the same for
143
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:39,920
business?
Because I don't think you need
144
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,640
to have run a business like
that's that's a that's a shoot.
145
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:43,600
So you.
Don't need to have made.
146
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,360
Cooking a OK, cooking an
omelette is significantly,
147
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,560
significantly simpler than
setting up and running a
148
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:49,920
business.
Yeah, Like, they're not the
149
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:50,840
same.
They're not equivalent.
150
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,520
Yeah, I don't know.
The restaurant thing is.
151
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,080
No, no it's not.
The the restaurant thing is the
152
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,040
same.
They have a business is quite
153
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,360
easy.
Not really.
154
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,440
Like it's easy to do OK, OK,
it's easy to go on comedy's
155
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,440
house and put in a random name
and buy a company name.
156
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,520
But like actually running a
business is not the.
157
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,720
Same as cooking, I think.
The restaurant thing is probably
158
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,880
was was closer to the analysis.
No, because the restaurant is a
159
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,880
business that's the same.
That's not to do with a food
160
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,640
tech thing.
You're missing my analogy here.
161
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,760
The exact thing that qualifies
you to do that job as a 50.
162
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,120
Nothing to do running a
restaurant.
163
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,520
Here's a better analogy then.
Cooking is what?
164
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,720
You have to have been a chef to
be a food tech teacher at some
165
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,680
point in your career?
Yeah, I don't think that's true.
166
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:22,960
Fair.
I think you can have just done
167
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,240
some cooking at home.
Yeah, as long as just a business
168
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:26,360
home.
Yeah, literally.
169
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,320
So running a small business,
maybe that, but not even that.
170
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,920
You didn't need to run a small
business, right.
171
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,400
You could watch some videos.
You don't.
172
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:33,680
You could talk to your mates on
business.
173
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,840
It's different.
I'm just, I'm trying to get,
174
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:37,160
you're trying to find an
equivalence here.
175
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,400
Yeah, Yeah.
And you're saying, yeah, just
176
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,000
cook at home.
So I'm saying yeah, run a
177
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,080
business from home.
Yeah, yeah.
178
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,680
But OK.
In the same way of math, it's
179
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,160
like you have to know how to do
the equation before you do it.
180
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,880
You don't have to have any
genuinely any actual role in a
181
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,120
in a like a certified you.
Need to know how to do them and
182
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,880
understand the process.
Yeah, you need to.
183
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,240
And do it and be able to do.
It, yeah, but I think there's
184
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,200
some things.
You can solve.
185
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,840
The problem some things you can.
You can understand how to do
186
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:00,800
them completely, conceptually,
Absolutely.
187
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,320
That's it.
But as a teacher, do you not
188
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,960
think the bar is that you should
be able to do them?
189
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,920
And it's not just conceptual.
You should be able to do them,
190
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,680
but I think you can prove that
conceptually for some things.
191
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,120
OK, so so it sounds like you
have a different bar genuinely
192
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,200
for all the other subjects apart
from like business studies?
193
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,680
No, no, no, a little bit
because.
194
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,280
With history, for example,
right, if, if you're a history
195
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,440
teacher, you should be able to
look at lots of different
196
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,520
sources, compile an argument,
write an essay or a
197
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,280
dissertation.
Yeah, you should be able to do
198
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,560
that.
You should be able to not, not
199
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,360
just conceptually.
You don't have to have done it.
200
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,320
No, I think you do have to have
done it.
201
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,800
If you're a history teacher, you
have to have done that yourself
202
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,000
And and walked the walk before
you expect children who are
203
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,200
younger than you to do the same
thing.
204
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,440
Yeah, of course you do.
Yeah, yeah, Yeah, you definitely
205
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:41,480
have to.
Of course you do.
206
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,200
Like if if my if I went into
school, my history teacher
207
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,720
hadn't written a dissertation on
a history degree or or had had
208
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,960
not done any writing themselves
or any actual proof of
209
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,600
understanding sources, citing
them, putting them into an
210
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,320
argument, and writing long long
essays, I'd say you shouldn't be
211
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,400
a history.
Teacher, OK, so they'll do that
212
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,440
in the degree.
So that's fine, you'll be fine.
213
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:00,640
OK.
But do you think they have to
214
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,040
have out in the field, have
experience of done that as well?
215
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,960
Or do you think doing it in a
degree like a business person
216
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,760
would, they'll do a business
degree to teach business.
217
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,440
Do not think that the degree
gives them the suitable level of
218
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,480
experience of of of the doing.
Sure.
219
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,640
But I right, but in the in the
degree of doing, but if you did
220
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,560
business studies as a degree,
you've done the business, you
221
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,840
would have done stuff that is
equivalent to running a
222
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:21,840
business.
You would have.
223
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,640
You would have learned
everything you need to learn
224
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,520
about business itself and done
it.
225
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:26,720
Good, that's fine, you get it.
But.
226
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:27,920
They have done it then, so they
have done it, yeah.
227
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,200
Yeah, because we've, I think
the, I think it was fair to
228
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,280
establish that you have to have
had the degree to teach the
229
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,679
subject anyway because that's
just not that's.
230
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,039
Not true at the minute.
Is it not?
231
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:37,679
No, that's the whole point In
secondary school, so many
232
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,520
teachers, they're not got a
specialist in their subject.
233
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:40,760
Yes.
Bat around.
234
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,200
So.
So my point here is there just
235
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,080
has to be minimum.
And again, look, there are loads
236
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,240
for the business studies teacher
listening right now.
237
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,560
They're like, what?
I've never run a business.
238
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:49,680
Yeah.
Are you sure you can be great at
239
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:51,560
your job, Right.
Because you've gone through the
240
00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:53,880
qualifications and the levels
and you've done it.
241
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,160
You've still done it.
Yeah.
242
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,160
You've still done the equivalent
of yeah, OK, Running a business
243
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,800
means you have to do XYZ.
And I'm pretty sure on your
244
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,800
business studies degree you
would have learned about XYZ and
245
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:03,920
written essays about it and done
it.
246
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,240
So let's go all the way back
then, because my whole point of
247
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,440
this was business studies is not
different to other subjects.
248
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:09,720
Yeah.
So all that food tech then like
249
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:10,080
what?
What?
250
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,320
What do you, what's the
equivalent?
251
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,720
You don't do a degree in food
tech.
252
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,360
Well, I think there is some sort
of qualification.
253
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,240
A lot of people go to college.
I know my sister went to college
254
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:19,520
and got qualification cooking
and they and they did and they
255
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,560
did practical, practical cooking
because that was part of that.
256
00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:23,280
So what I was trying to say was
the bar is different for each
257
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,240
one in terms of the things you
might do.
258
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,320
Like it looks different, but
like in reality, like you don't
259
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,000
like.
For cooking, you go and do your
260
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,840
degree, you do cooking.
So I'm for business.
261
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,160
You should do the business
stuff.
262
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,600
Yeah, but you'll get it through
your degrees.
263
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,360
But you should still do it.
Business studies don't have to
264
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,880
put on a pedestal of like, no, I
never said that you have to have
265
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,000
now run a business.
You did.
266
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,560
Yeah, you have to now run a
business yourself.
267
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:44,520
No, none of these jobs you need
to.
268
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,120
It's good if you have.
Yeah, it's good.
269
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,120
But you don't need to have been
a professional chef.
270
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,920
You don't need to have been a
historian working for some
271
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,200
historian.
I don't know the historical
272
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,720
charter.
You know, you can like the the
273
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,840
baseline qualification for that
role is is suitable.
274
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,800
And I completely it's a
different argument to say that
275
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,000
sometimes teachers are put into
roles where they don't have that
276
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,960
qualification.
That's just across the board, I
277
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:08,600
think, a problem.
Yeah.
278
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,480
No, no, no.
But what I was not saying, I was
279
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,960
not making the point that the
the qualification for the job is
280
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,240
not enough, right?
I was.
281
00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:17,960
The point here is I'm saying
people do jobs without that
282
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,040
qualification.
So I'm just making it a neutral
283
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,440
thing.
Now whether you've done the
284
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,280
qualification or not, there are
certain things I think you have
285
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,960
to have at at a certain level to
be a teacher in that exact as a
286
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,560
specialist in.
Degree, school, and that
287
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:31,600
comparatively.
Right.
288
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,200
And I'm just saying I just, I
don't think they are like, I
289
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:36,800
just think that's what I'm
saying like in terms of business
290
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,800
studies, whether you've done the
degree or not, there has to be a
291
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,320
certain level where you have
done the things you're preaching
292
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,480
about.
You have literally done them and
293
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,360
understood them and and
practised them.
294
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,160
And that's why if you haven't
got, of course, if you do a
295
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,520
history degree, you've done all
the stuff I said you need to do.
296
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,680
But if you haven't, I think you
have to be able to prove that
297
00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:57,160
you can do that before you're
you're good enough to be a
298
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,920
history teacher.
So that's why I was 112.
299
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,200
Yeah, sorry, back to the
episode.
300
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,720
I forgot A roll of podcast
those.
301
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,200
Yeah.
So those who can do.
302
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,080
Yeah, those who can't go and get
a business degree teach
303
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,400
business.
I've got nothing against by the
304
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,480
way, I'm just going to say right
now this is great, but I'm just
305
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,160
saying that that's kind of where
it comes from.
306
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,840
That's the ultimate version is I
see a lot of business, which is
307
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,720
yeah, to be fair, that's that's
in particular 1 and I and I
308
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,080
think that there's a reason why
it's that one in particular,
309
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,640
because if you know how to run a
really like, you know, if you
310
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,360
know, yeah, yeah, yeah, same
thing.
311
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:30,520
It makes it one.
You say.
312
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,880
It's like, yeah, it.
And let me be really clear now
313
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,480
as well, it is a different role.
And that's why we still need
314
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,880
teachers to do it, right?
Completely, completely.
