1
00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:03,400
Oh, just a quick one was just 
looking for my teaching contract

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,800
and obviously we've got directed
time, which is the number of 

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,700
hours that we're paid for to do 
the job. 

4
00:00:07,900 --> 00:00:11,300
But I was just slightly 
concerned because teaching time 

5
00:00:11,300 --> 00:00:13,800
of actually delivering the 
lessons seems to take up pretty 

6
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,600
much all of it and I was just 
thinking, when am I supposed to 

7
00:00:16,608 --> 00:00:18,700
get these other jobs done? 
But show you got an answer for 

8
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:20,700
me? 
When am I supposed to do? 

9
00:00:20,700 --> 00:00:23,100
My planning where you'll be 
really pleased to know that we 

10
00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:26,700
actually build in two hours of 
release time for you every 

11
00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:29,800
single week in the form of your 
PPA and the Pea? 

12
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,300
P in PPA stands for planning. 
Well, that sounds completely 

13
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:33,900
reasonable. 
I guess. 

14
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:36,100
I mean, a bit of a squeeze to 
get my planning done in two 

15
00:00:36,100 --> 00:00:37,900
hours, but we'll give that a 
good go. 

16
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,000
In that case, then when am I 
supposed to prepare the lessons?

17
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,300
You know, print off the 
worksheets, get everything ready

18
00:00:43,300 --> 00:00:45,100
for the lesson. 
If I'm doing DTI, what's gonna 

19
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:47,300
get all the resources, 
obviously, in my own time. 

20
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:50,500
So when's that built-in? 
So the second P NP p, a stands 

21
00:00:50,500 --> 00:00:53,700
for Preparation, and we give you
two hours every week to do that.

22
00:00:53,700 --> 00:00:55,300
Alright, that's that's the same 
two hours. 

23
00:00:55,300 --> 00:00:56,600
I'm getting my planning done in,
is it? 

24
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,200
That's right. 
Okay, cool. 

25
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,200
Interesting. 
What about assessment then? 

26
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,200
And I'm kind of worried because 
I know what letter assessment 

27
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,700
starts with. 
So let's see what your answer 

28
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:06,000
is. 
How am I supposed to get that 

29
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,500
done every time? 
You know, fit in all those 

30
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:11,500
detailed analysis on line? 
That takes a long, long time. 

31
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:13,300
When am I supposed to do that? 
Well, across the term, you'll 

32
00:01:13,300 --> 00:01:15,800
have multiple weeks where we 
give you two hours of release 

33
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,300
time each week to get those jobs
done. 

34
00:01:18,300 --> 00:01:20,300
That's the that's is that, what 
is that PPA? 

35
00:01:20,300 --> 00:01:23,500
That's your PBA, right? 
Okay, so PPA, I assume that's 

36
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:26,800
what they stand for. 
So surely then marking, you 

37
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,500
know, 90 bucks a day, English 
math science. 

38
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,800
That is something else, right? 
We've got a different kind of 

39
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,200
provision for that. 
I get some extra time or I can 

40
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,900
get paid extra for doing that 
work. 

41
00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:38,700
Outside of my contract. 
What about that? 

42
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:40,000
It's funny. 
You should mention extra time 

43
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,600
because that's exactly what 
we've built into your contract. 

44
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,400
You are given two hours every 
week in your PP, a to get that 

45
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:46,200
done. 
Yeah. 

46
00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:48,800
We we kind of established. 
What ppas for though, and it's 

47
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,300
kind of not already enough time 
for that. 

48
00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:52,800
But alright, no problem. 
Moving on. 

49
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000
We've got that. 
Sorted marking my year group 

50
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,800
leader. 
Here's the thing, my PPA is set 

51
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,600
for a Wednesday afternoon and 
Year group leader wants to have 

52
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,500
weekly meetings after school 
outside of directed time on a 

53
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:08,000
Friday, how on Earth does that 
square up? 

54
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,100
So some of your PP a Time, Each 
we can be put towards those 

55
00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:14,100
important meetings. 
My Wednesday PPA time can be put

56
00:02:14,100 --> 00:02:15,700
towards my Friday after school 
meeting. 

57
00:02:15,700 --> 00:02:18,000
Is that what you're telling me? 
That's right. 

58
00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:20,600
Okay, completely unhinged. 
Anyway. 

59
00:02:21,100 --> 00:02:23,900
Last thing I did notice 
obviously I'm in year 6 and the 

60
00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:25,600
residential is coming up. 
Very exciting. 

61
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,300
I seen that the policy. 
So your rule tells me I have to 

62
00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:31,800
leave my home. 
For a week, fine. 

63
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,300
Okay, we're going to accept 
that. 

64
00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:36,000
Do I get a day in lieu? 
Do I put in for overtime into 

65
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,200
the office? 
How does that work better than a

66
00:02:38,208 --> 00:02:40,700
day in lieu? 
And over time, we build in a 

67
00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:43,800
whole day into your working 
hours across five weeks, you'll 

68
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,300
receive 10 hours of planning and
bpa's a bit. 

69
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:47,900
Yep. 
Okay, so my week-long 

70
00:02:47,900 --> 00:02:51,200
residential away from home, I'm 
supposed to do in the same time 

71
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:53,400
for one hour a week. 
When I do my planning, my 

72
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,500
preparation, my marking, my 
assessments, and my meetings 

73
00:02:55,500 --> 00:02:57,000
every week. 
Correct, that's right. 

74
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,500
Yeah. 
You've been listening to an 

75
00:02:58,500 --> 00:02:59,900
advert paid for by the 
department. 

76
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,800
Apartment for Education. 
Join teaching today to receive 

77
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,900
two hours of release time a week
to complete 15 hours worth of 

78
00:03:05,900 --> 00:03:13,200
work. 
Hello everyone. 

79
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,600
Welcome back to another episode 
of teach sleep. 

80
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,200
Repeat, this is episode 6. 
My name is Dylan and my name is 

81
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,900
Hayden and we just want to start
off by saying thank you for the 

82
00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:24,600
response to last week Hayden. 
It was a bumper episode, right? 

83
00:03:24,700 --> 00:03:26,700
I mean it was like more than 
double the length of what we 

84
00:03:26,900 --> 00:03:29,600
have done so far. 
So yeah, I think I did check. 

85
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,700
It was just a few minutes away 
from being the full feature, 

86
00:03:31,700 --> 00:03:34,500
length film Shrek. 
So quite, wow, I'm probably 

87
00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:37,600
better as well actually. 
I think the farmer Or 

88
00:03:37,608 --> 00:03:39,100
highlights, I'm sure from that 
podcast. 

89
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:41,900
So, first of all, thank you for 
that reaction. 

90
00:03:41,900 --> 00:03:45,200
We did ask people to put up a 
poll on Spotify of they listened

91
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,700
and we did ask them on Instagram
as well. 

92
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,600
And every single person said 
that they preferred the longer 

93
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,100
one, or they didn't mind. 
So it looks like you guys are 

94
00:03:52,100 --> 00:03:54,000
really enjoying this and taking 
it all in. 

95
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,400
So, thank you so much. 
We really really, really, really

96
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,300
appreciate the kind words. 
We've had so much positive 

97
00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:02,000
feedback and it makes it even 
more excited to carry on doing 

98
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,500
these episodes. 
So, thank you for that. 

99
00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:06,600
And on the back of that whilst 
you there, guys, lots of you've 

100
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,600
done this already as well. 
I'm going to ask something else 

101
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,800
in a high degree polynomial. 
Going to say a rating would be 

102
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,600
really good. 
A rating would be lovely. 

103
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,700
We've already got about 17. 
I think on Spotify Aiden. 

104
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,800
Yeah. 
And it just gives us legitimacy 

105
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,200
right. 
When people come along and they 

106
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,200
say oh this is a good podcast 
seeing your reviews, they really

107
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,300
help us out and they're not been
one star either which is really 

108
00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:27,000
cool. 
They've been five so as many of 

109
00:04:27,008 --> 00:04:29,800
them as possible would be 
really, really useful. 

110
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,300
Thank you. 
That's pretty awesome. 

111
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,100
And they can also reach us on. 
Other platforms to is that 

112
00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:35,100
correct dinner. 
Yeah.

You're listening to us on. 

114

And, you know, whilst were here,

115
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,700
check out the other Instagram. 
A, that's what I was thinking. 

116
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,200
Yeah, we've posted loads on 
their will continue to post 

117
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,300
because we started to film the 
podcast as well. 

118
00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:54,400
So hello, you're not watching it
live but hello, if I make this 

119
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,400
into a real, you'll see this. 
Don't waste it. 

120
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:03,600
No wants to see this. 
See her on Instagram at teach 

121
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,500
that repeat podcast, give us a 
follow and join in on the chat. 

122
00:05:06,500 --> 00:05:08,500
We have lots and lots of 
interactive things going on 

123
00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:11,400
there and that's me done Hayden 
for all of this. 

124
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,700
So I wanted to ask you as 
always, how has your week been 

125
00:05:14,700 --> 00:05:17,000
my pal? 
I've had a great week as always,

126
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,300
actually always have a great 
week and a funny week this week 

127
00:05:19,500 --> 00:05:21,800
as some just funny moments with 
a kid, you know, I just love 

128
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,300
those little bits. 
They stand out today. 

129
00:05:24,300 --> 00:05:27,700
Your jump in like I have noticed
sorry because I did think this 

130
00:05:27,700 --> 00:05:30,000
earlier, we're getting better 
and better at not talking to 

131
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:30,900
each other. 
The week. 

132
00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:33,500
Yeah, I know it's kind of sad. 
Have you noticed? 

133
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:36,300
Because I think to myself, I go 
to tell you something now. 

134
00:05:36,300 --> 00:05:39,500
Wait, wait, I can put it on the 
podcast, I don't come and tell 

135
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:42,100
you anymore, which is kind of 
cool in the way because I've 

136
00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:44,800
managed to condense, the amount 
of time I have to spend with you

137
00:05:44,900 --> 00:05:48,000
to just one hour. 
Yeah, I did wonder, why you've 

138
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,000
been trying to get me to do a 
podcast for honestly years? 

139
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,500
And I realize now that this is 
it, it's your so much happier 

140
00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:56,700
now, because I'm not talking to 
every five minutes, it's 

141
00:05:56,700 --> 00:05:58,500
brilliant. 
But now you've got this forces 

142
00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:00,100
you to condense it to the actual
useful. 

143
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,300
Information. 
I want to ask, how was your week

144
00:06:02,300 --> 00:06:03,200
right now? 
I want to hear it. 

145
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,900
Let me tell you, okay? 
Because anyone that's listen to 

146
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,700
a few of our podcast will know 
what I'm referencing here. 

147
00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:09,800
So, I make up some silly games, 
right? 

148
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,200
Especially in maths, we had our 
my blow dart game. 

149
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,100
What was that blow dart game? 
Yeah, I blow dart times tables 

150
00:06:16,100 --> 00:06:19,900
game last week and I also talked
about doing sometimes a shootout

151
00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:21,600
games, right? 
And I just love this little 

152
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,900
moments this morning, you know, 
it's nothing crazy but it just 

153
00:06:23,900 --> 00:06:28,600
made me smile, a kid ran into my
math class and straight to me 

154
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,000
because I know if they ask a 
quick enough Might be a chance 

155
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,300
where I'm like I'll go on them 
they're like oh can we, can we 

156
00:06:35,300 --> 00:06:36,700
play? 
And then I didn't use words, 

157
00:06:36,900 --> 00:06:41,700
they just did, can we play and 
the actions for shootout? 

158
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:47,200
And there's just send it to hold
up load up when I just this 

159
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,600
little moment. 
I was like our man. 

160
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,600
What have I done to these kids? 
Can you imagine them going home 

161
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,000
and not using words and just 
using actions are like mr. 

162
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Stevens did what? 
Yes, cocking. 

163
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,800
Lots of trouble for this. 
But I was because they may be 

164
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,500
small. 
I was like, yeah, we can we're 

165
00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:05,700
gonna play both. 
So, did you know what? 

166
00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:07,000
You've done there. 
Do what you've done. 

167
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,500
You've got a child running into 
your classroom asking to do 

168
00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:10,500
maths. 
That's brilliant. 

169
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:13,100
I know they're learning that and
I'll tell you what their time 

170
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:15,300
say was a getting better because
they don't want to lose because 

171
00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:17,200
they get to stay up and play 
again. 

172
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,200
It's a weird impact. 
Mummy, mummy. 

173
00:07:21,500 --> 00:07:23,500
Can I do sometimes Table Rock 
Stars tonight. 

174
00:07:23,500 --> 00:07:24,400

175
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,300
What's the matter darling? 
You okay? 

176
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,500

tranquilized tomorrow. 

177
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,600
No, mummy, I can't do it unless 
you pretend to Shoot me. 

178
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,600
What? 
Maybe I can't. 

179
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,200
I can't solve this time Stables.
Can you just don't get that 

180
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,200
stick and pretend to shoot me 
the blow dart? 

181
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,600
What is 42? 
Something to you. 

182
00:07:42,900 --> 00:07:45,200
Yeah, well listen, I've not had 
any complaints yet. 

183
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,000
So let's see. 
Let's say watch this space. 

184
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:49,600
Brilliant. 
I know you want to tell your 

185
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,500
stories but I just got this one.
Other thing that happened is a 

186
00:07:51,508 --> 00:07:54,800
bit of a throwback again to a 
previous week where and you 

187
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,000
remember when I was playing the 
two truths and a lie game? 

188
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,300
I said, but was held responded 
to a question of mine with your 

189
00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:01,600
mum. 
My mum. 

190
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,200
Yeah, I couldn't believe a kid's
head. 

191
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,700
That do a question like to my 
face. 

192
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,900
Anyway, so we're playing Speed 
Stacks, in PE. 

193
00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:10,900
It's a bit of a cop-out P. 
Less than we do when you're not 

194
00:08:10,900 --> 00:08:12,000
brave. 
Physical right? 

195
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,900

last minute.

Like there was raining outside 
and I have to pee else is going 

197
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,200

It's a whole come back saying I 

198
00:08:18,207 --> 00:08:20,300

Yeah, we couldn't do PE. 

