1
00:00:00,050 --> 00:00:01,450
Hello everyone.
Welcome back to another episode

2
00:00:01,460 --> 00:00:04,750
of Teach, Sleep, Repeat.
My name is Dylan and my name is

3
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,920
Hayden.
This is gonna be an unhinged

4
00:00:06,930 --> 00:00:09,830
episode by the Can't Wait for
it, Guys, welcome back.

5
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,250
Hope you're happy.
Whether you're on the way back

6
00:00:12,260 --> 00:00:14,270
from school because you're in
Australia listening, whether

7
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,010
you're on your way to school
because you're in the UK

8
00:00:16,020 --> 00:00:18,430
listening, or whether you're
asleep right now you're in

9
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,400
America.
Or listening at any time other

10
00:00:21,410 --> 00:00:22,650
than the precise moment we
released.

11
00:00:22,660 --> 00:00:24,180
It yeah, because this is not a
radio show.

12
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:25,890
You can assist whenever you
want.

13
00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:27,480
Guys, how you doing?
Hope you're well.

14
00:00:27,490 --> 00:00:29,210
Hayden, are you OK?
Yeah, I'm just thinking about

15
00:00:29,220 --> 00:00:32,800
our listeners in 20-30.
Wow, what's life like now for

16
00:00:32,810 --> 00:00:34,180
you Right into us?
Let us know.

17
00:00:34,230 --> 00:00:35,550
Weird.
Are we both still teaching

18
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,390
bloody?
I'm not. 2030 Crikey.

19
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,920
I don't wanna think about 2013.
Be way too old for teaching.

20
00:00:43,930 --> 00:00:46,190
Then I was thinking about it
earlier, 10 years ago.

21
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,430
I was probably deciding to go
into teaching scaring them.

22
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:53,260
Yeah, well, what I've achieved
in 10 years, I'm slightly better

23
00:00:53,270 --> 00:00:55,540
at teaching maths.
You lost a bit weight recently,

24
00:00:55,550 --> 00:00:57,370
so that's good.
Yeah, that's good because I

25
00:00:57,380 --> 00:00:58,530
don't have listeners.
I don't know.

26
00:00:58,540 --> 00:01:00,050
I don't actually.
I don't actually know listeners

27
00:01:00,060 --> 00:01:01,120
out there.
How many of you?

28
00:01:01,130 --> 00:01:02,630
Are occurring.
We have listened to.

29
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:03,490
Be honest.
How many?

30
00:01:03,500 --> 00:01:05,790
Wherever We just get like a new
few 100 every time we do an

31
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,050
episode or their brand new
people.

32
00:01:07,060 --> 00:01:10,140
I don't know how this works.
Yeah, but we did do a New Year's

33
00:01:10,150 --> 00:01:11,630
resolution at the start of the
year.

34
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,910
For me it was the night sugar.
For Hayden, it was to do some

35
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,540
kind of fasting diet, absolute
fat of a diet, but to pretend

36
00:01:16,550 --> 00:01:17,550
that it was going to work for
him.

37
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,900
How did that work out for you?
Uh, I'm pretty good, yeah.

38
00:01:20,910 --> 00:01:23,950
Yeah, didn't.
And for anyone who's interested,

39
00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:26,360
it's the 9th of March and I
still not eating any sugar in

40
00:01:26,370 --> 00:01:28,820
terms of additional additional
sugar and I'm looking great for

41
00:01:28,830 --> 00:01:29,570
it.
Yeah.

42
00:01:29,630 --> 00:01:32,000
And Hayden, you are looking
yourself.

43
00:01:32,670 --> 00:01:34,320
Thank you.
That's really kind of you.

44
00:01:34,390 --> 00:01:36,460
It's funny because obviously I
spent a lot of time with Dylan.

45
00:01:36,630 --> 00:01:38,800
And do you?
Yeah.

46
00:01:38,870 --> 00:01:40,620
And he has all.
This is good.

47
00:01:40,630 --> 00:01:42,260
This is a good thing.
But it is funny to see how.

48
00:01:42,270 --> 00:01:43,990
Depressed.
This is good.

49
00:01:44,250 --> 00:01:46,840
Because you replaced the sugar
without the food, obviously,

50
00:01:46,850 --> 00:01:49,100
just to make out.
And every, I reckon, every

51
00:01:49,110 --> 00:01:50,830
single time.
I've seen you in the day.

52
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,320
And it's not just to record the
podcast.

53
00:01:52,330 --> 00:01:53,450
You've done like lunch or
whatever.

54
00:01:53,460 --> 00:01:55,690
Yeah, you've eaten a pint of
grapes every time.

55
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,330
Whole.
Great friends about this because

56
00:01:57,340 --> 00:01:59,370
grapes are renowned as the most
sugary possible fruit.

57
00:01:59,380 --> 00:02:02,470
You eat the whole lot.
That's my vice in terms of I

58
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,420
reckon that I eat.
I've stopped recently because I

59
00:02:05,430 --> 00:02:08,070
thought I also shouldn't be
doing that, but it is natural.

60
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,130
But I reckon I averaged 2
punnets of grapes a week.

61
00:02:11,180 --> 00:02:13,850
Ohh.
Yeah, because I tend to only you

62
00:02:13,860 --> 00:02:15,770
tend to see me when I have them
because we go to the shop for

63
00:02:15,780 --> 00:02:19,280
dinner for lunch or something.
But I've started to drink a

64
00:02:19,290 --> 00:02:21,820
drink called Kefir.
This is a health podcast now.

65
00:02:21,830 --> 00:02:24,540
By the way, guys, don't you know
about your gut microbiome?

66
00:02:24,590 --> 00:02:27,460
Because I'll be very honest, my
some of my friends obviously

67
00:02:27,470 --> 00:02:29,060
listen.
To this Ohh anyway, moving on

68
00:02:29,540 --> 00:02:31,660
you know.
We have a group chat with my

69
00:02:31,670 --> 00:02:34,960
friends and they're just a bit
obsessed at the minute with like

70
00:02:35,070 --> 00:02:38,560
eating clean and helping your
gut microbiome.

71
00:02:38,570 --> 00:02:41,530
And not don't eat bread from the
shop guys don't eat bread from

72
00:02:41,540 --> 00:02:42,860
the shop.
That's not food.

73
00:02:43,530 --> 00:02:44,530
James.
James.

74
00:02:45,550 --> 00:02:48,790
James is real real 1 James real
from the financial planning you

75
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,300
see in the group chat.
Group chat.

76
00:02:50,820 --> 00:02:52,310
Ohh, yeah.
No, but he's not someone who's

77
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,790
pushing the whole.
No, no, no.

78
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,450
Now it's busy financially
planning.

79
00:02:55,460 --> 00:02:56,850
Exactly.
It's really well as well.

80
00:02:56,860 --> 00:02:59,140
So if anyone wants any financial
planning, yeah, cause James And

81
00:02:59,150 --> 00:03:01,200
that's funny.
But anyway, yeah, so I was OK,

82
00:03:01,210 --> 00:03:02,690
I'll try it out.
It's good for the gut

83
00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:04,950
microbiome, don't you know?
I don't.

84
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,820
I do now, yeah.
You told me three times.

85
00:03:06,830 --> 00:03:09,590
You know it's also good for the
gut microbiome, 17 cream eggs

86
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:10,590
being today.
Brilliant.

87
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,410
And also not pulling this wire
that's connected.

88
00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:16,000
Sorry, not do that.
Anyway, anyway, how you been?

89
00:03:16,010 --> 00:03:16,530
How's your?
Week.

90
00:03:16,860 --> 00:03:18,210
Yeah, lovely.
You.

91
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,930
Fantastic.
By the way, if you're listening

92
00:03:20,940 --> 00:03:23,670
to this, do you actually like it
when we sit and chat about all

93
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,760
week or do you do you skip past
it and you might even hear this?

94
00:03:26,870 --> 00:03:29,880
Or do you just get for it
because you're like when honest

95
00:03:29,890 --> 00:03:32,020
to God, one of these guys gonna
stop talking about that week.

96
00:03:32,030 --> 00:03:33,060
Don't care.
Go on to the.

97
00:03:33,070 --> 00:03:34,660
Episode.
No one cares, I reckon.

98
00:03:34,730 --> 00:03:35,900
My gut feeling I'm quite.
Insecure.

99
00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:37,100
You've got.
You've got microbiome.

100
00:03:37,170 --> 00:03:41,270
My my massive gut feeling is
that is that people don't care,

101
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,080
but I'm quite insecure about
that because I just think, why

102
00:03:43,090 --> 00:03:43,720
would anyone?
Care.

103
00:03:43,790 --> 00:03:47,080
I think mine goes all the way
back to there are people

104
00:03:47,090 --> 00:03:49,300
listening every week.
What?

105
00:03:49,570 --> 00:03:51,580
We're just two teachers?
Who?

106
00:03:51,670 --> 00:03:53,990
They're just two dudes.
Get on the microphone, man.

107
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,460
We start talking, man, about
stuff we want to change, man.

108
00:03:56,470 --> 00:03:57,810
We're gonna change the world,
man.

109
00:03:58,060 --> 00:03:58,990
Wow.
How's your weekend?

110
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,690
Yeah, it's been good.
So a couple of things.

111
00:04:00,700 --> 00:04:02,180
I'll be quicker this time.
Yeah, right.

112
00:04:02,190 --> 00:04:03,450
It's weird because you said you
don't care.

113
00:04:03,460 --> 00:04:05,320
You have prepared a whole thing
about the week I've.

114
00:04:05,330 --> 00:04:06,990
Prepared it.
I don't think anyone will want

115
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:07,600
to know.
OK.

116
00:04:07,610 --> 00:04:09,370
Well forming.
Quick thing ready First thing

117
00:04:09,410 --> 00:04:11,550
child update River is now
rolling a.

118
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,570
Lot you got daughter.
Yeah, I've got a daughter.

119
00:04:13,580 --> 00:04:17,810
You got new house, didn't you?
River is now rolling a lot and

120
00:04:17,820 --> 00:04:20,149
she has now decided that she
likes sleeping on her front.

121
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,290
She's nearly four months old,
very, very anxiety inducing

122
00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:25,720
because every time I look, I go
and see her sleeping.

123
00:04:25,730 --> 00:04:28,580
She's on her front face down and
I'm just like, oh God, is she

124
00:04:28,590 --> 00:04:30,570
breathing?
So that's quite scary.

125
00:04:30,740 --> 00:04:32,490
But other than that, she's
really cute.

126
00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:34,070
Just.
Crying about, you know, a good

127
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,470
hack for that is as a baby.
Yeah, make a baby so big that

128
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:38,710
they don't like running over
anyway.

129
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,330
We've got experience in that.
Yeah.

130
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,060
Yeah, that's it.
That's it really for me.

131
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,770
One more thing, but we'll talk
about it together.

132
00:04:45,780 --> 00:04:46,960
So how's your week?
Five weeks.

133
00:04:46,970 --> 00:04:50,180
Absolutely fine.
We have been decorating house as

134
00:04:50,190 --> 00:04:53,720
anyone who knows I did gave we
we gave birth to a new house and

135
00:04:53,730 --> 00:04:57,220
just after we bought our first
child and we've now actually

136
00:04:57,230 --> 00:04:59,720
started decorating process.
We've had plasters in and stuff.

137
00:04:59,790 --> 00:05:01,820
It's all coming together.
It's a bit annoying.

138
00:05:01,830 --> 00:05:03,810
We're living like a we live.
It's basically like living on

139
00:05:03,820 --> 00:05:06,020
the set of June 2.
You know our house just dust

140
00:05:06,030 --> 00:05:08,200
everywhere.
You've been busy.

141
00:05:08,210 --> 00:05:09,550
Yeah.
I don't know if you don't have

142
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,000
anyone knows who watches the
video version, but I have been

143
00:05:12,010 --> 00:05:15,560
painting into like a
bodybuilder.

144
00:05:15,570 --> 00:05:16,980
Yeah, do like a little bit of a
pose.

145
00:05:16,990 --> 00:05:21,390
Yeah, nice little bit of paint.
Yeah, So again, I I don't have

146
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,680
anyone else feels like this.
Maybe it's a man thing.

147
00:05:23,730 --> 00:05:24,880
I think.
I think it's a man thing.

148
00:05:24,890 --> 00:05:28,640
Yeah, done that.
It's 95% of artists is gone.

149
00:05:28,810 --> 00:05:32,390
I think it's a man thing because
I've watched all the things

150
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,110
being done on the House with DIY
stuff.

151
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,960
Hmm.
So like Lawrence's really good

152
00:05:35,970 --> 00:05:37,700
at just anything in the house.
Should be builder.

153
00:05:37,770 --> 00:05:40,490
Yeah, we we've got someone who
come who's came in and did all

154
00:05:40,500 --> 00:05:42,230
the plastering and basically
built like a media wall for

155
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,480
right, So we can put our TV in
our new fireplace and stuff like

156
00:05:44,490 --> 00:05:46,500
that.
And I feel really like

157
00:05:46,930 --> 00:05:51,040
insignificant and just rubbish
at stuff because I've got no

158
00:05:51,370 --> 00:05:54,160
those none of those skills that
you've tried it with like a dad,

159
00:05:54,410 --> 00:05:56,170
like a dad can put.
Like a picture frame the

160
00:05:56,180 --> 00:05:58,000
generation.
Yeah, I know, but it annoys me.

161
00:05:58,010 --> 00:06:01,630
It's like the toilets broken.
An archetypal that would just

162
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,250
nip in and fix it, You know,
like, honestly, I've got

163
00:06:04,260 --> 00:06:06,300
nothing.
And so I I just got more and

164
00:06:06,310 --> 00:06:07,670
more annoyed at this process is
going on.

165
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,850
Yeah, and because we got these
professionals in to do stuff,

166
00:06:09,860 --> 00:06:11,650
which is fine, but it does cost
money.

167
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,520
And I know it's good, but it's
like, oh, well, I I should be

168
00:06:14,530 --> 00:06:16,310
able to do something myself.
What can I do?

169
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,570
So, so I've been painting the
toilet, right?

170
00:06:20,580 --> 00:06:24,450
Today.
I swear to God, it's the worst

171
00:06:24,460 --> 00:06:26,510
paint job you've ever seen from
anyone.

172
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,120
And it took me forever.
It was crap.

173
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,600
And at the end of it, I was just
like, cool.

174
00:06:30,610 --> 00:06:32,850
I'll just end up paying want to
fix this anyway because it's

175
00:06:32,860 --> 00:06:34,710
just crap everywhere.
Just leave it a bit of time to

176
00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:37,670
get your pride, your pride, then
just pay someone to do.

177
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,140
Basically, I just feel right.
I feel the same.

178
00:06:39,150 --> 00:06:43,080
I do feel because we don't have
a lot of our listeners, a lot of

179
00:06:43,090 --> 00:06:46,220
female listeners, but we do have
a bloke base as well.

180
00:06:46,570 --> 00:06:48,280
I'd be interested to know
because I think it's a

181
00:06:48,290 --> 00:06:50,500
generational thing.
I don't know if people just

182
00:06:50,510 --> 00:06:51,870
gravitate to people like
themselves, right?

183
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,200
But I feel like all of my male
friends, at least the vast

184
00:06:54,210 --> 00:06:57,370
majority, are very similar in
terms of they have a specialised

185
00:06:57,380 --> 00:06:59,960
skill in whatever their job is,
but they're not very good at.

186
00:06:59,970 --> 00:07:02,760
I'm certainly not very good at
doing those DIY things.

187
00:07:02,770 --> 00:07:04,600
I wanna fix something.
I'm I don't know how to do that.

188
00:07:04,610 --> 00:07:07,780
No, I'm cack handed.
But a door slightly off Lauren's

189
00:07:07,790 --> 00:07:09,050
dad would have the door off the
hinges.

190
00:07:09,060 --> 00:07:12,200
Yeah, and I feel like every man
in that generation, or like my

191
00:07:12,210 --> 00:07:15,960
granddad, Oh my God, he just go
round his house and he's like,

192
00:07:15,970 --> 00:07:18,620
yeah, built the whole thing.
Would you build the whole thing?

193
00:07:18,630 --> 00:07:20,180
I can't even.
Put what was your job?

194
00:07:20,190 --> 00:07:22,420
I was a policeman.
Yeah, he was a policeman.

195
00:07:22,430 --> 00:07:24,210
Yeah, I know.
That's what I said.

196
00:07:25,730 --> 00:07:28,540
It was just get it.
Why did they learn these skills?

197
00:07:28,550 --> 00:07:29,740
Because I don't.
I don't know.

198
00:07:29,780 --> 00:07:31,050
Maybe.
Maybe they weren't playing

199
00:07:31,060 --> 00:07:32,930
rescue for seven hours.
A day, Yeah.

200
00:07:32,940 --> 00:07:34,310
Yeah.
They didn't have computers.

201
00:07:34,630 --> 00:07:39,340
That's the difference, isn't it?
Yeah, it's it annoys me and it's

202
00:07:39,390 --> 00:07:41,500
it's frustrating and you've got
to swallow your pride, Even

203
00:07:41,510 --> 00:07:42,660
learned to do it or solely
pride.

204
00:07:42,670 --> 00:07:44,480
And there's only one way you can
get good at stuff, which I'm

205
00:07:44,490 --> 00:07:46,670
really crap at doing by the way
because if I'm not good at it

206
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,710
immediately, I'm like, well,
there's no point doing it then

207
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,590
because I'm not good at it.
But the only way to get good is

208
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,180
to do it crap a few times.
Exactly.

209
00:07:52,190 --> 00:07:53,880
Yeah.
So it's just a constant cycle

210
00:07:53,890 --> 00:07:56,600
of.
Alba, Anyway, we did it again.

211
00:07:56,610 --> 00:07:58,320
We waffled on about stuff no one
cares about.

212
00:07:58,330 --> 00:08:00,960
So we finish off Mother's Day.
Yeah.

213
00:08:00,970 --> 00:08:03,120
So if you're listening, If you
are listening when we release.

214
00:08:03,130 --> 00:08:04,460
In the UK it's mother's.
Day in the UK.

215
00:08:04,470 --> 00:08:07,200
It was Mother's Day yesterday,
and it's a special one really.

216
00:08:07,430 --> 00:08:09,550
Us.
Because we're mothers.

217
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,990
We're mothers.
Now, first time mothers maybe?