315
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,160
Because you can still learn
about something without being
316
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,880
excelling in that role.
Yeah.
317
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,640
And that's where it comes from.
It's like, well, if you were the
318
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:45,840
best at that, you wouldn't be
teaching it.
319
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,480
That's true.
If you were the best at running
320
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:49,920
a business, you wouldn't be
doing business studies.
321
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,200
Yeah.
If you were the best at teaching
322
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,720
cooking, you wouldn't be
teaching it in a secondary
323
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,640
school, you'd be.
You'd be off that.
324
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,080
You'd be off teaching chefs how
to cook.
325
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:57,640
Yeah, Yeah, right.
If you weren't the best
326
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,960
mathematician, you wouldn't be
in a secondary school teaching
327
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:01,760
maths.
You'd be off applying your maths
328
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:02,640
to something.
Yeah.
329
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,280
So.
So there is a semblance of truth
330
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,840
here.
I just think it completely
331
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,640
disregards the whole profession.
That's really important that we
332
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,680
need.
And as a teacher myself, that's
333
00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:14,560
why I just like it doesn't even
know it.
334
00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:15,640
Just ignore it.
I'm just like, yeah, yeah,
335
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:16,880
you're an idiot.
They're different things.
336
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,600
Exactly that, 100% I, I think
that's really true.
337
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,240
The semblance of understanding
why that, why that analogy came
338
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,280
about.
But ultimately, like, some
339
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,880
people also just want to teach.
Yeah.
340
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,640
And it's like, and to
completely, like, make them feel
341
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,680
like crap over this.
It's just so like some people
342
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:32,360
legitimately are like, I want to
go and get this degree because I
343
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,240
really want to be a teacher and
I like this subject.
344
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:35,200
I'm going to marry them
together.
345
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,680
And I want to teach that subject
to kids.
346
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,240
And like, that's completely
legitimate.
347
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,560
Like we shouldn't just some.
Of my favourite teachers were my
348
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:44,080
food tech teachers and I'd never
dream of even questioning them
349
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,840
for a second because they were
with young children teaching
350
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,400
them how to cook, which is
what's an important life skill.
351
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,720
Yeah, it's vital.
Well, you're, if you're already
352
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,760
good, you'd be in the Michelin
star restaurant teaching the
353
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,040
chefs how to do it.
But they're not.
354
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,400
They're here because it's
helpful, so.
355
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,040
And, and, and also, I don't even
want to do that.
356
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,520
Yeah, exactly.
Some people it's legitimate as
357
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,840
well to be like, yeah, I
probably, it'd be, it would
358
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,840
actually be legitimate for
someone to be in a position
359
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,480
where it's like they are
actually qualified enough to do
360
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:06,520
that and they just don't want to
do it.
361
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:07,880
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And be like, that's not even
362
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,760
unheard of.
Like you could be good enough to
363
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:10,920
go and work that, but I don't
want to.
364
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,680
It's a horrendous environment.
I'd rather just be here
365
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,480
completely.
Anyway, next one ready.
366
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:15,040
Go on.
I'll do it.
367
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:21,200
I pay your salary, so I have
control and my point of view is
368
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,320
important.
And I pay your bloody salary.
369
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,640
So you listen to me, Mr I pay
your bloody salary.
370
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,440
Like a 300 for me is it?
I find it a little bit
371
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,160
triggering when it comes to the
context of all of the.
372
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,240
Stuff you just said.
I think just saying I pay your
373
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,320
salary is like is like.
Mine's mine's zero.
374
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,920
Yeah.
But OK, the whole context of
375
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:41,160
this is that the people teaching
so 703 for me. 703 yeah, really.
376
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,880
Why is it so high for you?
Because it's, it's such a sense
377
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,920
of entitlement, as if everyone
doesn't pay for everyone.
378
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,800
Yeah, as if for some reason,
because it's from taxpayer
379
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,760
money, like.
Oh, Now, therefore you're my
380
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,560
servant and you shall do exactly
what I say.
381
00:13:55,560 --> 00:13:56,600
No, I'm sorry.
I'm the specialist.
382
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,200
Shut up.
Doesn't matter where this comes
383
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:58,680
from.
Sure.
384
00:13:58,680 --> 00:14:00,080
Yeah, OK.
You pay great.
385
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,720
I could just pretend that my mum
pays for me and not you.
386
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,160
There you go.
I could walk into a shop and
387
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,480
spend £300 and then tell the
person exactly I pay your salary
388
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:10,680
because I contributed a tiny
amount of that salary.
389
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:12,480
That's my point.
That's exactly my point.
390
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,200
Because even in the private
sector, yes, everyone pays
391
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,240
someone's salary.
Yeah.
392
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,120
So your customers pay the
customer's always, right?
393
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,840
Yeah, but I'm pretty sure in
your own job as well, you get
394
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,560
annoyed when customers say that
to nonsense.
395
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,320
Yeah, that's similar, isn't it?
The customer was right.
396
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:26,880
And I pay your salary.
That's the same part.
397
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:28,800
Well, I'm a paying customer
here.
398
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,240
Sure.
Why don't you necking?
399
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,480
No, because you are wrong.
Still, I pay your salary.
400
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,880
What's your point?
Because the only point they make
401
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,960
when they say I pay your salary
is therefore you're below me.
402
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,360
Yeah, I pay your salary.
So you better wound your necking
403
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:40,520
and listen to what I've got to
say.
404
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,880
Because I pay your salary.
There's no no one's saying this
405
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,000
going.
I pay your salary.
406
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,760
That's brilliant.
That's nice, isn't it?
407
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,920
They're only doing this as a way
to try and belittle you.
408
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,520
Yeah.
And put them on a pedestal above
409
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,240
you.
So listen to me and then and and
410
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,800
then who says this to you if
someone says it's you from an
411
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,920
insurance company?
Well, yeah, I pay your salary,
412
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,760
mate.
I've got house insurance and car
413
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,520
insurance and home insurance.
Yeah, home and house insurance
414
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,480
double paying.
But yeah, I pay your salary as
415
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:07,640
well.
What's your point?
416
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,840
I'm paid to deliver a role as a
specialist.
417
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,480
Shut up.
Yeah, I'm not going to come into
418
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,160
your job and tell you how to do
the insurance.
419
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,400
Probably you do Probably.
If you're doing it really badly,
420
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,280
maybe I'll have an opinion, but
I also don't know that much
421
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:20,840
about insurance, so I'm going to
just leave it to you.
422
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,280
Yeah, it.
Seems like a scammer, don't it?
423
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,600
Yeah, I'm going to pay
insurance.
424
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,680
And if I ever want to take money
out, you're going to put my
425
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,040
insurance up massively to cover
the cost.
426
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,200
Oh, it's it sounds like I'm just
paying you money every month.
427
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,320
Yeah.
What we need to do is think of
428
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,600
comebacks for every single job
that's in the same line as that.
429
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,640
I pay a salary that's a do we
just need to have something?
430
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,760
Do you know what I mean?
Have you always wanted to be a
431
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,120
scam artist to an insurance
broker?
432
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:44,360
Don't really think that, by the
way.
433
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,280
So please don't get annoyed.
But like, I don't think it was.
434
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,160
I don't think people want to be
a scam artist, but I think
435
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:50,520
insurance.
Is no, I think they just enable
436
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,480
it through taking a salary from
them and get get get paid in
437
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,440
Commission.
Yeah, the more they RIP someone.
438
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,600
Off Well I think you enable left
woke beta male teachers.
439
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,360
You'll love something that's
coming up later.
440
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,600
Propaganda.
You'll love one of those.
441
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:04,720
We'll go.
Later in this.
442
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,200
All right, we'll stick around
for that one.
443
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,600
We're not going to.
Do it right now so in 10 months
444
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,760
you're hooked in.
I pay salary, piss off.
445
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,760
Yeah, bet 9.
Yeah, BET9700700. 3 isn't that
446
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:13,720
one?
Then how do you feel about this
447
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,200
one?
Go on, working 9:00 to 3:00 and
448
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,360
having every weekend off must be
wow nice.
449
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,040
It's lovely, thank you.
It's lovely.
450
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,320
And you pay it for me.
Yeah, crazy.
451
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,200
You only work.
For me, thanks for paying me.
452
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,360
I have to buddy work 8 till 5
and I don't get every weekend.
453
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:29,560
I don't get how many weeks
holiday do you?
454
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,120
Get Wait a minute, it sounds
like you would love teaching.
455
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,080
Yeah, yeah, come.
Along my God's a reaction
456
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,400
working night to free and having
every weekend off again.
457
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,960
Personally this doesn't annoy me
anymore because I just think
458
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:45,160
it's just complete nonsense.
To me this is like a 207 really.
459
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,120
It triggers me more.
You know, I think that's like
460
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,960
500 in the middle, really.
Maybe 501 go one side.
461
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,880
Yeah, 501.
Closer to complete mental
462
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,120
breakdown.
Yeah, yeah, I suppose because I
463
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,320
just, it really irritates me
that someone can have such a
464
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,440
misunderstanding of the role of
teaching and say it so
465
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,120
nonchalantly.
And I was like, shut up.
466
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,400
I just want to say shut up, you
know, what are you thick?
467
00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:07,400
That's what I want to say to
those people.
468
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:08,400
You can't because you've got to
come rude.
469
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:09,400
I can't have the podcast,
obviously.
470
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:10,480
To every single one of them.
Of course.
471
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:10,839
Of course.
Yeah.
472
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:11,839
Because you don't see them.
Yeah.
473
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,200
Just come down much later.
Exactly.
474
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,359
Feel like you're saying it to
What are you going to do 9 till
475
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,839
3 every weekend off?
Like, why are you making such a
476
00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:19,599
presumption?
Yeah.
477
00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:23,319
And also like it shows how
ignorant you are because
478
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:28,880
honestly, 10 seconds off just
looking into this first of all
479
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,360
shows you that no one's even
doing contact time 9 till three.