199
00:08:20,700 --> 00:08:23,700

minute thing. 

202
00:08:27,900 --> 00:08:30,400
The kids love it. 
I don't know why, because they 

203
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,000

I was like, okay, that was fun.

00:09:41,300 --> 00:09:44,600
Back to a previous episode, all 
right, your backside like them 

232
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,100
links, we're rewarding the 
returning customers customers, 

233
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:50,700
but they're not, they're not 
customers. 

234
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,600
And our customers do not making 
any money yet, not not finished 

235
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,700
podcast, okay, give it.

236
00:09:55,700 --> 00:09:58,900

be raping in the mass slip 

237
00:09:58,900 --> 00:10:00,700

238
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:02,600
Hello listeners. 
You know, less is any more of 

239
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,000
your customers capitalism has 
gone to the brain. 

240
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,100
Literally, it's off. 
That Roald Dahl story. 

241
00:10:08,700 --> 00:10:11,100
It's all about can see 
returning. 

242
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,800
Back rewarding, rewarding those 
customers. 

243
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,900
So should we call them and let's
call them clients? 

244
00:10:16,900 --> 00:10:18,000
Isn't that better? 
That's what they do. 

245
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,400
Isn't it in the in the marketing
world and not customers their 

246
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,800
clients? 
Yeah. 

247
00:10:21,900 --> 00:10:23,300
Okay. 
Can you tell the clients about 

248
00:10:23,300 --> 00:10:28,000
your week? 
That I feel that's going to be 

249
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,600
returning thing now? 
Yeah, my week absolutely fine 

250
00:10:31,100 --> 00:10:33,000
for my sins. 
I'm a Manchester United 

251
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,900
supporter and anyone who follows
football knows that it was a bit

252
00:10:35,900 --> 00:10:39,300
of a dark week and you know, 
we're talking recently again 

253
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,400
linking back as to how We let 
you know, we talked to the 

254
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,900
children, we let them know about
ourselves. 

255
00:10:43,900 --> 00:10:45,300
Try and build that personal bond
with them. 

256
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,400
Yeah, huge thing for me, very 
popular. 

257
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,200
See of a lot of children in our 
school is football. 

258
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,700
So that's something that I feel 
is a really easy win to kind of 

259
00:10:52,708 --> 00:10:54,300
get in and build those bonds 
with the children. 

260
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,500
Every single child, in this 
school knows my Manchester 

261
00:10:57,500 --> 00:10:59,400
United fan and this is where it 
does backfire. 

262
00:10:59,500 --> 00:11:03,100
Because on Monday morning, I sat
at my desk at 8:30, children, 

263
00:11:03,100 --> 00:11:07,000
start coming in and I could see 
one of my Lads outside right? 

264
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,600
Big football fan, he stopped at 
the door and obviously Tans and 

265
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,100
he'd seen Um one right? 
And I could see him because he's

266
00:11:13,100 --> 00:11:15,200
one of the first ones in and 
actually didn't come in 

267
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,900
Australia. 
I was okay, he'd walked back 

268
00:11:16,900 --> 00:11:18,800
off, right? 
Literally walked past my window 

269
00:11:18,900 --> 00:11:20,700
because when they come in, they 
walk past my window to come 

270
00:11:20,700 --> 00:11:22,700
through the door, right? 
He turned around and gone back 

271
00:11:22,700 --> 00:11:26,000
and I'll say, Okay, interesting 
couple of our people walk in 

272
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,300
streaming in and then suddenly I
see him again, but he's with 

273
00:11:29,300 --> 00:11:31,200
another lad in my class and 
they're walking in together 

274
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,500
laughing. 
And I was like, okay. 

275
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:35,300
Okay. 
You know, I know, I know that 

276
00:11:35,300 --> 00:11:37,000
you guys are football fan 
anyway. 

277
00:11:37,100 --> 00:11:40,200
So the class now has like six or
seven people in this time where 

278
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,300
he'd walk back. 
And they just walk in through 

279
00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:47,500
the door and they go seven ill 
to the Liverpool seven now. 

280
00:11:47,900 --> 00:11:50,200
But the rest of the class not 
joining in, even the ones who 

281
00:11:50,208 --> 00:11:55,000
don't know, it's just chanting 
seven now and I swear every 

282
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,500
single child of what past 
obviously I'm here for teacher, 

283
00:11:58,500 --> 00:12:01,100
I walk in the hall at lunchtime,
the FIS might be in their lunch,

284
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,500
every every single to 7 L7 now, 
that's okay. 

285
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,200
Yeah. 
Okay, nice. 

286
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,800
One every single child of what 
fast this week but I really love

287
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,500
it because Cuz they love it, you
know? 

288
00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:15,600
I mean they couldn't wait, I was
on break duty on Monday, break 

289
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,800
Duty, the whole school or out on
the playground, every two 

290
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,600
minutes. 
One of the, one of the girls I 

291
00:12:20,608 --> 00:12:22,400
taught last year came out to 
huge Arsenal fan. 

292
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,400
Should I say 7 mil? 
And I was like, oh Arsenal, good

293
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:26,700
as well. 
I kind of give you any banter 

294
00:12:26,700 --> 00:12:29,100
back. 
So that was my week whole week 

295
00:12:29,100 --> 00:12:32,500
of every single child is in two 
foot by coming up to me, just 

296
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:34,400
love it. 
I know you probably the same 

297
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:39,200
when children can find something
that they can legitimately rinse

298
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,000
you about the see not like It's 
not like something where they 

299
00:12:42,008 --> 00:12:43,500
could get in trouble, which and,
I mean, they're not, they're not

300
00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:45,100
disrespect tablet or Mick out of
you. 

301
00:12:45,300 --> 00:12:46,700
They've just about they latch 
onto it. 

302
00:12:46,700 --> 00:12:47,900
Then they let you said every 
child's. 

303
00:12:47,900 --> 00:12:49,000
Like, what? 
I can? 

304
00:12:49,100 --> 00:12:51,600
Yeah, we can say, there's a, his
expense, and it's not, we're not

305
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,000
going to trouble. 
Yeah. 

306
00:12:53,100 --> 00:12:56,400
Liverpool, you think though, 
that that genuinely that's a 

307
00:12:56,408 --> 00:12:58,000
really nice thing to teach the 
children. 

308
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,600
Like it's a really nice thing to
say. 

309
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,100
Look, we really strict in a 
school like every school. 

310
00:13:04,700 --> 00:13:07,100
You cannot be mean, you cannot 
be horrible. 

311
00:13:07,300 --> 00:13:09,700
You cannot pick on people 
bullying Zero Tolerance. 

312
00:13:10,100 --> 00:13:12,500
But just Seeing them for at your
expense. 

313
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:15,900
Almost that where that line is 
and I'm being really clear with 

314
00:13:15,900 --> 00:13:18,100
them, not being unfair with them
at all because you have these 

315
00:13:18,100 --> 00:13:21,400
really straight lines and that's
unacceptable, but I've told you 

316
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,100
this information you re can have
a joke, we can have a laugh and 

317
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,000
kind of them experimenting with 
that line and not going to 

318
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,200
harden them when maybe they do 
cross the line because you've 

319
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,700
kind of open the door for them 
and your then like shut the 

320
00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:35,400
door, a bit unfair. 
You also of modeling to them. 

321
00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:38,300
Humility as well and showing 
them that it's like how this is 

322
00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:40,800
how you take a joke by the way? 
Yes, this is how you take a 

323
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,400
joke. 
See how I'm taking this, and I'm

324
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,700
sort of giving a little bit 
back. 

325
00:13:43,700 --> 00:13:45,900
I'm not getting offended or 
upset or like, trying to be 

326
00:13:45,900 --> 00:13:49,200
nasty to you now, because you've
embarrassed me a little bit and 

327
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,100
it definitely does teach them. 
I think that, I think you're 

328
00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:53,100
right. 
This is, it's something that I 

329
00:13:53,108 --> 00:13:55,900
actively go out of my way to try
and do every year of every class

330
00:13:55,900 --> 00:13:58,600
and I'll usually almost like 
identify the children. 

331
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,900
I'm like, oh, wow, they can't 
take a joke, like they are the 

332
00:14:00,900 --> 00:14:03,900
ones that go storm off and cry 
because of something like a 

333
00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:05,500
little joke. 
And I'm like, I want to say 

334
00:14:05,500 --> 00:14:08,800
maybe she looked at me like this
and it's like, yeah. 

335
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,300
But let's think about this 
Probably that's okay and it 

336
00:14:13,300 --> 00:14:17,200
probably wasn't maybe at a 
horrible thing for her to do and

337
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,200
I've had it before especially in
the football context. 

338
00:14:19,700 --> 00:14:21,900
Someone come up to me once one 
child was really distressed. 

339
00:14:21,900 --> 00:14:24,200
I don't you know, I wasn't 
saying he's wrong, you've got to

340
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,800
make sure they're feeling so you
know understood and you say what

341
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,000
you're feeling is absolutely 
fine. 

342
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,200
Of course, of course, you'd be 
upset at this but then kind of 

343
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:32,400
just nudging them in the 
direction of. 

344
00:14:32,700 --> 00:14:35,100
Well what can you do about it? 
And is it the end of the world? 

345
00:14:35,100 --> 00:14:37,500
Because someone had said to him 
that his his football team was 

346
00:14:37,500 --> 00:14:40,200
rubbish. 
That was literally it and I, you

347
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,200
know, take a look. 
This is a I promise you, I 

348
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,200
promise you, as you grow up, if 
you're into football, people are

349
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,000
going to say a lot worse about 
your tea and then they simply 

350
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,100
their rubbish and it's just like
cool like learning where the 

351
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:54,200
line is what's acceptable and 
what you can do to actually take

352
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,500
the joke and and try it and 
twist it into something funny 

353
00:14:56,500 --> 00:14:57,800
and that everyone can laugh 
about. 

354
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,400
I don't about you, but I find 
that every year. 

355
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,800
There's always one or two 
children, maybe a couple more 

356
00:15:01,900 --> 00:15:03,800
who are just really, really, 
really bad losers, right? 

357
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,600
Like they visibly less mature 
than the other children. 

358
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,500
They haven't sort of learn that 
lesson that we're talking about 

359
00:15:08,500 --> 00:15:11,200
now that humility and they kind 
of stand out as like, oh, oh, 

360
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:12,700
okay. 
You know, you're sort of being 

361
00:15:12,700 --> 00:15:15,100
at maybe a little bit, little 
bit childish, you know, younger 

362
00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:17,200
than your age in terms of your 
reaction to this. 

363
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:22,000
And I find it's actually really 
hard not to in the moment when 

364
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,100
they're sort of like sulking 
about losing or making a bit. 

365
00:15:24,100 --> 00:15:27,400
Yes, stropping or whatever to 
kind of Pander to them and it's 

366
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,000
taken me years to learn to be a 
little bit harsh with them 

367
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,700
because I found that that does 
seem to work better need to 

368
00:15:33,700 --> 00:15:35,400
teach them a lesson. 
I'm just, I just call them out 

369
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,700
but no, no, you're just, you're 
being a really bad loser right 

370
00:15:37,700 --> 00:15:41,000
now and it's, you know, you're 
making it ever seen your makeup.

371
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,000
Make yourself a look at. 
Look a little bit silly in front

372
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,400
of everyone. 
You lost the game. 

373
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,400
You need to get over it and then
ignored absolutely just just 

374
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,100
move on. 
It's like the I think those 

375
00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:52,600
children perhaps through no 
fault of anyone because I would 

376
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,800
have done it as well. 
Have been pounded to know that 

377
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,500
they'll do that. 
Then someone got no, don't worry

378
00:15:56,500 --> 00:15:58,300
little play again, we'll play 
another round of. 

379
00:15:58,300 --> 00:16:00,700
Maybe you'll win that one and 
then go out of our way to make 

380
00:16:00,700 --> 00:16:02,200
them win and then they let them.
Yeah. 

381
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,100
It's but they and actually 
sometimes they don't they don't 

382
00:16:05,100 --> 00:16:08,500
win the next game and it's worse
this backfires, right? 

383
00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:11,000
And and you know what? 
I'm going to jump on what you're

384
00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:13,500
in there because it's something 
that really frustrates me about 

385
00:16:13,500 --> 00:16:15,400
people who do not work in 
schools. 

386
00:16:15,900 --> 00:16:19,400
The kind of people who say, ah, 
kids these days, there's no 

387
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,900
losers. 
They all win at they, sheriff in

388
00:16:21,900 --> 00:16:24,900
sports, they are no winners. 
And look, I know there are 

389
00:16:24,900 --> 00:16:26,500
stories of that happening, 
right? 

390
00:16:26,700 --> 00:16:29,200
But it's just not true. 
There are winners and losers 

391
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,500
constantly in school. 
Friday celebration assembly is 

392
00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:36,200
all about who wins trophies, who
wins tournaments, how we lost 

393
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,500
the other schools and we came 
second how we lost in the 

394
00:16:38,500 --> 00:16:41,300
quarterfinals. 
How actually these children One,

395
00:16:41,300 --> 00:16:43,000
the cross-country race. 
Let's give them a round of 

396
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,200
applause and then let's give a 
separate Round of Applause for 

397
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,700
everyone who took part. 
It's actually not really 

398
00:16:47,700 --> 00:16:50,000
ingrained in the culture that we
don't have winners and losers 

399
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,300
and I think people kind of just 
read it in the press and I 

400
00:16:53,300 --> 00:16:56,000
snowflake generation they can't 
have winners or losers. 

401
00:16:56,700 --> 00:16:58,400
What? 
Actually, you know, a lot of the

402
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,900
time there are and children like
you're saying we recognize, it's

403
00:17:02,900 --> 00:17:05,200
bad to not lose. 
If you go through your whole 

404
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,000
childhood not losing, you're 
going to become a bad loser. 

405
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,599
And I think yeah, one thing that
we're stuck with me was When I 

406
00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:14,500
was younger, I was definitely 
that bad loser 100%. 

407
00:17:14,500 --> 00:17:16,900
That was me, right? 
Because I was ultra competitive,

408
00:17:17,300 --> 00:17:20,599
and I think as you get older, if
you're not taught it, you kind 

409
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:23,900
of have to teach yourself that. 
Actually, you're the annoying 

410
00:17:23,900 --> 00:17:25,700
one, it no one wants to play 
with you anymore. 