218
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,630
Obviously.
Is it like Father's Day when all

219
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,440
the moms get cards saying well
done for being the father, see

220
00:08:18,450 --> 00:08:19,990
that online?
No that's just joke.

221
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,090
At the minute I'm, I'm, I'm
honestly not involved because I

222
00:08:22,100 --> 00:08:24,220
have children.
Ohh, You're the means of like on

223
00:08:24,230 --> 00:08:25,600
Father's Day.
Yeah.

224
00:08:25,650 --> 00:08:28,370
And there's a lot of like people
like Happy Father's Day to all

225
00:08:28,380 --> 00:08:30,620
the mums out there.
And it's like the idea is

226
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,659
because they're single mums and
they kind of do.

227
00:08:32,669 --> 00:08:33,760
Do we get that?
Tomorrow.

228
00:08:33,770 --> 00:08:35,340
No, of course not.
Because we're not doing both

229
00:08:35,350 --> 00:08:36,380
roles.
That's the point.

230
00:08:36,809 --> 00:08:40,669
That's the point, you idiot.
I think I have.

231
00:08:41,250 --> 00:08:42,799
No idea.
But it's a special one for us

232
00:08:42,809 --> 00:08:45,790
because obviously we've we've
had our children recently, so

233
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,830
it's the first Mother's Day for
our gals, which is quite.

234
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:49,900
Nice.
Yeah, got much planned.

235
00:08:50,230 --> 00:08:51,240
Nah, nothing.
Same.

236
00:08:51,290 --> 00:08:52,700
Yeah.
Anyway, should we move on to

237
00:08:52,710 --> 00:08:53,230
the?
Episode.

238
00:08:53,270 --> 00:08:56,320
I expect a Living Father's Day
card, though when it gets there,

239
00:08:56,330 --> 00:08:57,080
there's a lot.
There's a.

240
00:08:57,090 --> 00:08:59,880
Lot of days I was getting my
hair cut this morning and I was

241
00:08:59,890 --> 00:09:02,770
chatting to the Barber and again
it is lovely, but there's a lot

242
00:09:02,780 --> 00:09:06,140
of days in the calendar, isn't
it Valentine's Day, Mother's

243
00:09:06,150 --> 00:09:10,090
Day, Just have a birthday get.
Over it, Lauren's birthday,

244
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,170
Valentine's Day and Mother's Day
are all within one month.

245
00:09:12,180 --> 00:09:13,950
Yeah, I kind of used up all my
cards.

246
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,750
You want me to trump?
Yeah, go on my mum's birthday.

247
00:09:16,820 --> 00:09:19,720
Hmm.
Her anniversary and Mother's Day

248
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,080
when it happened were one day
after the other.

249
00:09:22,130 --> 00:09:24,350
Ohh, three in a row.
So every year they're roughly

250
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,040
the same point.
Today it was my mum's birthday

251
00:09:26,050 --> 00:09:27,770
on Thursday.
Also International Women's Day.

252
00:09:27,780 --> 00:09:32,410
Shout to the women out there,
but today, which is Saturday, is

253
00:09:32,420 --> 00:09:36,230
their wedding anniversary and
Mother's Day is tomorrow.

254
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,710
Are you expected to like do
something?

255
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,600
For their let me let me just.
I'm glad.

256
00:09:40,610 --> 00:09:43,600
You asked because I've never
ever even been involved in

257
00:09:43,610 --> 00:09:44,450
someone else's.
Anniversary.

258
00:09:44,460 --> 00:09:47,120
Because this is a great thing
for the podcast, because I will

259
00:09:47,130 --> 00:09:50,760
never understand it when when
two people decide to get married

260
00:09:50,930 --> 00:09:53,480
and get annoyed and expect other
people to celebrate it for them.

261
00:09:53,550 --> 00:09:57,400
Nothing to do with me, nothing
to congratulations as what I'll

262
00:09:57,410 --> 00:09:57,890
say.
Yeah.

263
00:09:57,900 --> 00:09:59,760
Well, it's my wedding
anniversary today.

264
00:10:00,070 --> 00:10:02,600
Is it?
Yeah, I got no of course it

265
00:10:02,610 --> 00:10:04,220
isn't nothing.
Is that actually a thing or is

266
00:10:04,230 --> 00:10:05,280
it just your.
It is.

267
00:10:05,290 --> 00:10:07,400
I think it is.
I think it is.

268
00:10:07,410 --> 00:10:09,260
You have to you have to tell us
like never heard of it.

269
00:10:09,310 --> 00:10:11,640
It's it's an anniversary between
two people were, apparently.

270
00:10:11,650 --> 00:10:13,230
Involved You celebrate it your
it's like an internal.

271
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:14,620
There's a reason I'm not We're
married.

272
00:10:14,710 --> 00:10:16,300
Yeah.
Can't be bothered.

273
00:10:17,290 --> 00:10:19,160
Well, it sounds like you get a
lot of gifts though.

274
00:10:19,230 --> 00:10:20,130
Pick your date.
Right.

275
00:10:20,140 --> 00:10:21,960
Well, yeah, Might do that.
Yeah.

276
00:10:21,970 --> 00:10:23,520
Doubt my birthday.
Yeah.

277
00:10:23,530 --> 00:10:24,770
Double up, baby.
Yeah.

278
00:10:24,820 --> 00:10:27,030
But it's good for my mum because
again, she would have got her

279
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,080
stuff by now.
But two reasons why it's good we

280
00:10:30,090 --> 00:10:33,060
can lump all everything in
together and just get something

281
00:10:33,070 --> 00:10:34,870
for both.
And also my sister's arrange it

282
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,730
and I just do a bank transfer.
Fantastic.

283
00:10:36,740 --> 00:10:38,610
That's amazing.
That's the benefit, isn't it,

284
00:10:38,620 --> 00:10:40,260
Sisters?
She's also arranged for Mother's

285
00:10:40,270 --> 00:10:43,320
Day.
So it looks like I've done it.

286
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,500
I get the kudos because we're
having dinner here.

287
00:10:45,510 --> 00:10:47,700
My sister is arranged that and
bringing the food.

288
00:10:48,350 --> 00:10:49,390
Brilliant job.
I'm gonna.

289
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,740
I'm gonna trump you once more.
Go on, Lawrence ordered her own

290
00:10:51,750 --> 00:10:54,100
Mother's Day gifts.
From me Ohh no now.

291
00:10:54,330 --> 00:10:56,450
She said, I don't know if you've
seen anything for Mother's Day,

292
00:10:56,460 --> 00:10:57,680
but I've seen something I like,
right?

293
00:10:57,690 --> 00:10:59,540
And I was like, that's what I
wanna hear.

294
00:10:59,550 --> 00:11:00,320
Thank you.
Yeah.

295
00:11:00,410 --> 00:11:03,150
And she she bought herself some
stuff and just basically just

296
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,720
told me how much it costs.
Now we really have put off our

297
00:11:05,730 --> 00:11:07,340
female listeners there thinking,
you idiots.

298
00:11:07,350 --> 00:11:09,320
No, no, because I was gonna.
No.

299
00:11:09,330 --> 00:11:11,610
We've done loads for our
partners and stuff, and anyone

300
00:11:11,620 --> 00:11:13,420
who doesn't know, you have to
listen, have a podcast.

301
00:11:13,710 --> 00:11:16,380
But the point is, I was
obviously gonna get something,

302
00:11:16,390 --> 00:11:19,000
but it would have been crap
compared to she wanted this

303
00:11:19,010 --> 00:11:20,350
thing.
Yeah, she found this thing and

304
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:21,610
she wanted it and I was very
grateful.

305
00:11:21,620 --> 00:11:24,170
I was just quickly end with the
thing I got because you you know

306
00:11:24,180 --> 00:11:26,160
roughly what I got earlier
because I used you to cover.

307
00:11:26,170 --> 00:11:28,800
So I got Dylan to.
I needed to go out today,

308
00:11:28,810 --> 00:11:30,620
Saturday, it's Mother's Day
tomorrow when we're recording

309
00:11:30,630 --> 00:11:34,320
this and I needed to pick up
something and pick up or get

310
00:11:34,430 --> 00:11:37,190
well pick it up because I rang
them first and I'm saying I need

311
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:38,770
to find a time to actually go
there and get this.

312
00:11:38,780 --> 00:11:40,500
It's just a gift.
Did you enjoy the gift card?

313
00:11:42,620 --> 00:11:44,850
And I said Dylan, I need you to
message the group chat and say

314
00:11:44,860 --> 00:11:46,710
that you need my help lifting
something so I could get out of

315
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,100
the house because I can't be a
lawyer attached right now.

316
00:11:49,110 --> 00:11:51,050
I can't get away from it without
being suspicious.

317
00:11:51,380 --> 00:11:54,010
So anyway, Long story short, I
went to get her.

318
00:11:54,140 --> 00:11:57,280
This is short.
Short short, short, short, I

319
00:11:57,290 --> 00:12:00,370
hear.
Voucher, I love the long, right?

320
00:12:00,380 --> 00:12:02,850
Yeah, that sort of stuff.
Obviously I'm not someone very

321
00:12:02,860 --> 00:12:05,140
experienced with hairdressing.
Do you go to the barbers,

322
00:12:05,540 --> 00:12:06,390
actually?
Where the jokes?

323
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:07,950
The lady There, I said.
I said cool.

324
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,630
Are you women?
This is pricey for you, isn't

325
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:10,810
it?
It's not like standing over a

326
00:12:10,820 --> 00:12:13,730
bath and shaving your head.
And she didn't get my joke.

327
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,610
It was really awkward.
Then just silence of like, OK

328
00:12:16,620 --> 00:12:18,130
and I had to clarify.
I'm talking about me.

329
00:12:18,140 --> 00:12:20,320
I'm bored still.
Didn't laugh, still didn't

330
00:12:20,330 --> 00:12:21,470
laugh.
I know, Yeah.

331
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:22,970
Really awkward.
She just thought, yeah.

332
00:12:23,060 --> 00:12:26,030
Anyway, so I went this
preconception of like maybe like

333
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,400
a £50 voucher.
Because I know.

334
00:12:27,410 --> 00:12:29,250
Because I know women's.
Haircuts are more expensive.

335
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,060
When he quit.
Yeah. 24 was like women's, at

336
00:12:33,070 --> 00:12:34,140
least double.
I know that.

337
00:12:34,150 --> 00:12:35,350
I know that.
I get that.

338
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:36,880
I was like, she said, oh, you
know how much you wanna put on

339
00:12:36,890 --> 00:12:38,200
it.
And I was looking at the menu of

340
00:12:38,210 --> 00:12:40,160
the stuff they do as if that
means anything to me.

341
00:12:40,170 --> 00:12:42,340
Literally, like a balayage,
Please.

342
00:12:42,350 --> 00:12:44,800
I don't know.
Yeah, just like something where

343
00:12:44,810 --> 00:12:47,760
she can be here for an hour or
two and just have a whole hair

344
00:12:47,770 --> 00:12:49,810
dyed or something if she wants
or not.

345
00:12:49,820 --> 00:12:51,900
I don't know, just something
that will cover that.

346
00:12:51,950 --> 00:12:55,460
She's like £100.
You wouldn't have to pay too

347
00:12:55,470 --> 00:12:56,840
much more.
Sorry.

348
00:12:56,850 --> 00:12:58,520
What?
100 lbs?

349
00:12:58,530 --> 00:13:00,500
I was like, yeah, I did that.
And we wouldn't have to pay

350
00:13:00,510 --> 00:13:04,270
much, much more.
So I have My eyes were open

351
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,040
today for that.
Yeah, the price of women's hair

352
00:13:07,050 --> 00:13:07,940
care.
Crikey.

353
00:13:08,030 --> 00:13:09,390
Yeah.
Crazy, right?

354
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,960
Thanks for that, guys. 30
minutes of nonstop entertainment

355
00:13:12,970 --> 00:13:14,140
there.
None.

356
00:13:14,150 --> 00:13:15,470
We said it'd be unhinged at the
start.

357
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:16,840
I did.
It wasn't upset.

358
00:13:18,340 --> 00:13:20,850
Change mean Boring.
Just that.

359
00:13:20,860 --> 00:13:22,320
What that?
Means why do we do this?

360
00:13:22,380 --> 00:13:24,770
Anyway, should we play the dingo
and get chatting about something

361
00:13:24,780 --> 00:13:25,690
to do Education.
I don't know.

362
00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:27,800

378
00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:01,710
Away now and leave us a five
star review at all.

379
00:14:01,790 --> 00:14:05,100
Platforms you're heading?
Yeah mate, that was weird.

380
00:14:05,110 --> 00:14:06,280
Sponsor.
That was a weird one.

381
00:14:06,290 --> 00:14:08,440
We decided to sponsor ourselves
this week because we're not

382
00:14:08,450 --> 00:14:11,220
getting money anyway because we
switched out from other our

383
00:14:11,230 --> 00:14:12,960
other three sponsor.
Yeah, let's not mention him

384
00:14:12,970 --> 00:14:14,380
again.
No, let's not mention, James,

385
00:14:14,390 --> 00:14:19,460
any financial planning anymore.
So before we get into it, we are

386
00:14:19,470 --> 00:14:21,960
going to talk this week about
kind of leads on from last week

387
00:14:22,030 --> 00:14:25,380
what teachers expect from
children to do at home and what

388
00:14:25,390 --> 00:14:27,190
we think would be good for
children to do at home in terms

389
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,810
of their learning.
Because last week we talked

390
00:14:28,820 --> 00:14:30,820
about where's the line as a
teacher in school.

391
00:14:30,930 --> 00:14:32,820
And I thought it'd be really
cool to kind of push some

392
00:14:32,830 --> 00:14:35,700
buttons because it's a bit of a
topic that gets people riled up.

393
00:14:35,710 --> 00:14:38,100
And when teachers expect stuff
to happen at home, we've

394
00:14:38,110 --> 00:14:40,730
obviously done a whole episode
about homework as you remember

395
00:14:40,740 --> 00:14:42,270
him.
Yeah, yeah, definitely.

396
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,700
Remember that.
Remember last week?

397
00:14:43,710 --> 00:14:45,650
All I know from last week is
people got annoyed because I was

398
00:14:45,660 --> 00:14:47,640
very indecisive.
Over it, all right.

399
00:14:47,710 --> 00:14:49,770
Honestly, the amount of messages
I got from people like can

400
00:14:49,780 --> 00:14:51,960
Hayden just decide please so
that we can moan him being

401
00:14:51,970 --> 00:14:53,670
wrong?
Reflecting live on the podcast.

402
00:14:54,260 --> 00:14:57,990
But before we go any further, I
we have to mention this, I did a

403
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,490
real about Gillian Keegan.
For anyone who doesn't know,

404
00:15:00,500 --> 00:15:03,030
Gillian Keegan is the Education
Secretary of the UK.

405
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,520
She is in charge of the
Department for Education.

406
00:15:05,580 --> 00:15:07,210
She's been in the job for quite
a while now.

407
00:15:07,220 --> 00:15:09,490
When we think about how long
people are usually in this kind

408
00:15:09,500 --> 00:15:11,400
of job in this country, it's not
very long because it's so

409
00:15:11,410 --> 00:15:14,610
unstable.
And and you got to remember the

410
00:15:14,620 --> 00:15:17,370
context here of we've been
striking for almost like a year,

411
00:15:17,420 --> 00:15:18,930
right.
And there's balloting again for

412
00:15:18,940 --> 00:15:21,810
extra strikes in the UK because
she's wanting to give teachers

413
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,390
an A 1% pay rise, like just
unacceptable after everything

414
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,230
happened.
Anyway, she's on the stage

415
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,650
talking about education.
She talks about Ofsted, right.

416
00:15:29,740 --> 00:15:31,580
And she said the fact there's
two parts to this.

417
00:15:31,590 --> 00:15:34,480
The first part was she mentioned
she went into a school recently

418
00:15:34,540 --> 00:15:37,610
and the school told her about
their experience of Ofsted and

419
00:15:37,620 --> 00:15:40,570
she said she was shocked because
the, the, the inspector was so

420
00:15:40,580 --> 00:15:42,730
rude.
And I honestly, when I was when

421
00:15:42,740 --> 00:15:47,710
I was watching, I was like what
you're you're you're shocked She

422
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,960
in in March 2024 she was shocked
when her school said they had a

423
00:15:51,970 --> 00:15:53,430
bad experience with.
No.

424
00:15:53,510 --> 00:15:55,430
What?
What have you been doing?

425
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,740
Do we role play?
You're right.

426
00:15:59,810 --> 00:16:01,930
You come into my school, OK?
Yeah.

427
00:16:01,940 --> 00:16:02,890
Hi, Gillian.
Hi.

428
00:16:02,900 --> 00:16:04,910
Hi.
Fantastic school.

429
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,390
Thank you.
I think it's brilliant.

430
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,900
And I saw no, you've been out
Ofsted, you've got good reason.

431
00:16:09,910 --> 00:16:11,950
Yeah, we did.
Wanted to talk to you about now

432
00:16:12,020 --> 00:16:14,230
because I know we did get a good
rating and obviously.

433
00:16:14,300 --> 00:16:17,680
You know, all the life and as we
surely education minister, you

434
00:16:17,690 --> 00:16:19,130
know all about that kind of
thing.

435
00:16:19,140 --> 00:16:20,530
Yeah.
And I just thought I'd give you

436
00:16:20,540 --> 00:16:22,830
up perspective because we had
Ofsted and to be honest.

437
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,410
It was good.
Yeah, well, they said good at

438
00:16:25,420 --> 00:16:26,880
the end.
But the the experience, the

439
00:16:26,890 --> 00:16:29,240
whole process, it was actually
really bad.

440
00:16:30,730 --> 00:16:33,360
They were really, they were
really quite rude.

441
00:16:33,410 --> 00:16:34,530
Bad.
Yeah, rude.

442
00:16:34,540 --> 00:16:35,540
Yeah.
Offset.

443
00:16:35,550 --> 00:16:37,060
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know.

444
00:16:37,070 --> 00:16:38,340
Yeah, you seem.
Shocked.

445
00:16:38,390 --> 00:16:40,030
They've what?
Well, they said they was good.

446
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,830
They're obviously I've not
heard.

447
00:16:41,930 --> 00:16:44,360
Sorry.
I'm gonna get my PR guy.