480
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,760
It's like half 8 till 3:15
anyway.
481
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:35,920
Oh, it's only 45 minutes I
thought.
482
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,440
Yeah, it just goes to show you
already wrong.
483
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,360
Even if it was just contact time
that teachers did, which isn't
484
00:17:40,360 --> 00:17:42,800
we can go into the whole thing.
You're just already wrong.
485
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,640
And it anyone who says something
like this doesn't actually care
486
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,680
about the truth.
They they can't care about the
487
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,240
truth because it would be so
easy to debunk what they're
488
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,360
saying as nonsense that if they
haven't debunked it themselves,
489
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,440
they don't care and they don't
want to know, which I think is
490
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,160
why I'm less triggered by it
because I'm just like, oh, you
491
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,480
are just a complete moron.
There is nothing we can do.
492
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,080
And when like what gets me as
some, as you know, we've got
493
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,360
social media now.
It's actually a Facebook
494
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:10,760
comment.
By the way, we've got like
495
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,440
55,000 followers on Facebook.
I don't go on Facebook.
496
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,680
So if you're from Facebook,
Hello, cheers.
497
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,880
Yeah, thank you.
It just cross posts but every
498
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,520
now and then I'll go on just to
check, just to see.
499
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:21,800
Yeah, what's going on in the
comments?
500
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,880
And there was a comment along
this line, but it was within,
501
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:26,960
there was like hundreds of
comments in this row we did.
502
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,920
And the vast majority of
obviously teachers going like,
503
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,600
it's ridiculous.
I, I get in at half seven every
504
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,760
day and leave at 5:00 and I
still have stuff to do in the
505
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,760
evening or at the weekend along
those lines of like, oh, a
506
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,880
person doing the job who's
experienced it, who's just
507
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,800
telling you what they do
hundreds of individual times on
508
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:43,480
their own.
Yeah.
509
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,560
And someone commented going, oh,
it's just nonsense.
510
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:46,800
I know a teacher only works
there.
511
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,200
It's 9 till three, Like, oh,
well, it's so easy.
512
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,480
Like what you're moaning about.
I'm like, there, there are
513
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,400
hundreds of examples as to why
you're wrong around this comment
514
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,800
that you put in and you still
hold on to it like, well, I
515
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,120
think this and I'm the main
character in life, aren't I?
516
00:19:02,120 --> 00:19:05,000
So what I say goes, you're wrong
and an idiot.
517
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:10,040
Yeah, people that use their
very, very limited pool of
518
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,200
examples of of anything to
justify their entire thought
519
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,480
process or something that is is
baffles me always.
520
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:16,800
Can I link this to another one
then?
521
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,840
Because this is another one that
we get, maybe we can rate it as
522
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,000
well.
But it's, it's very much linked
523
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,120
to what I've kind of gone on to
here.
524
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:23,800
Yeah, I know you a teacher who's
lazy, so you all must be.
525
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,440
That is it, isn't it my?
Brother's a teacher and he gets
526
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,920
in at 8 and leaves at 3:15 every
single day and doesn't do any
527
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,160
work.
OK.
528
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,720
That's do you know what it could
be true, yeah, but.
529
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:35,440
Probably.
Probably.
530
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:36,440
I'm sure.
Of course there'd be someone
531
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:37,080
like that.
Yeah.
532
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:38,840
Of.
Course, but then it's like, so
533
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,200
you're all lazy.
You know what you're moaning
534
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,080
about you.
Can do that or even not you're
535
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,080
all lazy.
So I don't know what you're all
536
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,120
doing wrong, right.
You could all do this right, but
537
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:50,040
as if the bar then gets to be
like that's too low in terms of
538
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,680
like I can always guarantee if
you're getting, if you're just
539
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,080
going in precisely for contact
time stuff's not getting done.
540
00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:00,520
I'm sorry, it's not, it's not.
I'd be blown away, someone said.
541
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,120
Someone show me a good example
of teacher really fulfilling
542
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:05,840
that full potential of their
role and doing those out is not
543
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:06,880
possible.
No, it's not.
544
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,320
That doesn't even do you know
what actually it goes against
545
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:10,600
the contract.
Yeah, you have to.
546
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,080
Because the contract literally
says directed time and
547
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,440
reasonable hours outside the
whole reasonable things where we
548
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,360
argue a lot.
Yeah, So we have to do
549
00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:18,480
something.
You've got to do something.
550
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:19,880
So that person's just not even.
They're just not.
551
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,400
You're glorifying someone just
not even doing the job properly.
552
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,800
Yeah, that's not doing us any
favours as teachers.
553
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,720
Yeah, let's not set the bar of
don't do the job properly,
554
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,480
right.
That's like saying, Oh my mate,
555
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,840
the worst insurance, he only
works from 9:00 to 11:00.
556
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,280
Yeah, his contract is 9 till
five.
557
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,040
He just decides to go home early
and using that as the bar to set
558
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,160
to all other insurance brokers.
Like, yeah, he does 2 hours a
559
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,200
day.
What are you lot doing get?
560
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:39,960
Scamming.
Come on.
561
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,520
Yeah.
Come on, you're putting on
562
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,640
unnecessary works.
No, he's just leaving early.
563
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:44,960
Yeah, he's breaking his
contract.
564
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,040
I get something similar and it
actually triggers me.
565
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,120
This is off the list.
I'm gonna add something to it
566
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,120
because it's the other way
around.
567
00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:54,000
It's not from a teacher hater.
I get a lot from teachers who
568
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,200
will say something like I saw a
video, I can't remember who it
569
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,240
was, I can't remember who it
was, but I'm not trying to dig
570
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:00,880
anyone out.
But it was a video and it
571
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,760
annoyed me because the video was
a little known fact about
572
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,760
teaching.
Teachers are, are only paid for
573
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,040
their directed time and anything
they do extra is not paid for
574
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,120
and it's extra work that they
shouldn't be doing, right?
575
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,440
And I was like, you are wrong,
but you are wrong.
576
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,360
We, we, we spend 99% of our time
defending teachers and saying
577
00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:22,880
lots of go above and beyond.
But anyone who says teachers are
578
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,200
only paid for directed time and
therefore should only do
579
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,760
directed time are wrong.
Yeah, because it it could not be
580
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,840
more clear in the contract and
we can talk about whether we
581
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,280
think the contracts are
ridiculous or not and we can
582
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,360
have a really good conversation.
And I think we probably agree
583
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,280
that that little bit in the
contract which says you need to
584
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,360
do your director time and
additional reasonable hours is
585
00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:46,200
nonsense because it's vague, but
it does exist.
586
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,560
It is in there.
It is in there.
587
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,720
So when you say like teachers
work extra for free, we actually
588
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,880
don't.
Like part of our salary is
589
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,600
director time plus another part
of our salary is reasonable
590
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,520
extra hours.
And that's involved in the
591
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,880
payment.
So it it, it's not helpful when
592
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,320
people say just do directed time
and then go home.
593
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,800
And that'll teach them that
isn't your contract.
594
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,920
You know what would be helpful?
And this is where I think we
595
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,960
need to all get on the same
page, directed time.
596
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,240
And then we all define
reasonable together.
597
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,920
And even if we just say it's one
hour a day that that would
598
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,320
quickly get eaten up because it
could be in lunchtime, which is
599
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,680
not directed time, could be
after school, which when you do
600
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,000
marking or a bit of extra
planning when PPA overruns.
601
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,240
Yeah.
Or in the morning, if we all
602
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:26,560
agree.
Yeah, whatever it might be, if
603
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,880
we all agree let's do an hour
extra, that is then definitely
604
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,040
within the contract.
It also says in the contract, no
605
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,000
one else can dictate to you what
reasonable is.
606
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,200
Yeah, so they can't say that's
not reasonable.
607
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,280
You can say, well actually look
at my contract, yeah, it says
608
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,440
reasonable hours and you can't
be dictated to what reasonable
609
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,400
hours are.
And I'm pretty sure the number 5
610
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,280
is ours.
So yeah, yeah, yeah.
611
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,200
I've done five of them, Yeah.
And I've said it's reasonable.
612
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,200
And actually, do you know what
my whole colleague circle has as
613
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:52,680
well?
Yeah.
614
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,920
And we're all doing one hour
extra and then we go off.
615
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,200
That's good.
Yeah.
616
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:57,440
So that triggers me the other
way.
617
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,440
And it doesn't help when you get
people who are saying things
618
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,200
like, oh, it's nice just working
direct to time, isn't it?
619
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,040
And then you also get teachers
saying, yeah, let's just do
620
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,280
that.
Let's just get some kind of
621
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,640
middle ground, please.
Yeah, good one, good one.
622
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,760
Next one.
Most of what you teach is
623
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,200
pointless.
Interesting that one.
624
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,400
Doesn't trigger me.
No, I was going to say that.
625
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:21,640
That genuinely doesn't trigger
me.
626
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,280
Someone said that to me.
I'd be like, OK, let's talk
627
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,360
about that.
Excuse me?
628
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,520
It's not pointless.
Thank you and I shall go back to
629
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,280
teaching the active passive
voice.
630
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,480
Yeah, I'll be doing a rivers to
be fair, but.
631
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,680
Fair enough.
Well, I think I think Rivers is
632
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,120
less pointless than active
voice.
633
00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:36,880
OK, God's sake.
Here's where it does trigger me
634
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,720
right, is when people use
examples where I don't think
635
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,560
it's pointless when there's
particularly when it comes to
636
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,760
like maths or core subjects and
they say, they say teach them
637
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,400
that particular insert math
thing is pointless because they
638
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,040
won't use that.
I've never used Pythagoras when
639
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,520
I've been older.
People love that one.
640
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,000
I haven't.
Yeah.
641
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:53,680
No, I haven't.