411
00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:26,900
No one wants to play against 
you. 

412
00:17:26,900 --> 00:17:30,500
If you win and you're happy and 
you gloat and then you lose and 

413
00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:32,800
you moan and you complain. 
Someone will speak into Middle 

414
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,100
School. 
It was early on in my career. 

415
00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:35,500
As you know, when there's the 
kind of lessons come in and you 

416
00:17:35,500 --> 00:17:37,000
just remember the Mueller. 
I never thought about that 

417
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,700
before, absolutely. 
And it's that classic thing of 

418
00:17:39,700 --> 00:17:42,000
like, maybe it was Sports are 
something. 

419
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,900
We had to pick some children to 
take part in this competition 

420
00:17:44,900 --> 00:17:47,500
and my natural go to. 
As I ought don't just pick all 

421
00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:49,300
the sporty. 
Kids, try to be more fair and 

422
00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:51,400
like pick a more a fair 
selection, right? 

423
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:52,600
I think, you know, I'm going to 
say, don't you? 

424
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:53,900
Absolutely. 
And someone was like, no, no, 

425
00:17:53,900 --> 00:17:57,400
no, here--like, know pick your 
sporty, kids are like because 

426
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,800
there are 12 other competitions 
going on this term for all of 

427
00:18:00,808 --> 00:18:03,100
the different academic things 
and stuff in school, and 

428
00:18:03,100 --> 00:18:05,700
celebrations assemblies, and 
quite often, and we're sort of 

429
00:18:05,708 --> 00:18:08,200
playing on stereo types here. 
But they were saying quite often

430
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,000
those sported children, the ones
that are really into that sport.

431
00:18:11,100 --> 00:18:12,300
Port. 
That's their only passion and 

432
00:18:12,300 --> 00:18:13,700
they don't really like math. 
So they don't really like 

433
00:18:13,700 --> 00:18:14,900
English. 
Obviously, that's not always the

434
00:18:14,900 --> 00:18:17,400
case, but it is sometimes and 
they were like, so don't don't 

435
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,000
deprive them of potentially, the
only chance they're going to get

436
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,000
to win something because you're 
too worried about the way it 

437
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,500
looks. 
You know, you're too old. 

438
00:18:24,500 --> 00:18:27,100
But that child maybe has, you 
know, I don't want it to look 

439
00:18:27,100 --> 00:18:28,300
like. 
I'm just favoring the ones that 

440
00:18:28,300 --> 00:18:30,500
are into sports. 
I know do pick them because 

441
00:18:30,500 --> 00:18:32,600
that's what it's for like you. 
They want to go and compete in 

442
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,200
this thing and that's what 
they're good at. 

443
00:18:34,300 --> 00:18:37,600
And I remember this vividly 
because that teacher was the Art

444
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,900
Expert school and she made that 
exact point about. 

445
00:18:41,100 --> 00:18:43,700
Right, because she said, we're 
doing an art competition this 

446
00:18:43,700 --> 00:18:47,300
time and all the artists will be
celebrated and the ones who 

447
00:18:47,300 --> 00:18:49,000
aren't these. 
Unbelievable piece of art, 

448
00:18:49,100 --> 00:18:50,800
they'll be the ones at the 
front, who gets shown off 

449
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,500
because they're unbelievable 
artists who've done this amazing

450
00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:54,200
work. 
Yeah. 

451
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,700
And the children, who like you 
just said her a sporty who maybe

452
00:18:57,700 --> 00:18:59,200
aren't bothered aren't 
interested. 

453
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,400
Don't enter that competition. 
Suddenly when it like you said 

454
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,400
when it becomes sports day, 
maybe they're just, you know, 

455
00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:08,000
they're frustrated because now 
this is where I excel and this 

456
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,600
is where actually we should let 
those children Excel. 

457
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,400
And let everyone else see what 
excellence in something looks 

458
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,500
like and join in. 
It's not either or it can be 

459
00:19:17,500 --> 00:19:19,100
both right. 
Yeah, definitely. 

460
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:21,600
Rather than taking away from 
them and just showing them that 

461
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:22,700
site. 
No, it's not about how good you 

462
00:19:22,700 --> 00:19:24,100
are. 
It's about making everyone feel 

463
00:19:24,100 --> 00:19:25,800
good. 
So we've put you up here with 

464
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,200
these other children who have no
interest in the sport just to 

465
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,200
look good. 
Yeah, is actually I think? 

466
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,300
Yeah, they were right. 
It was a good lesson to learn, 

467
00:19:33,100 --> 00:19:35,300
it was really good. 
I love those lessons because I 

468
00:19:35,300 --> 00:19:37,500
still draw in the mirror and I 
bet every teacher does that 

469
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,000
those those teachers who really 
in their early stage of their 

470
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,500
career. 
Molded the kind of teach they 

471
00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:45,000
are because well, you know, 
whether you like to think it or 

472
00:19:45,008 --> 00:19:47,100
not. 
And I like to say it's all the 

473
00:19:47,100 --> 00:19:49,200
time. 
My student teacher as a student,

474
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,700
when I went into a school to 
train for my first year, still 

475
00:19:53,700 --> 00:19:56,500
good friends with this person 
and you're good friends with her

476
00:19:56,500 --> 00:19:59,800
as well. 
She I walked in and I was in all

477
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,300
I was in awe of her teaching and
I remember thinking to myself 

478
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,800
like after I even half a day of 
someone who's never been in a 

479
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,000
classroom before I thought to 
myself. 

480
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,900
Cool. 
I'm just going to copy her. 

481
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,000
Her. 
Because she does everything. 

482
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,700
Exact she's happy. 
She's lovely with the children. 

483
00:20:16,700 --> 00:20:19,100
She's patient. 
She doesn't shout. 

484
00:20:19,100 --> 00:20:21,300
She listens to them. 
She's firm. 

485
00:20:21,300 --> 00:20:26,300
She's strict and fair and she 
was just helped me so much that 

486
00:20:26,300 --> 00:20:28,800
I always tell her. 
Now, I say, you know, you are 

487
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,600
me, like you are what I want to 
be as a teacher and that's what 

488
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:37,600
I've made my cell phone. 
I think I learned 99.9 percent 

489
00:20:37,900 --> 00:20:40,300
of everything that it means to 
be a teacher and all of my 

490
00:20:40,300 --> 00:20:44,300
teaching skills. 
When I got the job and, you 

491
00:20:44,308 --> 00:20:46,300
know, that might sound like, I'm
just saying, I wouldn't work 

492
00:20:46,300 --> 00:20:49,100
very hard in my training here, 
but genuinely know, it's just 

493
00:20:49,100 --> 00:20:51,300
something else, isn't it having 
your own class? 

494
00:20:51,300 --> 00:20:54,500
And suddenly it really is your 
responsibility and not kind of 

495
00:20:54,500 --> 00:20:56,800
right, you know, not doing 
essays and and having to go to 

496
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,300
university every now and then or
whatever your course is, I just 

497
00:21:00,300 --> 00:21:03,500
yeah, I look back and I'm like, 
oh man, no, my pgce here my 

498
00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:05,800
training year that was great. 
It gave me all the pedagogy in 

499
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:06,900
the foundation and the 
knowledge. 

500
00:21:06,900 --> 00:21:09,400
Sure. 
But that Inky tear that first 

501
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:10,900
year my what would be an easy 
two? 

502
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,800
Here. 
Now, that's where I learned, 

503
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,900
everything. 
Absolutely, everything from 

504
00:21:14,900 --> 00:21:17,600
stuff like that. 
Seeing other people, how many, 

505
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,000
and how many weeks I'm going to 
ask you a strange question here.

506
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,600
Like hypothetical. 
Okay, so you did a one year 

507
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,900
course to learn how to become a 
teacher at University, right? 

508
00:21:24,900 --> 00:21:27,100
Yeah. 
How many weeks into the job? 

509
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,300
Did you feel like you learned 
more than what you did? 

510
00:21:29,300 --> 00:21:32,100
The whole year before I reckon 
with, in a month? 

511
00:21:32,300 --> 00:21:33,700
So if you all week time. 
Ugly. 

512
00:21:33,700 --> 00:21:34,300
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

513
00:21:34,300 --> 00:21:36,900
The first time the first, yeah, 
let's call it a turn to be safe.

514
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:37,800
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

515
00:21:37,900 --> 00:21:40,200
And I think that just goes to 
show what you're saying, and I 

516
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,500
think most people have the Same 
thing there is no replacement 

517
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:45,700
for doing the job. 
And I think, if you're what you 

518
00:21:45,700 --> 00:21:48,100
need to have before going into 
your first year is probably 

519
00:21:48,300 --> 00:21:51,500
really strong subject, knowledge
in like the basics in the 

520
00:21:51,500 --> 00:21:53,800
foundation's. 
You never going to know the ins 

521
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,700
and outs of ancient Egypt before
you start, because you might be 

522
00:21:56,700 --> 00:21:58,200
teaching them. 
I know you might be teaching HD,

523
00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,300
you might be teaching about 
rivers. 

524
00:21:59,300 --> 00:22:01,800
You might be teaching about, you
know, whatever it is that, 

525
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,200
you've got specific to your 
curriculum. 

526
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,900
In the afternoon, you don't need
to be a master at that but the 

527
00:22:05,900 --> 00:22:08,600
basic English and maths 
curriculum and science. 

528
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,300
I'd say Feel strong at that. 
Cool. 

529
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:14,600
That's that's almost and you 
know your basic pedagogy that's 

530
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,700
almost all you're going to need 
before you start, isn't it? 

531
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,100
I didn't know what I was doing 
when I started. 

532
00:22:19,100 --> 00:22:20,800
I'm not you know I'm not afraid 
to admit it because I think a 

533
00:22:20,808 --> 00:22:23,000
lot of people feel like that and
they don't want to admit it 

534
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,800
because we all know we have to 
pretend, we know everything. 

535
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,800
I I didn't have the foggiest 
clue what I was doing when I 

536
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,800
started. 
And I let you said that first 

537
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,800
term, I just learned everything.
I learnt everything. 

538
00:22:33,100 --> 00:22:35,600
And, you know, I look back, and 
it's funny because I was super 

539
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,200
worried about it or and I look 
back on that. 

540
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,500
Know we were, we were all there.
We were all there. 

541
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,100
Are some are people, you know, 
some are more confident than 

542
00:22:41,100 --> 00:22:42,700
others. 
It's just natural, but I can 

543
00:22:42,700 --> 00:22:44,700
confidently say, I was on. 
I was on the bottom end of that 

544
00:22:44,700 --> 00:22:46,600
Spectrum. 
I did not know what I was doing 

545
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,500
and I picked up on the job and 
it didn't take long to put all 

546
00:22:49,500 --> 00:22:52,200
of that training into practice 
and make it make sense, but it 

547
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,400
was together and how invaluable 
just on this, know, how 

548
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,800
invaluable was it going and 
watching teachers, teach it was 

549
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,300
the the most valuable thing 
without it, it would have taken 

550
00:23:03,300 --> 00:23:05,900
infinitely longer, you know? 
I mean, that's where I picked it

551
00:23:05,900 --> 00:23:07,900
up. 
That's how I got good was just 

552
00:23:07,900 --> 00:23:10,300
like, you take something and 
back into your Classroom and do 

553
00:23:10,300 --> 00:23:11,800
it. 
Yeah exactly. 

554
00:23:11,900 --> 00:23:13,800
Yeah and you start to understand
because you're doing in your 

555
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,000
classroom you start to 
understand why it works or why 

556
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,600
you do it. 
It's not just in a book anymore.

557
00:23:17,700 --> 00:23:20,100
Yeah, for sure. 
And like I think what we're 

558
00:23:20,100 --> 00:23:22,400
going to have to do is I'm 
really looking forward to this 

559
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:23,600
again. 
This, we've got a whole list, 

560
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,400
but what I think we'll do a 
whole episode on, starting off 

561
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:27,700
as a teacher, maybe training. 
Yeah. 

562
00:23:27,700 --> 00:23:29,500
That's going to be our new thing
in every episode. 

563
00:23:29,500 --> 00:23:32,100
Now we'll say, we're going to do
a whole episode on something 

564
00:23:32,100 --> 00:23:35,400
else and one day you'll be an 
episode but we've got director 

565
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,000
time. 
We've got training. 

566
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,400
Yeah, you had a bunch of other 
things as well. 

567
00:23:39,500 --> 00:23:41,100
We anyway, we've got a whole 
list. 

568
00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:42,400
Yeah. 
Should we move on? 

569
00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:45,100
What I really wanted to get into
this week again hater? 

570
00:23:45,100 --> 00:23:47,500
Because like you said the list 
is a log was I wrong. 

571
00:23:47,500 --> 00:23:49,500
Luckily, for you guys, if you 
enjoy the podcast, we've got 

572
00:23:49,500 --> 00:23:51,200
enough content until Christmas 
25. 

573
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,600
So, you know, that's kind of 
what I wanted to talk about this

574
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,500
week was something that's really
specific to us, I suppose. 

575
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,400
But that I am really passionate 
about talking to other people 

576
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:06,500
about and it is surrounding 
basically, our careers, our 

577
00:24:06,500 --> 00:24:09,100
careers have gone on very 
similar paths and how we've 

578
00:24:09,100 --> 00:24:12,400
ended up Right now, both of us, 
we work part-time in school. 

579
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,500
We do three, four days a week. 
It's been a long journey to get 

580
00:24:15,500 --> 00:24:18,400
there. 
What we want to do is talk 

581
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,200
about, you know, the pros and 
cons of going part-time. 

582
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,900
But to give a real context of 
how we got there. 

583
00:24:23,900 --> 00:24:27,000
Because we did start as 
full-time teachers and we were 

584
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,100
in that almost honeymoon, phase 
of being a newly qualified 

585
00:24:30,100 --> 00:24:31,800
teacher. 
Absolutely loving the job. 

586
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,700
And we just wanted to give the 
context of our business that we 

587
00:24:35,700 --> 00:24:38,500
have outside as well, and how 
they kind of the to Interlink. 

