My internet went off yesterday. Seemed like the router stopped working. Within less than 24 hours someone came to the house and fixed it. This is the side of Dubai I appreciate - fast service! #teachingabroad#dubailife

Love this! Such a core memory from early teen years.

I read this for A Level years ago but I still remember it being one of the first times I came across a more human representation of mental heath and it was a good perspective on an old classic. Would recommend.

I’ve used ChatGTP for a few tasks. - I feel like it was quicker to do it myself but I’ve taught the same year group for five years. Maybe if I moved years I might find it more useful. I’m also not keen to centre AI as the creator in a job where I value my own creativity.

I found it interesting and reflected on my own position in terms of my professional development. 📌

Ooh. I’m in Dubai. We have a new female principal and a new female head of primary. I’d love to learn more and share with them.

Maybe nrich style investigations. Deepen understanding. Look at reasoning and problem solving.

Wishing you all the best. I always end up liking all my classes and kids. Sometimes a slow start makes a great year. Hoping you also have a fab first week when the kids are in.

First two weeks of the new 🇦🇪 term done. Class are in and it’s been a full on week. Loving my class already and having a good vibe about the year ahead. Wrapped up the first teaching week with a well deserved meal x

Make them wait - if it’s not convenient for you. Or if there is a risk of their phone being stolen maybe go quicker. Lot of factors at play. But then, I’ve never been able to be strict about repairing broken phones either 🤦‍♀️