448
00:16:44,430 --> 00:16:46,620
Yeah, we've had a bad Ofsted
experience.

449
00:16:46,630 --> 00:16:48,160
Yeah, no, I know.
It's not normally like that.

450
00:16:48,170 --> 00:16:50,120
No, it is.
That's what I'm kind of.

451
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,090
I will do something about that.
Well, you're going on stage

452
00:16:54,100 --> 00:16:56,560
soon, so I was thinking.
Yeah, yeah, that's what I was

453
00:16:56,570 --> 00:16:57,790
just thinking.
Yeah, OK, cool.

454
00:16:57,860 --> 00:17:00,680
Anyway, that's what happened.
And then so she mentioned that

455
00:17:00,690 --> 00:17:01,890
she was shocked.
Very, very.

456
00:17:01,900 --> 00:17:03,880
I was just like, I almost.
I was in despair.

457
00:17:03,890 --> 00:17:05,910
I was like, all right, forget
that.

458
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:07,800
It's what she said.
After that was even funnier

459
00:17:07,810 --> 00:17:10,079
because I thought, OK, she's the
education secretary, maybe she's

460
00:17:10,089 --> 00:17:13,349
just setting herself up to be
like, yeah, sure, it was bad.

461
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,730
And then go on to say some
constructive feedback as to what

462
00:17:16,740 --> 00:17:19,470
she's going to do about it, as
the person literally in charge

463
00:17:19,700 --> 00:17:21,579
or some ideas of where we go
from.

464
00:17:21,589 --> 00:17:23,170
There, which I imagine is
exactly what she did.

465
00:17:23,180 --> 00:17:25,630
And it's better, yeah.
To, I guess from her

466
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,410
perspective, pretend like she
didn't know was rather than be

467
00:17:28,420 --> 00:17:31,210
like, yeah, we've known it's
been bad for three years and now

468
00:17:31,220 --> 00:17:33,310
I feel like doing something
about it to be like, yeah, I've

469
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,590
now suddenly alert.
And because I've now aware of

470
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,730
this, I'm of course gonna action
this straight away.

471
00:17:37,740 --> 00:17:39,320
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
obviously.

472
00:17:39,330 --> 00:17:41,610
And that that I I can understand
that politically, especially if

473
00:17:41,620 --> 00:17:43,130
she went on to say some really
constructive stuff.

474
00:17:43,140 --> 00:17:46,390
Yeah, she didn't know because
all she said was I was really

475
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,050
shocked.
And to be quite honest, I would

476
00:17:48,060 --> 00:17:50,760
have punched them in the face.
OK.

477
00:17:50,770 --> 00:17:52,110
Is that her advice?
That's what we should.

478
00:17:52,120 --> 00:17:52,870
Do.
And that was it.

479
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,670
Yeah, she did.
She would have punched him in

480
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:55,830
the.
Face was that not followed up?

481
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,620
Ohh.
No, that followed the

482
00:17:57,630 --> 00:17:59,350
interviewer said, Ohh, we are
recording this.

483
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:02,400
And she went, Oh yeah, well, as
you know, as a politician you

484
00:18:02,410 --> 00:18:05,630
expect to get people attack you,
but not as a school leader, not

485
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:06,880
as a school.
Don't expect someone to be rude

486
00:18:06,890 --> 00:18:08,710
to you as a school leader.
I was honest to God.

487
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,400
I was like, you're the person
who's being rude to us for years

488
00:18:12,470 --> 00:18:14,690
of of saying we're striking for
no reason.

489
00:18:15,030 --> 00:18:17,500
What's wrong with her?
Yeah, I don't get it.

490
00:18:17,510 --> 00:18:20,090
Because she she's there going,
Yeah, I think school leaders

491
00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:21,780
wouldn't expect to be talked to
like that.

492
00:18:21,870 --> 00:18:23,380
You.
Talk to us like that.

493
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,790
Every time we say we're striking
for the reasons you're saying

494
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,730
you're shocked about.
I can't believe her brain went

495
00:18:27,740 --> 00:18:29,430
to physical violence.
No.

496
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,920
It's like politicians are so
well trained and saying the

497
00:18:31,930 --> 00:18:32,680
right thing.
Exactly.

498
00:18:32,690 --> 00:18:35,210
So I just find it weird that it
slip through the net there.

499
00:18:35,220 --> 00:18:37,060
And she said that.
I bet you regret it immediately.

500
00:18:37,070 --> 00:18:39,620
But if you're in the staff room,
you hear that kind of language,

501
00:18:39,630 --> 00:18:41,900
you'd laugh it off and you just
go past and you you would

502
00:18:41,910 --> 00:18:43,590
probably you wouldn't know
they're not being serious.

503
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,620
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like so I I get the whole thing.

504
00:18:45,630 --> 00:18:47,870
We sensationalise it a bit
sometimes when it's politicians.

505
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,030
But let's just for once she's
she's the Department for

506
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,990
Education leader, the, you know,
the Secretary of State, the

507
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,460
government who's in charge of
it.

508
00:18:55,690 --> 00:18:59,320
And she said she'd punch them in
the face like she's the one in

509
00:18:59,330 --> 00:19:01,880
charge of what can possibly
change in this situation.

510
00:19:01,890 --> 00:19:04,920
And her response is she'd punch.
Do you know where you know you

511
00:19:04,930 --> 00:19:07,970
could do Gillian, you could sort
it out instead.

512
00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:09,580
You also have the power over
that.

513
00:19:09,590 --> 00:19:11,360
Person.
If only you were the person in

514
00:19:11,370 --> 00:19:13,320
charge of the whole thing.
Of the person getting.

515
00:19:13,330 --> 00:19:14,710
Punched Ohh.
Wait, wait, wait a minute.

516
00:19:15,110 --> 00:19:16,700
You are why me up.
So yeah.

517
00:19:16,710 --> 00:19:18,040
That's mad.
Mad.

518
00:19:18,090 --> 00:19:20,540
Yeah, that's a little bit of
better news for this week.

519
00:19:20,590 --> 00:19:22,160
Thank you.
Yeah, no problem.

520
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,570
Blouses.
Yeah, well, I just didn't know.

521
00:19:24,620 --> 00:19:26,730
Yeah, but I'm still doing.
You don't know anything.

522
00:19:26,780 --> 00:19:30,110
No, I just can't believe that
body Ofsted.

523
00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:31,610
Honestly.
I've told them to be nice.

524
00:19:31,620 --> 00:19:32,990
I have.
And they've.

525
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,770
Still, put him in mental anyway.
Hate him.

526
00:19:35,820 --> 00:19:37,940
Yeah, we're gonna have a nice
chat now and these are my

527
00:19:37,950 --> 00:19:40,560
favourite things where we can
just think, reflect on our

528
00:19:40,570 --> 00:19:43,770
experience and you know what,
Give our advice out to other

529
00:19:43,780 --> 00:19:45,190
people, both teachers and
parents.

530
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:46,180
For this one, I suppose you
don't.

531
00:19:46,190 --> 00:19:48,270
You don't necessarily have to be
a teacher to get out of this.

532
00:19:48,340 --> 00:19:50,470
If you're a teacher, maybe you
can message us and say do you

533
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,390
agree or the other things you'd
rather get from children at

534
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,720
home.
However, quite simply, Hadem

535
00:19:54,770 --> 00:19:58,910
Yep, you are a teacher.
I am OK, it doesn't really

536
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,920
matter where you are in your
teaching career, it doesn't.

537
00:20:02,230 --> 00:20:08,310
But what would you?
Want a child to be doing at home

538
00:20:09,430 --> 00:20:11,950
alongside their time in school?
Mm-hmm.

539
00:20:11,990 --> 00:20:15,860
To maximise their education and
their ability to learn.

540
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,810
Anything in the world, I can
pick anything.

541
00:20:20,070 --> 00:20:21,530
Yeah.
What what do you want from a

542
00:20:21,540 --> 00:20:24,100
child if you if if a parent came
up to you the highest priority

543
00:20:24,110 --> 00:20:25,970
right.
What what can I do at home?

544
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,030
What can I do at home to help
and and and you have to you

545
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,120
think just from your point of
view, quite simply what would

546
00:20:32,130 --> 00:20:33,590
you say?
Read, read, read, read, read.

547
00:20:33,630 --> 00:20:36,250
So just to me it's like it's not
even on the same level as

548
00:20:36,260 --> 00:20:39,070
anything else.
Read books with them so much.

549
00:20:39,660 --> 00:20:42,010
Why?
Because I mean firstly from my

550
00:20:42,020 --> 00:20:44,960
perspective just like on on the
ground floor you do just notice

551
00:20:44,970 --> 00:20:47,610
that the children that read more
generally generally do just

552
00:20:47,620 --> 00:20:50,100
perform better at school and
enjoy school more and they can

553
00:20:50,110 --> 00:20:52,990
just read to one.
But yeah but there's actual

554
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,470
there's loads of evidence and
data isn't it to show that kids

555
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,800
that read more generally
obviously you get your outlines

556
00:20:57,810 --> 00:21:00,600
is someone does well actually
this I know the kid that read

557
00:21:00,610 --> 00:21:03,480
loads and they didn't do very
well in this at all yeah.

558
00:21:03,490 --> 00:21:08,060
But generally children that read
lots one enjoy learning more and

559
00:21:08,070 --> 00:21:10,490
two generally just do well
academically.

560
00:21:10,530 --> 00:21:12,650
So it's like, can we can we just
do more of that, do more of?

561
00:21:12,660 --> 00:21:15,280
That, OK.
So that's interesting.

562
00:21:15,570 --> 00:21:17,840
Let's strip it back a bit
because what we're talking about

563
00:21:17,850 --> 00:21:20,770
is basically for a child to
develop and learn as they go

564
00:21:20,780 --> 00:21:23,150
through.
First of all, they spend four or

565
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,910
five years at home, maybe doing
nursery sometimes or better.

566
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,590
Preschool.
Yeah, before they even get into

567
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,600
the school system.
We know how important that is.

568
00:21:29,660 --> 00:21:32,280
OK, So I I don't think we're
going to sit here and chat about

569
00:21:32,290 --> 00:21:34,120
what we should be doing in those
early years because you know,

570
00:21:34,130 --> 00:21:36,980
plays fundamental.
Socialising with children's

571
00:21:36,990 --> 00:21:39,670
fundamental obviously early
sounds and reading and numeracy

572
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,170
and writing and stuff.
Fundamental.

573
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,950
Let's look at it now from the
point of view of your your child

574
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,570
is in the school system, at
school, they're getting on fine.

575
00:21:47,580 --> 00:21:49,920
They're not one who needs loads
of which support and help.

576
00:21:49,930 --> 00:21:52,270
They don't have a specific.
You know, very average.

577
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,510
Middle run-of-the-mill child
that's at home.

578
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,270
Because what I've noticed is a
lot of people who may be resent

579
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,050
the school system, umm kind of
they don't like being told that

580
00:22:02,060 --> 00:22:04,710
they should be also doing stuff
at home with their child's.

581
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,250
True.
And there's a bit of a you know

582
00:22:06,260 --> 00:22:08,740
a lot of a lot of parents
absolutely understand this but

583
00:22:08,750 --> 00:22:11,460
there's a there is a big chunk
of the population who kind of

584
00:22:11,470 --> 00:22:13,610
think well they go to school
don't they.

585
00:22:13,660 --> 00:22:15,790
So you know that's their
education sorted, that's the

586
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,080
teachers job and kind of get
their back up a bit of the

587
00:22:18,090 --> 00:22:19,450
teacher ever suggest that what
they could be?

588
00:22:19,460 --> 00:22:22,480
Doing ever had that as an actual
parent in front of you on like a

589
00:22:22,490 --> 00:22:24,120
parents evening or something
saying that's your.

590
00:22:24,130 --> 00:22:25,860
Job.
No, I've I've had parents say

591
00:22:26,110 --> 00:22:28,160
they'd rather prioritise other
thing with their home.

592
00:22:28,170 --> 00:22:31,340
Time I have and have you I've
I've had like multiple parents

593
00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:34,130
in my career.
Like rudely be like, no, I'm not

594
00:22:34,140 --> 00:22:35,780
doing that.
I'm not doing your job.

595
00:22:35,790 --> 00:22:37,600
If they can't do this, you you
teach him.

596
00:22:37,750 --> 00:22:39,870
I was like, whoa, OK.
It's just timetables and they're

597
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:40,820
in your six.
Yeah.

598
00:22:41,050 --> 00:22:43,380
So how would, how would you go
about that then let's talk first

599
00:22:43,390 --> 00:22:46,540
I guess about the macro stuff in
terms of approaching it.

600
00:22:47,310 --> 00:22:49,580
Do you think it's suitable?
Because last week I spent a lot

601
00:22:49,590 --> 00:22:51,330
of time saying that it's
absolutely not the job of a

602
00:22:51,340 --> 00:22:54,350
teacher to be teaching a child
how to brush their teeth, how to

603
00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:56,530
how to be potty trained.
That's that's absolutely on the

604
00:22:56,540 --> 00:22:58,150
parent.
So there'll be a lot of people

605
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,270
saying I'm a hypocrite maybe
this week, but I I just think

606
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:01,710
it's different when it's your
own child.

607
00:23:01,750 --> 00:23:04,790
You're the number one, you're
the you're the number one leader

608
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,080
of their life, essentially, and
you supplement it by sending

609
00:23:08,090 --> 00:23:09,100
them to school and you.
Supplement.

610
00:23:09,110 --> 00:23:10,530
You outsource a bit of that
time?

611
00:23:10,540 --> 00:23:12,190
Yeah, exactly.
So go and do something.

612
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,300
Exactly that.
But it's your responsibility and

613
00:23:15,310 --> 00:23:18,040
the day is the development of
that child, It's mine to develop

614
00:23:18,050 --> 00:23:19,810
them in a way where I'm leading
curriculum, helping them.

615
00:23:19,820 --> 00:23:21,700
It's almost like an MOT.
Yeah, I was gonna say.

616
00:23:23,030 --> 00:23:27,080
Well, the point is, again, so
would you ever, You'd never go

617
00:23:27,090 --> 00:23:30,360
take your car to the garage, you
would never know.

618
00:23:31,290 --> 00:23:34,900
But you said to the garage have
an MOT and they're like, cool,

619
00:23:34,910 --> 00:23:37,260
OK, I need to fix this, this and
this because I'm a specialist

620
00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:38,960
engineer.
Only I can do that.

621
00:23:39,060 --> 00:23:40,980
So I'm going to fix that because
obviously you can't.

622
00:23:40,990 --> 00:23:42,240
However, here are some
advisories.

623
00:23:42,250 --> 00:23:44,260
Maybe top up your oil.
Maybe you could just.

624
00:23:44,270 --> 00:23:46,650
You know I'm not good with.
Cars check your tyres because

625
00:23:46,660 --> 00:23:47,840
they probably about six months
on them.

626
00:23:47,850 --> 00:23:49,310
Exactly.
And, you know, change the tyres

627
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,140
to go somewhere and change your
tyres, you look up the right

628
00:23:51,150 --> 00:23:52,410
thread, the right, you know,
that's your.

629
00:23:52,420 --> 00:23:53,640
Job, yeah, but they're not doing
it.

630
00:23:53,650 --> 00:23:55,810
They're they're not doing it
there and then and then over the

631
00:23:55,820 --> 00:23:59,330
year you maintain the car.
Yeah you look after the car.

632
00:23:59,380 --> 00:24:02,150
It's it's it is also your if you
would never turn around to a

633
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,440
garage and say but passing MOT
this year why is this gone

634
00:24:04,450 --> 00:24:05,150
wrong.
Yeah.

635
00:24:05,220 --> 00:24:06,880
So I'd.
I'd see it the same kind of

636
00:24:06,890 --> 00:24:08,910
things.
Your child, you're in charge of

637
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,970
that car, you're in charge of
that child development, Yeah.

638
00:24:12,980 --> 00:24:17,010
And I think the the attitude has
to be that they're going to take

639
00:24:17,020 --> 00:24:19,640
a role in that.
Like, I got a new analogy for

640
00:24:19,650 --> 00:24:20,610
you.
Think about this.

641
00:24:20,620 --> 00:24:24,310
What if you take your car to a
garage for about 6 hours every

642
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,050
day of the year, minus, minus,
you know, a bunch of sort of

643
00:24:27,060 --> 00:24:29,590
half terms, let's call them, and
like weekends.

644
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,830
Let's call on that.
Would you would you still expect

645
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,680
to have to do the daily
maintenance on your car if it

646
00:24:35,690 --> 00:24:38,640
was at the garage 6 hours a day?
Not daily, not daily.

647
00:24:38,650 --> 00:24:43,980
But I would expect that whenever
I use the car, me outside and if

648
00:24:43,990 --> 00:24:47,130
I use the car, I wouldn't be
harshly braking.

649
00:24:47,310 --> 00:24:49,310
I would, I wouldn't be rinsing
the clutch, right.

650
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:49,700
Yeah.
Yeah.

651
00:24:49,710 --> 00:24:51,890
I'd be looking after, yeah.
And they're like, what's that?

652
00:24:51,900 --> 00:24:54,080
I need to add some oil.
Let me do some times tables to

653
00:24:54,090 --> 00:24:57,020
your car.
We do a bit of reading, yeah.

654
00:24:57,070 --> 00:24:58,620
Yeah.
And that actually falls down at

655
00:24:58,630 --> 00:25:01,110
some point.
But I think we can all agree

656
00:25:01,120 --> 00:25:06,390
that there has to be some kind
of expectation as to they're

657
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,200
not.
Use your child.

658
00:25:09,740 --> 00:25:12,750
You gotta do something.
Yeah, OK, So what we're going to

659
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,430
do, we'll go through all the
different things you can do at

660
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,060
home, OK?
And again, really interested if

661
00:25:18,070 --> 00:25:19,860
people agree or not.
We might disagree cause we've

662
00:25:19,870 --> 00:25:22,290
not talked through this remotely
as teachers.

663
00:25:22,300 --> 00:25:24,430
We're going to say what we would
want children to be doing at

664
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,590
home in different aspects of
their learning.

665
00:25:28,260 --> 00:25:31,700
If you're just a parent this
thing utility.

666
00:25:31,710 --> 00:25:33,660
If we're asking too much, I
don't know.

667
00:25:33,670 --> 00:25:34,960
But do you have reading, by the
way?