588
00:24:38,500 --> 00:24:43,100
And and just Yeah, talk to you 
guys about how, you know, the 

589
00:24:43,100 --> 00:24:48,900
job is stressful and how we over
time have come to a kind of 

590
00:24:48,900 --> 00:24:51,800
conclusion that it's all about 
balance and it's ended up just 

591
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,800
being free. 
But we've you know, we've been 

592
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,300
on that journey of thinking 
about distress journey and time,

593
00:24:57,300 --> 00:24:58,400
right? 
Well I think we've been at the 

594
00:24:58,408 --> 00:24:59,500
bottom. 
We've been in the top you know? 

595
00:24:59,900 --> 00:25:01,000
And I think that's part of the 
story. 

596
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,800
Do you mind if I jump in and 
talk about, go go for past a 

597
00:25:03,808 --> 00:25:05,000
bit. 
So you'll probably notice, guys,

598
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,500
there's a little logo in the 
bottom left of our of our 

599
00:25:08,500 --> 00:25:11,700
podcast. 
That called picture our icon and

600
00:25:11,700 --> 00:25:14,900
that is typically picture mate. 
The thing. 

601
00:25:14,900 --> 00:25:19,300
What's the word thumbnails? 
One more, the things that thing 

602
00:25:19,300 --> 00:25:21,500
that we've made like five 
thousand dollars on YouTube 

603
00:25:21,500 --> 00:25:22,400
thumbnails. 
That's the one. 

604
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,500
Yeah. 
So but so back in Arkham is 

605
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:26,600
obviously about the honeymoon. 
Period. 

606
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:27,100
Absolutely. 
Right. 

607
00:25:27,100 --> 00:25:29,900
Where we were just like every 
part of our life was teaching 

608
00:25:29,900 --> 00:25:32,900
and it was just it's something 
else we loved it and we yeah 

609
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,400
yeah yeah, it's but is 
everything. 

610
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,800
You know, you're hot, you're 
consumed by it because we're so 

611
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,600
passionate so into it. 
We didn't do anything but think 

612
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,600
about it. 
And obviously the best part of 

613
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,700
teaching is as we've always 
said, being in front of the 

614
00:25:43,700 --> 00:25:47,200
kids, like, we love being in 
classrooms, but it didn't take 

615
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,400
too long. 
I'd say year or two to realize 

616
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,400
that teaching is a lot more to 
it and, you know, I won't go 

617
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,000
into the details because we have
talked about in previous 

618
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,900
episode, but to summarize, there
is a ton of admin. 

619
00:25:58,100 --> 00:25:59,600
There's a lot of marketing, 
there's a lot of planning. 

620
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,900
There's a lot of other stuff 
that goes around teaching and we

621
00:26:01,900 --> 00:26:03,600
were like, ha, well, this bit 
sucks. 

622
00:26:03,700 --> 00:26:05,800
Yeah, this is none of these. 
Like that's not the good bit. 

623
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,700
This is the business that we do.
We just have to do. 

624
00:26:07,700 --> 00:26:09,700
Can I jump on that really 
quickly and make another Point 

625
00:26:09,700 --> 00:26:12,000
on that because it's linked to 
that and like you're saying 

626
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,400
about the admin sucks and stuff.
What we also noticed was a maybe

627
00:26:15,500 --> 00:26:18,500
you guys on the ladder of the 
main pace car, feel this, we 

628
00:26:18,500 --> 00:26:22,200
kind of knew already where we'd 
be in five years so after one or

629
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,000
two years of teaching you know 
we could look at the pay ladder,

630
00:26:25,100 --> 00:26:28,100
the stagnating pay ladder at the
time with 10 percent increase. 

631
00:26:28,100 --> 00:26:32,800
And you know we could see that 
in 2025 whatever it was we're 

632
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,500
going to be an x amount of money
doing this many hours still and 

633
00:26:36,500 --> 00:26:38,700
watching house prices completely
outrun that. 

634
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,100
And and just notice that we're 
getting further and further away

635
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:42,600
from being able to afford our 
own place. 

636
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,100
We wanted to get on the ladder 
quickly as soon as possible. 

637
00:26:45,500 --> 00:26:49,400
And the only way to do that 
really was to try and become an 

638
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,500
assistant head or ahead in that 
time which wasn't realistic 

639
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:56,000
after 23 years of teaching and 
plow our whole lives into it or 

640
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,200
come up with another way of 
trying to make some money, 

641
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,100
that's time. 
Efficient and like Hayden carry 

642
00:27:00,100 --> 00:27:02,200
on saying now is the part of the
job with up. 

643
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,200
So I'll jump straight to what we
did. 

644
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,100
You know, we got into tutoring 
as a lot of teachers do and it 

645
00:27:07,100 --> 00:27:09,300
was I remember I still have a 
vivid memory of walking down a 

646
00:27:09,300 --> 00:27:11,600
corridor Go with you and just 
talking about how I always had 

647
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,200
this idea I've always been into 
business anyway and I like the 

648
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,000
idea of running making something
and I was like, I want to do 

649
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,500
something with tutoring. 
I want to make like a tutoring 

650
00:27:19,500 --> 00:27:21,400
business. 
I remember talking to you and 

651
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,400
you were we we were fed not new 
friends at this time, but we 

652
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,100
were only like a one or two 
years into our kind of 

653
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,300
friendship. 
And you think about the fact 

654
00:27:28,300 --> 00:27:30,500
that, you know, it was only 
through working in the same 

655
00:27:30,500 --> 00:27:32,800
school that we kind of became 
closer friends I suppose. 

656
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,500
Yeah just acquaintances and your
response was very much in line 

657
00:27:36,500 --> 00:27:38,500
with like what I was thinking 
and I was like oh that's cool. 

658
00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:40,500
You know we're very much. 
On the same, wavelength here of 

659
00:27:40,500 --> 00:27:42,400
this kind of passion to make 
something else. 

660
00:27:43,300 --> 00:27:44,700
And that's, that's kind of where
it was. 

661
00:27:44,900 --> 00:27:46,900
The idea was born and it just 
progressed from there. 

662
00:27:46,900 --> 00:27:49,700
And one day we spent all this 
time dreaming and talked about 

663
00:27:49,700 --> 00:27:51,800
yet, we should do a business. 
We could, we could start 

664
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,600
tutoring, we could do this, we 
could do that. 

665
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,400
I think I'm like, people can 
resonate with that by the way. 

666
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,300
The idea of, you know, a lot of 
people do think they go, oh, we 

667
00:27:58,300 --> 00:28:01,900
can do this or that. 
And and, and it's all about kind

668
00:28:01,900 --> 00:28:03,700
of just trying, it just doing 
it. 

669
00:28:03,900 --> 00:28:05,600
Yeah. 
And that's what you did. 

670
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,600
We did the classic thing. 
We talked about it. 

671
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,300
A lot, as most of us, We talked 
about it but never do it because

672
00:28:11,300 --> 00:28:13,600
it's a lot to do and you were 
like, let's just do it. 

673
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,400
Mmm, I remember. 
Sounds like, yeah, we should. 

674
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,500
We should do not know. 
Like literally, let's like let's

675
00:28:17,500 --> 00:28:18,800
literally make a business right 
now. 

676
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,300
Let's go on companies house. 
The government website and just 

677
00:28:21,300 --> 00:28:24,100
make it absolutely name. 
We do. 

678
00:28:24,100 --> 00:28:27,200
I remember, we went to your 
house that evening like you said

679
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,100
just taking that first plunge, 
right? 

680
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,500
That's what started this 
business off because we could 

681
00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:34,400
have really easily just not done
that but it took us about 10 

682
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,300
minutes. 
We thought of the name, think 

683
00:28:36,300 --> 00:28:39,300
honestly, that's why it's top 
the Lutheran as you can see. 

684
00:28:43,100 --> 00:28:47,300
What was the name for someone is
good at something or what we 

685
00:28:47,308 --> 00:28:49,400
did, what we doing? 
All right. 

686
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,200
I know, I know that you're 
thinking of a Funny Story. 

687
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:53,900
We can tell you later about our 
name, but we'll come back to 

688
00:28:53,900 --> 00:28:56,600
that point later model here. 
This is a hilarious story about 

689
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:57,900
our name, but we'll come back to
it. 

690
00:28:58,600 --> 00:28:59,800
So yeah, we start, we start our 
company. 

691
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,000
We started, we were super 
buzzing because we love teaching

692
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,400
and we were like, Hey, what how 
can we do this thing? 

693
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,500
Where we only teach were like, 
let's make our own Tutoring 

694
00:29:06,500 --> 00:29:08,800
company and then we can 
literally teach and it's going 

695
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:13,400
to be sunny All this admin body 
has down from the top down SLT. 

696
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,800
Making up the wait a minute. 
We are SL, T, omorrow business. 

697
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,100
We, yeah, we did it. 
So, you know, being passionate 

698
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,200
and a bit younger than we 
didn't, we didn't have our own 

699
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:22,800
houses and stuff. 
We would still work on that. 

700
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,600
We were really, really driven to
do this thing. 

701
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,300
And like you said, we're at the 
bottom of the ladder. 

702
00:29:26,300 --> 00:29:28,500
We want we needed more money. 
If we were ever going to have 

703
00:29:28,500 --> 00:29:32,100
any chance of getting on the 
just for a context, very 

704
00:29:32,100 --> 00:29:36,200
quickly. 
Our annual salary was about, I 

705
00:29:36,208 --> 00:29:38,900
think we worked out the time. 
It was 12 times less than the 

706
00:29:38,900 --> 00:29:41,600
average. 
Price in our area, 12 times 

707
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:42,700
less. 
You think about a mortgage is 

708
00:29:42,700 --> 00:29:45,600
four and a half five times. 
We had no chance and we needed 

709
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,800
the 10% deposit. 
Yeah, exactly. 

710
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,500
So there's a lot of driving 
forces here and obviously, 

711
00:29:50,500 --> 00:29:52,500
bounced off our passion as well 
for teaching. 

712
00:29:52,500 --> 00:29:54,600
So it's just everything was just
in going in the right direction 

713
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,100
for us here. 
So, we did it. 

714
00:29:56,108 --> 00:29:57,800
We made it. 
We made a Tutoring company and 

715
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,000
it was on top of our full-time 
jobs and that's important 

716
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,100
context. 
Because actually that, you know,

717
00:30:02,100 --> 00:30:04,200
that that is enough to put off a
lot of people, it's an 

718
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,600
exhausting job as it is. 
So we started building this this

719
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,000
company but it was mainly on our
Cans. 

720
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,300
And it was our, it quickly 
consumed kind of every evening 

721
00:30:13,300 --> 00:30:15,400
as well and started eating into 
our actual time. 

722
00:30:15,500 --> 00:30:18,300
And I think the big thing Point 
here to make is that we fully 

723
00:30:18,300 --> 00:30:19,900
understand that no difference in
that position. 

724
00:30:20,100 --> 00:30:22,100
If you think about people with 
families that it's just 

725
00:30:22,100 --> 00:30:22,700
impossible. 
Yeah. 

726
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,600
If you think about people, you 
know, caring do to, you know, we

727
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,800
very much took advantage of the 
fact we were in our young 20s 

728
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,700
living at home. 
Yeah, we could just plow our 

729
00:30:32,700 --> 00:30:35,000
time into it. 
So we're not saying, hey, why 

730
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,800
doesn't everyone just do this 
because there's nothing more 

731
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,300
annoying than when business 
owners. 

732
00:30:38,300 --> 00:30:41,000
Say, why don't you? 
Just do 70 hour weeks all the 

733
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,700
time because no one's did you 
see some like it some diary from

734
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:49,700
a some CEO that's a pocket void 
the name as I also say the name?

735
00:30:49,900 --> 00:30:51,800
Yeah I was thinking you know, 
just a book or anyone, you know.

736
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,800
And they're like, yeah, I send 
you look into the history and 

737
00:30:53,808 --> 00:30:57,100
it's like yeah. 
Millionaire parents would just 

738
00:30:57,100 --> 00:30:58,700
give they just given the time 
and money to do it. 

739
00:30:58,700 --> 00:31:00,400
But we, you know, we are 
recognize our own privilege, 

740
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,400
that's for sure. 
We were really privileged to be 

741
00:31:02,700 --> 00:31:04,100
living at home. 
Still at the time, we had that 

742
00:31:04,100 --> 00:31:05,900
free time, we didn't have a 
family to look after all this 

743
00:31:05,900 --> 00:31:07,800
stuff. 
But yeah, we jumped on it and 

744
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,000
but it was stressful still, I'm 
not going to Like oh yeah, it 

745
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,800
was just it was just, you know 
it was a Dream from then on it 

746
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,600
was easy. 
It was very, very time-consuming

747
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,700
and it absolutely 8 into our 
personal lives. 

748
00:31:16,700 --> 00:31:20,200
I think it kind of accelerated 
our thoughts towards, you know, 

749
00:31:20,300 --> 00:31:22,100
thinking that teaching is not 
long term. 

750
00:31:22,500 --> 00:31:23,700
Yeah, it's kind of depressing, 
isn't it? 

751
00:31:23,700 --> 00:31:25,600
But it's something that a lot of
people. 

752
00:31:25,900 --> 00:31:28,400
A lot of people agree with. 
I think teaching is not long 

753
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:29,500
time. 
When and usually, when I ask 

754
00:31:29,500 --> 00:31:32,600
someone directly will be 
teaching at 65, you know, I'm 

755
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,100
talking to people they're like 
in their 30s and they look at me

756
00:31:35,100 --> 00:31:37,300
as if like that, obviously 
you're joking, of course, I 

757
00:31:37,300 --> 00:31:39,700
won't be, they then they usually
say things, That I won't be 

758
00:31:39,700 --> 00:31:41,400
doing this in 10 years. 
There's no way it's a burned-out

759
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:42,700
job. 
I did, you know what, someone 

760
00:31:42,700 --> 00:31:45,800
said to me once was, I asked 
that same question because I 

761
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,600
always find it really 
interesting, because I've 

762
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,800
genuinely never heard someone 
say yes, right? 