I've.
642
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,240
Used it to solve logic puzzles.
There you go in my.
643
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,600
Own free time.
Completely necessary.
644
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,680
I just think there's deeper
pedagogy, of course, problem
645
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,160
solver.
There is deeper pedagogy too.
646
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,720
Why we do all the things we do
in in terms of in maths if we're
647
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,320
talking about to my maths.
Well, I don't use Pythagoras
648
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,040
before, no, but let's just think
the logical process of
649
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,000
understanding how to go about
something and going about a
650
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,480
problem and not getting the
right answer, then trying again
651
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,720
and then understanding certain
rule set and then applying that.
652
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,160
You do that all the time.
Yeah.
653
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,000
And honestly, right.
If we actually stopped at where
654
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,400
the general bar is in terms of
what you might need for just
655
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,560
general, very, very basics in
jobs.
656
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,640
Let's stop at you too then.
Yeah.
657
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:32,760
What?
Oh, yeah.
658
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,680
I don't.
I also, I don't use triangles in
659
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:35,680
my job.
OK, cool.
660
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,920
When I teach kids about
triangles, I don't.
661
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,040
Yeah, I don't use that.
I don't use year 6 algebra.
662
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,200
Yeah.
So you probably do, by the way.
663
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,800
Yeah, because algebra is
probably the most right In my
664
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,840
opinion, algebra is the most
widely used, but.
665
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,760
People think that though because
because they don't see in their
666
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,320
life.
May plus, that's my point.
667
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,360
My point is that it's the most
abstract thing when you just
668
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:56,080
look at it as a whole and easy
to say you never use it.
669
00:24:56,120 --> 00:24:58,320
Yeah, but actually you probably
use that way more than knowing
670
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,280
what a dodecahedron is.
Yeah, so, but let's go back to
671
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,400
the actual point and what's
triggering most of what you
672
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,680
teach is pointless.
I have an issue with the word
673
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,960
most because if I think about my
primary school timetable, well,
674
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,440
half it's English and math
straightaway, and then the
675
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,200
afternoons are art.
Not pointless.
676
00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:16,880
Yeah.
Not pointless to teach art, of
677
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:17,920
course.
Not pointless.
678
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:18,720
Yeah.
What do you mean?
679
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,080
Are you defining a point by it
can make me money in a job that
680
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,000
I'm going in?
The job specifically only I want
681
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,280
as well.
That's not even about everyone
682
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:27,480
else.
So from year 2 we should put
683
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,000
everyone in the box like
engineer, Carpenter, TikTok
684
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,320
influencer, YouTube footballer
and they only learn and they
685
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,120
only do that.
Like I'm obviously not like like
686
00:25:36,120 --> 00:25:37,920
so when it says most I'm like
it's just not.
687
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,960
Yeah, that I feel like people
will use the word pointless
688
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,760
retrospectively, right.
Exclusively that Yeah, it's like
689
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,720
OK when I'm.
A Pythagoras professor?
690
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,360
Yeah.
Do you, like, use it all the
691
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,520
time?
Yeah, Actually, I'm a business
692
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:49,440
studies teacher.
Yeah.
693
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,480
Uses business studies called
constantly.
694
00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:55,560
It's like, OK, we can all
retrospectively when we're 40
695
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,280
and we're kind of deep rooted
into a job or career, whatever,
696
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,080
go back and go for a checklist
of everything we they ever
697
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,760
learned at school and be like,
oh, I didn't use that, that,
698
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,960
that, that and that.
But to suggest that we can then
699
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,240
go back in time and tell people
like, well, don't do these
700
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,200
things because that going to be
pointless for you is absurd.
701
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,960
Yeah.
And like, you could look, you
702
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,520
could look back at it.
You're absolutely right, because
703
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,640
I could look back at what I did.
And there were lots of people
704
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,160
who say something like, drama is
pointless.
705
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,960
Yeah.
And like, if you actually look
706
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,600
at my job, like you could
probably say, Oh yeah, it's
707
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,040
pointless because you're not an
actor.
708
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,880
But really it was the opposite
of that.
709
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,800
Yeah.
It really helped me in general
710
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,320
just build confidence.
And then that has gone on to
711
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,400
build me up in other ways where
I could put on a show for the
712
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,840
children and teach and do things
like this and social media
713
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,360
videos and, you know, talk on a
podcast.
714
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:41,320
Exactly.
So I think it's just, it's
715
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,960
never, you know, A to B, like
you don't use this exact
716
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,480
Pythagoras theorem that you
learn, therefore that's
717
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:46,960
pointless.
It's like there's, there's so
718
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,640
many nodes and strands that come
off learning things like that.
719
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,360
Yeah.
Which in the long run impact you
720
00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:56,400
positively, even in the way that
isn't naturally, you know, abyss
721
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,280
straight away.
Definitely, definitely.
722
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,200
So what did we give?
Did we give that on a rating?
723
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,600
I felt like we didn't.
What was it again?
724
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:02,760
Most of it.
Most of it.
725
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,480
The teachers might not because I
think be really honest, I think
726
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,960
quite a bit is pointless.
Yeah, yeah, I do.
727
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,920
I I I've said before I've I've
stood in front of a class
728
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,400
knowing this is the lesson I
have to teach and thought why am
729
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,560
I doing this?
But does that, does that just
730
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,400
break our analogy of like, you
think it's pointless because you
731
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:19,880
don't think any of those kids?
Are going to do that thing?
732
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,160
No, no, because because I'm I'm
looking at the.
733
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,160
My point here is that I know my
class.
734
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,120
I'm in front of them and I know
that actually I could just read
735
00:27:28,120 --> 00:27:30,240
a story to them and there'd be
other people who say that's
736
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,600
pointless, okay.
But for my class right now,
737
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,360
actually, it would just be so
much better for them just to get
738
00:27:34,360 --> 00:27:36,960
engrossed in this story.
And yeah, okay, I can't decide
739
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,160
what isn't pointless, but it
doesn't mean just because it's
740
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,440
hard to individually say that
the the the end point of your
741
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,520
logic is nothing is pointless
then because it might be good
742
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,280
for one person.
Yeah, yeah, I do think some
743
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,120
stuff's pointless.
OK, I think pointless is a
744
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:51,240
really strong word.
I think maybe maybe the word
745
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:52,640
pointless isn't right.
OK, what we're talking about
746
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,840
better stuff I could priority.
I'm thinking priorities,
747
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,160
genuinely.
Yeah, some stuff is.
748
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,000
It just shouldn't be the
priority right now.
749
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,320
Like it's in fact it's so low on
the list.
750
00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:01,360
It's not pointless because there
might be 1 kid who likes this
751
00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:03,800
thing, but it's significantly
lower than all these other
752
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:04,800
things.
I think that's probably where
753
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,000
I'm trying to.
Get yeah, no, that's fine.
754
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,160
That, that, that makes way more
sense, yeah.
755
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,480
All right, another one ready.
All teachers do is just complain
756
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,400
and moan online.
Pretty much, yeah, it's true.
757
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,600
And zero.
Yeah, no rage right there.
758
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,320
Yeah, I can't really argue with
the fact that every reel we ever
759
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,760
put out, the ones that go viral
are the ones that where we're
760
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,200
moaning about something.
So clearly people like it.
761
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,240
It's not all we ever do.
I'm actually going to do a quick
762
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,760
call out for a couple of people
not call out, shout out, call
763
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:31,640
out.
Sounds like I'm calling them out
764
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:32,880
for doing something bad.
They're not they're doing
765
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,040
something good positive.
We've we've, we've watched them
766
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,800
for a while while I have anyway,
because you don't do social
767
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,160
media really.
And I like their content.
768
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:40,520
It's very positive.
It's like day in life.
769
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,560
Here's what we got up to.
It's like very upbeat.
770
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,720
So like it kind of goes against
what we're saying of social
771
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,160
media in, in general.
Absolutely.
772
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,720
Kind of like a negative money
place.
773
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,400
And we met them at the National
Literary Trust Gala that we
774
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:52,560
were.
That's a mouthful, isn't it?
775
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,840
Yeah, that is that we were
invited to because that's 4
776
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,800
takes before this.
We had to stop because you're.
777
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,000
Gonna be saying Natural History
Museum, National Literary Trust.
778
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,240
We met them at the at the gala
and it was Mr we met Mr
779
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:09,800
Hallahan, we met the Geordie
teacher and a bunch of loads and
780
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,120
loads of people are there.
And but those two I've
781
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,520
personally followed for a long
time and they're just really
782
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,400
positive, Yeah, really positive
outlook on the job.
783
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,160
And it's really nice to see.
And it is unfortunate that, you
784
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,320
know, no go turbotry is seen as
booming.
785
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,760
Honest, honestly, I do think
there's a there's a scope here
786
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,760
just to grow up a bit, you know,
in what way, in the way of that.
787
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,200
If you just see someone
complaining about something, No,
788
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,360
it's realism.
It's being realistic.
789
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:44,120
If something's broken, we use
our platform to talk about it so
790
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,800
other people can realise that
it's not just them experiencing
791
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:47,960
this.
Yeah, actually, it's a
792
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,720
widespread thing.
They don't usually need to
793
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,800
internalise whatever it is
that's awful.
794
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,920
They need to understand everyone
else is going through it as
795
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,360
well.
Not only is that shared
796
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,040
experience genuinely, in my
opinion, enough to justify doing
797
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,640
it, but then on top of it you
can provide solutions on what
798
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,120
you can do to help.
Yeah, definitely.
799
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:03,800
So I, I think it's, it's
realism.
800
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:08,360
Mr P did a real recently about
about this thing or people.
801
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,080
People say, oh, you're moaning
online, etcetera.
802
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,040
It's like, well, no, I just use
my platform to talk about things
803
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,320
I think are important.
Yeah.