668
00:25:34,970 --> 00:25:37,090
We never went back to.
That yeah, we started reading.

669
00:25:37,100 --> 00:25:39,740
I'm gonna start reading.
So readings are #1 for me.

670
00:25:39,750 --> 00:25:42,200
I'll start, I'll start off by
saying, well, I think in terms

671
00:25:42,210 --> 00:25:43,360
of reading.
Always do.

672
00:25:43,750 --> 00:25:48,100
In terms of reading, either I
asked you a question with my

673
00:25:48,110 --> 00:25:50,310
answer already in my head, I'll
wait for you to finish, or I

674
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,440
started by so I'm going to start
my one here.

675
00:25:52,570 --> 00:25:56,070
I'd I'd agree with you.
In terms of readings #1 so you

676
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,260
know if your child is struggling
to read, first and foremost work

677
00:25:59,270 --> 00:26:01,260
with your school to find out
what level they're at, what

678
00:26:01,330 --> 00:26:03,970
looks a suitable for them, Read
with them as much as possible,

679
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,170
try and find a niche for them
that they're interested in.

680
00:26:06,260 --> 00:26:08,690
Because at the end of the day,
why is reading important?

681
00:26:08,700 --> 00:26:11,370
It does unlock literally
everything, because if a if a

682
00:26:11,380 --> 00:26:14,750
child really a positive reader
who can read, well, it allows

683
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,770
them to learn about history, it
allows them to learn about

684
00:26:16,780 --> 00:26:18,880
geography, allows them to do
research and that all them

685
00:26:18,890 --> 00:26:21,600
enrichment kind of activities
stem from reading.

686
00:26:21,940 --> 00:26:23,410
So I do completely agree with
you there.

687
00:26:23,420 --> 00:26:26,230
And even maths, if you think
about the big chunk of the maths

688
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,710
paper, if we're thinking about
stats from a teacher point of

689
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,770
view.
But then if we just forget that

690
00:26:30,780 --> 00:26:33,700
and think about life, mass is
always in context of

691
00:26:33,710 --> 00:26:36,340
understanding without a
situation, understanding what's

692
00:26:36,350 --> 00:26:38,430
going on, being able to read
something and and and know this

693
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,110
is what we need to do.
Yeah, it's problem solving.

694
00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:42,620
Cause my kids are often ask why
are we doing this?

695
00:26:42,670 --> 00:26:45,750
Yeah.
Yeah, and I think it's a really

696
00:26:45,790 --> 00:26:47,830
rubbish answer to be like this
is gonna come when you come up

697
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,630
on your desk.
It's such a bad answer, even

698
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,860
though it's real, that is true.
Is going to come up in your

699
00:26:51,870 --> 00:26:55,240
test, and that test will have
some very, very small bearing on

700
00:26:55,250 --> 00:26:57,200
your life the way it direction
it goes.

701
00:26:57,210 --> 00:26:59,510
That's interesting because in
terms of in terms of what I

702
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,200
expect from home, where are you
in this barometer?

703
00:27:02,210 --> 00:27:05,180
Because in school I think it's
perfectly acceptable for me to

704
00:27:05,190 --> 00:27:08,320
be thinking about end of year
goals, end of year targets and

705
00:27:08,370 --> 00:27:10,760
and even end of key stage
targets in terms of their test

706
00:27:10,770 --> 00:27:12,560
and that's what the schools
judge them.

707
00:27:12,750 --> 00:27:15,400
If ever I ask someone to do
something at home or expect of

708
00:27:15,410 --> 00:27:17,770
them to do something at home,
the goal posts are completely

709
00:27:17,780 --> 00:27:19,860
different.
I I don't actually expect

710
00:27:19,950 --> 00:27:23,300
anything at home to do with my
targets in school with the

711
00:27:23,310 --> 00:27:24,900
children.
Everything I think about what

712
00:27:24,910 --> 00:27:27,280
I'd want a child to be doing at
home is based around enrichment,

713
00:27:27,290 --> 00:27:30,080
enjoyment and overall academic
success.

714
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,630
So that's the same with reading.
I would never say to it.

715
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,900
I never ever expect a child to
go home and be practising 3 mark

716
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,120
inference.
Questions.

717
00:27:38,130 --> 00:27:39,050
Yeah, from a reading.
Text.

718
00:27:39,060 --> 00:27:40,880
Never.
I I'd want them to find out

719
00:27:40,890 --> 00:27:43,130
whether you know they could be
some of my kids at school.

720
00:27:43,140 --> 00:27:46,160
Right.
And I say to them that they're

721
00:27:46,170 --> 00:27:48,960
sticker album with the with
footballers and stuff and

722
00:27:48,970 --> 00:27:51,130
there's little paragraphs about
the teams that I was like that's

723
00:27:51,140 --> 00:27:53,710
read read, read that just read
read that for a week.

724
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,310
I don't care.
Read the newspaper.

725
00:27:55,360 --> 00:27:56,760
Do whatever you want and what
you're.

726
00:27:56,770 --> 00:27:58,590
Interested, so it won't help me
answer the tests.

727
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,270
Yeah, don't care.
I don't care.

728
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,560
I think that's why readings on a
different level, because I think

729
00:28:02,570 --> 00:28:06,540
reading is way more integrated
into literally being able to be

730
00:28:06,550 --> 00:28:09,090
a functioning member of society.
Yeah, do you know, I mean it's

731
00:28:09,100 --> 00:28:10,800
it's so much more important to
read.

732
00:28:10,810 --> 00:28:12,990
It's such a bigger hindrance if
you if you're struggling to.

733
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,460
Read and if you can't, do a
conjunction.

734
00:28:14,470 --> 00:28:16,200
Exactly and and and equally with
maths.

735
00:28:16,210 --> 00:28:17,690
I think maths.
Even though I'm more passionate

736
00:28:17,700 --> 00:28:19,830
about math because I enjoy the
subject, yeah, I still don't

737
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,140
think it's anywhere near AS.
Important.

738
00:28:21,150 --> 00:28:23,920
Well, all you need to do is look
at society today and whether we

739
00:28:23,930 --> 00:28:25,720
agree with it or not, and I
think it's a problem.

740
00:28:25,790 --> 00:28:28,180
I do think that we need to boost
maths in general, that the

741
00:28:28,190 --> 00:28:31,440
attitude towards it, but we are
a functioning society and far

742
00:28:31,450 --> 00:28:34,310
more people and read while they
can do maths well, yeah, so that

743
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,030
just kind of sums up.
To me, yeah, but then but then

744
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:40,030
again it's just like but can
people get on more easily in

745
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:41,370
life if they can't do maths at
all?

746
00:28:41,380 --> 00:28:45,030
No, exactly, I think so.
I think you mean if you can't

747
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,620
read it's way more noticeable.
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm

748
00:28:47,630 --> 00:28:49,710
saying.
We're in a functioning society

749
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,980
where people are much.
More able to see you're actually

750
00:28:51,990 --> 00:28:55,420
using that point.
No, no no, no that that's that's

751
00:28:55,430 --> 00:28:57,440
that's kind of justifying why
reading so important.

752
00:28:57,490 --> 00:29:00,630
So, thinking about maths, then
what you know, What's your

753
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,080
expectation as a teacher?
What?

754
00:29:02,090 --> 00:29:04,120
Would you?
OK, very quickly, let's.

755
00:29:04,130 --> 00:29:06,790
I think each time we go through
something we should just say at

756
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,040
the end, be very blunt as
teachers, what do we want?

757
00:29:10,050 --> 00:29:11,100
Children.
To be doing right, so we gonna

758
00:29:11,110 --> 00:29:11,940
finish reading.
Out then, Yes.

759
00:29:11,950 --> 00:29:13,220
So let's finish up reading real
quick.

760
00:29:13,230 --> 00:29:16,960
So in terms of reading, what I'd
expect them to be doing at home

761
00:29:16,970 --> 00:29:21,030
is I would say this, read as
much as possible and a minimum

762
00:29:21,090 --> 00:29:23,560
of half an hour a week is what I
would say to someone.

763
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,500
But read as much as possible.
And I don't care what you're

764
00:29:26,510 --> 00:29:27,890
reading.
Yeah, that that's what I would

765
00:29:27,900 --> 00:29:29,050
say.
And the goal posts, nothing to

766
00:29:29,060 --> 00:29:30,940
do.
The test, that's simply because

767
00:29:30,950 --> 00:29:33,390
it will help them develop.
Yeah, and I say minimum half an

768
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,170
hour, but read as much.
As possible, quite a low amount

769
00:29:35,180 --> 00:29:36,890
actually.
I probably I I think I'm quite

770
00:29:36,900 --> 00:29:39,250
harsh with this then and I'm
quite strict on minimum, but I

771
00:29:39,260 --> 00:29:42,350
think 10 minutes a day and I
think that's my minimum.

772
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,790
Maybe that's a bit mean.
OK, so would you be happy with a

773
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,420
child chunking it?
Missing a day of reading, but

774
00:29:48,430 --> 00:29:48,800
doing.
Half.

775
00:29:48,810 --> 00:29:52,510
Now these rules can be bent
slightly I suppose, but like

776
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,110
really strict.
It was 1 chunk a week though I'd

777
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,310
be a bit like yeah, in terms of
OK, you've missed, you've

778
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:58,700
missed.
One Would you Would you go as

779
00:29:58,710 --> 00:30:01,760
far to say, read every day?
Well, yeah, I think so.

780
00:30:01,770 --> 00:30:03,700
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Reading every day, I think.

781
00:30:03,710 --> 00:30:04,910
I think it's gonna have a huge
impact.

782
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,800
To be honest with you.
But I think that's easy to

783
00:30:06,850 --> 00:30:10,040
attain if we kind of get away
from it has to be their reading

784
00:30:10,050 --> 00:30:11,520
book at school.
Because it could.

785
00:30:11,530 --> 00:30:13,880
It could be as simple as when
you're cooking, they're read the

786
00:30:13,890 --> 00:30:14,920
ingredients in the back.
Yeah.

787
00:30:14,930 --> 00:30:16,610
That's reading just.
Yeah, that's I think.

788
00:30:16,620 --> 00:30:18,100
I think.
But I agree with you then we

789
00:30:18,110 --> 00:30:19,820
need to expand that scope
probably.

790
00:30:20,050 --> 00:30:22,440
And and then parents won't feel
as bad for not meeting these

791
00:30:22,450 --> 00:30:23,550
targets.
Because I think what happens a

792
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,940
lot of the time is as schools,
we have these very rigid rules.

793
00:30:25,950 --> 00:30:28,940
Like you said, you read X
amounts per week for X amount of

794
00:30:28,950 --> 00:30:30,110
time.
You get these signatures in your

795
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:30,770
book.
Yeah.

796
00:30:30,860 --> 00:30:33,510
Realistically, from my point of
view, I don't really care about

797
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:34,110
all that.
I know.

798
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,090
I know there's reasons why we do
it and it's to try and get a

799
00:30:36,100 --> 00:30:38,370
minimum threshold.
But I personally would get rid

800
00:30:38,380 --> 00:30:40,730
of reading records and just
foster this environment of

801
00:30:40,740 --> 00:30:42,600
reading for pleasure.
Reading for the sake of it.

802
00:30:42,820 --> 00:30:45,290
Reading ingredients on the back
of something when you're cooking

803
00:30:45,340 --> 00:30:47,050
a Curry that we're gonna get
later on.

804
00:30:47,060 --> 00:30:49,890
Which we're gonna convince
everyone and you know just just

805
00:30:49,940 --> 00:30:52,750
anything out loud.
Yeah, this environment of your

806
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,550
reader and you can read whatever
it could be.

807
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,190
The lyrics on a Spotify song.
Yeah.

808
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,120
You know I love the idea of just
you know, they're listening to

809
00:30:58,130 --> 00:30:59,430
Taylor Swift.
Cool.

810
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,930
Spotify has this speech now
where the bricks come up.

811
00:31:01,980 --> 00:31:04,510
So you could be singing along
and just and reading as you go.

812
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,850
Put the subtitles on the telly
when you watch the telly that's

813
00:31:06,860 --> 00:31:08,910
reading.
Like all of this I think, should

814
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,010
count towards reading.
And I think this macro idea of

815
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,480
becoming a reader is a huge
thing.

816
00:31:14,490 --> 00:31:16,900
We can push at home in general
if we have that, Yeah.

817
00:31:16,910 --> 00:31:18,930
And it should be an expectation
this will leave it on.

818
00:31:18,940 --> 00:31:20,730
I think that's the highest,
highest priority.

819
00:31:20,740 --> 00:31:23,170
And yeah, it's an expectation,
you know, you mentioned maths.

820
00:31:23,180 --> 00:31:26,060
I want you to quickly talk about
the rest of English though, OK?

821
00:31:26,070 --> 00:31:28,130
Because I think this is
different tiers here where we

822
00:31:28,140 --> 00:31:30,360
will get onto maths.
I'd say reading and maths are

823
00:31:30,370 --> 00:31:32,680
probably the most important, and
that's kind of leading into what

824
00:31:32,690 --> 00:31:34,460
we're gonna say now.
And I I think I know where you

825
00:31:34,470 --> 00:31:36,300
stand here.
So what?

826
00:31:36,310 --> 00:31:38,180
What would be your expectations
as a teacher?

827
00:31:38,250 --> 00:31:40,520
Yeah, very bluntly.
Well, we'll expand after.

828
00:31:40,670 --> 00:31:44,480
What would you say to a parent a
child must be doing at home with

829
00:31:44,490 --> 00:31:47,560
writing.
Must be doing at home.

830
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,810
Not not not like not not your
what you could be doing to.

831
00:31:51,820 --> 00:31:52,380
Help.
I don't.

832
00:31:52,390 --> 00:31:53,390
You would.
Controversial.

833
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:54,750
Nothing.
Hmm.

834
00:31:54,790 --> 00:31:57,250
Honestly must be writing.
Nothing.

835
00:31:57,260 --> 00:31:59,810
I'll do that at school.
They do plenty of writing at

836
00:31:59,820 --> 00:32:01,770
school.
If six hours a day of writing in

837
00:32:01,780 --> 00:32:04,470
various subjects not enough,
then just leave them alone.

838
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,220
Don't read some books instead.
I don't know.

839
00:32:07,230 --> 00:32:09,540
That's why I think you remember
we are talking about the

840
00:32:09,550 --> 00:32:11,290
average.
If someone came to me and said

841
00:32:11,300 --> 00:32:13,240
my child is really, really
struggling this thing, obviously

842
00:32:13,250 --> 00:32:15,270
I'm going to give them advice
and be like you should be doing

843
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,680
some of these.
Activities just face off again.

844
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,300
Is.
I think I'm ignoring children

845
00:32:20,310 --> 00:32:21,720
especially, but I think
something.

846
00:32:21,730 --> 00:32:23,330
No, no, no.
We've we've established all

847
00:32:23,340 --> 00:32:24,630
that.
Yeah, If anyone skipped to this,

848
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:25,770
then you missed all the
establishment.

849
00:32:25,780 --> 00:32:26,950
You're gonna miss all that.
That's fine.

850
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,360
Yeah.
And so, so writing genuinely,

851
00:32:29,370 --> 00:32:31,400
then.
If if a child in your class did

852
00:32:31,410 --> 00:32:33,780
absolutely no writing all year
last year with them.

853
00:32:33,980 --> 00:32:36,070
Outside of school.
Yeah, outside of school, you'd

854
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,290
be like that's.
OK, yeah, because I think that's

855
00:32:38,300 --> 00:32:41,100
basically what happens now.
Yeah.

856
00:32:41,150 --> 00:32:43,960
I think anyone that does, it's
always like an extra bonus, like

857
00:32:43,970 --> 00:32:45,800
wow, well done, you've done.
You know, I had, I had a kid

858
00:32:45,860 --> 00:32:46,950
and.
I'd encourage it though.

859
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:47,420
Right.
Yeah.

860
00:32:47,430 --> 00:32:47,840
Good.
Yeah.

861
00:32:47,850 --> 00:32:50,210
Yeah I actually quite often
place my kids ohh go home and

862
00:32:50,220 --> 00:32:51,560
maybe we're doing independent
right.

863
00:32:51,570 --> 00:32:53,410
Yeah we've planned it.
If they're interested.

864
00:32:53,420 --> 00:32:54,850
Like I have a little practise
tonight.

865
00:32:54,860 --> 00:32:56,290
I see you can write a paragraph
bring it in.

866
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:57,910
I will have a look at it.
You know you can improve it

867
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,090
tomorrow.
They never do but you get the

868
00:33:00,100 --> 00:33:01,650
odd odd time.
So there's a kid.

869
00:33:01,660 --> 00:33:03,440
I won't obviously can't say the
name on the podcast but if

870
00:33:03,450 --> 00:33:05,240
someone that you talk a couple
of years ago and I know you were

871
00:33:05,250 --> 00:33:08,890
really fond of this of this kid
and he brought in a story a

872
00:33:08,900 --> 00:33:10,590
script.
He brought in a script recently

873
00:33:10,630 --> 00:33:12,350
written this whole script.
Him and his mate.

874
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,610
How cute is this?
Him and his mates have written a

875
00:33:14,620 --> 00:33:15,990
script and they're all
characters in it.

876
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,190
I'm a character in it.
You're a character in it and

877
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,360
it's just like just it's not
just a funny story.

878
00:33:20,370 --> 00:33:21,950
And he was really wanted me to
read it.

879
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,180
Yeah.
And all I wanted to do.

880
00:33:23,190 --> 00:33:24,650
I didn't care about the quality
of the writing.

881
00:33:24,660 --> 00:33:26,460
At this point.
It was like I am just going to

882
00:33:26,470 --> 00:33:29,790
big him up so much for for doing
some writing at home, because

883
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,670
that's quite rare.
And like you said and it's never

884
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,740
an expert, I don't have an
expectation that they do that,

885
00:33:33,790 --> 00:33:35,260
but when they do, it's a bonus.
So pretty.

886
00:33:35,270 --> 00:33:36,400
Cool.
OK, this is really interesting

887
00:33:36,410 --> 00:33:40,640
because I find that I find
writing for pleasure something

888
00:33:40,650 --> 00:33:42,560
that we've kind of lost in the
curriculum.

889
00:33:42,650 --> 00:33:44,350
We always talk about reading for
pleasure.