763
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,100
So, that's crazy to me. 
Like what a situation for a job 

764
00:31:53,100 --> 00:31:58,400
to be in and it really hit me 
when they said, no, no, you look

765
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,300
worse. 
Come, you know, if I have to 

766
00:32:00,300 --> 00:32:04,500
take a job, I'll just, I'll just
go and work in a shop like that.

767
00:32:04,500 --> 00:32:05,500
I'll just go and work in the 
shop. 

768
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,200
Obviously, I worked in as the 
absolute Saints, working, 

769
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:09,700
though. 
Ups. 

770
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,900
But the idea of a teacher with 
such a skilled, like set of 

771
00:32:13,900 --> 00:32:15,500
three precise, isn't it being a 
teacher? 

772
00:32:15,500 --> 00:32:19,200
It's a very, you know, a certain
set of skills saying that they 

773
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,000
don't want to continue using 
them because the job is, so 

774
00:32:22,100 --> 00:32:25,100
toxic to them in the long term 
and burns them out that they 

775
00:32:25,100 --> 00:32:27,300
want a job, that's different 
somewhere else where they don't 

776
00:32:27,300 --> 00:32:28,700
have to have those out of whack 
stresses. 

777
00:32:28,700 --> 00:32:31,800
They want to go home and that's 
the end of their job and we 

778
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,700
definitely recognize that. 
I think we were very observant. 

779
00:32:34,700 --> 00:32:36,500
We listen to a lot of other 
people, and we get to see that 

780
00:32:36,500 --> 00:32:38,100
future. 
Like you said, we saw our paper 

781
00:32:38,100 --> 00:32:40,700
aggression. 
And we were like, oh, okay. 

782
00:32:40,700 --> 00:32:44,800
So that's kind of it in a few 
years time and no one seems to 

783
00:32:44,808 --> 00:32:45,900
be lasting in the career 
forever. 

784
00:32:45,900 --> 00:32:48,600
Anyway, so we kind of need a 
kind of need another way out of 

785
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,000
this Rat Race for ourselves, and
that's kind of, you know, 

786
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,400
there's all these factors that 
were born into into the into the

787
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,400
kind of Tutoring company, but 
that was five years ago. 

788
00:32:57,700 --> 00:33:01,000
So, we've built this company 
over five years and the first 

789
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,600
three and a half, almost four 
years of that time. 

790
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,100
We were building that company on
top of our full-time teaching 

791
00:33:08,100 --> 00:33:12,700
jobs, And I can speak for both 
of us when I say that that curve

792
00:33:12,700 --> 00:33:15,700
of kind of stress and time we 
were having to put into the 

793
00:33:15,700 --> 00:33:19,100
business as it just naturally 
grew because we were passionate 

794
00:33:19,100 --> 00:33:21,800
about it and we're very driven 
to keep growing. 

795
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,100
We didn't want to just sort of 
stopped. 

796
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,400
Yeah it it will you know we hit 
the top, didn't we? 

797
00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:29,800
It was like we can't keep doing 
this and we both had a bit of a 

798
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,000
over the summer holidays, wasn't
that we sort of had a 

799
00:33:32,500 --> 00:33:34,100
discussion. 
Remember meeting we were like 

800
00:33:34,100 --> 00:33:36,000
we're burning out. 
We are going to. 

801
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,900
If we do this for another year, 
we're going to burn out like 

802
00:33:37,900 --> 00:33:39,200
we're not as young as we were 
soul mates. 

803
00:33:39,300 --> 00:33:41,900
A seven-year-old extra. 
We're not be no, we are not in 

804
00:33:41,908 --> 00:33:44,600
that honeymoon period anymore. 
It's it we're finding and more 

805
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,800
and more stresses of this job. 
We can't do this. 

806
00:33:48,300 --> 00:33:52,200
So what do we do at that point? 
It became more and more 

807
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,500
realistic for us, still a risk. 
Okay? 

808
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,600
Because at this point, I would 
say we start to do some maths. 

809
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,800
Basically, we start to say, 
okay, you know what is the mass 

810
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,600
of going part-time? 
And this really shocked me even 

811
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,100
though I kind of knew the logic 
I kind of understood. 

812
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:08,900
What would happen if I took the 
hit? 

813
00:34:09,300 --> 00:34:11,900
I was nowhere near as bad as I 
thought it was going to be. 

814
00:34:12,199 --> 00:34:15,100
So we did some maths. 
Basically the idea of their 

815
00:34:15,100 --> 00:34:17,600
part-time contract is that we 
are work three days a week out 

816
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,900
of 5, okay? 
So where our time in school 

817
00:34:21,900 --> 00:34:25,699
reduced by 40%, which means we 
can spend days on our business, 

818
00:34:25,699 --> 00:34:27,800
which we needed to which freed 
up our weekend, which we were 

819
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,600
ending up doing it. 
And then 40% time. 

820
00:34:31,699 --> 00:34:34,699
Reduce Hayden. 
You tell them the number. 

821
00:34:34,699 --> 00:34:36,300
Yeah. 
Hey go down by. 

822
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,400
Well, I'm just going to make 
this a bit more because most 

823
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,400
people would naturally We assume
your payback or go down 40%. 

824
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,500
And that's what people do when 
they calculate it, but it 

825
00:34:43,500 --> 00:34:45,500
doesn't cause you think about 
the way tax brackets work. 

826
00:34:45,500 --> 00:34:48,400
I won't go into the details. 
We actually ended up losing from

827
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,400
our take-home pay almost 
precisely 25%. 

828
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,900
So it was like, Hang on. 
We're losing a quarter of our 

829
00:34:55,900 --> 00:34:59,600
pay. 
But gaining, 40% of our time, 

830
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:04,300
two days 255, time back. 
It was not as bad as we thought,

831
00:35:04,300 --> 00:35:05,600
right? 
Not nowhere near as bad. 

832
00:35:05,607 --> 00:35:09,300
And I think one of the biggest 
points for us at that point, was

833
00:35:09,300 --> 00:35:10,800
to look at the difference, 
right? 

834
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,700
And I would implore everyone to 
do this and I'm, well, aware, 

835
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,000
we're in the midst of a 
cost-of-living crisis. 

836
00:35:17,100 --> 00:35:20,600
I'm, well aware that we are on 
strike for are paid going up at 

837
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,700
the right level. 
So me sat here, then also 

838
00:35:22,700 --> 00:35:24,000
saying, have you thought about 
going part-time? 

839
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,900
Might be a little bit 
condescending, not the point, 

840
00:35:26,900 --> 00:35:29,500
we're trying to Make though is 
it's worth looking at the Maths 

841
00:35:29,900 --> 00:35:33,900
for your well-being and for your
time, especially number one, if 

842
00:35:33,900 --> 00:35:36,300
you have dual income in your 
house and you know, that time 

843
00:35:36,300 --> 00:35:39,000
can be used doing something else
and your partner, might learn a 

844
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,100
certain amount where your bills 
are already covered. 

845
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,700
But number two, if you are 
thinking of doing some kind of 

846
00:35:43,700 --> 00:35:46,200
side business, I'm trying to do 
something extra as well. 

847
00:35:46,500 --> 00:35:50,300
We're actually that amount of 
money, The Tipping Point for us 

848
00:35:50,300 --> 00:35:53,600
was where we were learning the 
difference and a bit extra. 

849
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,000
So we are actually from art from
our business. 

850
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,400
On the side, we could say, cool 
We can take off and take the hit

851
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,000
from our pay by actually replace
it with what we're doing with 

852
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,400
our business. 
So at no point, was this as much

853
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,700
of a risk as well? 
It might be to a lot of people. 

854
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,200
So we understand that one. 
Again, we're not here being 

855
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:10,800
these people saying we're, we 
started the business. 

856
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:12,800
Why don't you just start a 
business or go part-time? 

857
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,600
No, it's risky. 
We did minimal risk, as we could

858
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,400
because we got the business to a
point where we could replace 

859
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:22,500
that income and we've not really
looked back since have we, how's

860
00:36:22,500 --> 00:36:24,400
your well-being been Hayden? 
Because we, you know, we talked 

861
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,000
about every now and then, but 
I'm actually really interested 

862
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,300
to Just to take a moment of 
reflection now, and that for me,

863
00:36:31,900 --> 00:36:36,000
it's allowed me to fall back in 
love with teaching more than I 

864
00:36:36,008 --> 00:36:39,600
did at the point where I was 
kind of just bang out, and don't

865
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,100
get me wrong. 
Of course, we talked about the 

866
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,600
pros and cons of teaching, but 
it allowed me to really just 

867
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,700
focus on going in for three 
days, and giving quality 

868
00:36:47,900 --> 00:36:51,300
teaching, as much as I can with 
someone who isn't an exhausted 

869
00:36:51,300 --> 00:36:53,400
shell of a man. 
Yeah, it's same. 

870
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,400
Steamer for me, it's like it's 
allowed me to compartmentalize 

871
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:57,500
my time a bit. 
More. 

872
00:36:57,900 --> 00:37:01,200
Because, as, you know, like 
neither of us are particularly 

873
00:37:01,300 --> 00:37:04,800
well organized, when it comes 
to, like, compartmentalizing our

874
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,700
time normally. 
And what we were, what we'd 

875
00:37:06,700 --> 00:37:09,400
fallen into was this 
amalgamation of. 

876
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,800
We just work every hour of every
day kind of, you know, it was 

877
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,600
like get the evenings over, we 
got stuff to do it. 

878
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,700
Yeah, we kind of need to do this
and this, okay, gets the 

879
00:37:17,700 --> 00:37:19,400
weekend. 
I've got to be planning for 

880
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:20,300
that. 
Actually, we need to do some 

881
00:37:20,300 --> 00:37:23,200
stuff the business as well, and 
it was just eating our time. 

882
00:37:23,500 --> 00:37:27,900
So for me the, the well-being 
Improvement I've had is When it 

883
00:37:27,900 --> 00:37:30,200
gets to Saturday and Sunday. 
Now I know exactly what I'm 

884
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,000
doing. 
And it's usually the fact that 

885
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,800
I've done all of the business 
stuff on that on that Thursday 

886
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,800
and Friday. 
And I've managed my Monday to 

887
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,200
Wednesday is I've done the 
school staff and my weekends are

888
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,100
back to me again, which is nice 
after many, many years of not 

889
00:37:44,100 --> 00:37:46,700
really having that luxury 
anymore before our own creation.

890
00:37:46,700 --> 00:37:48,500
You know. 
Yeah and exactly that and it 

891
00:37:48,500 --> 00:37:52,200
was, you know, we played the 
long game and it and it has paid

892
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,200
off and again we're not just 
saying this. 

893
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,100
Blow is look where we've got its
a genuine conversation. 

894
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:01,000
Ation about, you know, flexible 
work and it's a big thing for 

895
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,600
people coming back from 
maternity pay maternity leave. 

896
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,200
Sorry, and it's a big thing just
in general for lifestyle. 

897
00:38:06,300 --> 00:38:07,600
We've seen in the private 
sector. 

898
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,500
I don't, you must have seen in 
the news head. 

899
00:38:09,500 --> 00:38:12,800
And they did a huge experiment 
of the four-day working week 

900
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,300
where they literally took a day 
or at the, the pay stayed the 

901
00:38:16,300 --> 00:38:18,200
same. 
Some businesses went from an 

902
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,800
eight-hour day to attend our 
day, so it was still 40 hours of

903
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,100
that makes sense. 
So for lots of 10 and 85 

904
00:38:23,500 --> 00:38:26,400
wherever they 8 times 5, so it 
was like the same hours but they

905
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:30,100
were way more productive. 
And the idea of the well-being 

906
00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:33,700
impact from having an extra full
day, it takes away from your 

907
00:38:33,700 --> 00:38:37,300
weekend. 
I hated Sunday's Sundays were 

908
00:38:37,300 --> 00:38:40,100
just a day of got a little 
planning then we'll do the 

909
00:38:40,100 --> 00:38:41,300
washing. 
Then we'll do the housework. 

910
00:38:41,300 --> 00:38:42,300
Then we do the shopping. 
Yeah. 

911
00:38:42,300 --> 00:38:44,600
It wasn't a day to yourself. 
It was it was another day of 

912
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,500
work, but just making sure the 
house was running and I know I 

913
00:38:47,500 --> 00:38:49,700
know this is another energy 
that's even like related to 

914
00:38:49,700 --> 00:38:52,500
teaching. 
I know this is true because I 

915
00:38:52,500 --> 00:38:57,000
spoke at a load of teachers now 
where some of them have part 

916
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:58,700
Sign contracts, where they work 
every morning. 

917
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,900
So, they still do five days a 
week. 

918
00:39:00,900 --> 00:39:03,500
They just finish it. 
Maybe like 12 or whatever, and I

919
00:39:03,508 --> 00:39:05,800
spoke to other people who aren't
on the same contract in terms of

920
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,600
pay. 
But like us, they will do it in 

921
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,400
days, rather than mornings. 
And they weren't three days, and

922
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,500
100 percent every single time. 
The people are, some of them 

923
00:39:13,500 --> 00:39:15,000
have done both. 
Actually their most valuable 

924
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,600
people to speak to. 
Well, they've switched across my

925
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,100
planning partner, my partner 
teacher, my job share teacher, 

926
00:39:20,100 --> 00:39:22,800
literally has done that. 
Come from five mornings and 

927
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:27,700
said, it's just so so much 
better to have an actual all day

928
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,100
of not working, even though the 
three days she does the H of the

929
00:39:30,100 --> 00:39:33,800
same but their condensed into 
three days and because when you 

930
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,200
work five, morning's, you're 
still working five days. 

931
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,900
Your days are kind of it's a 
workday, you know, it's hard to 

932
00:39:38,900 --> 00:39:40,600
be like, oh no, it's not a 
workday, it's a half workday. 

933
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,300
Well, you still work for like 
four or five hours in the 

934
00:39:43,300 --> 00:39:44,300
morning. 
The work day. 

935
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,700
If you getting up to 47 and 
having a shower, that's a 

936
00:39:46,700 --> 00:39:50,500
workday, in my opinion, not 
having a shower jebril, I mean, 

937
00:39:50,500 --> 00:39:52,500
having a shower before to hang 
on a minute Talent. 