804
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,080
And when I say grow up, I mean,
there are some people out there
805
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,600
who just think this isn't all
lovely and roses and and smell
806
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,560
like daisies and fantastic.
So it's bad.
807
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,520
You shouldn't be doing this.
It's bad for the profession.
808
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,240
I just think they need to grow
up a bit.
809
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,440
Right, OK, They think that we
should glaze the profession.
810
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,640
We shouldn't talk about the
negative things because being
811
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,480
moany and negative is worse than
truth.
812
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,640
Completely.
And I was like, it's just
813
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,240
realistic.
And you know, Omar, who did the
814
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,600
episode with unofficial
teacher's manual, the author,
815
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:41,200
that book.
Yeah, yeah.
816
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,280
He did a comment actually and
tagged us.
817
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,080
And his comment was basically
like to Mr P was saying if
818
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,360
you're negative, then so am I.
And so I teach the repeat.
819
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,440
Yeah, yeah.
But and then his whole comment
820
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,960
was about how it's not negative.
It it doesn't.
821
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,240
Just because something isn't
nice doesn't mean it's a bad
822
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,800
thing to talk about.
I think it can be good to share
823
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:00,520
those things.
So.
824
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,400
So when someone says all
teachers do is mine online,
825
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,480
you've been very vocal before of
saying you think that the
826
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,560
interpretation of the job is
really important.
827
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,040
So do you think that we go too
far?
828
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,120
I I don't think so.
I don't think we go too far.
829
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,560
I think criticism and moaning
also just get completely banded
830
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:14,840
together as if there's no
difference.
831
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,240
Like as if we can't critique
something without just oh,
832
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,680
negative moaning teachers is
like, can you just listen to the
833
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,080
critique I just gave and said
like and just see if you agree
834
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:24,000
with him.
We have a talk about it
835
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,720
discussion.
Like it doesn't have to just
836
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,840
boil down to oh, just moaning
about nothing.
837
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,800
Well, actually, there was a
valid point that I was talking
838
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,560
about.
Sometimes we do moan, everyone
839
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,200
moans and sometimes it's a scale
that moaning might be less
840
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:36,480
justified.
You're just having a bad day and
841
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,160
you moan about something that
really isn't that bad on your
842
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,560
day at work or whatever.
That is good old classic
843
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,000
moaning.
But most of the time though,
844
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,640
it's not that.
And the only thing I'd say like
845
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,600
with us that just gets me a
little bit is just, is purely
846
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,800
the fact that online when it
comes to clips and reels and
847
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,520
things like that, I, I think
because the, the critiquing
848
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,160
negative Emoni ones, whatever
you want to call it, generally
849
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,240
do better and go more viral and
people listen to them longer.
850
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,400
I worry that people get the
interpretation that we have
851
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,120
nothing positive to say because
they're not the people that
852
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:06,440
aren't.
If you're consuming our long
853
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,840
form podcast, I think I like to
think that we're quite fair and
854
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,480
we have we talk about a lot of
positive things, but I do worry
855
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,560
sometimes it panics me that
people are just does it panic
856
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,240
you not not panic.
I just, well, it does it in a
857
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,800
way because I because I care
about what the way I come
858
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,040
across.
That's my point.
859
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,800
You seem to care more about that
representation.
860
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,440
Yeah, I do care about it.
I think it's important to me.
861
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,000
I guess self, just me,
selfishly.
862
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,040
So I wouldn't want people to
form an opinion because they've
863
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,480
watched seventeen of our reels
and they just happened to all be
864
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,880
things that they just think
maybe are just on the scale of
865
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,960
money, some inconsequential,
some more consequential.
866
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,040
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it's hard.
867
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,960
It's hard on social media
because it's not a case of it's
868
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,440
not even a case of if you follow
us, you see every video we post.
869
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,640
Yeah, it's not how it works.
No, it's just not how it works.
870
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,800
Like we we can put a video out
there that will genuinely get
871
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,680
3000 views, right?
Got nearly 70,000 followers.
872
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,080
You'll get like 3000 views.
We'll put another video out
873
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:56,480
there that will get a million.
Views.
874
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:57,160
Yeah.
Mental.
875
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,320
So it's it's you know, it's
almost like followers is
876
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,000
becoming like a vanity metric
online where actually, you know,
877
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:08,040
it's just what people watch and
and listen to and go all the way
878
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,560
through about skipping past.
Yeah, the algorithm learns that
879
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:11,600
it's something people are
watching.
880
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:12,960
It pushes it out there even
more.
881
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,480
Exactly.
So, you know, absolutely
882
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,800
someone's experience of us
online could just be our six
883
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,920
most watched podcast clips,
which I can probably guarantee
884
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,360
are.
I was going this thing in
885
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,280
education is just completely
broken.
886
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,840
I can think of one that we still
get likes for all the time, 2
887
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,040
rather that we did recently.
One was about how you have to
888
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,520
accept you're letting your kids
down as a teacher because the
889
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,360
system's broken, and to get
through it and not be broken by
890
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,560
the system you just have to
accept that you personally can't
891
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,560
do enough.
And the other one was about how
892
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,280
teaching assistants pay is
dreadful on paper.
893
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,640
Right, and this is where I kind
of disagree with you.
894
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,480
They are both negative things.
The the teaching system is
895
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:52,880
completely broken.
You let your kids down all the
896
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,520
time.
The pay is disgraceful for
897
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:55,720
teaching assistants.
They're exploited.
898
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,960
They are, they are negative
things, right?
899
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,720
I don't care if that's the only
two things people see from us
900
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,840
because I put it out there for a
reason, because I want people to
901
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:04,440
see it.
So if if they're looking at
902
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,280
going, oh, these guys are always
bloody negative, that's I don't
903
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:08,880
see it as a problem.
I see it as a them problem.
904
00:34:09,199 --> 00:34:11,440
So I don't care if you think
that because I think they're two
905
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,199
really important messages to get
across that I thoroughly believe
906
00:34:14,199 --> 00:34:16,000
in.
So it doesn't bother me.
907
00:34:16,199 --> 00:34:18,840
Like if things are being pushed
out there, it's because they're,
908
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,400
it's because people want to
watch it.
909
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,880
It's because people are
literally consuming it.
910
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,639
It only gets pushed out there if
people are taking it in and
911
00:34:25,639 --> 00:34:27,719
reading it.
And most of the time they're
912
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,320
completely agreeing with us.
So if someone, my point here is
913
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,480
if someone looks at it and goes,
why are you so negative?
914
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:33,600
I'm like, mate, that's a you
problem.
915
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,040
It's not negativity, it's
realism, and it's what a lot of
916
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,400
people want to hear.
OK, so rating then.
917
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,800
So if I find because of my
personal reaction to it, which
918
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,719
is clearly very different to
yours, I find when people talk
919
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,679
about all teachers do is moan
and complain like that really
920
00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:48,000
gets me.
That's like 800 and 851 like.
921
00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:51,639
Yeah, I'm like, I'm like 7.
Yeah, really down there.
922
00:34:51,639 --> 00:34:55,239
That didn't bother me, like,
like because I'm like, yeah, we
923
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,320
do that.
What would annoy me is go on to
924
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,280
be like, if someone said you
should only talk about positive
925
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:01,400
stuff.
Yeah, 1000.
926
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:03,760
I just find it undermines
everything.
927
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,360
It's all if someone, when
someone comes to the conclusion
928
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,720
that all teachers do is moan and
complain online, it just, it
929
00:35:08,720 --> 00:35:11,640
annoys me so much because it
because it undermines every
930
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,120
single valid argument and point
people are trying to make about
931
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:15,960
teachers because it's all just
banded together now and that's
932
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,480
just what they think.
And that annoys me that someone
933
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,000
comes to that conclusion.
That's an M problem.
934
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,400
Though, I know, but it really
frustrates me that they get to
935
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:22,840
that conclusion.
It's not.
936
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:24,840
It's not.
But like, we wouldn't be making
937
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,600
these videos if we weren't
trying to change people's minds
938
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,400
and make a bit of a difference.
Like so that the idea that
939
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,560
someone's immediately closed off
to it really pisses me off.
940
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,200
But I don't think those people
would be or not because those
941
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,600
people will see positive and go.
I've seen people before going,
942
00:35:35,720 --> 00:35:37,840
oh finally at last you're not
bashing SLT.
943
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,880
It's like at no point was I
bashing all SLT.
944
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,160
Like people have these, they
already formed these.
945
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,520
You could have the most clear
video in the world saying people
946
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,800
in leadership who are toxic and
do this thing are bad people and
947
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,280
there would still be someone who
goes you hate SLT.
948
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,120
You're a dead brain because it's
not what I said and it's not my
949
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,360
responsibility.
I can't be more clear than the
950
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,320
video I posted.
If you comment something
951
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,480
underneath that is just
literally not what I said in the
952
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,360
video.
That's just, it's not a me
953
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:07,840
problem.
Yeah, if someone just thinks
954
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,600
like, oh, it's just so negative
all the time, you can think
955
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:11,440
that.
That's fine.
956
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,280
It's not my responsibility to
make you not think that.
957
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:14,640
Whatever.
I don't care.
958
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,400
Still triggers me though.
Yeah, still trigger me.
959
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:16,760
That's fine.
So.
960
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,520
Here's another one.
This one's a very good one.
961
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,160
Get a different job if it's that
bad.
962
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,720
OK, this triggers me.
Yeah, District, this is like
963
00:36:24,720 --> 00:36:27,240
874.
Wow, nearly the 9 hundreds.
964
00:36:27,240 --> 00:36:30,200
No, it triggers me a lot because
I know how much of a problem it
965
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,080
is that we are haemorrhaging
teachers like so.
966
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,520
So when people say why don't you
just leave, it's like a double
967
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:36,320
whammy.
Yeah, yeah.
968
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,840
It's like, firstly, you're an
idiot if you think you can't
969
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,040
complain about something without
getting to the point of leaving.
