La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Some schools are mandating the use of AI for marking to ‘save time’. Not sure I like where this is heading.

La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 27/09/2026“What do you mean ‘they can just use and improve last year’s lessons’ ? Nah, can’t have that. Then all they’d be doing is teaching!” 120
La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I don’t know how we got to a point as a profession where we think it’s perfectly ok to keep starting making lessons from scratch every year. I don’t know how to word it, but it feels like the teaching part of our job is the only thing that’s recognised and we’re not allowed any down time. 161
La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Ahh, the old chestnut of “If we didn’t see it happen, we’re assuming it doesn’t happen at all” MWB Edition. When you mandate things based on what you’re not seeing in a 5 min visit you lose all rich, organic learning. Teaching becomes performative and predictable…and ultimately boring. 120
La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I feel bad for the year 7 today who popped off when doing an end of topic test for a short topic. He’s been on holiday - was only in for 3 days at the start of the year and hasn’t a clue what’s going on. Bit they don’t miss anything important, so… 010
La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I have a two week half term. Decided I want to go to NHM for my birthday, which is a weekday, to avoid the weekend crowds. Train: £60 with a railcard. Diabolical. 100

La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Never stopped buying DVDs or Blurays. I knew what would happen the moment Netflix switched to streamin.

La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Year 7: What’s going on that they’re saying to me “I don’t have enough room on my page” and “should I turn the page?” This is my 16th year of teaching and I still can’t work it out 670
La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 14/09/2026It isn’t just OFSTED that increases workload and expectations of staff. External MAT leaders, county advisors and anyone else schools tend to parade round do too. Particularly if you’re trying to improve. The ‘Oh,I like/don’t like that…’ puts pressure on staff and almost always unnecessarily so. 150
La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Last Street Cat rant. What became apparent, over the course of yesterday, was how the men (Older Gen X and Boomers) did not like their wives talking to each other. They were intimidated by the support and collaboration we demonstrated. I then got sent this by a female neighbour. 1152
La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Street cat and kittens update: The men are very angry. They can’t or won’t take charge but don’t like it that I am, and apparently I’m ’off my meds’. Why do they have to resort to comments like that? 341
La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 07/09/2026First full day back today. Been at current school 2 years (2 YEARS!!!). Doesn’t matter how I feel about the politics or system, the kids are ✨it✨ The visits I’ve had off kids who just wanted to pop in; the delighted faces at being on my class again. 0121
La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Oh, in my OG post I’d also said I’d hadn’t been able to get them out of the garage and was looking for ideas. Dozens of people replied saying the could ‘come and collect them now’. I don’t think FB people read… 210
La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Spent the weekend trying to rescue an abandoned domestic and her kittens from a junk filled garage (saga from earlier in summer). Made terrible mistake of posting to some FB groups detailing who’d I’d called for help. Cue multiple replies with “Have you tried X?” The same Xs I’d mentioned…1/2 110

La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Been using my symbol cane for two weeks and it’s very apparent very few people don’t know what it is. Because I’d be bumbling around with a white cane for no reason. 010
La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 31/08/2026This is incredibly important. Questioning is a skill and one, I worry, that is being lost amongst the midst of MAT house-style PPTs and Cookie Cutter Lessons. The more we control teacher’s lessons, the more we lose organic learning and true light bulb moments. 141
La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Feel quite anxious about going back to work. Haven’t felt like this since starting at this school and feel like k did at old school. Spent the summer worrying about unresolved issues, which hasn’t helped. Genuinely wonder if it’s just time to leave teaching. 7100

La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I don’t think I can get onboard with using 100% AI lessons/PPTs The conversation should be why are we still expecting teachers tomate lessons and PPTS from scratch each year rather than refining existing resources? AI is the new toy people are desperately trying to justify the use of. 130
La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Well, that escalated quickly. After, quite frankly, a b*llocks 18 months I now have to use a symbol cane. I am fine; I’m not blind or losing my sight but one eye decided she’s had enough and I got neurologists going “Ohhh, I can write about this.” 1/2 130
La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Corporate, cookie-cutter MAT templates are a prime example of ‘performance pedagogy’ and dare I say, the brilliant MWB has also become a performance pedagogy victim. And cognitive science gets cherry-picked to support or defend it. 120
La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Southern Rail are an absolute shambles. Speed restrictions on the lines post-derailments are resulting in 30 min delays and last minute cancellations due to backed up services. Surely better to run rail replacement buses at this point? 100

La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I can tell you now the NHS can save time and money - have trust talk to each other. I’ve got to spend this afternoon replicating tests and repeating myself to a new specialist in a different trust as care moved from one to another, and no one sees fit to send notes or have a chat. 0100
La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 17/08/2026You can find your kids hard work in the holidays (Smells ate me out of house and home) but probably best not to spell it out for them 010
La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Similarly, if you think AI can plan lessons and make PowerPoints to make life easier, then let it have your job. AI will never be able to preempt misconceptions or pick them apart the way a human can. The notion of it ‘easing the workload’ is a fallacy; you spent just as much time correcting it 053
La Biologuita @labiologuita.bsky.social · 17/08/2026The derailment at Lewes was awful & we’re glad people were ok, but poor Smells has really been caught up in it.