938
00:39:52,500 --> 00:39:53,600
I'm pretty sure he never got 
before. 

939
00:39:53,600 --> 00:40:00,800
Seven and never have a shower. 
So, Okay, I'm really looking 

940
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,100
forward to this one because it 
seems like over the last few 

941
00:40:03,107 --> 00:40:05,900
episodes we've had like a new 
feature every time and they're 

942
00:40:05,900 --> 00:40:07,600
always really cool. 
And they're kind of born out of 

943
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,700
you guys sending us stories 
because I'm constantly asking 

944
00:40:10,700 --> 00:40:12,900
them on our Instagram. 
So, if you haven't heard, you're

945
00:40:12,900 --> 00:40:15,300
not there already teach sleep, 
repeat podcast, go and have a 

946
00:40:15,308 --> 00:40:17,700
look on our Instagram because 
I'm constantly asking questions 

947
00:40:18,100 --> 00:40:20,500
and I'm constantly getting 
really cool stories. 

948
00:40:20,500 --> 00:40:24,800
And we've had one message that 
kind of sparked a thought in me,

949
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,900
that has now snowboard. 
And we've got some From 

950
00:40:26,900 --> 00:40:29,400
different teachers as well and 
different people and and also 

951
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,100
just past experiences that we've
heard of, we're going to do an 

952
00:40:32,100 --> 00:40:36,300
inspection now Hayden and it's 
called Confessions of a teacher 

953
00:40:36,300 --> 00:40:38,900
and I know that you've got some 
ready as well that I haven't 

954
00:40:38,900 --> 00:40:40,800
heard. 
I've got some ready that you 

955
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,000
haven't heard and I just thought
we could bounce off each other 

956
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,400
now. 
And these are those really, 

957
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,000
really embarrassing stories that
are completely harmless. 

958
00:40:47,300 --> 00:40:51,200
But if you ever got caught, or 
if someone saw these situations,

959
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,200
you would just be horribly 
embarrassed. 

960
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,500
So, they're all the moment, of 
course, you'll have to guess 

961
00:40:55,500 --> 00:40:57,400
which ones are actually us and 
we're just Pretend they're 

962
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,400
anonymous because I do haters 
gonna have a few in there. 

963
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,200
That's really him so I thought 
we get started. 

964
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:04,300
We're going to go back and forth
here. 

965
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,600
I'm going to read them out and 
we're just gonna blind react to 

966
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:07,300
each other's. 
Okay. 

967
00:41:07,700 --> 00:41:08,700
All right, go for it. 
Okay. 

968
00:41:08,700 --> 00:41:12,500
Number one, I want sat down on 
my teaching chair during 

969
00:41:12,500 --> 00:41:18,100
teaching time. 
That's a joke that's like this. 

970
00:41:18,100 --> 00:41:20,300
And we're gonna you are just 
seeing how to react the last. 

971
00:41:22,500 --> 00:41:24,300
Wow, our customers are going to 
love that. 

972
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:31,700
Oh my God, it's so embarrassing.
Ha ha ha. 

973
00:41:31,700 --> 00:41:33,700
Gavin will eat some Court Beach,
sitting down. 

974
00:41:33,700 --> 00:41:36,700
I'm so lazy, right. 
Okay. 

975
00:41:36,700 --> 00:41:41,500
Well first it got going on. 
I once our God, I once went for 

976
00:41:41,500 --> 00:41:44,800
terms from Christmas and to the 
end of the year without once 

977
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:55,500
looking or marking at the 
afternoon, work of my class how 

978
00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:01,300
You know how, you know how Dylan
because people are just so busy 

979
00:42:01,300 --> 00:42:04,500
marking English and math. 
So they're like no, no, no, no. 

980
00:42:04,500 --> 00:42:07,800
I'm you know, I'm not saying how
is this guy done that? 

981
00:42:08,100 --> 00:42:10,200
I'm saying, how is he got away 
of it or she? 

982
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:11,400
Oh, I see. 
I was just trying to put our 

983
00:42:11,408 --> 00:42:12,900
house. 
How could he not Mark? 

984
00:42:12,900 --> 00:42:14,100
I was no. 
Why why? 

985
00:42:14,100 --> 00:42:16,700
No no completely. 
There's nothing more 

986
00:42:16,700 --> 00:42:18,400
demoralizing. 
This sat down in the day and 

987
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,100
seeing a mass part and an 
English part and a topic file. 

988
00:42:21,700 --> 00:42:22,800
But I just don't understand 
what. 

989
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,800
Yeah, because of it depends. 
What school year, I guess, I 

990
00:42:25,808 --> 00:42:28,000
thought I've just thought most 
schools do not think that books 

991
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,200
and stuff as for total area, 
which was there. 

992
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,400
And it was just like it was said
in a proud way as well. 

993
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,200
It was said in the proud way, to
me, just clarify quickly, it's 

994
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:37,900
not mine. 
It was listing. 

995
00:42:39,300 --> 00:42:41,800
Anyone's listening to Sade a 
little light, which there could 

996
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,000
be. 
Well, this one's, this is funny 

997
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:46,300
because you've not seen this 
confession. 

998
00:42:46,300 --> 00:42:48,700
I've got, and it's hilariously 
related and I'm not gonna lie. 

999
00:42:48,900 --> 00:42:51,400
Gotta one up your story. 
So, you know, I got someone like

1000
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,900
this in marking, it primary is 
ridiculous. 

1001
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,800
I'm glad they started with that.
Clearly listen to your girls. 

1002
00:42:56,900 --> 00:42:59,000
Hours upon hours every day. 
Looking through children's work 

1003
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,500
just to do it all again. 
The next day, one time in my 

1004
00:43:01,500 --> 00:43:05,100
first two years of teaching as a
little win for my own sanity and

1005
00:43:05,100 --> 00:43:07,900
personal time. 
I managed not to Mark by our 

1006
00:43:07,900 --> 00:43:14,200
ebooks, for two years before 
anyone noticed, and I just 

1007
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,700
pretended that I thought it was 
policy not to question their 

1008
00:43:17,700 --> 00:43:22,000
thoughts and beliefs rubbish. 
Excuse got away with it. 

1009
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,500
Got a way of a simple you're an 
idiot. 

1010
00:43:23,500 --> 00:43:27,200
Look from the piers That's 
unreal. 

1011
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,000
That is unreal. 
What a line to come out with 

1012
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,100
like on the cuff like to I 
thought was wrong as if as if 

1013
00:43:33,100 --> 00:43:36,900
also, we don't only teach like 
we re isn't just, what do you 

1014
00:43:36,900 --> 00:43:38,900
think every week? 
And they write down their 

1015
00:43:38,900 --> 00:43:40,400
thoughts. 
We learn about different ways. 

1016
00:43:40,500 --> 00:43:42,100
Yeah. 
So my class, actually, they swap

1017
00:43:42,100 --> 00:43:46,400
religions every time. 
And I don't know if it's all 

1018
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,200
about their beliefs and 
actually, I don't, I don't think

1019
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,200
it's right to right now books, 
because it looks like I'm 

1020
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,600
questioning them. 
You just imagine some terrible, 

1021
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,900
excuse to get away of it. 
So there you go. 

1022
00:43:54,900 --> 00:43:56,900
That's very funny. 
That is It's like basically the 

1023
00:43:56,900 --> 00:43:58,600
same story. 
That's 10 out of 10. 

1024
00:43:58,700 --> 00:44:01,000
Okay, I've got another one here,
and I'm actually jealous of 

1025
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,300
this. 
I want this store. 

1026
00:44:02,300 --> 00:44:04,700
I want to this confession to be 
mine and it's not. 

1027
00:44:04,700 --> 00:44:06,200
And when this came in, I 
thought. 

1028
00:44:06,700 --> 00:44:10,200
Oh my gosh. 
So this person says I have 

1029
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,600
secret access to the stationery,
cupboard key, and feel like I've

1030
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,000
won the lottery. 
I have to get into school 

1031
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:20,300
before, 7 a.m. or stay after six
so that I can read the cupboard.

1032
00:44:20,300 --> 00:44:23,600
But I have glue sticks, Galore, 
and all the colored Post-it 

1033
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:24,900
notes that you could. 
Imagine. 

1034
00:44:25,300 --> 00:44:28,200
I saw I was honestly, I replied 
straight away. 

1035
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:32,800
This one saying, like what I am 
so jealous and she just went, 

1036
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,200
yeah, A girl's, gotta do what a 
girl's gotta do, the idea of 

1037
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,500
getting it back trying to get in
before SLT, to go to a cupboard 

1038
00:44:38,500 --> 00:44:41,200
because you have none of it. 
Otherwise why aren't there any 

1039
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,900
way I can eat it so bad. 
Yeah yeah that's true. 

1040
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:49,400
I bet every school has at least 
one Captain hoarder just a 

1041
00:44:49,408 --> 00:44:52,200
person they know to go to is 
like they always like me here, 

1042
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,000
conquering Comic-Con. 
Don't we won't take me back to 

1043
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:54,700
the SLT. 
Don't mind. 

1044
00:44:54,700 --> 00:44:58,600
But I've got, I've got Like you 
know 50 boxes are pencils back 

1045
00:45:00,100 --> 00:45:02,100
over the years. 
I've not used after stack him 

1046
00:45:02,100 --> 00:45:04,000
up. 
I just know we kind of need 

1047
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,400
them, we kind of need them. 
Please come with nap, we have 

1048
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,200
them here. 
So she went on to say not even 

1049
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,400
our Deputy heads have access to 
the sacred key. 

1050
00:45:11,700 --> 00:45:14,600
The TA that worked with me last 
year mentioned she was given a 

1051
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,400
master key for some reason and I
told her to guard it with her 

1052
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,900
life and tell no one. 
So she actually keeps it but she

1053
00:45:20,900 --> 00:45:24,400
goes to her for Access so she 
doesn't even have the key to the

1054
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:28,000
ultimate crime so the ultimate 
Just put a fashion that if 

1055
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,300
someone came and said someone's 
been accessing if you've got a 

1056
00:45:30,308 --> 00:45:32,300
key. 
But no, she doesn't, she doesn't

1057
00:45:32,300 --> 00:45:35,200
even have the K know. 
That's, that's like, ruthless 

1058
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:36,400
today but I would bet to do 
that. 

1059
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,700
I think I do read on it reminds 
me a lot of our own, you know 

1060
00:45:39,700 --> 00:45:41,500
that, you know, that 
unbelievable, pretty sick story.

1061
00:45:41,500 --> 00:45:42,500
That we're gonna tell us some 
point. 

1062
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,500
Oh yeah, we'll save. 
It was save it, but it just 

1063
00:45:44,500 --> 00:45:46,400
reminds me that I've got another
confession here. 

1064
00:45:46,900 --> 00:45:49,000
So another one reading actually 
forgotten it. 

1065
00:45:49,008 --> 00:45:50,600
I'm going to read it myself 
again, work out. 

1066
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,600
What is at school? 
I once worked in. 

1067
00:45:52,900 --> 00:45:54,300
Oh yeah. 
Used a really complex. 

1068
00:45:54,300 --> 00:45:57,400
Digital Teacher Assessment 
tracking tool where we had to 

1069
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,000
assess all of the children. 
Has hundreds of objectives 

1070
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,000
across multiple subjects. 
So, if anyone doesn't work in a 

1071
00:46:02,008 --> 00:46:05,400
school, it is exactly that 
assessments by teachers based on

1072
00:46:05,408 --> 00:46:07,100
what you think. 
The children can do based on 

1073
00:46:07,100 --> 00:46:08,300
your lessons, your market, 
right? 

1074
00:46:08,500 --> 00:46:11,000
And just keeping track of every 
objective, you teach can be 

1075
00:46:11,008 --> 00:46:13,400
quite time consuming. 
We would either necessarily do, 

1076
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,600
like, a piece of work, right? 
It's just what you think at the 

1077
00:46:15,607 --> 00:46:16,900
end of the lesson. 
Yeah. 

1078
00:46:16,900 --> 00:46:19,700
Basically. 
And this way, it will clarify 

1079
00:46:19,700 --> 00:46:21,400
when they do it. 
So it said we were given no 

1080
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,900
additional time classic to do it
and it was just expected to kind

1081
00:46:24,900 --> 00:46:27,300
of get done magically a Every 
lesson all week. 

1082
00:46:27,300 --> 00:46:28,700
So I guess that was the idea of,
right? 

1083
00:46:28,900 --> 00:46:31,000
They had to regularly update, 
this assessment of these 

1084
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,700
children or whether they got the
objective or not all like 

1085
00:46:33,700 --> 00:46:37,700
excelled or whatever. 
Because they went nowhere and 

1086
00:46:37,700 --> 00:46:39,900
Teacher Assessment was 
overridden by test scores 

1087
00:46:39,900 --> 00:46:42,300
anyway. 
I just used to wait until they 

1088
00:46:42,300 --> 00:46:45,100
finish their test and make up 
all the back that the Teacher 

1089
00:46:45,100 --> 00:46:47,100
Assessment. 
So that it matched their test 

1090
00:46:47,100 --> 00:46:49,900
scores, right? 
And I'm like, yeah, okay. 

1091
00:46:49,900 --> 00:46:51,800
I can see them but this is even 
better. 

1092
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,500
One time I was called to the 
office to talk about my teacher 

1093
00:46:55,500 --> 00:46:59,000
assessments and I knew I'd been 
caught turns out. 

1094
00:46:59,100 --> 00:47:01,700
I was praised for having such 
accurate assessment and I was 

1095
00:47:01,700 --> 00:47:04,200
asked to lead a staff meeting on
how to use the tracking tool 

1096
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:08,200
effectively. 
So yeah quite funny right in a 

1097
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,700
way that's unreal. 
Yeah because then you have to go

1098
00:47:10,700 --> 00:47:13,400
in and tell them the really 
stringent way that you do that, 

1099
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:14,400
man. 
Oh yeah. 

1100
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,400
They were just had to completely
black it when they complete guys

1101
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,900
like in that meeting post, it's 
really easy. 

1102
00:47:19,900 --> 00:47:23,200
Actually it's really easy way to
see what they get and put it in 

1103
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,500
after ya. 
Well cause you know how to 

1104
00:47:25,508 --> 00:47:26,800
learn. 
Yeah. 