890
00:33:44,390 --> 00:33:45,980
We always talk about reading for
the sake of it.

891
00:33:45,990 --> 00:33:47,240
Read something you're interested
in.

892
00:33:47,290 --> 00:33:49,750
We don't sit there and judge how
well they read words every

893
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,010
single time.
You just read something for

894
00:33:51,020 --> 00:33:51,770
pleasure.
Yeah.

895
00:33:51,820 --> 00:33:53,990
I think because we've lost
writing for pleasure in the

896
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,460
curriculum.
I, you know, I'm not saying I do

897
00:33:57,470 --> 00:33:59,930
this, but I think best practise
would to be to encourage it at

898
00:33:59,940 --> 00:34:02,850
home a bit more.
So I I would think that it not

899
00:34:02,860 --> 00:34:06,690
not as often as we're saying in
terms of reading, but I think

900
00:34:06,700 --> 00:34:10,270
there's room for us to say to
parents, let them write, just

901
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,409
let them write.
Let them decide what they're

902
00:34:12,420 --> 00:34:13,900
going to write about.
Because in school it's very

903
00:34:13,909 --> 00:34:15,610
structured.
We're doing a newspaper report

904
00:34:15,620 --> 00:34:17,250
for these three weeks, then
we're doing a character

905
00:34:17,260 --> 00:34:18,389
description for these three
weeks.

906
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,280
We might not do a play.
Yeah, we might do it once a

907
00:34:21,290 --> 00:34:21,969
year.
Yeah.

908
00:34:21,980 --> 00:34:23,159
Yeah, right.
They might not do it in a whole

909
00:34:23,170 --> 00:34:24,580
year across across the.
Curriculum.

910
00:34:24,630 --> 00:34:26,880
And that might be the thing.
And that's thing they enjoy.

911
00:34:26,929 --> 00:34:30,219
So, you know, we I've always go
back to this moment with writing

912
00:34:30,270 --> 00:34:32,800
because it was exactly what I'd
want them to do at home.

913
00:34:32,909 --> 00:34:36,280
And what I don't want to happen
at home with writing is parents

914
00:34:36,290 --> 00:34:39,659
to think that they have to sit
there and correct, you know, the

915
00:34:39,670 --> 00:34:42,280
use of a conjunction or commas
in the wrong place because

916
00:34:42,290 --> 00:34:44,760
that's hard to do, that's hard
to teach well.

917
00:34:44,770 --> 00:34:46,440
And I want to take that away
from parents at home.

918
00:34:46,489 --> 00:34:48,400
Reading's different.
We, you know, we expect the

919
00:34:48,409 --> 00:34:49,540
level of reading and you can
read.

920
00:34:49,550 --> 00:34:51,020
It you just have they, I mean,
would you help?

921
00:34:51,030 --> 00:34:52,800
Them read the words were
straightforward exactly.

922
00:34:52,810 --> 00:34:54,659
And and then that's much more
easy to control.

923
00:34:54,670 --> 00:34:56,679
Yeah, writing it can.
There can be some

924
00:34:56,690 --> 00:34:58,400
contradictions.
We're gonna talk about a lot in

925
00:34:58,410 --> 00:34:59,660
matter.
I was about to say this links

926
00:34:59,670 --> 00:35:00,930
really well.
Yeah, so we'll move on.

927
00:35:00,940 --> 00:35:02,050
We'll move on to maths in a
second.

928
00:35:02,060 --> 00:35:05,380
But I guess my overall point
here is encouraging writing for

929
00:35:05,390 --> 00:35:08,990
the sake of writing and
celebrating it no matter what

930
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,840
they get down in the paper to
aren't honestly, in this

931
00:35:11,890 --> 00:35:13,730
instance don't care about
capital letters, don't care

932
00:35:13,740 --> 00:35:16,200
about full stops.
But we can, we can mention them

933
00:35:16,210 --> 00:35:18,170
if it's awful and we know it's a
target for the children.

934
00:35:18,180 --> 00:35:22,680
Yeah, but being creative, like I
think writing such an important

935
00:35:22,690 --> 00:35:25,000
part for children to develop
that, that we lose in the

936
00:35:25,010 --> 00:35:28,840
curriculum.
I think there is scope to say to

937
00:35:28,850 --> 00:35:32,700
children and parents at home,
let them just be creative

938
00:35:32,710 --> 00:35:34,760
because whenever a child does
that, I'm over the moon.

939
00:35:34,870 --> 00:35:36,750
So actually, doesn't that show
that it's a really good?

940
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,560
Thing.
Do you value handwritten stuff

941
00:35:38,630 --> 00:35:41,540
differently to type type stuff?
I think of interest.

942
00:35:42,940 --> 00:35:45,680
Do I value handwritten stuff
more?

943
00:35:45,910 --> 00:35:49,160
But I think I'm outdated and
probably wrong, so I I don't

944
00:35:49,170 --> 00:35:51,840
think that's correct.
And I wouldn't necessarily want

945
00:35:51,850 --> 00:35:55,170
to predicate that to my
children, but I think within a

946
00:35:55,180 --> 00:35:57,480
few years that went well.
Be an outdated thing.

947
00:35:57,550 --> 00:36:00,160
A lot of people will say, you
know, fine, motor skills, fine,

948
00:36:00,210 --> 00:36:04,010
early development, fine.
But if they've got that, is it

949
00:36:04,020 --> 00:36:06,270
better that they Start learning
how to type quickly and

950
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:07,260
accurately?
Probably.

951
00:36:07,270 --> 00:36:09,680
Probably.
But yeah, I know, but are we

952
00:36:09,690 --> 00:36:12,520
just old already?
Like to kids these days, even

953
00:36:12,530 --> 00:36:15,170
having a PC, like people are
just have iPads and phones and

954
00:36:15,180 --> 00:36:17,190
things, so it's very different
and already they're typing with

955
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:18,500
thumbs.
It's just completely different

956
00:36:18,510 --> 00:36:19,820
experience.
I've had it before, apparently,

957
00:36:19,830 --> 00:36:22,380
where children now, when they go
to school, they go into an IT

958
00:36:22,390 --> 00:36:23,640
suite, They're touching the
monitor.

959
00:36:24,150 --> 00:36:26,270
They think it's nice.
Yeah, because it's like the

960
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,040
easiest access thing, isn't it?
A tablet?

961
00:36:28,310 --> 00:36:29,990
Yeah, I don't know.
So yeah, writing.

962
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,620
I'd say much lower than reading,
but I wouldn't.

963
00:36:33,770 --> 00:36:36,710
Project so same as me, like you
don't have an expectation they

964
00:36:36,720 --> 00:36:39,850
do X amount of writing at.
Home, but I would facilitate and

965
00:36:39,860 --> 00:36:41,970
encourage it.
As much as well, so, so far

966
00:36:41,980 --> 00:36:44,460
then, all we're saying is we
expect reading at home.

967
00:36:44,470 --> 00:36:46,340
So let's think about maths,
because you mentioned you made a

968
00:36:46,350 --> 00:36:48,970
really good point about how
writing is very nuanced and

969
00:36:48,980 --> 00:36:52,290
there's a lot of really tricky
rules of writing that.

970
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,310
I'm not saying parents don't
know these things, but

971
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,520
generally, even as a teacher it
takes quite a few years to

972
00:36:56,530 --> 00:36:59,130
actually fully grasp the writing
curriculum because it's so

973
00:36:59,140 --> 00:37:02,770
ridiculously complex.
Maths is kind of similar and

974
00:37:02,780 --> 00:37:05,740
we've talked before about mass
and new mass and I've spoke to

975
00:37:05,750 --> 00:37:08,000
loads of parents who say ohh, we
didn't learn it like this back

976
00:37:08,010 --> 00:37:11,120
in my day and there there does
kind of risk factor with that

977
00:37:11,130 --> 00:37:15,070
doesn't there That if if we have
a maybe a huge expectations that

978
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,660
you need to do all this maths at
home like almost the whole

979
00:37:17,670 --> 00:37:19,330
curriculum.
We give you this homework portal

980
00:37:19,340 --> 00:37:20,500
maybe that does the whole
curriculum.

981
00:37:20,510 --> 00:37:23,680
We set you homework every week
that children are maybe going to

982
00:37:23,690 --> 00:37:25,660
develop misconceptions or get
confused because their parents

983
00:37:25,670 --> 00:37:28,370
are saying no don't do that way.
Your teacher said just move the

984
00:37:28,380 --> 00:37:30,760
decimal point you know what I
mean stuff like that.

985
00:37:30,770 --> 00:37:35,520
So what's your opinion on doing
maths at home and what your

986
00:37:35,530 --> 00:37:37,870
expectation is, I guess for
parents doing maths at home with

987
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,310
their children.
Yeah maybe it's because like you

988
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,640
said we're control freaks a
little bit in terms of maths and

989
00:37:43,650 --> 00:37:46,770
we know maths so well.
I would genuinely draw the line

990
00:37:46,780 --> 00:37:50,110
at wrote facts.
I I would, I would be more than

991
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,390
happy if just at home all
they're doing is if they're

992
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,160
early enough, learning their
number one to 10.

993
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:56,970
Yeah.
Learning the number 1 to 20

994
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:01,650
within 20, like 8 plus what is
13 Yeah that kind of stuff.

995
00:38:01,660 --> 00:38:03,190
So valuable and there's only one
answer.

996
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,370
So just learning that,
practising that, practising that

997
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,430
times tables of course division
facts the other way.

998
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:13,530
So you know, I've never, not
never, but very rarely have I

999
00:38:13,540 --> 00:38:18,210
met a child by year four, let's
say, who has completely mastered

1000
00:38:18,220 --> 00:38:21,090
all of those, wrote facts
quickly and accurately to the

1001
00:38:21,100 --> 00:38:23,090
point where they don't really
need to get quicker or more

1002
00:38:23,100 --> 00:38:25,310
accurate.
Yeah, So because that's the

1003
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,350
case, I would say to any parent
out there who wants to do stuff

1004
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,670
with maths at home, until your
child has completely mastered

1005
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,550
that, leave the rest to school.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, do those

1006
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:35,790
things.
I yeah, I agree.

1007
00:38:35,860 --> 00:38:37,660
We have a lot of similar
opinions, obviously, because

1008
00:38:37,670 --> 00:38:40,170
we've created a whole shooting
company where we help.

1009
00:38:40,180 --> 00:38:42,500
We help parents at home do these
things and because we've then

1010
00:38:42,510 --> 00:38:45,110
thought, what are the main
things that these guys can be

1011
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:46,940
doing at home 1st?
And we call it our foundation

1012
00:38:46,950 --> 00:38:47,650
skills right.
Yeah.

1013
00:38:47,660 --> 00:38:49,340
There's one more though.
There's one on add to this.

1014
00:38:49,350 --> 00:38:50,620
There's one thing from the
curriculum.

1015
00:38:50,630 --> 00:38:52,820
You probably guess what it is by
the time I finish time.

1016
00:38:53,260 --> 00:38:56,770
Yeah.
Time one I just time it's.

1017
00:38:56,780 --> 00:38:58,480
There's no link, right?
There's no links.

1018
00:38:58,550 --> 00:39:00,320
I can't find the link still.
I just.

1019
00:39:00,330 --> 00:39:02,040
I can't teach it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1020
00:39:02,050 --> 00:39:02,860
It's not enough.
Time.

1021
00:39:02,870 --> 00:39:05,260
But don't you find, Like with a
lot of the curriculum, there are

1022
00:39:05,270 --> 00:39:08,720
links like you know if you've
been learning column addition,

1023
00:39:08,910 --> 00:39:11,040
you know you can link it to
something else if you've been

1024
00:39:11,050 --> 00:39:12,540
learning, rounding to the
nearest 10.

1025
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,390
Yeah.
The place value is an intrinsic

1026
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:15,910
link in.
It links to place value.

1027
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,590
Yeah.
Time is base 12.

1028
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,310
Yeah.
It's, it's nothing to do with

1029
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:20,030
anything.
Yeah.

1030
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,240
And then a one is five.
It'd be like, literally as it

1031
00:39:23,250 --> 00:39:26,550
is, as random to children as
doing in the middle of after

1032
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,940
five years of curriculum green
light going to lesson binary.

1033
00:39:28,950 --> 00:39:30,270
Yeah, exactly.
Is that right?

1034
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:30,660
Sorry.
What?

1035
00:39:30,670 --> 00:39:32,470
What's this?
It's just a whole, you know, you

1036
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,490
been learning this one place
value system and you're still

1037
00:39:34,500 --> 00:39:36,050
struggling with that?
Yeah, here's another one.

1038
00:39:36,150 --> 00:39:39,220
So yeah, time is tricky and this
is something that I probably

1039
00:39:39,230 --> 00:39:40,730
sound really old, but it's
definitely true.

1040
00:39:40,740 --> 00:39:44,360
It's definitely true that over
time, children have become less

1041
00:39:44,370 --> 00:39:47,290
and less and less confident with
reading a clock face.

1042
00:39:47,300 --> 00:39:48,890
Yeah, digital time is not so
bad.

1043
00:39:48,900 --> 00:39:51,030
Do you know why reading an
analogue analogue clock?

1044
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,010
You know why we don't use them?
As you don't see it.

1045
00:39:53,020 --> 00:39:54,070
Yeah, they don't see it.
Yeah.

1046
00:39:54,110 --> 00:39:57,190
And it's like almost a rarity,
my kids, if I show them an

1047
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,530
analogue clock in school,
because we always have one in

1048
00:39:59,540 --> 00:40:01,950
the classroom.
But I've shown on the board and

1049
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,620
they're like, oh, I've got one
of them in my kitchen, like,

1050
00:40:04,630 --> 00:40:06,260
like, it's like a little shiny
toy.

1051
00:40:06,270 --> 00:40:08,580
Yeah, it's like asking like an
old Roman numeral thing.

1052
00:40:08,590 --> 00:40:09,860
Ohh, I've seen one of those
types.

1053
00:40:09,870 --> 00:40:12,000
Before.
But I would argue that again,

1054
00:40:12,010 --> 00:40:14,670
I'm thinking of my year go ahead
because I spent most of my

1055
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,660
career in year four.
I would.

1056
00:40:16,730 --> 00:40:19,240
I'm gonna say 10% of kids can
read a clock.

1057
00:40:19,410 --> 00:40:21,620
Yeah, 10, that's like properly.
Yeah.

1058
00:40:21,630 --> 00:40:22,940
Even in year six.
Yeah.

1059
00:40:22,950 --> 00:40:25,010
It hasn't he.
It's not even answer for those

1060
00:40:25,020 --> 00:40:27,060
that aren't teaching and the
national curriculum the last

1061
00:40:27,070 --> 00:40:30,060
time that they're supposed to
have lessons on time because

1062
00:40:30,170 --> 00:40:32,920
supposedly mastered by this
point easier for is not even in

1063
00:40:32,930 --> 00:40:35,120
the curriculum after that.
But generally teachers will

1064
00:40:35,130 --> 00:40:37,860
teach it in year five and in
year six as well, because you'll

1065
00:40:37,870 --> 00:40:40,670
have timetables and stuff where
they assume you can tell time

1066
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,840
because they do some hard
problems and they just can't.

1067
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,320
The amount of you know over the
years, the Essex I've taught

1068
00:40:45,330 --> 00:40:47,240
that have no idea how to read a.
Clock.

1069
00:40:47,250 --> 00:40:48,840
So I I would, I would definitely
make that.

1070
00:40:48,850 --> 00:40:52,360
I would also, I would say to
parents who want to know what

1071
00:40:52,370 --> 00:40:55,260
they can do at school as a
teacher, where I think it would

1072
00:40:55,270 --> 00:40:57,550
be fantastic to do maths at
school and I would again

1073
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,400
encourage this is anything where
it's in context.

1074
00:41:00,410 --> 00:41:02,400
News and say that, yeah, it's.
True measurement stuff, Yeah.

1075
00:41:02,410 --> 00:41:04,100
Anything.
So, so if you're, you know,

1076
00:41:04,450 --> 00:41:06,080
you're using a measuring jug,
right?

1077
00:41:06,090 --> 00:41:09,450
And it's 400 grammes to 500
grammes and you need to measure

1078
00:41:09,460 --> 00:41:12,720
450, fantastic opportunity to
talk about how 50 is half of

1079
00:41:12,730 --> 00:41:15,660
100, where would that be and
then say well where would 400

1080
00:41:15,670 --> 00:41:17,120
and. 75 BE Yeah.
When does it become a

1081
00:41:17,130 --> 00:41:18,170
kilogramme?
Yeah.

1082
00:41:18,180 --> 00:41:19,440
That they don't know.
Do that, Yeah.

1083
00:41:19,450 --> 00:41:21,190
So.
But those things, I've found

1084
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,820
there is a direct correlation
between how hard something is to

1085
00:41:23,830 --> 00:41:25,510
teach and how embedded in
context it is.

1086
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,360
Yeah.
So in terms of time, in terms of

1087
00:41:27,370 --> 00:41:30,160
measurement, those things are
really hard to teach in a

1088
00:41:30,170 --> 00:41:32,920
discrete lesson unless you give
it a lot of time and constantly

1089
00:41:32,930 --> 00:41:36,190
revisit it.
Whereas if you just if you just

1090
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,600
do a lesson on converting metres
to centimetres and you just say

1091
00:41:38,610 --> 00:41:41,960
what times 100 / 100, they'll be
able to do it in that lesson, a

1092
00:41:41,970 --> 00:41:45,510
week later they will complete.
Even if you go down the amount

1093
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:50,110
of times I've really tried hard
to teach like Millie Senti Desi

1094
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,680
and like and I tried to yeah,
let's at least so you can at

1095
00:41:53,690 --> 00:41:55,230
least remember something to do
with 10 or 100.

1096
00:41:55,240 --> 00:41:57,750
Even if they remember 100,
they'll just get.

