My darlings, embrace the chaos! Revel in the absurdity! For in a world that makes absolutely no sense, the only sane thing to do is to go completely mad.

@suecowley.bsky.social you were my behaviour idol as a trainee - is it more important to be an engaging teacher with memorable engaging lessons or a consistent one with high expectations

1. As a male primary school teacher in leadership, you know that there are certain expectations, especially juggling the demands of a full-time class and senior roles. Add fatherhood to the mix, and life becomes a delicate balancing act—rewarding, yes, but a constant whirlwind of responsibilities.

Is it possible to even be a fun teacher when poor behaviour exists? Every time I try to plan something fun and engaging for my class a fight breaks out, somebody swears or a chair gets thrown and I ask myself why bother?

Hi Dylan, new fan Mr S here, I’ve been combing the archives of your podcast and I have a conundrum for you - I’m a teacher of 16 years and while I used to be fun, toxic schools and low level behaviour has taken the fun out of my teaching, activities like making pizza or Christmas decorations

At the risk of dipping my toes in politics it’s pretty easy how we win - tell Elon he needs Trump to survive, tell Trump that he only won thanks to Elon and they’ll implode - we got to mean girls this shit