1105
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,400
You know, how our teacher 
assessments don't sort of go to 

1106
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,100
anything ever. 
So what I did was I just didn't 

1107
00:47:32,100 --> 00:47:35,200
do them and then when we did 
those tests where the scores do 

1108
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:38,700
goes out, Use them. 
So, you know, when you're in 

1109
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,200
your site in a pupil progress, 
meeting at the end of the year 

1110
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:42,800
and I just whip out the test 
scores. 

1111
00:47:42,900 --> 00:47:46,800
Oh, are you going to use any of 
that stuff that I did every time

1112
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,700
for that? 
No, no, no. 

1113
00:47:48,700 --> 00:47:49,500
Okay. 
All right. 

1114
00:47:49,700 --> 00:47:51,100
Oh, no problem. 
Yeah, no problem. 

1115
00:47:51,100 --> 00:47:52,800
Why do we do it? 
Well, she's in case. 

1116
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:57,700
Someone asks aren't you? 
The people that ask it's okay. 

1117
00:47:57,700 --> 00:47:59,400
Say it coming. 
Say the r-word. 

1118
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:00,900
Exactly. 
Exactly. 

1119
00:48:01,100 --> 00:48:02,700
Okay, so so come in. 
So we look like we're doing 

1120
00:48:02,700 --> 00:48:04,300
teacher assessments even though 
no one cares about them, haven't

1121
00:48:04,300 --> 00:48:06,500
used them since 2014. 
Oh okay. 

1122
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,300
Here I got you. 
But hey, ho here we are. 

1123
00:48:08,300 --> 00:48:09,900
This is the wonderful world of 
teaching guys. 

1124
00:48:09,900 --> 00:48:13,400
I've got another one. 
Okay, this one, this one really 

1125
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:18,000
really cracked me up because 
it's not me but I absolutely 

1126
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,000
resonate with this and I've got 
a joint story that comes in 

1127
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,700
after it, okay? 
Alright, so as we all know as 

1128
00:48:23,700 --> 00:48:26,400
teachers, just the context, when
it's someone's birthday in 

1129
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,400
class, they quite often bring in
some sweets, they're bringing 

1130
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,800
something to give to the class. 
At the end of the day, we sing 

1131
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:34,800
happy birthday and they get some
sweets to one for each child. 

1132
00:48:34,900 --> 00:48:39,000
So, So this story, it really 
cramped. 

1133
00:48:39,700 --> 00:48:41,600
So this boy is this boy's 
birthday? 

1134
00:48:41,700 --> 00:48:45,500
He'd brought in sweets and they 
were those bags of harrybo, 

1135
00:48:45,900 --> 00:48:48,100
okay? 
So bags of harrybo, and you end 

1136
00:48:48,100 --> 00:48:50,100
up with like 12 in a bag, and 
they bring in loads, there's 

1137
00:48:50,100 --> 00:48:54,000
always some leftover, so, once 
the children went, he'd left a 

1138
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:58,200
bag and it had ten to Fifteen of
those small Haribo packets left 

1139
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,600
inside. 
I'll teach a walk back in after 

1140
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,600
a long day after dismissing, his
children saw, there were 10 to 

1141
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:07,100
15 Harbor packets left. 
A All of the harrybo marking 

1142
00:49:07,100 --> 00:49:10,400
didn't think much of it going 
through his books and then at 

1143
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:14,000
4:20 after Club finished which 
were the boy in question 

1144
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:17,200
actually went to Club came back 
to see him to pick up his sweets

1145
00:49:17,500 --> 00:49:21,000
as those as those leftover 
sweets, had been explicitly told

1146
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,800
by his parents that they were 
for his party the day after at 

1147
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,600
the weekend. 
Oh no. 

1148
00:49:25,700 --> 00:49:29,900
He walked back in and asked for 
them and the teacher was 

1149
00:49:29,900 --> 00:49:33,000
mortified but managed to save 
face and explained how I do. 

1150
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,100
I'm not sure why they've gone 
maybe the cleaners of it and 

1151
00:49:35,100 --> 00:49:38,300
maybe something Happened. 
It all went fine until he looked

1152
00:49:38,300 --> 00:49:44,000
at my desk and saw three empty 
packets on my laptop that is I 

1153
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,000
would be honestly I thought 
horrible. 

1154
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,400
I'd go to the transmedia me but 
like yeah but Mom the mom had 

1155
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:51,800
said, make sure you bring this 
balance. 

1156
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:53,000
Didn't didn't? 
Just spare. 

1157
00:49:53,100 --> 00:49:54,700
Make sure to bring them back to 
the birthday party tomorrow 

1158
00:49:54,700 --> 00:49:58,200
we'll get them out. 
It's for my birthday imagine 

1159
00:49:58,200 --> 00:49:59,700
leaving, right? 
It's a it looks like this kid 

1160
00:49:59,700 --> 00:50:01,100
out. 
You're feeling really bad and 

1161
00:50:01,100 --> 00:50:03,800
Mom just looks for you and 
you've got ten Harry vo rings on

1162
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:05,500
your fingers when you were 
playing with her. 

1163
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,700
Them just like I just don't, I 
don't know what happened. 

1164
00:50:08,700 --> 00:50:12,500
I'm really sorry that there were
10. 

1165
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,700
There Were Ten packets. 
I just falls out your pocket. 

1166
00:50:14,700 --> 00:50:16,600
What'd you put Gummy? 
Yeah. 

1167
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,300
Gummy bears. 
Falling out your shirt where you

1168
00:50:18,308 --> 00:50:23,700
just drop that pit pick it out 
your teeth like, yeah, I got my 

1169
00:50:23,700 --> 00:50:25,700
God. 
So we have today to remind me, I

1170
00:50:25,707 --> 00:50:30,900
forgot to say this earlier today
it's in my cupboard at 

1171
00:50:30,900 --> 00:50:33,800
lunchtime. 
We've ordered a bunch of 

1172
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:37,400
marshmallows for detail. 
T like them, but they're like, 

1173
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,700
back to we're making structures 
with like switched again 

1174
00:50:39,700 --> 00:50:42,000
tomorrow. 
Yes, classic thing, right? 

1175
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,900
And, and we ordered too many, 
the too many marshmallows. 

1176
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:49,200
Oh, oh, oh, did we did the 
massive twice. 

1177
00:50:51,100 --> 00:50:56,100
So all of these marginalized in 
my cupboard as like they're 

1178
00:50:56,100 --> 00:51:00,000
open, I'm just time and I just 
ate like four of them, like big 

1179
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,300
ones as well. 
It's big and I came out of 

1180
00:51:02,300 --> 00:51:05,200
munching on a last bit of them. 
As I came out of my cupboard. 

1181
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,200
But you can't see through it. 
I didn't know it. 

1182
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,400
Was there just a child walking 
through just just grabbing a 

1183
00:51:09,408 --> 00:51:12,100
book and she looked at me and I 
looked at her, she know exactly 

1184
00:51:12,100 --> 00:51:14,600
what the hell I was doing. 
And I just sort of smile to her 

1185
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:16,500
because she's like, she's like 
one of the nicest kids ever. 

1186
00:51:16,500 --> 00:51:19,600
And I just thought I was like, 
yeah, I me, I am eating those 

1187
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:23,900
much as I told you not to eat in
DT, guys. 

1188
00:51:23,900 --> 00:51:26,500
It's really important. 
We only have enough marshmallows

1189
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:28,700
for every single child to build 
their structure. 

1190
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:36,700
Do not go to Mike's mom, but 
sir, We're the last ones to do 

1191
00:51:36,700 --> 00:51:39,100
is, they've got to go to the 
next class, okay? 

1192
00:51:39,300 --> 00:51:45,400
I'll use the next year mouth. 
That was our new feature of 

1193
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,700
Confessions of a teacher because
I think that just allows for 

1194
00:51:48,700 --> 00:51:50,600
some really funny stories to 
come forward. 

1195
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:54,100
So as always get in touch in the
email teach sleep repeat POD at 

1196
00:51:54,100 --> 00:51:57,900
gmail.com or come to our 
Instagram and let us know your 

1197
00:51:57,900 --> 00:52:00,800
teacher confessions because that
was one of my favorite little 

1198
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:02,700
bits that we've done so far on 
the podcast really fun 

1199
00:52:02,700 --> 00:52:04,600
definitely. 
And so the last thing you want 

1200
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:07,400
to do is the Six kind of Link 2 
because we've had some stories, 

1201
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,700
but we've got stories from the 
classroom Hayden. 

1202
00:52:10,700 --> 00:52:13,000
You've got a funny one. 
I've got a nice one, but I want 

1203
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:14,500
to share with you before we 
finish this week. 

1204
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,000
Let's jump straight in nice. 
We're starting to be too long 

1205
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:18,700
this week, is it? 
Because my story is fairly 

1206
00:52:18,700 --> 00:52:21,000
short, but I know that you like 
this one as it's, my expense. 

1207
00:52:21,500 --> 00:52:23,500
So did I was trying to re tell 
me the story? 

1208
00:52:23,500 --> 00:52:26,000
I don't know, come and listen. 
Listen, I'll tell the story 

1209
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,200
properly on the podcast because 
he's forgotten, he's forgotten 

1210
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:30,700
how it worked, how it can I give
their very very brief overview 

1211
00:52:30,700 --> 00:52:32,400
so you can jump in with the da. 
Go on, go on. 

1212
00:52:32,500 --> 00:52:35,100
So essentially what happened was
in our school, we had a bit of a

1213
00:52:35,100 --> 00:52:38,800
push At the time in English pdms
of word, meaning, a vocabulary 

1214
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,000
to big thing for our school, 
making sure children are 

1215
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:42,900
expanding their vocabulary as 
much as possible. 

1216
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:46,700
And one of the things we really 
focused on was strategies on how

1217
00:52:46,900 --> 00:52:50,300
the children could work out what
a word means when they just 

1218
00:52:50,300 --> 00:52:53,500
don't know, because we're going 
to have test test questions. 

1219
00:52:53,500 --> 00:52:57,300
That's a, you know, a testing 
them about what a word means and

1220
00:52:57,300 --> 00:52:59,500
sometimes the children have just
never heard of it before. 

1221
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,000
So we have loads of strategies 
that we've taught them looking 

1222
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,200
for root words, looking for a 
suffix. 

1223
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,600
That means, maybe the opposite 
of Something looking at the 

1224
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:10,000
context of the whole sentence 
and a really big one was 

1225
00:53:10,100 --> 00:53:13,600
swapping the word in for a 
different word and seeing if it 

1226
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:15,100
still makes sense, that kind of 
thing. 

1227
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,600
So, Hayden obviously, was 
reading his class text to his 

1228
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,500
class and they came across a 
word that they are unsure of 

1229
00:53:21,700 --> 00:53:25,400
Hayden, take it from him, right?
First of all contacts, we are 

1230
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:28,800
reading flood lands by Marcus 
Sedgwick and the only real, it's

1231
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:31,300
funny that the stories come up 
because I'm literally reading 

1232
00:53:31,300 --> 00:53:34,700
that story at the moment with my
class and this were, I read past

1233
00:53:34,700 --> 00:53:37,600
this word. 
This or last week actually and I

1234
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:39,900
was like how funny and I started
giggling and I had to tell my 

1235
00:53:39,900 --> 00:53:42,300
class this story because they 
were like, why you laughing 

1236
00:53:42,300 --> 00:53:43,700
randomly in a sentence? 
It wasn't even. 

1237
00:53:43,900 --> 00:53:46,200
It was a dark sentence as well 
as I not panic. 

1238
00:53:46,900 --> 00:53:49,400
So I want you to imagine this. 
If you've got a pen and paper 

1239
00:53:49,700 --> 00:53:52,300
and we to write this word down, 
if not just think of the letter 

1240
00:53:52,300 --> 00:53:54,700
to cake or not to tell you what 
it says because, you know, such 

1241
00:53:54,700 --> 00:54:01,000
a complex word, ready under-5 
Edie. 

1242
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,000
Okay, just write that word down,
right. 

1243
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,100
You might see that it made. 
Anything was he talking about? 

1244
00:54:06,300 --> 00:54:12,300
I read that word in a sentence 
out loud to the class as under 

1245
00:54:12,300 --> 00:54:17,200
fact, and with my room, with my 
reading, like all this reading 

1246
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,000
training, we be doing in mind as
I all. 

1247
00:54:19,300 --> 00:54:21,600
What great opportunity, those 
tickets talk about this, the 

1248
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,400
class a great opportunity to 
explore some word meaning 

1249
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:26,300
because you didn't know what it 
meant because you would 

1250
00:54:26,300 --> 00:54:27,800
understand never heard of it 
before. 

1251
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:29,900
I was like, wow, this is, it was
a verb is a verb. 

1252
00:54:29,900 --> 00:54:31,800
Guys. 
Being used as a verb, okay. 

1253
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:34,200
I think it would be probably 
wasn't an objective, may be. 

1254
00:54:34,500 --> 00:54:38,300
And, and as I've never heard it 
before, what do you think under 

1255
00:54:38,300 --> 00:54:40,400
that means guys? 
10 seconds told your partner 

1256
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,700
from the meat around the 
sentence, read the sentence 

1257
00:54:42,700 --> 00:54:45,000
would have under this to work 
out what it means. 

1258
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,400
I was like looking at my screen 
think I'm going to get I thought

1259
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,400
you know, the dictionary up an 
email Google so it will look 

1260
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:55,800
like you can very quickly we've 
done that which teacher has not 

1261
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:57,800
done that before when they just 
don't know and they say why 

1262
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,600
don't you talk about it chat and
you secretly? 

1263
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:02,400
Go to your laptop like oh yeah. 
A search that. 

1264
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,800
Yeah, all you black it and you 
like it. 

1265
00:55:04,808 --> 00:55:07,000
You know what? 
Yeah, I can think of the 

1266
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:08,300
definition but there's a better 
one on Google. 

1267
00:55:08,300 --> 00:55:11,400
I'm just gonna check you. 
Just want to make sure. 

1268
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,800
Just get it right guys. 
Kids go along with it, like 

1269
00:55:13,808 --> 00:55:16,000
they're thinking about what this
under that means. 