970
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,040
And actually when I was
teaching, I was complaining
971
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,200
about it a lot because I wanted
it to change, because I didn't
972
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,760
want to leave.
The the goal of me talking about
973
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,560
it was that I did not end up
leaving.
974
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,040
So when someone says why don't
you just leave, it annoys me
975
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:56,960
because I'm like, I know I could
just leave.
976
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,200
I don't want to.
That's the point.
977
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,400
That's why I'm saying it's bad
and why they can fix things
978
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,320
because there are very, there
are lots of redeemable things
979
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,280
about teaching.
There's loads of things that
980
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,160
piss me off about teaching.
So I'm going to talk about them
981
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,960
because I want to stay.
And then the double whammy is
982
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,880
why don't you just leave?
Lots of people are and I also
983
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,920
want to stop them from doing
that, which is why I'm doing it.
984
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,600
Just why I'm talking about it.
So it's like it really
985
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,200
triggered.
Me there is 1/3 whammy to this,
986
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:20,960
which is something you said a
lot, so I'm surprised you didn't
987
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,360
say it right then.
Is that so many people to them
988
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,280
Like they're you saying that
it's just like they're thinking,
989
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,240
yeah, I want to and I literally
just can't exactly.
990
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:32,160
I can't like not everyone.
Like it's so silly to just think
991
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,720
that everyone can just up and
silly, silly.
992
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,040
I can just up and leave their
job because I don't like this
993
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,240
anymore.
I'm quitting tomorrow.
994
00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:41,560
So come on.
Like the reality for most normal
995
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,040
working people is you cannot do
that.
996
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,360
You're tied into a mortgage or
rent or somewhere.
997
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,720
You can't just take some crazy
financial risk like that.
998
00:37:49,240 --> 00:37:50,520
Some people can.
That's great.
999
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,720
Yeah, cool.
A lot of people can't.
1000
00:37:52,720 --> 00:37:54,680
And you just saying why don't
you just quit then is really not
1001
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,160
helpful as you.
Make the answer and the answer
1002
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:57,760
because I've got a mortgage
bills.
1003
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,600
Yeah, yeah.
So it's a job between those
1004
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:00,480
three things.
I agree.
1005
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:01,920
By the way, I find this, it's
really tricky.
1006
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,840
And why don't you just quit?
It's just so like for those
1007
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,720
three reasons, it's just so
wrong.
1008
00:38:07,720 --> 00:38:10,360
I'm like, come on, Like just
think about what you're saying a
1009
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,120
bit more.
Do you want everyone to quit?
1010
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:13,920
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's always my favourite.
1011
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,240
Well, I had this, I had this
argument with my stepdad years
1012
00:38:16,240 --> 00:38:17,960
ago, right.
Like we, we always debate about
1013
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,360
running stuff like this and
you'll never be on my real dad.
1014
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:22,120
Yeah, that doesn't end up like
that.
1015
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,880
But he was like, Oh yeah, you're
just, I think we're actually
1016
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:25,920
talking about nurses at the
time.
1017
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:27,400
And then it kind of went on to
teachers as well.
1018
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:28,640
Were you a teacher at this
point?
1019
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:29,560
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah.
1020
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:30,880
I think it went on to you.
Yeah, yeah.
1021
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,040
I think it was around the time
of like nurse strikes and
1022
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,080
teachers strikes and public,
just public service strikes.
1023
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,680
And it was all up in the air.
And he's like, oh, do you know
1024
00:38:37,720 --> 00:38:39,600
what?
If the job's that bad, just go
1025
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,240
and get another one.
And it just, I hate that
1026
00:38:42,240 --> 00:38:44,600
argument so much.
I'm like, cool, OK, imagine if
1027
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,240
everyone took your advice.
Imagine if they all just did
1028
00:38:47,240 --> 00:38:49,520
that.
What what the hospital was going
1029
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,400
to run by fairies.
Like, what do you think is going
1030
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:52,880
to happen?
No one's going to educate our
1031
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,360
kids.
How about we focus on fixing the
1032
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,320
problems that making everyone
want to quit rather than just
1033
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,400
telling them all to go and get
another job because, you know,
1034
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,320
that's not a solution.
It's dumb.
1035
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,720
It's not a real solution.
And that's what I said to.
1036
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,080
Them it's the same thing when
people say like flippantly,
1037
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,640
like, you know, when they talk
about how long the summer
1038
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,040
holidays are and stuff, well,
they get loads of time off.
1039
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:13,480
Just make them come in for
another 4 weeks.
1040
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,040
I was like, OK, let's just
ignore every reason why.
1041
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:18,280
It's just ridiculous what you're
saying.
1042
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,120
Let's just say that happened.
Yeah.
1043
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,400
And we got to the point we were
like, OK, yeah, four extra
1044
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,760
weeks.
OK, one of two things needs to
1045
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,880
happen.
You pay the teachers for the
1046
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,200
extra 4 weeks that they'll be in
work for the extra directed
1047
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,240
time, right?
So that won't happen.
1048
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:32,000
No.
Right.
1049
00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:34,800
Or it remains the same amount of
pay and you just expect them to
1050
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,240
work more for some reason,
Despite that being completely
1051
00:39:37,240 --> 00:39:39,280
ridiculously backwards thought
that would never apply to any
1052
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,120
job ever.
You do more work, please, for
1053
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,840
the same pay.
OK, I will leave.
1054
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,360
And then there'll be a Max
exodus of teachers and then you
1055
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,040
won't have enough teachers to
teach the children.
1056
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,320
So it's like, OK, which one of
those situations do you want?
1057
00:39:52,720 --> 00:39:56,280
It costs way more or you don't
have enough teachers because
1058
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:57,800
that's what will happen when you
make that change.
1059
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,160
And there is people who can't
think past the end of their nose
1060
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,920
because they're so far up their
own backside that they just
1061
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,320
think bloody teachers.
I could just say this thing
1062
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,640
because it will make old people
get really up for it and say
1063
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,360
they're really bloody lazy.
And I'm going to put it in the
1064
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:12,800
Daily Mail tomorrow.
I'm going to say lazy teachers
1065
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,720
when I work for my and it work,
it'll work.
1066
00:40:15,720 --> 00:40:19,120
It'll get people saying it, but
but if you actually just follow
1067
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,000
through with what would happen,
it would be.
1068
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,520
It's a logical thought trend.
Do you think there's a middle
1069
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:24,760
ground though?
Genuinely, based on everything
1070
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,920
we just said, where people might
think, yeah, just do the one, We
1071
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,520
don't pay them more because like
we've just established, there
1072
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,200
won't be a mass exodus because
so many, too many people are
1073
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:34,600
just tied into the job.
They won't be able to leave.
1074
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,040
They'll just be horribly unhappy
instead.
1075
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,880
Some somewhere, but it'll push
some to leave.
1076
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,680
It'll push some to leave who are
on the edge of doing.
1077
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:40,560
It'll just say, do you know
what?
1078
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,440
It's not worth my yeah, it's not
worth your health.
1079
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,720
And no, not even if they can.
They'll just take a pay cut and
1080
00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:46,200
survive, right?
Because there are some people
1081
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,840
who can but choose not to.
Like can is such a loaded word
1082
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,280
here.
Like there are some people who
1083
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,520
will obviously who could just go
and get another job and take
1084
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,280
even like a 10 to 15 grand pay
cut.
1085
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,240
There are some people who could
do that and have a lower quality
1086
00:40:59,240 --> 00:41:00,160
of life.
I'm not saying it wouldn't
1087
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:01,200
affect.
Yeah, they'd have massive.
1088
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:02,720
Sacrifice, I'm not saying yeah,
I'm not saying it wouldn't
1089
00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:03,840
affect them, but they can do
that.
1090
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,240
So it what I'm saying is for a
lot of those people that would
1091
00:41:06,240 --> 00:41:07,840
just tip them over to be like,
it's not life anymore.
1092
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:09,760
Yeah, I'd rather go and have a
much less stressful job.
1093
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:11,880
It won't have the same quality
of life, but I won't be as
1094
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,040
stressed.
And to me, that's worth the
1095
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:14,440
money.
Yeah, it'll, it'll tip people
1096
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:15,560
over the edge and.
They weren't think of that
1097
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,160
before, but now they are.
Exactly that it'll tip people
1098
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,800
over the edge, but it will also
have a detriment on recruitment.
1099
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,840
It'd become it'd become far less
true, far less job like
1100
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,120
appeasing job.
Yeah, we're already struggling.
1101
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:27,600
With that's the biggest argument
I think that.
1102
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:29,960
Yeah, it'd be both, but it would
just make some people more leave
1103
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:31,120
who wouldn't?
Because there will be some
1104
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,040
people on that line who are
should I, Should I, Oh my God, I
1105
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:35,480
will now.
And they'll just take the hit
1106
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,160
and then recruitment went and
then give it four or five years.
1107
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:39,800
Yeah, nonsense.
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
1108
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,280
So that's quite a triggering 1
then Quite a triggering.
1109
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,680
One quite triggering and dinged
go on crack on you.
1110
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,720
Did one good job, all right.
Teachers are just brainwashing
1111
00:41:48,720 --> 00:41:50,600
the next generation with
personal politics.
1112
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:55,240
This is actually honestly like
907 really.
1113
00:41:55,240 --> 00:41:57,040
This really triggers.
Me into the 9:00.
1114
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:58,240
Hundreds.
It really triggers me.
1115
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,560
Is it because you are doing that
and you hate being pulled out?
1116
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,360
You heard it here.
First, because I want my lefty
1117
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,800
WOKI beta liberal agenda to be
out there to the masses.
1118
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,080
That's why.
Yeah, like, let me do it.
1119
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,440
Yeah, it it really triggers me.
Is it?
1120
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,800
Is it triggering?
