This sounds horrendous, im so sorry you went through that 😭 but happy you had a healthy baby boy

Gousto if you see this, try and remove the plastic

The classrooms have apparently become zoos!😯😯😯😯

😭 im being induced tomorrow...im so scared

I started teaching in the early 1970s and the story then was similar. I was put in a room with 36 students and literally no equipment except desks and empty cupboards. Only bloody minded perseverence and not knowing where else to go, I gradually learned that it wasnt my fault that it was so difficu.t. After 45 years involved with education I can honestly say its a fools game. Read deschooling society by Illich nd a mathematicians lament by Lockhart . In the 70s and 80s there was a lot of effort in trying to make sense of the job by teacherz, the the national curricu.um came in and gradually we became the deliverers of govt policy. At the time eminent educators warned against allowing politicians control over education.

I taught mostly physics with most HS science subjects ( except biology) for 32 years and recently retired. I agree with many of the problems other teachers have talked about. But I was in the USMC before I went to college and started teaching. I had plenty of things in the corps that were stressful. Like many posting here , I had some trying days teaching . But you keep your head , stay the course and complete your.mission to the best of your ability. That's exactly what I did with few complaints for over 30 years.

Hi. Thank you for making this video, this topic is really hard to find any information about. But pls I have a question. Can you tell me how the ministry of education takes teachers for schools in Scotland? Do they use special universities and courses or do they just employ people who have taken the teaching course from other universities?

Girlie, it sounds like you had an unnecessary induction and delivered with medical staff that seemed bothered you dared to even show up. And that's not even mentioning the gas lighting when you said you felt the need to push. Congrats on your beautiful baby though <3

Thank you!!!!

9:27 thanks

My son walked at 6 months. So did his cousin.

I would like listen to your videos at natural speed, please

we're going in the car, we're going in the car

actually I’m trying to pgce in Social Science. For January 2025 intake I secured place at university of Essex ( MA Politics ) ,but after research I came to know job after MA or Funded PhD after MA is very difficult. So I thought of taking safe route and got to know about PGCE QRT . I heard that employment rate after that is more than 60% even in SOCIAL SCIENCE. So I thought of getting into PhD by my own fund earned through this route

Hi Johanna, how can I reach you? I need some honest advice

u look good

do it with more colour

Best thing you can do for the little man!

I'd like to know 3 things that are beneficial for mum as well! :) Just found your channel yesterday, thanks for a nice video, I'm currently breastfeeding my 1 year old and no plans to stop! I found out recently that there's also no risk for the pregnancy if one got pregnant while breastfeeding, which I always had heard (although could be harder to GET pregnant). There is so much false information out there! Did you know this information? :)

Sometimes it seems like your baby is just being a jerk.

I teach 10th grade history in the United States and I am on the verge of quitting. I said I would give one more year a chance, but it’s gotten so bad since COVID.

Can confirm it’s going great! I’ve not had to scoop out a nappy into the toilet in weeks! You’re doing amazing ❤

How did you get through the 4 month sleep regression? Are you through it? As always this is just my experience but I hope it helped 😁 🩷

😭😭😭

The funny thing is you literally need to do all these

Love your transparency

Hi Love, I want to be a teacher in Uk I found a great job post perfectly match with my experience and practice. Can you please help me how can I apply?

Your doing a great job!! Keep doing what you love ❤

I.m 50 years old so can i get a vesia ?if i get a visa cani grt job? I from south Africa.

I always use bio too, could never get a decent clean with non bio, even with adding vanish or washing on 60. We've used cloth nappies for over 12 years and havent had anything fall apart before its time. Ironically when we were using non bio for a while we saw lots of wear on our night nappies, im guessing now looking back we had ammonia buildup and was eating away at the fabrics.

Trust me...UK public schools are paradise compared to US public schools.

What is this video even about? Who is “he?”

Wait what 😂😂😂

I think you can start an independent common-sense home-schooling network based in Scotland.

It just sounds like you are the bottom feeder to a completely corrupt system.

Hi. I think you are too high-quality a teacher to be teaching in state schools. I'm teaching in China - much better.

😭😭

Would love to know how you got through the 4 month sleep regression and how he’s such a great independent napper!

WISHHHH I had something like this to watch before having my son! LOVE THIS

*leaves baby in room for 9 hours* "my baby sleeps for 9 hours"

Jesus, this editing is trafic.

Glad it worked out. But it’s a concerning that they gave you deadlines; like 4 centimeters in 4 hours. It doesn’t have to be that fast. Pushing only fur an hour? Also not realistic. Saying it’s because baby not tolerating labor? Well they are pushing the limit by giving pitocin. Makes artificially strong contractions. So, the induction causes the problems and then they threaten c-section. It’s crazy. You’re lucky it worked out. The suction method has very real risks too, even worse than forceps ( if dr is skilled with forceps ). Again, glad you and baby got through it well. I just wish doctors would not interfere unless truly necessary.

Don't blame you for quitting. I work in IT, and my girlfriend is a teacher. There is technical solutions to ease the workload but from what I can see they will NEVER implement them. And even if they did they would then add more responsibilities to the job and you end right back up at square one. Teaching seems to have descended into a horrible overwork culture. And if you want to see how bad it can get, just take a look at a South Korean Hogwan. It needs fresh thinking and a total update in terms of resources for teachers such as AI, reporting tools, timesaving solutions such as generating lessons which can then be changed or tweaked at will, data analysis so that you can then see what each child is having trouble with and you know what to focus on with lessons, a system that will automatically tell you when there is enough availability for meetings, a scanner that will read an entire classroom of test papers and then use AI to mark them more accurately than a human. But there is no will for this change, and I can't understand why.

The pecking order of the school system is government, higher ups in school, parents, teachers and last of all the kids. It's more important to pretend to the parents the kids are being educated than actually educate them, it's more important to achieve government targets than educate the kids, it's more important to raise the teacher's pay than educate the kids. I worked in the UK system, both full time and supply teaching and like a huge number of teachers, I sent my kids to a collective homeschool while working in a school. Now I work in a foreign school, classes of 10-12 kids, and 200 in the whole school, kindergarten to sixth form. Really laid back, nurturing and family environment, no targets to meet or masses of admin, no tight curriculums, just make sure the kids have fun each lesson is our main raison d'etre. And this isn't an expensive private school either just a local village school. The British school system is an antiquated system based in Victorian ideas. It's little more than a baby sitting service for workers and a way of crushing kids souls and dehumanising them ready for life. The only solution is to abolish the whole system and start again.

We need to know how our vote affects teaching!!

Interviewed by the Daily Mail, that's brilliant!

in a bird cage hahahah

Training to teach and Teaching in Scotland has done a great damage to my mental health. I hope I can find the courage and pathway to leave soon. I worked so hard to get the qualification and become a fully registered Teacher and feel very sad to have to leave it all behind. I console myself knowing that I could maybe teach in some other country so the hard work I put into qualifying is not a waste.

Super insightful and well said!! I totally agree with everything you said, glad you’re using your voice to speak up about this, especially before the general election