1270
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,000
All right, there was, it was 
describing children. 

1271
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:19,900
I just remember the context of 
the sentence was describing 

1272
00:55:19,900 --> 00:55:21,700
children. 
Flood lands is like a story, 

1273
00:55:21,700 --> 00:55:23,300
like a post-apocalyptic story, 
right? 

1274
00:55:23,300 --> 00:55:26,100
So under two children community,
these under children are 

1275
00:55:26,107 --> 00:55:31,400
starving communities or thing? 
And yeah, so I go to Google and 

1276
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:34,700
I Typing it in, think it was 
under oath to me when I type in 

1277
00:55:34,700 --> 00:55:38,200
underserved and and then they 
sort of give it a feedback of 

1278
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,200
what they think. 
It might mean they like maybe it

1279
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:43,100
means like really skinny, maybe 
because we know the context of 

1280
00:55:43,100 --> 00:55:45,600
centers of these children being 
like in a deprived City where 

1281
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,900
there's no food left. 
I said yeah brilliant and I 

1282
00:55:47,900 --> 00:55:49,300
looked at him death I was like 
wow. 

1283
00:55:49,300 --> 00:55:53,200
Like well done let's say yeah 
when you've not had much food 

1284
00:55:53,500 --> 00:55:56,800
that's fantastic and this boy 
and it's so annoying because 

1285
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:59,200
this boy was like the smuggest 
boy my class. 

1286
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,700
I love this kid but he was just 
any of it. 

1287
00:56:01,900 --> 00:56:04,500
He has, he can tell me he got 
him and this was like the 

1288
00:56:04,500 --> 00:56:06,100
ultimate win. 
Put his hand up. 

1289
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,900
Already smiling that mr. 
Stevens. 

1290
00:56:09,100 --> 00:56:10,000
Yes. 
Yeah. 

1291
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:15,300
It's like think that says, 
underfed and Justice, like wave 

1292
00:56:15,300 --> 00:56:18,400
of embarrassment, just flooded 
my whole head. 

1293
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,200
I very, very, I don't get 
embarrassed easy. 

1294
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:23,300
As you know, I very rarely going
bad or just play it off. 

1295
00:56:24,100 --> 00:56:28,000
Oh man, I couldn't believe I'd 
spent like a whole minute doing 

1296
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,600
exercise and thinking. 
Yeah, yeah, this is such a 

1297
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:31,800
great. 
This is such a good example. 

1298
00:56:31,900 --> 00:56:38,000
Quality again, attention. 
Underfed, underfed, I just saw 

1299
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,300
on as a prefix and Thoreau root,
word death. 

1300
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:42,600
And I, that's why I said as well
as in what you think, death 

1301
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:47,300
means the root word deaf every 
world of that's why I did that. 

1302
00:56:47,300 --> 00:56:48,700
I did that. 
I was like, we got on, we've got

1303
00:56:48,700 --> 00:56:50,200
Ed. 
Think it a lot prefixes 

1304
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:54,100
suffixes. 
That means if man what an idiot.

1305
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:58,100
What an idiot. 
Unlike the fed and the kids just

1306
00:56:58,100 --> 00:57:01,000
held they laughed so much cause 
they were like they're always 

1307
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,300
like, I can't believe. 
Levi could some of them probably

1308
00:57:03,300 --> 00:57:05,100
fell into that trap as well 
because I convinced them, yeah, 

1309
00:57:05,100 --> 00:57:07,500
of course it's other word and 
they realize it's just it under 

1310
00:57:07,500 --> 00:57:11,400
for the underfed children. 
Obviously I didn't even twig at 

1311
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:14,600
the definition stage on Google 
is just another word for 

1312
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:20,100
starving. 
Okay, so my story, I'm right 

1313
00:57:20,100 --> 00:57:22,800
away that we go on about how we 
love this job and we do, but I 

1314
00:57:23,100 --> 00:57:25,800
am worried sometimes that we 
kind of fall into a trap of just

1315
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:27,800
going into a rant, okay? 
And and kind of complaining 

1316
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:29,200
about something. 
So I want to finish with a nice 

1317
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:32,100
story cage. 
We love this job besides, I hate

1318
00:57:32,100 --> 00:57:37,800
it, it's just yeah, exactly, 
look into actually worried. 

1319
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:39,600
You love this job and it's 
usually connections with the 

1320
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:41,000
children, right and helping them
out. 

1321
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:44,400
I've taught this lad previously,
he's high up in the school now 

1322
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:47,600
but still in the school. 
I had a really nice relationship

1323
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:49,300
with this ladder. 
I felt like I really understood 

1324
00:57:49,300 --> 00:57:52,600
him and he got on with me and it
was just such a nice yet 

1325
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:56,800
teaching him. 
I really enjoyed it and he would

1326
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:58,900
have problems. 
Sometimes, controlling his 

1327
00:57:58,900 --> 00:58:02,500
anger, he'd get angry very 
quickly, but the thing I was so 

1328
00:58:02,500 --> 00:58:06,100
proud of him about this is going
to be a story from the assembly.

1329
00:58:06,100 --> 00:58:08,100
Again, I'm gonna start crying 
heading. 

1330
00:58:08,100 --> 00:58:11,600
No, I'm joking, not yet. 
The thing I was really proud of 

1331
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,700
him though because over the year
he really developed such 

1332
00:58:14,700 --> 00:58:17,500
maturity. 
Where you can't control getting 

1333
00:58:17,500 --> 00:58:21,500
angry and we spoke about this, 
all emotions are acceptable and 

1334
00:58:21,500 --> 00:58:23,300
fine. 
You cannot control getting 

1335
00:58:23,300 --> 00:58:25,200
angry. 
He, of course you can't, you get

1336
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:29,200
annoyed, right? 
But he got so good at just 

1337
00:58:29,300 --> 00:58:32,600
recognizing it quickly. 
Understanding who is angry and 

1338
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,000
taking himself out of situations
and he would frequently come up,

1339
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:39,000
to me and say, hey, I've got 
really annoyed and I throw my 

1340
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:42,000
bag on the floor and he'll say 
stuff like this, and I would 

1341
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:43,600
always keep him with praise 
with. 

1342
00:58:43,900 --> 00:58:46,500
Well, done, well done. 
Because that, Of excavated you 

1343
00:58:46,500 --> 00:58:48,900
stepped away and you've told me 
you've recognized it and I just 

1344
00:58:48,900 --> 00:58:52,200
remember saying to at the end of
the year, I was like, you're so 

1345
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:53,700
ready to go up. 
You know, when you make a big 

1346
00:58:53,700 --> 00:58:56,100
deal of the next year, when it's
really it's not a big deal but 

1347
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,800
you're so ready for you five 
because you've got so much 

1348
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:05,000
maturity and you really do just 
know when to step away and just 

1349
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:07,200
basically just picking them up. 
I was like, well, done. 

1350
00:59:07,300 --> 00:59:11,400
And so what happened was, I was 
on duty and this lad is on, is 

1351
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,300
on the playground. 
And the classic thing was 

1352
00:59:13,300 --> 00:59:15,300
happening, okay, this group were
just playing. 

1353
00:59:15,700 --> 00:59:17,600
He was getting frustrated 
because one of the maybe wasn't 

1354
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,000
playing by the rules, legitimate
thing to get frustrated about, 

1355
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:23,300
he wasn't being out of order, 
but he got angry and I saw him 

1356
00:59:23,300 --> 00:59:24,900
getting angry from across the 
playground. 

1357
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,000
So, I make a beeline for him 
straightaway, right? 

1358
00:59:27,100 --> 00:59:30,400
Just so we can see me and he 
clocks me and you could see him 

1359
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:33,300
kind of realize and go back into
that moment of okay. 

1360
00:59:33,300 --> 00:59:35,500
Oh no, I'm getting annoyed, KFC,
mr. 

1361
00:59:35,500 --> 00:59:37,300
Private, I remember mr. 
Fight, we've spoken about this 

1362
00:59:37,300 --> 00:59:39,000
before, and you could just see 
it kind of click in his brain 

1363
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:42,200
and he walked over to me and I 
didn't even mention the fact, is

1364
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:45,200
getting angry, right? 
I just made him laugh. 

1365
00:59:45,300 --> 00:59:47,300
I just said, I said something. 
Sit at heart. 

1366
00:59:47,300 --> 00:59:49,400
Remember exactly what I said, 
but the point was, I was taking 

1367
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,100
his mind off it straight away 
because he knew, I knew I didn't

1368
00:59:52,100 --> 00:59:54,100
have to go and talk to her about
getting angry or not, because 

1369
00:59:54,300 --> 00:59:56,300
it's acceptable and he knows 
what to do in a situation. 

1370
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:58,200
So, we ended up having a chat 
for a minute. 

1371
00:59:58,300 --> 01:00:01,000
He came down, he went off 
laughing, he was on the edge of 

1372
01:00:01,008 --> 01:00:02,800
getting really annoyed and 
working stuff up and maybe 

1373
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,300
getting upset, he went away. 
Laughing and I was like oh 

1374
01:00:05,308 --> 01:00:07,300
that's really nice and I was 
very content at that. 

1375
01:00:07,700 --> 01:00:11,500
And what really this is the part
of the job that you do just love

1376
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:15,500
because the day after I walked 
Into my classroom and on my desk

1377
01:00:15,500 --> 01:00:21,000
was a note and he'd written it 
and it said Mr. Price is really 

1378
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,600
nice. 
I've had two months, I've had 

1379
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:27,400
him once I but I want him. 
I want him twice like he wanted 

1380
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:28,700
me when he went to year six or 
something. 

1381
01:00:28,700 --> 01:00:31,000
Yeah. 
As his teacher again and I 

1382
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:35,200
genuinely got not upset, but I 
like, you know, I was like that 

1383
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:39,300
is in a picture in a piece of 
writing there that impact that 

1384
01:00:39,300 --> 01:00:41,700
you can have on a child just by 
building those relationships 

1385
01:00:41,700 --> 01:00:44,300
with them and genuinely being 
caring and Interested in what 

1386
01:00:44,300 --> 01:00:45,700
they have to say, and help you. 
Yeah. 

1387
01:00:45,900 --> 01:00:49,100
And I remember because he came 
to me after to check, I got it. 

1388
01:00:49,700 --> 01:00:52,900
And he said to me and this was 
another layer to this that I 

1389
01:00:52,908 --> 01:00:55,000
really appreciated. 
Was he said, oh did you get my 

1390
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:56,700
letters at all? 
Thank you so much. 

1391
01:00:56,700 --> 01:00:58,900
It was so lovely. 
I really appreciate that because

1392
01:00:58,900 --> 01:01:00,800
you were lovely as well, and I 
wish I could have you again in 

1393
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:05,000
my class, that be really nice. 
And then he said, I didn't cry, 

1394
01:01:05,300 --> 01:01:06,900
I didn't cry. 
I, you know, I've had years now 

1395
01:01:06,900 --> 01:01:08,300
to practice my assembly 
colonies. 

1396
01:01:09,300 --> 01:01:12,200
And, but he just said to me, 
it's like, yeah, my mom helped 

1397
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:13,600
me write that last night and 
day. 

1398
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:18,500
The idea that he'd gone home 
kind of just understood that 

1399
01:01:18,500 --> 01:01:20,400
interaction helped him, really 
appreciate it. 

1400
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,000
And asked his mom to help him 
like do something to show his 

1401
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:26,200
appreciation. 
That really, really, really made

1402
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:28,800
me feel happy and it and again, 
it's that it's those moments 

1403
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:30,100
where you like this jobs, 
amazing. 

1404
01:01:30,100 --> 01:01:32,600
This job is exactly the job that
I want to have because you're 

1405
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:34,900
going to have an impact on these
kids lives. 

1406
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:40,300
I think you have basically 
captured the essence of what is 

1407
01:01:40,300 --> 01:01:44,500
so beautiful about this job. 
And it, and it is It is enough 

1408
01:01:44,500 --> 01:01:46,700
for most of us is included 
because we're still doing it. 

1409
01:01:46,700 --> 01:01:49,900
It is enough to override all of 
that stuff that we joke about 

1410
01:01:49,900 --> 01:01:53,000
and we mind about me rant about 
and we talk on behalf of people 

1411
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:56,200
writing in about, you know, it's
enough those moments. 

1412
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:58,400
That's why we do it. 
Yeah. 

1413
01:01:58,400 --> 01:01:59,900
That's a nice story. 
Absolutely. 

1414
01:01:59,900 --> 01:02:02,600
I just thought I think every now
and then we have to ground 

1415
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:04,000
ourselves and put that out there
as well. 

1416
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:05,900
Because I bet you've all got a 
story like that especially if 

1417
01:02:05,908 --> 01:02:08,900
you work in a school of just 
those moments where you go. 

1418
01:02:08,900 --> 01:02:11,900
Yeah, this is what I do. 
This is what I do and I love it 

1419
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:13,500
and you know what that? 
Yeah. 

1420
01:02:13,700 --> 01:02:15,900
Stories really got me thinking 
because like the sentimental 

1421
01:02:15,900 --> 01:02:19,500
value of that, just reminds me 
so much of the kind of Core 

1422
01:02:19,500 --> 01:02:21,400
Essence of the pretty sick 
story. 

1423
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,800
That was so desperate to share 
sixth, or it isn't it? 

1424
01:02:23,900 --> 01:02:27,200
It's a tearjerker to tearjerker.
Unfortunately, we are out of 

1425
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,100
time for this week, are we? 
Oh Christ? 

1426
01:02:29,100 --> 01:02:29,600
Yeah. 
Okay. 

1427
01:02:29,700 --> 01:02:31,400
When we won't do it now then 
because it's a big story. 

1428
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:34,000
So we will obviously save it for
to hold the whole episode on the

1429
01:02:34,008 --> 01:02:35,100
right? 
Yeah, yeah, we do. 

1430
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:36,600
Yeah. 
We do a whole episode on the 

1431
01:02:37,100 --> 01:02:38,400
critic story. 
It's a good story. 

1432
01:02:38,500 --> 01:02:40,700
It's a great story teller guys. 
Thanks so much. 

1433
01:02:41,100 --> 01:02:43,500