Because again, like the other
1121
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,160
ones, they're just so far from
the truth as to what's happening
1122
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,160
in schools or.
It, yeah.
1123
00:42:20,240 --> 00:42:22,120
Is that a bit really There's
there's like there's so many,
1124
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,280
there's so many reasons why it
triggers me, which why
1125
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:25,800
amalgamates, that's one of them.
Yeah.
1126
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:31,520
I think that you see the odd
article in GB News Online of
1127
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,640
something that is genuinely bad,
right?
1128
00:42:34,720 --> 00:42:38,360
That is genuinely maybe the
example of a teacher going too
1129
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,720
far of the personal beliefs with
the class and I would say that's
1130
00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:43,240
bad practise.
You should do it where?
1131
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:44,800
No matter where my politics
lies.
1132
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,440
Of course, which?
Obviously happens in every job
1133
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:47,920
ever.
By the way, just to clarify,
1134
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,160
teachers, I'm perfect, right?
That's my point I was going to
1135
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,840
make is this is you.
You see that?
1136
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,280
And the thing that triggers me
is when people go say our kids
1137
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,520
are bloody ruined in this next
generation.
1138
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:04,360
Yeah mate, I have taught for 10
years and it does not happen
1139
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:05,720
where?
I'm not saying it doesn't happen
1140
00:43:05,720 --> 00:43:08,240
at all, but to suggest that
therefore it's happening
1141
00:43:08,240 --> 00:43:12,680
everywhere is just stupid
because you've seen one thing
1142
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,720
and what it is, is you want to
believe that this is happening
1143
00:43:15,720 --> 00:43:18,280
everywhere.
So you see one example, you see,
1144
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:19,880
see that's happening everywhere.
It's ridiculous.
1145
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:21,920
It's not.
It is not.
1146
00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:24,040
This kind of indoctrination is
not happening everywhere.
1147
00:43:24,240 --> 00:43:25,440
That's one reason why it annoys
me.
1148
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:30,000
Another reason I'll throw this
back to you is the definition of
1149
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:34,640
indoctrination for some other
people will just be ridiculous
1150
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,600
and it's not indoctrination.
For example, there'll be some
1151
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:41,920
people if they walked into a
school and they saw some kind of
1152
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:46,160
poster or something on the wall
which was about welcoming
1153
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,400
everyone, everyone's welcome
here.
1154
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:55,120
Or even something as specific as
we don't stand for anti racism,
1155
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,880
right?
There are some people who look
1156
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,640
at that and go bloody
indoctrination shouldn't be in
1157
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,640
schools.
And that's the other thing that
1158
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,760
really, really triggers me.
It's like you're you're you're a
1159
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,800
you're an idiot.
Yeah, there's not, there's not
1160
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,360
there is a big, there was a big
thing in America recently where
1161
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,400
it was basically pushing back
against everyone.
1162
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,080
Malcolm.
There was just a post saying
1163
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,360
everyone welcome and there and
there was a big, big push back
1164
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,160
from parents saying it's
indoctrination.
1165
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,760
You shouldn't be saying stuff
like that because their
1166
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,080
interpretation of that.
And it was the whole thing with
1167
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:29,640
with trans ideology racism.
Border.
1168
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,480
Control everything you can think
about because they saw the words
1169
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,480
everyone welcome.
Which is just a nice thing to
1170
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:38,760
have in a school, by the way.
Yeah, yeah.
1171
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:39,800
Yeah.
It's a school.
1172
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,480
Come in, everyone's welcome.
We make this.
1173
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,560
They saw that and they were
like, oh, that's political.
1174
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,240
That's brainwashing.
You shouldn't be teaching kids.
1175
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,600
You shouldn't be teaching.
Kids that everyone's welcome.
1176
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,960
That's mad, isn't it?
Yeah, that's just got so far
1177
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,600
down the line of of that's why I
get annoyed division, isn't it?
1178
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,240
Yeah, that's crazy to me.
And it do you know what's more
1179
00:44:55,240 --> 00:44:57,200
annoying is the fact that I can.
I understood so quickly why
1180
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:00,400
people would think that as well.
I mean, I didn't I I like I'm so
1181
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,440
I'm so attuned to the the
madness of the world right now
1182
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,840
that I could immediately think
of four reasons why a bunch of
1183
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,200
parents in America, yeah,
particularly would be looking at
1184
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:09,680
being.
That's not true because it got
1185
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,560
based all the things you just
said because they don't like the
1186
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,840
trans move and they don't.
Like think, are you saying
1187
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,200
paedophiles are welcome?
No, Yeah, yeah, that's.
1188
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,640
Legit, but that's in my head.
I'm like, oh, I reckon they
1189
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:20,520
think that, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
1190
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:21,720
That's what I.
Mean I'm like, that's not fair
1191
00:45:21,720 --> 00:45:22,880
enough.
That's mental.
1192
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,400
Yeah, they're mental.
These people are crazy.
1193
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,520
Yeah, of course everyone in this
school is welcome.
1194
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,640
Everyone which is all of the
people here, they're all
1195
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,520
welcome.
That's what that means.
1196
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,000
It means everyone coming into
this school right now, which,
1197
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,480
yeah, by definition is the
people that go to this school.
1198
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:39,560
You can think of the worst
person in the world, right, And
1199
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,560
apply that and say you should
see you're you're saying that if
1200
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:44,520
Hitler was around now, you'd be
welcoming me.
1201
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:48,320
Oh my God, like nonsense.
Like that's where then I'm like,
1202
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,920
come on, come on.
It's just, it's just ridiculous.
1203
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:52,880
The whole, the whole idea,
because you kind of get into it
1204
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,000
with indoctrination,
brainwashing.
1205
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:57,960
I've always found that
fascinating because I'm like, it
1206
00:45:57,960 --> 00:45:59,920
is quite subjective in terms of
what we define as
1207
00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:02,880
indoctrination, really.
In terms of like, I'm sure
1208
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,640
someone, anyone could justify
literally anything we ever tell.
1209
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,480
Like the purpose of school is
indoctrination to an extent,
1210
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,840
right?
We're indoctrinating these young
1211
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:15,240
mammals in into the specific
culture that we live in and
1212
00:46:15,240 --> 00:46:16,840
speak.
Language properly without.
1213
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:18,840
You speaking English in this
country, are you?
1214
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:20,840
That's indoctrination into that
language, yeah.
1215
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:24,240
Kind of like because we all
speak English here, like I guess
1216
00:46:24,240 --> 00:46:26,400
so if you want to call that
indoctrination.
1217
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,560
Oh, doing maths every day on the
timetable, indoctrinating them
1218
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,000
and thinking maths is what?
OK.
1219
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:31,520
And reading is.
Yeah, reading.
1220
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:33,440
Yeah, we also do that.
Is that indoctrination?
1221
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,640
Like, Oh yeah, we've prioritised
teaching kids to read.
1222
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:37,320
I bet the reading's in English
as well, isn't it?
1223
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,320
Well, that's indoctrination.
I find it a strange concept
1224
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,200
basically, is what I'm saying.
Like I think there are levels,
1225
00:46:42,240 --> 00:46:43,120
right.
Of course there are.
1226
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:44,320
I think there are.
Easy to point out.
1227
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,800
Definitely when it comes to
extremities, like it's very easy
1228
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:48,200
to say that's that's just clear
cut.
1229
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:49,680
We all agree that's.
But it's indoctrination.
1230
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:51,040
Indoctrination.
If you're saying it's
1231
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,080
indoctrination to teach English
every day, I think that's a bit
1232
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:54,480
wild.
I think that's a bit wild as
1233
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:55,440
well.
I think that's more extreme on
1234
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:56,880
the other side I.
Think it's indoctrination?
1235
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,080
Being but I think someone might
say in a way it is because
1236
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,760
you're teaching kids to think a
specific way.
1237
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,520
I don't know.
Does it fall under that
1238
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:06,280
category?
I don't know.
1239
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,240
Like is teaching just by
definition indoctrination?
1240
00:47:10,240 --> 00:47:12,080
That's kind of what I'm getting
at, and I might be genuine, I
1241
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:13,320
might be wrong.
Genuinely, I'm.
1242
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,960
Going to read it out.
Indoctrination is the process of
1243
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,320
forcefully or persistently
teaching a person or group to
1244
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,840
accept a specific set of
beliefs, ideologies, or
1245
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:22,760
doctrines.
OK.
1246
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:24,360
So I think it's more
specifically like.
1247
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,400
So academics wouldn't count.
That's not beliefs or
1248
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:27,320
ideologies.
That's fair enough.
1249
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:28,440
That's fair enough.
And I think that's why
1250
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,880
indoctrination separately, you
can kind of, I can kind of see
1251
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:33,800
why people separate and say you
shouldn't be indoctrinating
1252
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,120
anything because what they're
saying is the role of school is
1253
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,280
to not go into beliefs or moral
moralistics.
1254
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,680
Yeah.
But I I personally think it's
1255
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,600
fine to go into the realms of
morals when it's just a blanket
1256
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,400
thing.
Of course it is and and also.
1257
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,520
But some people say it's not.
Yeah, and, and, and, but, But if
1258
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,800
you're persistently saying to
people, right, Case, here's the
1259
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,080
troubling bit, which goes
against what we both think,
1260
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:53,520
right?
Yeah.
1261
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,400
But I'm going to play devil's
advocate a bit here.
1262
00:47:55,720 --> 00:47:59,400
Some will say that persistently
saying whatever it is, if it's a
1263
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,040
moral outlook on, like
persistently if it's a moral
1264
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:03,880
outlook on life and like the
acceptance of absolutely
1265
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:06,000
everyone no matter what, if
you're persistently saying that
1266
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,920
to the children and teaching
them that every day, that is
1267
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:09,800
indoctrination.
Yeah.
1268
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:11,560
In the same way you just talked
about how reading would be
1269
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:12,560
indoctrination, but we don't
care.