1097
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,610
The wrong way round.
I mean, just get OK, divide 3

1098
00:42:01,620 --> 00:42:05,380
centimetres IS300 metres like
nought .3 or something like

1099
00:42:05,390 --> 00:42:06,740
that, right?
No, it's in terms of like they

1100
00:42:06,750 --> 00:42:09,280
do the wrong way round.
So it's two millimetres rather

1101
00:42:09,290 --> 00:42:13,030
than times by 10 by. 10 They'll
say 3 centimetres IS300 metres,

1102
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,040
Yeah.
And they're not really, but that

1103
00:42:15,050 --> 00:42:16,930
because there's no context
involved, they don't know

1104
00:42:16,940 --> 00:42:18,940
because they're not measuring,
you know, we have to try and

1105
00:42:18,950 --> 00:42:21,100
provide them with that.
But yeah, but really in terms of

1106
00:42:21,110 --> 00:42:23,300
maths at home, the most powerful
thing is do your rote learning

1107
00:42:23,310 --> 00:42:24,940
and do anything in context.
Yeah.

1108
00:42:24,990 --> 00:42:27,000
When it comes to problem solve,
I wanna talk about new mass and

1109
00:42:27,010 --> 00:42:30,120
old mass quickly because we have
delivered as mathletes in our

1110
00:42:30,130 --> 00:42:31,640
school.
Whenever we do like an open

1111
00:42:31,650 --> 00:42:34,000
evening, we'll open up to
parents and we'll do a maths

1112
00:42:34,010 --> 00:42:36,490
presentation, right.
And we've done it a few times to

1113
00:42:36,500 --> 00:42:37,620
a few different rooms of
parents.

1114
00:42:37,690 --> 00:42:40,220
And basically what we do is
what's our aim with the

1115
00:42:40,230 --> 00:42:43,050
curriculum what would we expect
from home which is in a good

1116
00:42:43,060 --> 00:42:45,100
what we're talking about right
now and and what we set for

1117
00:42:45,110 --> 00:42:46,590
homework in our school.
It's very simple.

1118
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,390
It's just write stuff homework.
That's all we expect from the

1119
00:42:49,450 --> 00:42:53,120
from from people but we want to
start introducing projects and

1120
00:42:53,130 --> 00:42:55,650
stuff like that.
Again linked to what we've just

1121
00:42:55,660 --> 00:42:59,010
said in context not something
really there's a question of how

1122
00:42:59,020 --> 00:43:01,530
to do it.
Follow a recipe.

1123
00:43:01,580 --> 00:43:04,450
OK there's gonna be old and new
maths there but to a lot of

1124
00:43:04,460 --> 00:43:06,600
parents they look at the way we
teach maths maybe with

1125
00:43:06,720 --> 00:43:09,830
manipulatives out in front of us
with base 10 here's a 10 block,

1126
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,430
100 block.
The idea of exchanging to

1127
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,010
parents, they just cross out and
put a one.

1128
00:43:14,340 --> 00:43:16,840
And and even when I was in
school, they never really

1129
00:43:16,850 --> 00:43:19,400
understood that that one was
worth 10.

1130
00:43:19,470 --> 00:43:22,000
Yeah, because I was exchanging
A10 for 10 ones and all that

1131
00:43:22,010 --> 00:43:24,320
kind of stuff.
I just managed with someone who

1132
00:43:24,330 --> 00:43:26,680
grasped that and got it.
There are a lot of children in

1133
00:43:26,690 --> 00:43:27,860
class who didn't grasp it and
get it.

1134
00:43:27,870 --> 00:43:29,960
There was no context again and
they kind of got confused.

1135
00:43:29,970 --> 00:43:31,980
So there's a reason why we do
stuff, but there is definitely a

1136
00:43:31,990 --> 00:43:35,240
line still where parents look at
it and we had a talk to a parent

1137
00:43:35,250 --> 00:43:38,190
after one of these meetings and
they were I wouldn't do it like

1138
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,070
that bit of waste of time in it
after I'd just given 1/2 an hour

1139
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:44,030
talk about why we do it.
And you know it is a bit

1140
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,360
undermining.
But my underlying thought there

1141
00:43:46,370 --> 00:43:49,770
was there is a bit of a barrier
here and I don't think they

1142
00:43:49,780 --> 00:43:52,340
necessarily trying to be rude.
They're just saying that's why

1143
00:43:52,350 --> 00:43:54,300
basing your time doing that,
like I can teach them that in

1144
00:43:54,310 --> 00:43:54,670
two.
Minutes.

1145
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,840
Yeah.
And and like you said I won't go

1146
00:43:56,850 --> 00:43:59,360
into it right now because we
talk about this for an hour but

1147
00:43:59,370 --> 00:44:05,570
not it's a podcast is it is with
manipulatives and using hands on

1148
00:44:05,580 --> 00:44:08,450
things.
It just means that more children

1149
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,950
get the underlying concept
behind why something works in

1150
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,470
maths and it and it does.
It's just the problem is it's a

1151
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:15,610
long term thing isn't it?
Right.

1152
00:44:15,620 --> 00:44:17,930
Because I know that by the time
I got to secondary school maybe

1153
00:44:17,940 --> 00:44:19,530
in year 10, year 11, year 12,
whatever.

1154
00:44:19,620 --> 00:44:23,930
There were some things where me
relying on more my wrote not my

1155
00:44:23,940 --> 00:44:26,690
memorization of facts and things
have no real understanding of

1156
00:44:26,700 --> 00:44:29,200
them started to fall apart.
And if I just properly

1157
00:44:29,210 --> 00:44:31,500
understood the concepts and
their most simple level and

1158
00:44:31,510 --> 00:44:33,390
built up from that way.
I probably would have found a

1159
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,010
lot of the harder have easier
later on.

1160
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,290
And I think parents struggle to
understand that sometimes

1161
00:44:37,300 --> 00:44:39,870
teachers do the amount of times
I see on Facebook or whatever.

1162
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:41,470
Well why we do this bloody
master.

1163
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,170
Yeah.
Teachers say get rid of this I I

1164
00:44:43,180 --> 00:44:45,670
just cross out the button thing
here tell them this rule it's

1165
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,780
called the butterfly method.
And I'm like yeah but that

1166
00:44:47,790 --> 00:44:50,170
doesn't mean anything.
They'll get the answer right.

1167
00:44:50,240 --> 00:44:53,260
But then in two years time when
they have to kind of up level

1168
00:44:53,270 --> 00:44:55,530
this skill to something way
harder conceptually that just

1169
00:44:55,540 --> 00:44:58,060
builds on that concept they have
no idea how to do it.

1170
00:44:58,140 --> 00:45:00,010
Whereas the kids that have been
built up conceptually will be

1171
00:45:00,020 --> 00:45:01,810
like, oh, it's like that thing I
get.

1172
00:45:01,820 --> 00:45:03,800
That I'm going to give the
perfect example quick before we

1173
00:45:03,810 --> 00:45:05,290
move on.
I think we've established what

1174
00:45:05,300 --> 00:45:07,400
we want from maths.
The perfect example is within

1175
00:45:07,410 --> 00:45:10,820
the year 4 we do that exact
process where before Christmas

1176
00:45:10,900 --> 00:45:13,120
I'll teach children how to
multiply and divide by 10 and

1177
00:45:13,130 --> 00:45:15,280
100.
Yeah only working with whole

1178
00:45:15,290 --> 00:45:18,720
numbers, so it will be a whole
number multiplied by 10 or 100.

1179
00:45:18,790 --> 00:45:23,000
Very simple because you just add
a zero, you add 2 zeros and and

1180
00:45:23,010 --> 00:45:24,380
straight away we ban that
language.

1181
00:45:24,390 --> 00:45:26,540
We don't say that language and
we make a big thing about it.

1182
00:45:26,630 --> 00:45:29,110
Even though the children could
very easily get through those

1183
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:30,740
lessons.
Just putting 00 done.

1184
00:45:31,010 --> 00:45:33,980
And then when you divide by 100,
there's always at least two

1185
00:45:33,990 --> 00:45:35,800
placeholders at the end.
Yeah, so we never go into

1186
00:45:35,810 --> 00:45:38,740
decimals.
It might be 1300 / 100.

1187
00:45:38,790 --> 00:45:40,740
They know.
OK, take off the two zeros.

1188
00:45:40,790 --> 00:45:42,900
We ban that.
Those children could get through

1189
00:45:42,910 --> 00:45:45,920
that lesson before Christmas,
that whole week of lessons,

1190
00:45:45,990 --> 00:45:48,340
doing the quick way that maybe
they'd get tougher.

1191
00:45:48,350 --> 00:45:49,940
And doing like 20 minutes.
Exactly.

1192
00:45:49,950 --> 00:45:51,420
Easy.
Done green.

1193
00:45:51,430 --> 00:45:52,180
Wow.
Perfect.

1194
00:45:52,190 --> 00:45:55,300
My kids are really cool.
However, instead, what we teach

1195
00:45:55,310 --> 00:45:57,430
in that point is look place
value chart.

1196
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:58,700
We've learned about the place
value chart.

1197
00:45:58,710 --> 00:46:01,000
Let's get them out.
Let's build this number straight

1198
00:46:01,010 --> 00:46:01,930
away.
Parents will be thinking.

1199
00:46:01,940 --> 00:46:04,160
What a waste of just take off
this image you sent home for

1200
00:46:04,170 --> 00:46:06,110
homework exactly.
They just go across zeros off.

1201
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:06,730
You got it?
Yeah.

1202
00:46:06,740 --> 00:46:07,690
OK.
No, don't worry.

1203
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,370
Because here we're gonna build
the number we know place value.

1204
00:46:10,380 --> 00:46:12,290
We're gonna make links to when
we've made numbers before.

1205
00:46:12,300 --> 00:46:14,070
Yeah.
OK, now we're gonna divide by

1206
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,190
10.
What do you notice about 12:50?

1207
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:20,530
One is 10 times less than 10,
and 10 is 10 times less than

1208
00:46:20,540 --> 00:46:21,980
100.
And we talk about pay, so we

1209
00:46:21,990 --> 00:46:23,670
divide by 10.
We're going to shift what was in

1210
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:26,130
the 10s column to the ones.
They're cool.

1211
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:30,030
And I say to the kids, if you
notice the trick, yeah, we can

1212
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,610
just get rid of the zeros.
You're right, we can.

1213
00:46:32,620 --> 00:46:34,270
And that works for these
questions.

1214
00:46:34,310 --> 00:46:36,820
But you wait till after
Christmas, we're gonna do it and

1215
00:46:36,830 --> 00:46:38,980
you'll see why.
And they're like, ohh, OK, yeah.

1216
00:46:38,990 --> 00:46:42,320
Comes to Christmas, they build
the number, divide it by 10.

1217
00:46:42,410 --> 00:46:44,540
And all I need to teach them at
that point is there's such thing

1218
00:46:44,550 --> 00:46:46,700
as a decimal place between whole
numbers and part numbers.

1219
00:46:46,710 --> 00:46:47,520
Yeah.
And they get it.

1220
00:46:47,570 --> 00:46:50,000
Yeah.
And otherwise they'll get 39 /

1221
00:46:50,010 --> 00:46:53,410
10 and they'll say 3 because
they think the 9 just take the

1222
00:46:53,420 --> 00:46:57,140
#39 and they'll just stay the
same number because they just

1223
00:46:57,150 --> 00:46:58,450
don't possibly know what could
happen.

1224
00:46:58,460 --> 00:46:59,930
Or they'll think that the
question is wrong.

1225
00:46:59,940 --> 00:47:01,280
With time, they tend to put zero
on it.

1226
00:47:01,290 --> 00:47:02,460
Yeah, you're.
Right.

1227
00:47:02,470 --> 00:47:03,640
That's a perfect.
Example.

1228
00:47:03,650 --> 00:47:06,790
So what would you expect at
home?

1229
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,750
What they need to do?
Number facts number say that

1230
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,210
includes number ones to 10.
Numbers are 20 just general

1231
00:47:12,220 --> 00:47:14,420
number facts in general,
including times tables.

1232
00:47:14,540 --> 00:47:16,570
So like really like wrote.
Like we've mentioned wrote a

1233
00:47:16,580 --> 00:47:17,910
lot.
By the way, if you're not into

1234
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,120
schools and don't use the word
wrote, it literally just means

1235
00:47:20,130 --> 00:47:21,830
just memorization, just facts
that you memorised as.

1236
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:23,630
It you just practise over and
over again.

1237
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,470
Not a process, just the thing,
yeah, nothing to do.

1238
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,190
Concepts, just learn that fact.
Cool.

1239
00:47:28,260 --> 00:47:30,550
So before we go on to the rest
of the curriculum, very quickly,

1240
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,560
again, talking to people at
home, very interested if you're

1241
00:47:32,570 --> 00:47:33,770
a teacher and if you're a
parent.

1242
00:47:33,780 --> 00:47:36,090
In this situation, we're
actually just entered both, so

1243
00:47:36,100 --> 00:47:38,440
we're kind of then as we go.
We won't have a parents evening

1244
00:47:38,450 --> 00:47:39,700
for a while, though.
I want to tell my parents

1245
00:47:39,710 --> 00:47:40,720
evening.
We can do a mock 1.

1246
00:47:40,770 --> 00:47:42,640
Yeah, yeah.
So I think reading, writing,

1247
00:47:42,650 --> 00:47:45,250
maths, that kind of that does
dominate parents evening

1248
00:47:45,260 --> 00:47:47,090
discussions, whether you're a
teacher or parent, you know

1249
00:47:47,100 --> 00:47:48,330
that's going to dominate the
discussion.

1250
00:47:48,340 --> 00:47:49,870
So let's just take a pause to
talk about parents.

1251
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:53,480
You can very quickly, OK, What
what do you think again as a

1252
00:47:53,490 --> 00:47:56,160
teacher, what would you be
saying to parents during parents

1253
00:47:56,170 --> 00:47:57,860
evening?
What would you prioritise?

1254
00:47:57,950 --> 00:48:00,400
What do you think is useful?
Because it's that kind of only

1255
00:48:00,410 --> 00:48:03,080
chance we get really to speak
about how their child's getting

1256
00:48:03,090 --> 00:48:05,060
on and what they can do at home.
So.

1257
00:48:05,070 --> 00:48:07,320
So how would you approach this?
Because you told me what you'd

1258
00:48:07,330 --> 00:48:08,590
expect from a child.
Hmm.

1259
00:48:08,630 --> 00:48:11,360
So you sit down at parents
evening with with a child and

1260
00:48:11,370 --> 00:48:13,520
you've got all this feedback.
What would you do then?

1261
00:48:13,530 --> 00:48:14,700
Would you go straight in and say
do this?

1262
00:48:14,710 --> 00:48:15,900
Do you know what goes through my
head?

1263
00:48:15,910 --> 00:48:18,290
And it's really simple and
sometimes I'm I'm awkwardly sat

1264
00:48:18,300 --> 00:48:19,880
there and parents evening
thinking, I don't know what to

1265
00:48:19,890 --> 00:48:22,860
say to you because all that's
going from my head really is,

1266
00:48:22,950 --> 00:48:25,320
are they doing all the things we
just mentioned?

1267
00:48:25,630 --> 00:48:27,200
Do they know their times tables
well?

1268
00:48:27,330 --> 00:48:31,380
Can they read Well if they can
I'm and they're doing quite well

1269
00:48:31,390 --> 00:48:33,970
at school I'm usually sort of
like yeah they're doing really

1270
00:48:33,980 --> 00:48:37,740
well see you next time I don't
know what to say sometimes and I

1271
00:48:37,750 --> 00:48:40,650
know it's like there's very
commonplace to then start

1272
00:48:40,660 --> 00:48:43,210
waffling on about random
objectives that they can do in

1273
00:48:43,220 --> 00:48:45,280
school and I find that really
boring.

1274
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,350
I don't want to sit there and
tell them ohh, I've noticed that

1275
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:50,460
writing recently been using
loads of really good

1276
00:48:50,470 --> 00:48:51,620
conjunctions.
They've been using our new

1277
00:48:51,630 --> 00:48:53,830
conjunctions.
Can you just and we talked to

1278
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,390
them as if they're going to go
home now and like work on can

1279
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,190
you start trying to show them
how to use due to the fact that

1280
00:48:59,460 --> 00:49:01,980
and in their in their writing I
want to use that junction a bit

1281
00:49:01,990 --> 00:49:03,780
more and while you're there just
prepositional phrases.

1282
00:49:03,790 --> 00:49:06,020
We've been working on those
didn't really get it very well.

1283
00:49:06,030 --> 00:49:08,380
So it's like I have what?
Come on.

1284
00:49:08,390 --> 00:49:10,880
It's not many parents really.
But yeah, write that down.

1285
00:49:10,890 --> 00:49:12,220
Do prepositional phrases
tonight.

1286
00:49:12,230 --> 00:49:14,810
I think a good parents evening
links very closely to what we've

1287
00:49:14,820 --> 00:49:16,280
been saying.
That's what makes it a good

1288
00:49:16,290 --> 00:49:17,960
parents evening.
Yeah, and you miss one thing

1289
00:49:17,970 --> 00:49:19,300
off.
And I know you do this, but

1290
00:49:19,370 --> 00:49:22,440
honestly I start every parents
evening with and this is again

1291
00:49:22,450 --> 00:49:23,720
advice.
We got there at school.

1292
00:49:23,970 --> 00:49:25,910
Yeah, literally.
And but the first thing I say to

1293
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,040
her parent is, do you have any
questions for me?

1294
00:49:28,090 --> 00:49:30,840
Because we only get 10 minutes.
And if they've got a need or a

1295
00:49:30,850 --> 00:49:33,340
desire or a question, that's
more important than me assuming

1296
00:49:33,350 --> 00:49:35,420
they need to wanna hear about a
prepositional phrase.

1297
00:49:35,430 --> 00:49:37,250
Yeah, and you know what?
It normally isn't something to

1298
00:49:37,260 --> 00:49:40,220
do with NASA, to be honest with.
You might be, you know, social

1299
00:49:40,230 --> 00:49:41,490
problem.
It might be Ohh.

1300
00:49:41,500 --> 00:49:43,640
You know, he mentioned he he
found this tricky.

1301
00:49:43,690 --> 00:49:45,530
Then you can talk about that
exact thing and what you're

1302
00:49:45,540 --> 00:49:46,920
doing.
About it I generally my my sort

1303
00:49:46,930 --> 00:49:50,560
of my procedure is really if
it's like a flow chart, flow

1304
00:49:50,570 --> 00:49:53,410
chart, are they are they average
or above average in maths and

1305
00:49:53,420 --> 00:49:54,860
English?
If they are I'll talk about over

1306
00:49:54,870 --> 00:49:56,380
10 seconds.
Yeah, doing really well

1307
00:49:56,390 --> 00:49:57,660
anything.
Want me to do anything nice at

1308
00:49:57,670 --> 00:49:59,740
home, no cook, carry on doing
reading.

