My names spelled phonetically and my whole life the modus operandi has always been to spell it rather than say it…the funniest thing is when people add silent letters in when they read it aloud😂

Beejdeva @beejdeva.bsky.social · 10/01/2025
Many got it wrong, many included the state, many included rust as a reactant or product. Head scratch moment, then an “aha”moment: “what are the nouns in that sentence?” Only include nouns in your word equation, what are the adjectives include them in the brackets as a one or two letter abbreviation

I taught word equations to year 9 set 4 (bottom) today - a topic that many still struggle with in yr 10 and 11. Explained (concrete to abstract), modelled then CFU on MWBs. “I let solid Iron rust in Gaseous Oxygen and it made solid Iron Oxide. Write, hover, whats the word equation” 🧵

Triple papersx31, marking time per paper - 9mins, 4.65hrs, combined papersx70, marking time per paper - 6mins, 7hrs. Total time to mark paper 1 - 11.65hrs. Add on paper 2 - 23.3hrs. Total gain time - 6hrs. Add on rubbish behaviour and we have a non-teaching job search on our hands😂

Its mock season, yr 11’s roll up to lessons in dribs and drabs, some in exams some not. I found a most excellent @carousel-learning.bsky.social hack for these lessons: get the mwb’s out, log into one the kids accounts on WB, smash through the flashcards in a study pack!!

Oooh I thought of a naughty one😁: Appoint an implementation auditor for each trust. Role: to audit all implementation to ensure that there is actually time in school to implement the idea in the given timescales. Primary objective: stop leaders from saying “just a 5min job” 15 times in a term.

I’m reading up on teacher recruitment, but I don’t see clear patterns about what first brought people into teaching. For me, it felt familiar - I thought I’d like it (especially reading) & I wasn’t sure about what career I wanted. I gave it a go to see. How about other teachers, past & present?