1270
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,120
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're saying, OK, maybe not,
1271
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:18,200
but, but maybe it is
indoctrination.
1272
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,400
But maybe what we're saying is
some indoctrination is OK.
1273
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:22,560
That's the point I'm trying to
make.
1274
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:23,840
I've got one more thing to back
this up.
1275
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:25,840
Right.
Literally part of the basically
1276
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,360
every UK school is something to
do with British culture.
1277
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:30,760
Yeah.
That is inherently based on that
1278
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:32,760
definition is indoctrination
completely.
1279
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:34,720
But we all obviously think
that's OK because we live in
1280
00:48:34,720 --> 00:48:35,440
Britain.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1281
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,080
So like no one has a problem
with teaching British culture in
1282
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,360
in British schools to kids who
are growing up in British
1283
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,080
culture.
Yeah, some, but it is what maybe
1284
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:43,800
they do.
But it is indoctrination.
1285
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,480
Yes, in in the literal sense, in
the same way that what you just
1286
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:47,960
said about saying everyone.
And faith schools.
1287
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,520
Like right faith.
Schools getting kids to walk in
1288
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,920
to an assembly and sit down and
all chant back a reading from
1289
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,040
the Bible.
That is indoctrination, and for
1290
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:58,480
me that goes above the line.
I think that's bad, I think
1291
00:48:58,480 --> 00:48:59,840
that's wrong, and I think that's
bad.
1292
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:01,160
Objectively, I don't think we
should be.
1293
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:02,720
Doing no matter what the.
Faith I don't think we should be
1294
00:49:02,720 --> 00:49:04,280
doing no matter what the faith,
it's nothing to do with the
1295
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:04,880
faith.
It's to do with the
1296
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:06,960
indoctrination of, of making
children believe in a God.
1297
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,320
I don't think that's OK.
And other people, most people in
1298
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,120
fact, disagree with me on that
one.
1299
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,040
So, so that's my whole overall
point here is it's obviously
1300
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:18,200
subjective.
So indoctrination itself, if
1301
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,320
someone's saying we've got
really deep here, if someone's
1302
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,360
saying you're just
indoctrinating the kids, the
1303
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,440
answer really probably should
be, yeah, we are.
1304
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:26,920
Yeah.
But you know, the act of
1305
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,360
indoctrination itself isn't
necessarily a bad thing, but we
1306
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,360
should be looking at what we're
doing with indoctrination.
1307
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,960
But the the the people hear what
I'm saying here and get
1308
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:36,440
immediately triggered because
they have this idea of
1309
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:38,120
indoctrination being negative
all the time.
1310
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,360
Yeah, yeah, of course.
Indoctrination is persistently
1311
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:44,040
putting across the and, and
teaching an ideology, A belief,
1312
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,400
a set of values.
So if you agree with that
1313
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,160
ideology, belief, a set of
values, you obviously don't
1314
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,280
think that it's a bad thing.
But if you disagree with them,
1315
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:51,520
then you obviously think it is a
bad thing.
1316
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:52,960
And that's where this comes
from.
1317
00:49:53,240 --> 00:49:55,800
People will be saying, you know,
I, I personally disagree with
1318
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:57,240
that.
Whether we think that's
1319
00:49:57,240 --> 00:50:00,000
acceptable or not, they will
personally disagree with it.
1320
00:50:00,720 --> 00:50:04,560
Do they have the right to in a
public school, no matter what me
1321
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:06,000
and you think is acceptable or
not?
1322
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:07,680
Do they have a right in a public
school?
1323
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:09,040
No matter.
It doesn't matter if we think
1324
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:11,000
they're right or wrong.
Do they have the right to say
1325
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:12,920
you shouldn't be doing that to
my kids, stick to academics.
1326
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,320
I think they have the right to
have an opinion.
1327
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,080
Of course they do.
The thing just going back to
1328
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,240
this to really clear, the thing
that triggers me about it is
1329
00:50:19,240 --> 00:50:21,200
when people, and you basically
just said this, I'm going to say
1330
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,360
it again, is when people decide
to call it brainwashing when
1331
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:26,880
it's something they don't agree
with and they don't think it's
1332
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:28,400
brainwashing when it is
something they agree with.
1333
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:31,040
That's what annoys me because
it's like they can't even agree
1334
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,680
that in this idea of
brainwashing, indoctrination is
1335
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,360
subjective in the 1st place.
It's like, oh for God's sake.
1336
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,400
So, oh, it's brainwashing our
kids with this political
1337
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,440
ideology.
But if I was teaching your
1338
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,440
political ideology, you wouldn't
call that brainwashing, would
1339
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,520
you?
So, yeah, reform recently a
1340
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,440
reform candidate went into a
school and did a talk about
1341
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:49,840
reform, and obviously all the
reform people are absolutely
1342
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:50,480
loving it.
Yeah, of course.
1343
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,000
And it was just, it was just
like, just think for one second
1344
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:54,240
about everything you've said
about schools.
1345
00:50:54,240 --> 00:50:56,840
If you think about the typical
reform candidate of how it's
1346
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,440
awful and stuff, you can't, you
don't get to now not think it's
1347
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,480
awful.
You don't, you don't get to now
1348
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:03,960
think that's OK because it's
what you believe in that.
1349
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:08,400
That story, I've seen that as
well, triggered me at 1000 on
1350
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:10,160
this scale.
Yeah, because of the reason we
1351
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,400
just established.
That's what annoyed me so much.
1352
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,240
Indoctrination is OK, but it's
what I want, yeah.
1353
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,320
That ohh God I just can't stand
it.
1354
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,120
I do think just be really clear,
the teachers are brainwashing
1355
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:20,480
the next generation of personal
politics.
1356
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,000
I think there's a really good
debate to have here about where
1357
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,240
the line is in in school.
You should do it in general
1358
00:51:25,240 --> 00:51:27,840
about politics and certainly
personal politics.
1359
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,440
I think that's a reasonable
opinion and debate to have.
1360
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:31,680
To talk.
It's not happening lots.
1361
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,000
But yeah, that isn't happening
lots.
1362
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:34,800
No, no, no.
The personal politics thing of
1363
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:36,880
someone in the classroom giving
their personal politics to the
1364
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:38,480
class.
I I agree that's bad.
1365
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:39,560
And I don't think it happened as
much.
1366
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:41,800
The wider point of
indoctrination is an interesting
1367
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:42,800
one.
Yeah, because you could have
1368
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:46,080
someone walk past, imagine you
walk into a school and and
1369
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,360
they're on the way to the hall,
right, to deliver an assembly
1370
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:53,720
and they walk past something on
the wall and it's about anti
1371
00:51:53,720 --> 00:51:58,240
racism and and they think, oh
God, and it's there any need for
1372
00:51:58,240 --> 00:51:59,760
that?
Like, oh God in that's all.
1373
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:01,240
Oh gosh.
And they go to they go to the
1374
00:52:01,240 --> 00:52:04,200
hall and then they're delivering
a sermon on Christianity.
1375
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:08,120
Yeah.
It's like, OK, you've decided,
1376
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:12,360
you've decided if you have that
thought train, you've decided
1377
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:14,640
personally which indoctrination
to you is acceptable or not.
1378
00:52:15,240 --> 00:52:19,960
And so, so putting it all back,
you know, should schools not do
1379
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:21,680
any?
I know this is this is what I've
1380
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:23,480
I've never got to a conclusion
of this argument.
1381
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:25,600
I felt like we've even off the
podcast had this conversation.
1382
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:27,120
I don't know what the solution
is.
1383
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:30,000
I just know the only thing we
shouldn't be doing is completely
1384
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,280
ignoring the fact that the
hypocrisy.
1385
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:34,320
That's it, that's it.
We should just stop.
1386
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:39,680
Let's we should try.
We should aim to be as like the
1387
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:42,200
least hypocritical we possibly
can be when we're talking about
1388
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:43,360
that.
That for me is the first step.
1389
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,520
And we're not even there in
terms of like, will we ever be
1390
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:48,080
able to draw a line?
Probably not, no.
1391
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:49,760
Basically, like the world is
constantly changing.
1392
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,360
Culture is constantly changing,
Opinions constantly change.
1393
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:54,800
And this is all about the
subjectivity of culture and
1394
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:56,400
opinion.
So it's an impossible task.
1395
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,280
But that example you gave
happens if people walk in
1396
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,040
through, I don't agree with that
indoctrination.
1397
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,560
Here's my indoctrination.
It's like, for Christ's sake,
1398
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:07,160
like at least accept that that
is hypocrisy and then we can
1399
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,320
maybe talk.
Imagine like there's a racist
1400
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,120
incident on the playground and
it goes to the teacher and they
1401
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,440
go, sorry, can't get involved in
this belief system of whether
1402
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:16,480
this is good or bad.
No, it's bad.
1403
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:17,560
Yeah, it's bad.
It's bad.
1404
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:19,720
So we can say it's bad.
Like there has to be like
1405
00:53:19,720 --> 00:53:21,520
there's some obviously some
stuff that's just true.
1406
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,360
True.
So, so like, should schools do
1407
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:26,280
beliefs and system and and
morality?
1408
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,600
Of course they should.
Of course they should.
1409
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:31,080
Yeah, But it's tricky where the
line is.
1410
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:32,720
Yeah, hard.
And you're interested.
1411
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,560
So yeah, this, this imaginary
person we made-up.
1412
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:37,160
Yeah.
Put them to rights, haven't we?
1413
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:38,520
Definitely.
It's probably a business studies
1414
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:40,800
teacher.
I've made enemies there.
1415
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,160
Yeah, you have?
No, I just, I just.
1416
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:48,720

like, you have to have had some
1417
00:53:48,720 --> 00:53:49,680
experience.
Yeah.
1418
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:52,240
You have to have had some
experience doing it in order to

No.