1309
00:49:59,750 --> 00:50:01,660
It's great, they're doing really
well and then I'll just go

1310
00:50:01,670 --> 00:50:04,960
straight to social stuff and and
if they if they are behind in

1311
00:50:04,970 --> 00:50:07,760
something, that's when I'll then
open up that discussion and say

1312
00:50:07,770 --> 00:50:10,260
look greater maths, you know,
doing really well, but.

1313
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:11,760
This is what we're.
Doing now, reading.

1314
00:50:11,770 --> 00:50:13,570
This is what we're doing.
This is what we're doing for

1315
00:50:13,580 --> 00:50:15,810
reading.
But this is what you could do at

1316
00:50:15,820 --> 00:50:17,100
home to help.
Because they're not where they

1317
00:50:17,110 --> 00:50:17,760
should be.
Yeah.

1318
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:19,640
And then we'll have that
discussion about how I can

1319
00:50:19,650 --> 00:50:21,170
support.
Them a very interesting and very

1320
00:50:21,180 --> 00:50:23,500
quickly before we move on, on
parents evening, do you start

1321
00:50:23,510 --> 00:50:26,460
with academic or social?
I usually start with social, OK.

1322
00:50:26,510 --> 00:50:31,220
I usually start with the same
thing every time I say, first of

1323
00:50:31,230 --> 00:50:33,680
all, before I start to waffling
on about so and so about the

1324
00:50:33,690 --> 00:50:35,220
pandemics.
Are they happy?

1325
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,580
How have they been since we last
spoke?

1326
00:50:37,710 --> 00:50:40,430
And and that usually and that
allows them to open up about

1327
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,330
anything.
I think that's much more useful,

1328
00:50:42,340 --> 00:50:44,490
personally, and I hope parents
find as well.

1329
00:50:44,500 --> 00:50:45,700
Cool.
Just a very quick pit stop

1330
00:50:45,710 --> 00:50:47,250
there.
But parents evening, let's move

1331
00:50:47,260 --> 00:50:49,570
on then to other subjects and
come we're gonna break up a

1332
00:50:49,580 --> 00:50:50,740
little bit.
Yeah.

1333
00:50:50,780 --> 00:50:54,610
But again we're being very clear
here what we think children

1334
00:50:54,660 --> 00:50:58,030
should do at home.
So the big one.

1335
00:50:58,100 --> 00:50:59,490
Yeah.
Physical education.

1336
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:03,970
We know as a school and in terms
of as a school teacher and all

1337
00:51:03,980 --> 00:51:06,070
people working in a school that
it's.

1338
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:08,930
It can be really tricky to get
your quota of what we need to do

1339
00:51:09,010 --> 00:51:10,060
physical education.
Yeah.

1340
00:51:10,070 --> 00:51:11,180
Yeah.
We we talked to a million times

1341
00:51:11,190 --> 00:51:14,160
about the timetable go look at
the old, old episodes and

1342
00:51:14,170 --> 00:51:17,310
lessons conform lessons again
And so you know what would you

1343
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,300
be wanting a child to do in
terms of physical education at

1344
00:51:19,310 --> 00:51:22,260
home and in terms of just being
active would would you have a

1345
00:51:22,270 --> 00:51:24,480
minimum expectation or do you
think that's not part of your.

1346
00:51:24,490 --> 00:51:25,420
Job right?
Yeah.

1347
00:51:25,430 --> 00:51:28,100
I was about to say, even though
I think it's really important,

1348
00:51:28,110 --> 00:51:29,980
personally, I find it a little
bit condescending.

1349
00:51:29,990 --> 00:51:32,010
Sure.
I don't know why, because

1350
00:51:32,020 --> 00:51:33,190
there's no really, it's not
really.

1351
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:34,240
This is the whole.
Point isn't it?

1352
00:51:34,250 --> 00:51:37,250
Of the other things, it's like,
what is our role because we

1353
00:51:37,260 --> 00:51:39,790
don't wanna be hypocrites.
Maybe it's because I think this

1354
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,650
is is because reading and
writing maths, it's all drilled

1355
00:51:42,660 --> 00:51:44,470
in, they get they're getting
tested on this and it will

1356
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,400
affect their academic life.
So I can.

1357
00:51:46,410 --> 00:51:49,130
And as an academic person who's
in control of this stuff, I can

1358
00:51:49,140 --> 00:51:51,190
kind of have a bit of a say on
because I'd argue this at home.

1359
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:53,980
I'd argue that physical help is
gonna have as much an impact as

1360
00:51:53,990 --> 00:51:55,590
their ability.
To read but it's not in the Sats

1361
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:59,270
and so I think that makes me
feel like I I'm not allowed is

1362
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,090
more of like that's a personal
thing I shouldn't comment on as

1363
00:52:02,100 --> 00:52:03,810
much.
I don't think I've ever so if

1364
00:52:03,820 --> 00:52:07,030
I've ever had a child.
OK, touchy subject here who's

1365
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:08,500
maybe a little bit larger than
other children.

1366
00:52:08,510 --> 00:52:12,070
I'm never ever going to sit
there as a parent and say ohh

1367
00:52:12,110 --> 00:52:14,360
notice they're a bit larger than
the other children.

1368
00:52:14,470 --> 00:52:16,880
Maybe you should consider doing
this exercise right now.

1369
00:52:16,890 --> 00:52:18,100
How cringy would that?
Be.

1370
00:52:18,110 --> 00:52:20,520
However, if a child couldn't
read as well as someone else,

1371
00:52:20,530 --> 00:52:22,250
you'd be the first.
Person straight there.

1372
00:52:22,260 --> 00:52:24,460
So there is definitely something
different about that, even

1373
00:52:24,470 --> 00:52:26,770
though I think physical
education, physical education is

1374
00:52:26,780 --> 00:52:27,700
extremely.
Important.

1375
00:52:27,710 --> 00:52:29,630
And again, people will say, oh,
you know, people.

1376
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:31,410
Sometimes with people who are
maybe slightly larger, there

1377
00:52:31,420 --> 00:52:33,530
might be a reason behind it.
Like you might have a metallic

1378
00:52:33,540 --> 00:52:35,370
thing.
Same for reading, though, there

1379
00:52:35,380 --> 00:52:37,210
might be a kind of dyslexia,
there might be something we

1380
00:52:37,220 --> 00:52:39,740
still, we still talk about it.
Yeah, we still help them.

1381
00:52:39,750 --> 00:52:41,960
So it's very interesting how we
see it, completely different.

1382
00:52:41,970 --> 00:52:43,640
I think attitudes are changing
towards PE.

1383
00:52:43,930 --> 00:52:47,890
I think prevention for health in
our country is going to be huge

1384
00:52:47,900 --> 00:52:49,470
when we can't fund the NHS
properly.

1385
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:50,920
Hmm.
And I think that's where we're

1386
00:52:50,930 --> 00:52:53,730
gonna head next, personally.
But at the minute I would never

1387
00:52:53,740 --> 00:52:56,380
say to a parent what I expect
them to do at home.

1388
00:52:56,390 --> 00:52:58,470
Me neither.
I you recommendations and stuff,

1389
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,030
But it would be really harsh
here about what you need to do

1390
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,570
at home.
Honestly, right now it would be

1391
00:53:03,580 --> 00:53:05,150
nothing.
Yeah, it's funny because I do

1392
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:08,430
expect it.
Expect parents to be doing these

1393
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:09,640
things.
But I would never sit there and

1394
00:53:09,650 --> 00:53:10,130
say it.
Yeah.

1395
00:53:10,140 --> 00:53:11,540
As a professional inner school.
Yeah.

1396
00:53:11,610 --> 00:53:13,130
I wouldn't say, oh, this is the
expectation.

1397
00:53:13,140 --> 00:53:15,300
Yeah, yeah, it's it's just,
yeah, it's a weird one.

1398
00:53:15,370 --> 00:53:17,320
Crazy.
But I guess I, you know, we can

1399
00:53:17,330 --> 00:53:19,460
talk other subjects in general.
But I think, I think that

1400
00:53:19,470 --> 00:53:21,560
probably summarises how I feel
about a lot of the other

1401
00:53:21,570 --> 00:53:25,830
creative subjects and things.
I'd never expect them to be

1402
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:27,960
doing Art at home.
I would like it.

1403
00:53:28,140 --> 00:53:29,280
Umm.
I guess that.

1404
00:53:29,290 --> 00:53:31,930
I mean, I think he's probably
the highest priority of all of

1405
00:53:31,940 --> 00:53:34,280
the other subjects, because
physical health is obviously

1406
00:53:34,290 --> 00:53:36,520
just important in a different
way, isn't?

1407
00:53:36,530 --> 00:53:39,200
It maybe we could approach this
slightly differently then and

1408
00:53:39,210 --> 00:53:41,760
kind of encompass everything in
terms of the other subjects.

1409
00:53:41,770 --> 00:53:44,590
Now then, because let's start
with what the goal is, because I

1410
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,740
think the goal with with
reading, maths, everything we

1411
00:53:47,750 --> 00:53:51,050
talked about previously.
The goal is of course Sats, but

1412
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,310
at home I think the goal posts
have moved and the whole idea is

1413
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:57,280
almost functioning in society.
It's like this is how you're

1414
00:53:57,290 --> 00:54:00,630
going to make more progress in
school as well.

1415
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:02,400
If you manage to get these
things and we can push you and

1416
00:54:02,410 --> 00:54:05,380
make you more able to restrict
yourself, able to do maths, blah

1417
00:54:05,390 --> 00:54:07,950
blah blah.
With the other stuff, I'd argue

1418
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,670
that the only expectation I have
at home, and I would say this is

1419
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:13,570
an expectation.
I wouldn't give an individual

1420
00:54:13,580 --> 00:54:15,570
thing about do half an hour of
science every week and do an

1421
00:54:15,580 --> 00:54:17,290
hour of geography and make sure
you do it, yeah.

1422
00:54:17,300 --> 00:54:19,990
What I would say is, though, if
you've managed to find what

1423
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,190
interests your child and if
you've managed to foster an

1424
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,400
enjoyment of research and
finding things out and learning,

1425
00:54:25,450 --> 00:54:28,220
Because I tell you what, if you
picked a kid in my class at

1426
00:54:28,230 --> 00:54:30,800
random, I could tell you what
they're interest is.

1427
00:54:30,810 --> 00:54:32,990
I could be like that.
That child is so interested in

1428
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:34,230
the Roman Empire, it's
hilarious.

1429
00:54:34,240 --> 00:54:36,260
This child is like a mini David
Attenborough.

1430
00:54:36,270 --> 00:54:38,550
He knows all these facts about,
you know, frogs and stuff like

1431
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:40,580
that.
That is what I would say as a

1432
00:54:40,590 --> 00:54:42,670
teacher to a parent.
I was like, do that and that

1433
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:45,790
would be an expectation.
But listen, find what they're

1434
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,660
interested in and facilitate it.
Buy them books about it, you

1435
00:54:48,670 --> 00:54:50,620
know, let them go.
And if they're interested in

1436
00:54:50,630 --> 00:54:52,200
wildlife, go for a walk through
the woods.

1437
00:54:52,290 --> 00:54:55,450
You know, I would say just react
to your child and a lot of

1438
00:54:55,460 --> 00:54:58,650
parents did this already, but I
would never expect anything to

1439
00:54:58,660 --> 00:55:01,170
do with the curriculum when it
comes to any of these things.

1440
00:55:01,180 --> 00:55:03,210
Mm-hmm.
It's completely out of enjoyment

1441
00:55:03,260 --> 00:55:05,750
into all.
I think my point is extremely

1442
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,010
similar, but there's a slightly
different Tang to it in terms

1443
00:55:08,020 --> 00:55:11,280
of.
I have an expectation that I

1444
00:55:11,290 --> 00:55:15,180
think it should be an
expectation that parents do not

1445
00:55:15,190 --> 00:55:18,020
make school a negative thing.
It's kind of the same point,

1446
00:55:18,030 --> 00:55:20,920
really, but like also talking
about like, actively avoid.

1447
00:55:20,930 --> 00:55:22,620
I don't care about what your
opinions are of school.

1448
00:55:22,660 --> 00:55:25,640
Don't make your child think
school is boring and negative.

1449
00:55:25,650 --> 00:55:28,400
Don't big up that like.
My expectation for you as a

1450
00:55:28,410 --> 00:55:32,020
parent is to do your best job to
make your child enjoy coming to

1451
00:55:32,030 --> 00:55:33,780
school.
Because I'll do the same at

1452
00:55:33,790 --> 00:55:36,090
school and my expectations that
you do that and you won't be

1453
00:55:36,100 --> 00:55:37,920
like, oh, what you doing
geography for Geography sucks,

1454
00:55:37,930 --> 00:55:40,130
and I hated geography at school.
Don't do geography.

1455
00:55:40,140 --> 00:55:41,510
Job is boring.
Just get through the lessons.

1456
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:44,450
If you're saying that to your
child, it's not helping, it's

1457
00:55:44,460 --> 00:55:45,470
not helping.
Yeah.

1458
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,180
And at the same time, you know,
teach them that it's OK to have

1459
00:55:48,190 --> 00:55:50,580
an interest, though they're
allowed to like lessons more

1460
00:55:50,590 --> 00:55:52,010
than others.
Yeah, of course that's really

1461
00:55:52,020 --> 00:55:54,100
normal.
But, you know, and and try to

1462
00:55:54,110 --> 00:55:56,170
find meaning in everything.
Yeah, absolutely.

1463
00:55:56,220 --> 00:55:58,810
So just another thing because
I've sorted my notes and it

1464
00:55:58,820 --> 00:56:01,000
reminded me.
So we obviously we've talked in

1465
00:56:01,010 --> 00:56:02,410
the past, we've got choosing
company right.

1466
00:56:02,420 --> 00:56:04,900
So we deal with, but I speak to
a lot of parents, you speak to a

1467
00:56:04,910 --> 00:56:07,860
lot of parents outside of
school, not to do of our school

1468
00:56:07,870 --> 00:56:09,460
roles, but to do with our
tutoring business.

1469
00:56:09,510 --> 00:56:11,150
And I find it really, really
interesting.

1470
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:14,340
When you're in the world of
tutoring, there is a whole scope

1471
00:56:14,390 --> 00:56:18,710
of parenting styles.
And I'm interested because I

1472
00:56:18,720 --> 00:56:21,220
think I've seen both ends of
this spectrum right on on your

1473
00:56:21,230 --> 00:56:26,870
opinion on how much is too much.
It is very dependent on the

1474
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:29,160
child and I've learnt this
through doing tutoring.

1475
00:56:29,170 --> 00:56:30,270
I'm.
I'm absolutely with you here.

1476
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:31,550
Yeah.
What I would say straight away

1477
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:34,130
is I would separate this
discussion we're about to have

1478
00:56:34,140 --> 00:56:36,510
of what we've just had.
Because I think what we just did

1479
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:39,410
was as a teacher, what we'd
expect all children to be doing.

1480
00:56:39,420 --> 00:56:41,250
Yeah, Yeah.
Now again, that was like a

1481
00:56:41,260 --> 00:56:43,250
minimum of what we'd expect them
to do.

1482
00:56:43,300 --> 00:56:45,570
There's, like you said, there's
a whole scope past that and

1483
00:56:45,580 --> 00:56:47,310
tutoring's part of that.
That's outside of school.

1484
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,810
That's extra.
Of course, as people who provide

1485
00:56:49,820 --> 00:56:51,850
tutoring, we know the benefits
that can have children.

1486
00:56:51,860 --> 00:56:54,670
So again, I want to really
separate this out and say like

1487
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:57,430
we're now talking about parent
LED almost like about.

1488
00:56:57,440 --> 00:56:58,290
Apparent.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1489
00:56:58,300 --> 00:56:59,870
I'm just interested.
You know, you're right.

1490
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:01,220
I think.
Go on, repeat your question

1491
00:57:01,230 --> 00:57:02,600
again.
So yeah, just how basically just

1492
00:57:02,610 --> 00:57:05,070
how how much is too much and you
sort of said was yeah And on an

1493
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:05,750
individual.
Basis.

1494
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:10,420
So I used to think that too much
was very definable.

1495
00:57:10,510 --> 00:57:13,660
And I'd be like, OK, yeah, OK.
Look, if you're doing half an

1496
00:57:13,670 --> 00:57:18,240
hour of solid prep work every
day, like lesson work every

1497
00:57:18,250 --> 00:57:21,020
night with your child, and it's
not remotely to do with any, any

1498
00:57:21,030 --> 00:57:22,260
child that enjoyment.
Yeah.

1499
00:57:22,310 --> 00:57:24,840
Yeah, I I would still err on the
side of doing that.

1500
00:57:24,850 --> 00:57:28,650
Right now, however, I've met
children since who?

1501
00:57:28,700 --> 00:57:33,370
For them that is as fun as doing
a football club, that is as fun.

1502
00:57:33,380 --> 00:57:34,610
That's the fostering of
enjoyment.

1503
00:57:34,620 --> 00:57:36,690
There are some children and I
don't know why I'm acting like

1504
00:57:36,700 --> 00:57:39,850
it was when I was younger.
Fun for you, fun for me was

1505
00:57:39,860 --> 00:57:42,150
doing sums.
I'd get my granddad because I'd

1506
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:44,050
buy a book.
My mum would buy me a book full

1507
00:57:44,060 --> 00:57:45,150
of math sums.
Yeah.

1508
00:57:45,220 --> 00:57:47,350
And I would do them all and I'd
call them sums.

1509
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:48,640
They'd be multiplication and
stuff.

1510
00:57:48,650 --> 00:57:49,970
Like, we're gonna do my maths
sums.

1511
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:51,790
I'd write them all.
I'd given to my granddad.

1512
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:53,900
He'd marked them.
I'd get too wrong and he'd be

1513
00:57:53,910 --> 00:57:55,730
like, what happened to them too.
And I'm like, ohh, God, I need

1514
00:57:55,740 --> 00:57:58,010
to go to another page.
That to me was as fun as sitting

1515
00:57:58,020 --> 00:57:59,440
and playing a video game.
Yeah, right.

1516
00:57:59,510 --> 00:58:02,340
So what I would say now is I
think it has to be led by the

1517
00:58:02,350 --> 00:58:05,460
child.
What's too much is I think that

1518
00:58:05,970 --> 00:58:08,340
you're always going to get
children who resent learning.

1519
00:58:08,350 --> 00:58:11,160
In general, those children still
have to do some learning.

1520
00:58:11,430 --> 00:58:14,720
I think it's got to be of utmost
importance to teach them that

1521
00:58:14,730 --> 00:58:17,220
sometimes they can't enjoy every
single thing they do.

1522
00:58:17,470 --> 00:58:19,600
That's part of life.
They're going to be some things

1523
00:58:19,610 --> 00:58:21,830
you do where it's to do with
prep and helping you that your

1524
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,600
parents want you to do and you
have to just do it sometimes.

1525
00:58:24,710 --> 00:58:27,740
But I think there is an onus on
the parent to at some point be

1526
00:58:27,750 --> 00:58:30,280
like, OK, well this is obviously
having an adverse effect.

1527
00:58:30,590 --> 00:58:32,740
They have a negative attitude
towards learning.

1528
00:58:32,810 --> 00:58:33,300
Yeah.
OK.

1529
00:58:33,310 --> 00:58:35,600
I'm gonna find a different way
to learn because I think it's

1530
00:58:35,650 --> 00:58:37,440
links to what we said about
reading.

1531
00:58:37,510 --> 00:58:40,520
Let's change the attitude.
Reading doesn't have to be

1532
00:58:40,570 --> 00:58:43,240
reading Moby Dick.
You know, War and Peace really

1533
00:58:43,250 --> 00:58:44,560
tricky.
But ohh, my gosh, I've got to

1534
00:58:44,570 --> 00:58:46,920
read this because mum said
reading can be reading a

1535
00:58:46,930 --> 00:58:48,400
newspaper report on your
favourite football team.

1536
00:58:48,410 --> 00:58:49,680
Yeah.
Reading could be like when

1537
00:58:49,690 --> 00:58:51,410
you're doing the cooking.
Reading exactly enjoying

1538
00:58:51,420 --> 00:58:54,200
learning can be following a
recipe and making something.

1539
00:58:54,210 --> 00:58:56,180
Enjoying learning could also be
writing a recipe book.

1540
00:58:56,190 --> 00:58:58,360
Like they're very different
activities of both involved.

1541
00:58:58,410 --> 00:59:00,660
Yeah, the same sort of context,
yeah.

1542
00:59:00,750 --> 00:59:02,770
Nothing to add to that really is
the same sort of opinion.

1543
00:59:02,780 --> 00:59:03,830
So I was really interesting.
Thank.

1544
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:05,130
You.
You're welcome.

1545
00:59:05,140 --> 00:59:06,280
Hayden.
You what we do?

1546
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:10,430
So to to summarise, I suppose,
let's now very succinctly say

1547
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:11,670
two things.
OK.

1548
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,860
One, the minimum we'd expect
children to bring at home all of

1549
00:59:14,870 --> 00:59:16,430
the time.
Any child.

1550
00:59:16,540 --> 00:59:17,900
Average Joe.
Obviously there are some

1551
00:59:17,910 --> 00:59:20,710
exceptions #2 What would be also
good to do?

1552
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:21,910
So Hayden.
Sure.

1553
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:24,970
What would you say to parents
listening right now?

1554
00:59:24,980 --> 00:59:26,210
I'm a teacher.
I'm doing it for nearly a

1555
00:59:26,220 --> 00:59:27,440
decade.
Do this at home.

1556
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:29,930
OK, so I'm going back to where I
started all the way through.

1557
00:59:29,940 --> 00:59:31,980
Read all the time.
OK, read as much as possible.

1558
00:59:31,990 --> 00:59:33,440
Like Dylan said, Foster and
enjoyment.

1559
00:59:33,450 --> 00:59:35,140
If they're not enjoying it,
don't force it.

1560
00:59:35,150 --> 00:59:36,730
Which is the point we were just
making there.

1561
00:59:36,790 --> 00:59:40,610
Find a way that they enjoy it.
Practise times tables, make sure

1562
00:59:40,620 --> 00:59:42,480
they've got the fundamentals
only in maths.

1563
00:59:42,490 --> 00:59:45,120
Don't worry about too much of
the other stuff.

1564
00:59:45,130 --> 00:59:47,540
Don't worry that your child's
not great along division yet

1565
00:59:47,550 --> 00:59:49,340
honestly.
Just make sure they know the

1566
00:59:49,350 --> 00:59:52,040
number bonds to 10.
They know they enjoy maths, they

1567
00:59:52,050 --> 00:59:53,980
work with, they know how to work
with number, they do their times

1568
00:59:53,990 --> 00:59:55,620
tables.
Just get those fundamentals

1569
00:59:55,690 --> 00:59:57,240
absolutely hammered.
I promise you will make a

1570
00:59:57,250 --> 00:59:58,990
massive difference.
And then the final thing with

1571
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:02,150
maths for me is again
summarising what we said, just

1572
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:04,760
the stuff in context.
So if you can do some real life

1573
01:00:04,770 --> 01:00:07,340
maths, show them that maths is
real and it's not just a thing

1574
01:00:07,350 --> 01:00:09,580
you do in in your book at school
that's also.

1575
01:00:09,670 --> 01:00:12,310
Really impactful, particularly
measurement and time.

1576
01:00:12,620 --> 01:00:14,670
That's what I would say.
Focus on those things.

1577
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:17,490
Hammer it for as many years as
you need to hammer it, and after

1578
01:00:17,500 --> 01:00:19,850
that then you can start thinking
about we can move on to more

1579
01:00:19,860 --> 01:00:21,670
advanced stuff.
But that's the basics for me,

1580
01:00:22,670 --> 01:00:24,400
yeah?
Exactly the same.

1581
01:00:24,510 --> 01:00:26,480
Genuinely exactly the same as
what you just said.

1582
01:00:26,530 --> 01:00:30,020
And I would say, I would
genuinely say that I would

1583
01:00:30,030 --> 01:00:34,700
expect or really, OK, let's go
one step down, really, really,

1584
01:00:34,710 --> 01:00:39,670
really encourage you guys to
just do an arrangement of other

1585
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:42,400
stuff.
Do, do that is your is your

1586
01:00:42,410 --> 01:00:44,120
core.
But I would think that would be

1587
01:00:44,130 --> 01:00:45,820
a very weak core of that's all
you were doing.

1588
01:00:45,860 --> 01:00:48,400
So I think alongside that you
have to supplement it with a

1589
01:00:48,410 --> 01:00:51,280

1590
01:00:51,290 --> 01:00:52,400

You know, find stuff.
I know what you gonna say.

1596
01:01:04,150 --> 01:01:06,860
I know what you're gonna say.
That was we posted a picture

1597
01:01:06,870 --> 01:01:10,730
once of there was a there was a
test that we did in year three.

1598
01:01:10,740 --> 01:01:11,900
And it was your girlfriend, I
think.

1599
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:14,320
Yeah.
The question was simply draw a

1600
01:01:14,330 --> 01:01:15,480
Pentagon.
Yeah, right.

1601
01:01:15,490 --> 01:01:19,320
In a test, a child thought it
was a child thought what?

1602
01:01:19,330 --> 01:01:21,820
A Peacock, Peacock.
Peacock But it was the most

1603
01:01:21,830 --> 01:01:24,580
detailed beautiful Peacock you
know See imagine being that

1604
01:01:24,590 --> 01:01:26,690
child like hating maths but you
love you love wildlife.

1605
01:01:26,700 --> 01:01:28,620
Like good question.
Oh my God, Oh my God.

1606
01:01:28,730 --> 01:01:31,410
I I can draw Peacock and they
spent like 10 minutes drawing.

1607
01:01:31,420 --> 01:01:33,440
This is very beautiful.
It was, really.

1608
01:01:33,450 --> 01:01:34,590
Funny, but yeah.
Foster learning.

1609
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:36,330
Do some research.
Do some projects.

1610
01:01:36,580 --> 01:01:39,430
Dive head first into doing those
if the school set them.

1611
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:42,520
Yeah, you know, build an
Anglo-Saxon Shield's amazing.

1612
01:01:42,530 --> 01:01:44,670
And trying to leave, try to
leave preconceptions behind.

1613
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:47,150
A lot of parents who didn't
enjoy school and it's very

1614
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:51,190
obvious when they have given
that feeling of school to their

1615
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:52,630
children as well.
I've just passed it down.

1616
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:55,390
I hated maths at school and now,
funnily enough, so does my

1617
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:56,790
child.
Yeah, could you tell them you

1618
01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:57,770
hate maths everyday?
Yeah.

1619
01:01:57,780 --> 01:01:59,310
So yeah, just try to be
positive.

1620
01:01:59,350 --> 01:02:01,180
Right, let's head off for a
Jingle.

1621
01:02:01,190 --> 01:02:03,370
Hope you enjoyed that chat
because when we come back we've

1622
01:02:03,380 --> 01:02:07,730
got a nice quick game we're
going to play, right?

1623
01:02:07,740 --> 01:02:10,150
Quick game, just to finish off
something to keep the people

1624
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:11,670
listening for the last bit of
fun.

1625
01:02:11,900 --> 01:02:13,650
I want to do this game.
I've seen it a lot on radio

1626
01:02:13,660 --> 01:02:15,070
stations and stuff like that,
OK?

1627
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:18,990
It's basically I'm going to
whisper a saying to you, OK, I'm

1628
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:20,570
gonna whisper some kind of say.
It's gonna be linked to

1629
01:02:20,580 --> 01:02:23,550
education in some way.
But you can only read my lips

1630
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:26,080
because whilst I'm whispering
this, obviously people can pick

1631
01:02:26,090 --> 01:02:28,590
up on the mic so you can hear it
at home, what I'm saying.

1632
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:31,490
But Hayden's going to have
headphones in listening to some

1633
01:02:31,500 --> 01:02:34,050
Taylor Swift, so he can't hear
anything.

1634
01:02:34,060 --> 01:02:36,530
He only has my lips to go off.
So I'm going to say it so

1635
01:02:36,540 --> 01:02:37,880
everyone can hear it, but you
can't hear.

1636
01:02:37,890 --> 01:02:39,540
You gotta look.
You've got to lip read and say

1637
01:02:39,550 --> 01:02:40,770
what you hear.
OK, and So what you.

1638
01:02:40,780 --> 01:02:43,020
And we've got a few weeks.
We've prepped a few each for

1639
01:02:43,030 --> 01:02:44,440
Hayden.
Here, your headphones.

1640
01:02:44,450 --> 01:02:46,940
OK, so put your headphones in.
I'm gonna play some antihero by

1641
01:02:46,950 --> 01:02:48,860
Taylor Swift.
OK, Current favourite in my

1642
01:02:48,870 --> 01:02:50,760
class is that.
Playing nice and loud.

1643
01:02:50,770 --> 01:02:53,040
Bit louder.
Yeah, that's really loud.

1644
01:02:53,050 --> 01:02:53,670
Yeah.
OK.

1645
01:02:53,710 --> 01:02:54,960
Is that alright?
Hang on.

1646
01:02:55,030 --> 01:02:55,620
Yep.
Good.

1647
01:02:55,630 --> 01:02:57,140
I'm good, right?
So we're gonna do a quick test.

1648
01:02:57,190 --> 01:02:59,100
I I can't hear anything.
By the way, can you hear me

1649
01:02:59,110 --> 01:03:01,130
right now?
Can you hear me right now?

1650
01:03:01,170 --> 01:03:05,030
No, I'm literally ready.
So, Hayden, you got it.

1651
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:07,340
The first one, right?
Play along at home.

1652
01:03:07,350 --> 01:03:08,960
Even though you can hear.
You need to give me a signal

1653
01:03:08,970 --> 01:03:10,350
when you're doing it.
By the way, I can't hear

1654
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:12,540
anything.
But you've got really loud, so

1655
01:03:12,550 --> 01:03:15,190

Hayden shouting now.

1656
01:03:15,230 --> 01:03:17,190
OK.

1659
01:03:25,380 --> 01:03:26,780
Door Can I go to the toilet?
Yeah.

OK, I'm gonna do a couple.
You know what to be.

1661
01:03:30,130 --> 01:03:32,940
OK, next one.
Get an ice pack.

1662
01:03:33,820 --> 01:03:36,450
Go and get an ice pack.
Go and get a classmate.

1663
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:41,680
No, Come and get a nice pack.

1664
01:03:43,110 --> 01:03:45,560

01:03:45,780 --> 01:03:49,080
Go and get an ice pack.
Go and get a class back.

1666
01:03:49,790 --> 01:03:51,250
I don't know.
Think about what to.

1667
01:03:51,260 --> 01:03:53,990
Go and get an ice pack.
Ohh.

1668
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,630

01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:57,440

We're good.
OK, ready.

1674
01:04:03,970 --> 01:04:08,420
It's your time you're wasting.
This is so funny because I wrote

1675
01:04:08,430 --> 01:04:10,580
this down.
It's your time you're wasting.

1676
01:04:11,130 --> 01:04:13,820
I literally did that one on.
Mine, right.

1677
01:04:13,830 --> 01:04:15,580
OK, you got 2 Avery.
OK.

1678
01:04:15,890 --> 01:04:17,370

were.

1679
01:04:17,490 --> 01:04:19,450
Really sorry guys.
I'm so funny, right?

1680
01:04:19,460 --> 01:04:20,940
OK, I'm trying to hear my own
voice.

1681
01:04:21,670 --> 01:04:23,260
Right, my turn.
Cross that one off.

1682
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:25,760
OK, also when I whispered.
I really hope you guys picked it

1683
01:04:25,770 --> 01:04:27,680
up because at first I was
whispering almost within.

1684
01:04:27,690 --> 01:04:29,300
Myself.
Also, you kept giving me

1685
01:04:29,310 --> 01:04:30,620
instructions.
I had no idea what you're

1686
01:04:30,630 --> 01:04:33,080
saying.
I know how this works, so give

1687
01:04:33,090 --> 01:04:33,990
me a thumbs up when you're back
to.

1688
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,250

I'm gonna cross out that one.

1689
01:04:36,260 --> 01:04:37,140
Guys.
Here we go.

1690
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:39,750
That is so long.
It's really loud music.

1691
01:04:39,820 --> 01:04:40,790
OK, here you go.
Ready.

1692
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:42,300
Wait, wait, wait.
OK.

1693
01:04:44,450 --> 01:04:45,680
Ohh, I forgot to say it into the
mic.

1694
01:04:45,690 --> 01:04:50,380
Hang on.
No, I just wished it to myself.

1695
01:04:50,430 --> 01:04:53,490
Wait, don't shout out.
Are you doing it?

1696
01:04:53,610 --> 01:04:56,120
Yes, you're.
Doing it, Don't shout out.

1697
01:04:57,450 --> 01:05:00,610
Go down to town.
Not go down to town again, don't

1698
01:05:00,620 --> 01:05:03,180
shout out.
Don't shout out, don't shout.

1699
01:05:03,190 --> 01:05:03,900
Out.
Well done.

1700
01:05:03,950 --> 01:05:06,330
So the first time anyone not not
watching, I mouthed it,

1701
01:05:06,340 --> 01:05:08,560
forgetting that you guys can't
see my mouth, right.

1702
01:05:08,570 --> 01:05:13,410
Next one assembly time.
Say again?

1703
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:19,610
Assembly time one more time,

It's like really, really

1706
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:31,070
Assembly time.
Almost.

1707
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:35,320
One more.
OK, one more staff meeting

1708
01:05:35,330 --> 01:05:39,420
snacks again.
Staff meeting snacks.

1709
01:05:39,830 --> 01:05:46,480
Staff bleating mess, but he
staff meeting snacks.

1710
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:50,260
Staff meeting bed.
No bed.

1711
01:05:50,530 --> 01:05:54,380
Staff meeting snacks.
Staff meeting sucks.

1712
01:05:55,460 --> 01:05:57,680
He thinks he's got a He thinks
he got it and he got it wrong.

1713
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:00,720
Things are coming and taking the
road.

1714
01:06:00,730 --> 01:06:06,950
Stop meeting snacks.
Ohh God that was quite well

1715
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:08,040
done.
So the first time by the way,

1716
01:06:08,050 --> 01:06:10,290
you couldn't hear me.
No time.

1717
01:06:10,300 --> 01:06:11,190
I did it.
I mouthed it.

1718
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:14,310
I didn't even whisper it.
That's why I realised like.

1719
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:17,170
I can't wait to play it back and
they can't hear me either.

1720
01:06:17,180 --> 01:06:19,130
Yeah guys.
Hope you.

1721
01:06:19,140 --> 01:06:20,770
Enjoyed it.
If it cuts to this part right

1722
01:06:20,780 --> 01:06:23,250
now and you just come back from
the jungle, it's because we just

1723
01:06:23,260 --> 01:06:26,270
played the game and it didn't
pick up at all on the mic, so we

1724
01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:30,120
and we can't bothered it again.
So thanks for, you know, waiting

1725
01:06:30,130 --> 01:06:31,400
anyway.
Oh my God.

1726
01:06:31,410 --> 01:06:32,960
Amazing right?
We're going to finish off that

1727
01:06:32,970 --> 01:06:34,100
guys.
I hope it wasn't too

1728
01:06:34,110 --> 01:06:36,080
controversial this week.
After explaining everything

1729
01:06:36,090 --> 01:06:38,000
teachers shouldn't do, we sat
here as teacher and told you

1730
01:06:38,010 --> 01:06:39,100
everything you should do at
home.

1731
01:06:39,210 --> 01:06:41,200
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, Hayden, did you enjoy

1732
01:06:41,210 --> 01:06:43,110
that?
I really enjoyed it and I can't

1733
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:45,780
wait to find out the criticisms
of what I've said again.

1734
01:06:45,830 --> 01:06:48,520
Yeah yeah did get a few messages
saying CAN headers.

1735
01:06:49,270 --> 01:06:50,470
Made my mind up this time.
I didn't.

1736
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:52,960
I didn't.
I was pretty clear what I

1737
01:06:52,970 --> 01:06:54,490
expect.
Right guys, hope you enjoyed

1738
01:06:54,500 --> 01:06:57,020
that and have a lovely Monday.
Have a lovely week and we'll see

1739
01:06:57,030 --> 01:06:58,610

Bye.
